Republicans are not like you and I, they don’t love America for what it is, they only love America for what it was.
Perhaps the biggest political advantage the Left enjoys, especially with the advent of cell phones and social media, is that they can say what they actually believe both privately and publicly while the Right has to always be careful to not confuse the two.
So what happens to Republicans after they get caught with their feet in their mouth and disappear? In one month we have had two major players fall. They must reappear somewhere? Keep a lookout for Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani on the air with Glenn Beck and Alex Jones and perhaps doing columns for WND and WESTERNJOURNAL.
What Republicans complain The Liberal Media, aka the Mainstream Media – which includes the NYTs, WAPO, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and now Social Media which has no hierarchy – is not fair and balanced. Like Fox News is.
Anything that lacks a conservative spin they define as having a liberal bias. From Mitt Romney’s 47% to Rudy Giuliani’s President Obama doesn’t love you, they blame the Lamestream Media for their woes rather than their words and policies.
Of course blaming the messenger has been a poor excuse going back to the time Urg complained that the rumor spread by UT-UT that Urg was putting rocks in his club to better knock out women for sex was unfair because he added the rocks to his club in the privacy of his own cave.
You see? Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani were both in their own cave when they said the things they always say among themselves privately. Their privacy was invaded! So it is unfair to be held to any of it! We must ignore it! You know, like conservative law and order wonks do with the exclusionary rule of the 4th Amendment, NOT.
The Republican Party lives in two worlds, their private world of expressing their intolerance, bigotry, racism and that callous disregard for those outside the white, and their public world of having to keep it under wraps or at the very least semantically covered by top down directives and silly cliches.
It is especially hard for the GOP to get their Republican Base under control, especially their Southern flank in these matters. Where I live cars are lined up all around the Chick Fil A, no room to park at the Cracker Barrel or at Hobby Lobby, while hundreds of women with grits on their breath bunch up around the doors of any new venue Paula Deen opens in Atlanta.
What so many Americans miss is that down here most intolerance, homophobia, bigotry and racism are things that the majority of white people are proud of. It is part of their heritage, it is what they teach their children while doing their best to not let it leak out of the trailer park. And more seriously, it is what Home Schooling and Vouchers are ALL about.
