When NRA's "beloved" 'Wayne La Pierre openly stated that, "8 Years of a demographically symbolic presidency is Enough," my dog began howling since his ears were obviously hurting.....
I know that many right wingers on this forum go ballistic when any of us on the left label some republican comments as being rooted in racism, but I would like for one, just ONE right winger on here admit that slimy LaPierre is indeed catering to the closeted racists among his gun-toting base.
The same way someone's race shouldn't affect their leadership and management in govt, why can't someone's racism or phobic biases be what they are, and not have to affect the policies made through that office.
Shouldn't laws be based on Constitutional principles and agreement anyway?
Ideally, it should make a difference what biases someone has personally, whether you like your humor or your coffee light or dark, public policy should reflect the consent of the people. It shouldn't have to rely on the agenda or biases of the people in office.
Math answers don't change just because the professor of a class or author of a book is rightwing, leftwing, gay, straight or whatever. Why can't we hold officials to standards based on what represents the people, not on the politics that got them into office.
