Devolution 4

From the “Party of Lincoln” to the “Party of Nathan Bedford Forrest.”

They aren’t even trying to hide the racism any more.

Chancey Devega comments (follow the link for the rest of his ascerbic, but quite trenchant comments):

Why does the Tea Party GOP consistently fail in its efforts to reform their racist habits and bad ways? The answer is not complicated. White racism and contemporary conservatism are intertwined in the Age of Obama and the post-civil rights era. Asking the Tea Party GOP to publicly disavow the white racists in its midst, and to sever all ties with racist conservatives (white, black, and Other), would be like amputating your foot with a spoon coated in wasabi and without either anesthesia or a tourniquet. It ain’t gonna happen. Such willpower is beyond the reach of most mortals.

Stay Classy, Republicans 0

They aren’t even trying to hide the racism any more.

Rep. Kris Crawford, a Republican from Florence (South Carolina, home of my grandmother–ed.) and also an emergency room doctor, supports the (Medicaid–ed.) expansion but expects the Republican caucus to vote as a block against the Medicaid expansion.

“The politics are going to overwhelm the policy. It is good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House right now, especially for the Republican Party,” Crawford said.

If only the president would stop being black, poor people in South Carolina might be able to get some healthcare.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
