observer: look up the term “paragraph”.
If you really have such a deeply held conviction not to align yourself with the Republican Party “anytime soon”, well, let’s just say that based on your hysterical, fact-challenged and wholly unsupported little tantrum, I doubt the Party will miss your support much.
None of what you posted bears any resemblance to reality. You’ve simply rattled off a series of unsupported (and unsupportable) sweeping generalizations based on nothing more than caricatures and stereotypes you’ve heard or read about somewhere. The only thing you left out was the bit about how rural Republicans all sleep with their sisters. Don’t feel alone – I actually know a person who believes this.
- I concede that the Sharptons and Jacksons have issues.
Obama too, as his “typical white person” grandmother might have explained. And his wife as well, who by her own admission could find nothing in all of America’s history to be proud of – not Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, not the thousands of soldiers who died fighting to end slavery, not the Thirteenth Amendment, not the Fifteenth Amendment, not the American lives lost in liberating Europe from the Nazis… nothing – until her African-American husband was nominated for President.
But let’s not stop there. We have Barney Frank retreating to knee-jerk accusations of racism to defend his incompetence in the mortgage crisis scam.
We saw the same back in 2004 when OFHEO and Republicans on the GSE oversight committee – doing the job they were assigned to do – were publicly and metaphorically lynched and labeled “racists” for having the audacity to call Franklin Raines on the carpet for his idiotic policies, which were based on the financially suicidal notion that home-mortgage-backed securities were, quote, “riskless“. Democrats deemed it “racist” to point out that “affordable” mortgages and “innovative” 100% loans (!) posed a potentially lethal risk to the credit market. Of course everyone now knows who was right and who was playing the race card.
The list goes on and on.
Look at the action that had to be taken at the U. of Del. last year, where a program aimed at “re-educating” incoming students declared that “[a] racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality.” The irony here – claiming someone is automatically racist simply because they’re “of European descent” (i.e., white) – is so thick one can cut it with a dull knife, but the race-obsessed psychotics who pushed this trash simply can’t see it.
Racism in America has ALWAYS been the domain of the modern Democratic Party – since before the Civil War. Byrd? Democrat and former KKK. George Wallace? Democrat. Where do you think the segregationist “Dixiecrats” came from and who were its original members? Democrats.
Finally, it has obviously eluded you, but groupthink is at least as prevalent among those living in densely-packed urban areas, if not more.
