Please do not think I am a racist when I say that every person in that video is actually afraid of black and brown and Latino America. They want an America that is white and religious and static and very, very fifties. An America where they get to keep all the stuff while the other folks work in their little ghettos. Their beliefs go beyond isolationist into something surrealy un-American, actually.
How frightening- for me and my family and others who look like us.
The Republican Party has become a dinosaur, as surely as the world continues to turn.
Weird.
Tom Ridge, who I saw the other evening sounding jovial and conciliatory, and his moderate Republican base are in serious trouble.
THey had an opportunity to transform the party, and I think Ridge sorta tried, but the insularity is so great that without a transformative candidate they had no chance. And then their guy chose Palin.
So, they sink.
Good riddance.
