UPDATE - I'm quite gratified to see this in Community Spotlight - many thanks for this ;-)
It's sad to see how historical principles of charity and compassion have been rent asunder by the greediness introduced into the GOP a few decades ago, and fueled by endless campaign contributions from fat cats. Follow over the Koznoodle where we reveal the long-hidden commandments by which they govern their political lives:
I - Thou shalt have no other God than POWER. RAW power, unlimited power, financial power, political power - and especially absolute power - the kind that corrupteth absolutely. However, thee are above corruption (until thee can no longer resisteth, then deny, deny, deny)
II - Thou shalt not care what thy constituents think, even if they may agreeth with YOU, if they disagreeth with thy campaign contributors.
III - Thou shalt not hesitate to lie, as it assists every one of thy plans to achieve power, in commandment II, above, or even if it just feeleth like fun.
IV - Thou shalt not steal... from other Republicans, and thy wealthy contributors - however, stealing from the 99% is to be encouraged, as it shall seem to give thee the cachet of "crusader" and "defender of Democracy".
V - Thou shalt not cooperate with the current President in any way, or form, for he is an interloper, and not properly qualified to hold forth the highest office in the land. And besides, he is not like thee...
VI - Thou shalt arrange, whenever possible, for thy campaign contributors to receive government largess and tax breaks at every possible opportunity, even when it maketh absolutely no financial sense, and seemeth not financially responsible. However, reserve the government cheese for the lower classes, as they are not worth enriching with gold.
VII Thou shalt NOT giveth a damn about telling the truth, in any of thy communications, as truth is a nebulous commodity, and can be redefined on a per-issue basis. Thou can alter the truth as thee see fit, in order to make thee seem "truthier" than a Democrat. Thou shalt NEVER utter "FACTS" as these cannot be molded to your purpose and are, therefore, VERY dangerous to thy purpose.
VIII - Thou shalt NOT respect anyone of any political party other then thine own, as they are lesser beings, and merely exist as verbal punching bags for thee to beat up on so thee can appear superior. Further, thou shalt NEVER refer to the opposition party by their proper name, as this will further "demean" them and show their unworthiness. Be certain to stress "RAT" at the end of the name, for obvious reasons. This has been said to be effective by apostle Lank Fruntz.
IX - Thou shalt invoke My name as often as needed to make thine LAME and mendacious arguments seem truthful, even when thine arguments fly in the face of common sense or proven truth.
X - Thou shalt deny the effects of millions of years of proven science since all know it was I alone who created the Earth, and the Heavens above, about six thousand years ago. And yea, verily, I DID walk the earth with the beasts you call "dinosaurs" - I called them "Ralph" and "Fido".
XI - Thou shalt feel free to invent additional commandments or pronouncements and assign their origin to me ("God said..."), should they be needed to further your mendacious arguments with the lower classes, or just to make yourself feel more important or God-like.
