How to be a Republican:

You need special treatment.  It's hard being rich.  You shouldn't have to pay taxes like the rest of people, who are probably just rabble anyway.  After all, you are entitled.

You have such a fine and well-tuned and appropriate moral vision of what human beings should be doing, that you are entitled to tell other people how to act, as if they couldn't learn for themselves through life and their own experience.


Don't get weird.  Don't go talking about anything like global warming, corporate-caused environmental disaster, the ultimate limits of water, oil, atmosphere, weather.  "Carbon footprint?  Ah, what's that?"

What you need is, after all, leadership.  Your own leadership.
