NCLR President: GOP Will Lose White House If Attitude On Child Refugees Continues

[SmittynMo]

The nails in/for the coffin keep accumulating. All we need now is a hammer. A BIG hammer!!!!

As I have said before, the GOP is self destructing on a daily basis. And the link below is more proof. I can't wait to see this party go down in flames on election day.

1. Good read

"every one of the elected officials I just quoted consider themselves people of faith"

Therein lies the rub. The biggest carnival barkers are the one's doing the bidding from a vantage point Jesus would likely question (to not put it in harsher terms).

Most of these people (Perry and others) are religious prostitutes, charlatans and the sooner these types are marginalized and given diminished power then the adults can get back to running this nation.

2. The political body which absorbed the Confederates was always doomed to extinction

Democrats may be weak but Republicans will be extinct because they didn't let the legacy of the Confederacy die its intended death.
They propped up these spiteful sore losers in the 1960s & gave them a body to organize their White Dominion exercises under.
We have been paying for it ever since.

But with the rise of Obama a signal has been shown that one era is closing & another is beginning.
The Republican Party masterminds see the writing on the wall: They can't go much further with these Confederates.
But they also realize that trapped themselves into a situation where they can't do without them (voting numbers).
A bitter aging White Supremacist demographic (& their useful tokens) won't have much future growth.
They have to reach out to other groups even if superficially.
But those White Dominion exercises have been practiced endlessly since birth by these Confederates.
They can't HELP but to rage out against Native American Mestizos. It's Pavlov at this point.

People are slow on the pickup sometimes but when you see swarms & swarms of Confederate people hatefully lashing out against refugees of the bronze & brown color variety, you know that's not the team you wanna be a part of.
ESPECIALLY if you're of the bronze & brown color yourself.
These reflex Confederate actions TORPEDO that sought-after "Latino outreach".
You don't see these guys worrying about Canadians crossing all willy-nilly on the northern Canadian border, right?

If the Democrats weren't so coddling & weak, this process could be sped up further.
Nevertheless it is inevitable that the Republican Party will die its demographic death by its inclusion of the Confederates into its political body.
So ironic especially when one of most hated persons of the Confederacy, Abraham Lincoln, was the very first Republican President.
They will lose because they are wrong.
Bit by bit White Dominion will be put into the graveyard with other failed ideologies.
This place has never quite lived up to its name but the time is coming when E Pluribus Unum (Out Of Many One) AKA Diversity will be the rule of the U.S.A.

It's an inevitable tide & the political body absorbing a Confederacy that resists that tide would always be doomed to extinction.

3. I can't help but think the wide visibility given to Tea Party types has been a good thing.

Our local paper (Syracuse Post Standard) did a story on the small (less than 50, maybe less than 30) group that came out to protect the proposed use of an old Franciscan mother house as a temporary shelter. Several people were interviewed, each spewing their garbage about how the kids are a diseased swarm. There have also been several letters to the editor with the same garbage. This is in a city which prides itself on having taken in some of the Lost Boys of Sudan. A recent article on page 2 contrasted the Tea Party demonstartion with a program just ending that for 35 years brought children (Catholic and Protestant) to Syracuse from Belfast each summer to give them a break from the fighting.

The more visible the Tea Party, the more people it will disgust. Unless the Republican Party separates itself right now, it's going down with the Tea Party.

4. Perhaps, we (Democrats and the left, in general) ...

place more importance on 2016 than, all but those few 2016 aspirants, do.

Think about it ... The ruling ethos in the business sector for the past 30+ years has been, "get what I can, for me, TODAY; because I'll be gone before the fall-out lands." Why wouldn't that ethos extend into the home of the conservative "movement", the republican party?

This ethos, if applied to the vast majority of republicans (non-2016 aspirants) explains republican conduct ... they don't care what happens in 2016, as the presidency is not their aim; they are far more focused on their individual congressional races. How would caring about who get the presidency in 2016, benefit them in their 2014 races. They won't care about 2016, until the 2016 cycle begins, because then it will benefit them.

5. All the GOP needs to win are secret vote "counting" boxes, and someone with an agenda.
