Is Obama a Muslim? Birthers, bigots, and Boehner’s cowardice. – By William Saletan – Slate Magazine

Embracing bigotry to earn votes has been a Republican mantra for years. Yes, Democrats have been just as bad at it too, but ever since the Civil Rights era of the 1960s, the GOP has really been letting this go. I mean, Jesse Helms, Willie Horton ads, Trent Lott, David Duke, the state of Aryzona.

And now this whole “the President is a Kenyan, Muslin (sic) socialist” BS that the Republican leadership refuses to address, much less correct.

So, the party that demands to tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies, that aired an ad the last election telling Latinos NOT to vote, that insists gay shouldn’t have the right to legally declare their love…they have a problem addressing racists?

Get real. You do it because a part of you believes that crap, or just hate that the President is a black man.

Texas, U.S. Must Adjust To New Latino Majority

Cracker White Texas is turning Tortilla Brown. There is no way around this. The numbers do not lie. It should be an interesting – and potentially violent and repressive – change in the coming years. Racist Aryzona is already starting the reactionary showdown.

The GOP really needs to address their racist policies and supporters head on lest they become a permanent pariah party. Granted, they’ve been bigots for so long, there really isn’t a damn thing they can do to earn *my* vote, but for the good of the country we need more sane, rational, and respectful voices in our public discourse and, currently, they aren’t doing a damn bit of any of that. The racial-tinged hatred isn’t helping either.

Background checks are latest gun rights battleground | Minnesota Public Radio News

To date, the Republican takeover of the legislature here in Minnesota has resulted in two trends.

One, they want to enforce ID checks before people can cast a ballot. This, of course, ties in with a long-standing conservative tradition of making it harder for students, the poor, elderly, and minorities – especially recent immigrants – to vote. In short, it is anti-democratic. Which is fine, because Republicans do not believe America is a democracy. Seriously, just ask them.

The other trend since the election has been to take away any regulations that might save lives. The latest move is to do away with background checks prior to purchasing a firearm.

Voting? ID checks similar to an East German border crossing are the model for the GOP.

Buying a shopping cart full of guns? No ID required.

Priorities. Pay attention to what the politicians are telling you.

Census estimates show big gains for U.S. minorities – USATODAY.com

Minorities are making big numeric gains across the US. This might explain why even progressive states like Minnesota have suddenly turned into racist, gun-toting people scared of their own shadows.

Look, the US is going to be less white no matter what happens. If Caucasians don’t want to sow any more ill will against populations who already have legitimate grudges, this might be the time to be less vindictive and violent; not more.

FBI: MLK Day Parade Bomb Is ‘Domestic Terrorism’

Someone put a bomb in Spokane, Washington but you haven’t heard about it. It was set to kill the marchers in an MLK Day parade.

The FBI is calling it an act of domestic terrorism but you still haven’t heard about it.

Spokane has a history of White Supremacist activity, and Rachel Maddow goes into it (and wonders who no one is talking about this).

According to this report, the FBI thinks it IS tied to a white power hate group.

Some more on this.

White Racists trying to blow up a Unity March. You’ll never hear a word of this on FAUXNews.
