How to understand the difference between republicans and Democrats: torture
Republicans support torture and torturers because they think it makes them tough, bad-ass, feared and respected. Democrats support letting torturers walk because they think it serves the purpose of partisan and personal political expediency. In either case, they both come down on the side of torture and torturers, and likewise across the board on every issue. It's an essential ingredient to successfully imposing a hegemonic order that the various indispensable social elements can find their own individual justifications for supporting the hegemonic order.

In my poli sci 101 class. (note that our school had just started an exchange program with a school in China, so about 1/3 of the class was Chinese, and the professor was in his first semester and is from South Korea)
I had to argue with an 18 year old girl (this was my second to last semester,took the class for kicks) who insisted we needed our defense budget to keep away all the "little crappy communist countries who want to go after us................like...........................J apan, South Korea, and Russia)
This class was also a morning class in a fall semester. I'm so glad our Chinese exchange students got to see the competition a la the average American teenager.
