Republicans: A Party Dedicated to The Preservation of Prejudices
One week it's Racism, the next week it's sexism, the next week it's homophobia.

Hate the poor, blame the immigrants.

Some might see this as being on the wrong side of history. And decency. But to Republicans this is nothing more than preserving the traditional American prejudices.

Reagan's true legacy
He gave people the right to feel ok to be a bigot. Remember the start of his campaign in Mississippi and the welfare queen stories. His true colors.

1. Sometime they're able to combine more than one
as in homophobic sexism, etc. A truly amazing feat.

2. Hey, give them a break -- the GOP isn't just for the preservation of prejudices.
No, they're perfectly happy to create new ones. ;-)
