THE AMERICAN POLITICAL RIGHT LOST THE MORAL ARGUMENTS BECAUSE OF RACISM AND EXTREMISM.

There are two dia­met­ri­cal­ly oppos­ing view-points in America. Conservatism and Liberalism. These two defin­ing char­ac­ter­is­tics have divid­ed the coun­try straight down the mid­dle., About a 45 to 47% on either side with a sliv­er of vot­ers in the mid­dle who decide nation­al elections.

There are also a num­ber of issues which sep­a­rates the two Political ideologies.

On issue after issue the Republican Party have legit­i­mate pol­i­cy pro­pos­als. Yet the par­ty has buried it’s head in the sand, total­ly obliv­i­ous to con­se­quences of it’s racist and destruc­tive behav­ior. Enacting laws which makes it hard­er for cer­tain Americans to vote has the oppo­site effect of pre­vent­ing peo­ple from vot­ing. It makes them angry, it makes them vote. Even after the last nation­al elec­tion was called for the Democrats, Florida vot­ers remained in line so they could deliv­er the state to Barack Obama. What part of that does Republican Governors and Legislators not get.

Current Data shows that less than one hun­dredth of one per­cent of all votes cast in America are fraud­u­lent. The issue of Voter ID is a man­u­fac­tured solu­tion to a phan­tom prob­lem. As I write this Article today, the Governor of North Carolina just signed into law sweep­ing new vot­er sup­pres­sion measures.

Republican NC Governor Gov. Pat McCrory  http://​www​.wash​ing​ton​times​.com/​t​o​p​i​c​s​/​p​a​t​-​m​c​c​r​o​ry/.Quote:“I am proud to sign this leg­is­la­tion into law, “Common prac­tices like board­ing an air­plane and pur­chas­ing Sudafed require pho­to ID and we should expect noth­ing less for the pro­tec­tion of our right to vote.”

But is that the rea­son Republican Legislators and Governors are mov­ing to enact regres­sive and restric­tive vot­er ID laws before the upcom­ing 2014 and 2016 Elections?

Americans , irre­spec­tive of par­ty affil­i­a­tion should be extreme­ly afraid of these guys. This idea of rig­ging the sys­tem to ensure a par­tic­u­lar result is not Democracy.Those on the right and the left who val­ue and talk about democ­ra­cy should be extreme­ly scared of this bla­tant­ly-overt, anti-American practice.

The ideas of low tax­es. Small gov­ern­ment. Strong nation­al defense. Free-mar­ket cap­i­tal­ism. Belief in God and coun­try, through a strong fam­i­ly, encap­su­lat­ed in a mar­riage between a man and a woman were once Republican ideas. Those were the belief of Colin Powell and the likes of Jack Kemp.

The prob­lem with the repub­li­can mes­sage is, there is no mes­sage any longer. The mes­sage has been hijacked by racists zealots from the far fringe of the par­ty. In fact the far fringe is now the Republican Party.

Donal Trump and Sarah Palin:

The racist mes­sen­gers of the Republican Right has lit­er­al­ly killed any valid­i­ty the right may have had on the issues. Immigration Marriage. Entitlements. Homosexuality. The mes­sage is lost in the racist intol­er­ant rants of the mes­sen­gers. That is a tragedy for the Country. Since President Obama took Office what was once known and accept­ed as mar­riage, one man, one woman has now been turned on it’s head. The fun­da­men­tal phi­los­o­phy that Marriage is a sacro­sanct Covenant between a male and a female, which was cre­at­ed by God is done. The President’s sup­port for it was wrong I believe. Obama did not sup­port Homosexual unions because he is a black man. He did so because he is the pres­i­dent. The Political Right gave away the issue and many more by attack­ing the pres­i­den­t’s geneal­o­gy. That strat­e­gy chased away more than it attract­ed. I am one of those opposed to homo­sex­u­al mar­riages, yet vehe­ment­ly opposed to Republican racist atti­tudes toward the President.

Message to Republicans. Denying the vote, is not a legit­i­mate strat­e­gy. Intolerance of oth­ers , despi­ca­ble racist rhetoric is not going to change cur­rent demo­graph­ic trends. Unless you engage, under­stand, and coöper­ate with oth­ers , your par­ty will be rel­e­gat­ed to the regions below the Mason-Dixon line. And that is not a good thing for nei­ther you nor America.

One thought on “THE AMERICAN POLITICAL RIGHT LOST THE MORAL ARGUMENTS BECAUSE OF RACISM AND EXTREMISM.

  1. Mike, Interesting views . I guess the GOP has not been learn­ing from its mis­takes . Engaging tac­tics to sup­press minor­i­ty votes will have damn­ing effect . Perhaps they might be mis­tak­ing the present era for that of the peri­od where minori­ties had lit­tle or no voice and were igno­rant to the process . If the GOP have not realised it as yet , per­haps some­one should remind them that minori­ties played a tremen­dous role in the last pres­i­den­tial elec­tions , indi­ca­tions are it will get much worst as the grow­ing pop­u­la­tion of Latino seek rel­e­vance in a soci­ety that is vast­ly dom­i­nat­ed by whites .
