New Right wingers like to say blacks should vote Republican "because Civil Rights Act". Or "because Lincoln". They don't see the profound sadness of having to reach that far back to justify why blacks should vote GOP.
And then they start topics bashing gays, or calling Obama "the food stamp president", or topics saying we should ban all Muslims from America, or topics bashing Mexicans. They say self-defeating idiotic shit like blacks vote for Democrats because blacks want gifts from the government, which clearly communicates they believe blacks are lazy leeches who don't want to work. Or they say profoundly stupid things like Hitler was a left winger, as if he was all about diversity and multiculturalism and affirmative action and trade unions and loved gays and blacks and Mexicans.
The New Right is unbelievably self-unaware of what the GOP of TODAY, not the GOP of YESTERDAY, sounds like to everyone outside of their echo chamber.
If the GOP today was the party of four score and seven years ago, it would be winning majorities of minority voters. But it isn't that party any more. The New GOP is drowning in racists and bigots and retards brought over by the Southern Strategy.
The only people stupid enough to buy the bullshit the New Right is selling is the New Right. One only has to see what is right in front of one's face to know the truth about the GOP today. Just open up any topic about gays or blacks or Muslims or immigrants and you will see in flaming letters ten feet high that the GOP of today is NOTHING like the civil rights era GOP.
Conservatives are conservatives, whether they had a D after their name 60 years ago or an R after their name today. The conservatives of today are unchanged from the conservatives of 60 years ago. They believe in small government and states rights. They believe in low taxation. They are virulently anti-marxist and are strongly pro-defense. And these are all things to be extremely proud of. But they are also dragged down by evil racists and bigots in their midst, and they are doing nothing to take out that trash.
It is time to decide what is more important. Keeping around the haters, or living up to true Republican principles. The consciences of conservatives (Goldwater reference) are clearly being pricked since they constantly try to console each other with "because Civil Rights Act" and "because Lincoln".
Somewhere back in the mists of time, Republicans feel the tug of their proud history. It is far past time to reawaken and come to their senses.
If some New Right wing asshole starts bashing minorities (either directly or sideways), kick him in the teeth. So what if he starts calling you a liberal? Who gives a flying **** what a retard thinks?
