Guns, abortion, immigration what binds these hot button issues together in the Republican mind? Well, white supremacy, obviously.
I say obviously because there was a long period when I thought the defense of whiteness at societys center, which is clear when you bother looking, couldnt be right. It was just too simple.
But then I learned, thanks to effort, study and the influence of people who knew better, that white supremacy is no simple thing at all. It cant be, as its the principle organizing the whole of our society.
Guns
Americas first Black president was reelected more than a month before the Sandy Hook massacre during which 20 first-grade kids were shot to pieces down the road from where I live in New Haven.
The Republicans had a choice to make. They could turn away from a seditionary interpretation of the Second Amendment and toward good and sensible gun legislation to prevent other kids dying in cold blood.

When the DOJ doesn't address their crimes you can't blame them for knowing they're above the law.

It's been a hate group going at least as far back as Noot's Contract ON America... Possibly further back than that. But the mask came off in 1994, and it's only gotten worse since then.

They have no good plans to help Americas problems. They want to rape the country of anything that could give them more money and power.

rather should be labeled a criminal terrorist operation with the cloak of a political party.
