  • What I like about this whole scare regime is the circular logic of why all the different groups should be more conservative. Hispanics should vote republican because they share the conservative values of hard work and family, unlike the lazy , uncommitted blacks, the Black Community should be more conservative because they share a religious objection to homosexuality, the homosexuals should be more conservative, because the Muslims are coming to get them, and the Muslim immigrants should be more conservative because they immigrated legally, unlike all those damn hispanics pouring over the border. Women, of course should vote conservative to keep themselves and their families safe from poor minorities moving into their communities and school districts, and minorities should vote conservative to protect themselves from the abortion advocates who are trying to euthanize little black babies.
