Re: Aug. 4 Jon Caldara column.

The cognitive dissonance prevalent in the Republican Party is pervasive, and while it is often amusing to watch it play out in the media, unfortunately it’s also a very serious problem for the country.

No Republican can lay claim to the so-called coveted conservative mantra of less government, less regulation and low taxes when they consistently whine about cutting the deficit and taxes by cutting or eliminating social programs for the poor and elderly, while at the same time seeking annual increases in military spending and welfare for corporations, two of our biggest government programs.

Republicans don’t need a divorce, they need therapy.
