It seems that the fact that Racism and Republican both begin with the letter "R" is no coincidence in today's America. It certainly hasn't been that way in the past, but it DOES seem like there is a definite link now. WHY? How did the Party of Lincoln become the party that trades on fear and racism? They claim that they are the only REAL patriots, but support candidates who are racist -- something that isn't patriotic at all. WHY?
I am now changing my party affiliation and will support candidates that don't spew hate and invectives. My parents were immigrants and I am technically a Birthright Citizen. Because of that, I can no longer stay a member of a political party that doesn't want people like me.
