There really is no possibility of the GOP becoming more racially diverse...

How should I interpret this? "... external causes like racism against minorities, leads to inequality..."
Aren't you saying that minorities (and I assume you mean all who are not caucasian) are not equal to whites?

 

Right above you said "WE will be just fine" in discussing the Republican Party.

So now you're denying you're a Republican?


But I'm happy that you are also copping to being a "Constitutional Conservative"...want to make sure that link is made. Are you also a Tea Partyer? Because a lot of Tea Party apologists claim there are NO people like you in the TP.

 

In the past I have voted for Republicans. We will have to defeat the establishment Republicans if the Republicans are to win. Yes. I am a member of my local Tea Party. Most people are Constitutional Conservatives (but not all recognize they are).

I cannot imagine any Tea Party claiming there are no members like me. We are the heart and soul of the tea party. We don't see every problem in terms of skin color. It is clear that you do. Those who see every problem in terms of race are usually racists. I believe you are. But I could be wrong.

 

And yet, when Democrats, progressives, even centrists say there are a LOT of guys like you in the Tea Party (and many in the GOP).....the Tea Party and Republican apologists deny it.


I for one am glad you are here to refute their denials.....as well, of course prove my OP's premise.


Sadly, as I see the GOP Establishment muzzling and leashing the Tea Party (as they did this year's primaries.....ZERO Senate primary wins for the TP)....

I also see them in the near future (no more than 10 years) making a distinct and obvious move to distance the Party from people such as yourself. A Party of Rush Limbaughs, Pat Buchanans, Sheriff Joe Arpaios, Louie Gohmerts, Steve Kings, etc. cannot survive as a national party. The White House wouldn't see a Republican President ever again.

And so, the guys who give the money to the RNC will demand changes. To get their tax cuts and de-regulation....they'll tell the GOP to kick the racists to the curb. Especially since they have moved from an electoral "plus" during the days of Nixon and Reagan and Lee Atwater.....to a "null" now with the Southern Strategy collapsing (Remember, Obama won Virginia and North Carolina in 2008.....not enough "good decent white votes" in VA or NC to stop him. So sorry. ).....

to a future where it will be a definitive negative. Romney's 27% of the Latino vote would look like a "landslide" in comparison to a GOP that keeps going the way it is.

Oh, you'll find a home.....somebody will resurrect George Wallace's "American Independent Party" or its poisonous descendent....and running on "Kick 'em all out" (to those who hate Latinos) and "gotta get tough on 'inner city thugs'" (to those who hate blacks).....and some of the anti-gay stuff and "Women should be barefoot and pregnant" crowd.......form a pitiful 3rd Party that nobody sane will want to join.

But unlike the 70s and 80s, there will be no "home" for those voters to go to. The Wallace voters went to the "new and revised" Republican Party.....but in the future, nobody serious will take them in. And they'll sit and their stew in their hatred and racism.....the few younger ones forming "militias" (meth makers imagining themselves "revolutionaries for the White Culture").....

and the older ones, the majority, sitting in their nursing homes trying not to use racial slurs around their nurses, who are minorities.

And then.....it's over.

Consider me the Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come.

 

Gatewood, I find it difficult to believe that Melissa Harris Perry hates white America when she is biracial, with a white parent. Do you think she hates her parent? If she was quoted correctly, she should have specified that she was referring to racists and instances of discrimination.

You don't get to determine how other people post. Leave that to the board moderators. Liberals and minorities vote overwhelmingly for the same Party. Anyone who believes they wouldn't by-and-large have positive exchanges on the boards, some hostile actors notwithstanding,
must be kidding themselves.

Well, I'm headed back to work now. I was out of town and busy this past weekend. Unfortunately, I don't post daily. Real life takes precedence and I lost a response that I was going to post to you on Friday.

 

Have you never noticed how "certain people" claim that if you hate racists....you "hate white people"?

And the obvious implication of what they are saying???

 

Suggest we all ignore mIsterveritis since he seems unable to document anything he says. Probably just looking for attention.

 

I always laugh out loud when I hear someone way they are constitutional conservatives. I have no idea what they mean by it nor do they. The nation is being run by the constitution just as much today as it was for the last 200 odd years since it was ratified. I think what you really want to say is that you are a conservative. That is enough detail for anyone.

 

You are confused. You see racism in places where it does not exist but fail to see your pervasive racism.

My don't you babble on.

You see only that which is easy to see. Why don't you see that which is harder to see? Relatively unknown Constitutional Conservatives competed against Senators who have been in the Senate for decades. In many cases they came close to defeating them.

 

Constitutional Conservative.

We have not followed the Constitution for decades. So it is time for a reset. The Article V Convention of States is the right way to do it. Many of us are working toward it.

Do you laugh out loud to hide your embarrassment?

I can certainly recommend you and Glock do so. But you cannot hide who you are. It is just a matter of time before your racism spills back out into a future post.

 

Although deterioration of a Constitutional Government began in the late 19th Century, with the formation of "Progressivism", which is incremental change in social reform, basically defined today as liberalism. Most people are to some degree conservative, their religious belief, certain rights and so on, but liberal in others, smoking pot, banning guns and so on....BUT the TP was and is the center of "Constitutional Conservative ism, today.

 

The abuse and ridicule I've received from you on my posts makes it very painful for me to agree with you on this subject, The vast majority of the GOP is racist and do nothing more than to occasionally pay lip service to the minorities. They had about 1% minority participation at their last convention and it was hilarious to watch the media trying to find a person of color at the convention, when they did that person got ,well lets say, got an inordinate amount of camera time. I've been a YELLOW DOG DEMOCRAT most of my life, but that being said, I'm seriously
considering voting Republican this time for two main reasons. They are GAYS AND GUNS. Let me explain, I believe gay people deserve all the rights everyone has in this country,but what I'm violently opposed to is the gargantuan effort in this country to insert gay ideology and behavior into every facet of our existence trying to make it seem like it is a perfectly normal alternative lifestyle when it only represents 2-5%
of the population. For crying out loud ,they're going to make Daryl gay on The Walking Dead. By inserting these ideas and images into almost
every form of entertainment they are influencing young people who are already confused about life in general,but that is their goal since they can't reproduce them selves they have to turn young people early to replace their numbers as they die off from AIDS. This issue is one main reason I will be voting Republican for the first time in my life The other reason is the democrats concerted effort to take our guns away . Whether you agree with the facts of Sandy Hook or not ,it doesn't matter, it is undeniable that it and other events like it are being used as an excuse to institute Gun Control Legislation. I won't get in to all those reasons it's not needed, but what I have stated is fact.So if your your a die hard gun loving Democrat maybe these are things that concern you too and maybe it's time to vote Republican.

 

How about it people any opinions on my post #262

 

Textual interpretation...pure malarkey. I tell you what, tell me which version of the constitution is the real one. First, the one that George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and John Adam thought they created and secondly, the one Madison and Jefferson thought they created. Then explain John Marshall, Andrew Jackson, Tanney, Lincoln and the rest of our history in your "textual" terms. Like I said, it is always a hoot hearing people talk about the constitution as if they know the "truth". Reminds me of religion, lots of factions looking at the same text arguing about this or that each taking the position that they alone know what the "text" means.

 

I reject your sources.

wiki and govt stats....iffy
