The repub was built on the respect of human beings. Yeah sure.

But remember, they have an extremely narrow definition of who is really human…

Or, as in the case of torture, they just redefine it, so they can treat anyone any way and say it’s legal.

Redefine torture? Sure.
Redefine the border? Sure.
Redefine life? Sure.

They are a party without Values!
