Why do we keep explaining to the Republicans how to stop *** up?
I like conservatism in certain doses, but it doesn't presently exist. Nor does liberalism, really. We've got two psychotic parties that both managed to jump the political rails, but one wants to imprison or execute me for not being a WASP pumping out WASP kids, so I'm left vaguely cheering for the other ones.

Some people think it would be easier to teach Republicans tolerance than Democrats math and morality
Morality I'll debate since I've not seen either side adhere well to it, but I consider morality to be akin to what dogs leave in coiled piles on the devil strip. Ethics is what matters and the only political party that seems to pay any lip service to that are the Libertarians.
As for tolerance, that's really not the problem of the Republican party. It's the problem of the Religious Right. Oust them and tolerance returns pretty readily, unless you're a Democrat and inexplicably describe "tolerance" as "throwing lots of money pointlessly at problems."
Jesus said that it was harder for a rich man to get into heaven than for a camel to pass through the Eye of the Needle. People habitually read that metaphorically, but the Eye of the Needle was actually a rather cramped passage through a wall in Jerusalem. Most people had to stoop to get through it and a camel would have to be dragged kicking and screaming on its belly (and woe betide the idiot trying to do it). That camel, I feel, is an apt description of how our two parties and the system that supports them need to be treated.
