Why do people think conservatives are extremist bigots? Here’s the answer.

Richard Allen Smith has a fascinating post up at his place, so please run over and take a look. Here’s a teaser, but he has a lot more, and remember, these are just little snippets. You’ll have to see the entire piece to get the complete picture:

…I need only point to tonight’s GOP Presidential primary debate. Without exception, every candidate that will appear on the stage tonight has a history of extremist bigotry. Let’s take a look:

Ron Paul: “Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions… (W)e are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, it is hardly irrational.”

Newt Gingrich: “What if is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together ?”

1. All you need to do is look at the audience of their candidates. All White. There is something
extremely wrong with that, although the media won't address it or challenge it.

Conservatives do not reflect the demographics of this country and they continue to lose the majority. This is what their whole movement is about. They are panicked beyond belief.

2. Yes.
What they're scared of is America's changing demographics and the coming white minority. That is what's behind their social agendas -- for instance, anti-gay rights and anti-abortion rights. It's all about the power held by white people in this country and their desperate attempt to hold on to it.

3. And the easiest way to hold on to it
is to keep the masses divided and as poor as possible. Oh and massive dis-information campaigns, don't forget those!

5. Goes with their territory.
Long line of creating and controlling Untermenschen for their benefit and profit: Know your BFEE: Eugenics and the NAZIs - The California Connection

Power and Property.
