The GOP idiot did not realize that he was hurting his own position

And he was still oblivious to the implications of his own words. What a poster boy for the opposition.

This idiot was so clueless that he did not realize that he was hurting his position

And, it is going to help win elections for a decade or two

Perhaps just a touch more racist and a smidge less self-aware, but typical none the less. The first thing they will assure you is that they are not racists. Definitely not. No way. Rather, they insist that they are realists and conservative free thinkers who refuse to kowtow to the language of political correctness. Some of this is no doubt a little true, they aren't racists in the hate filled violent sense, they aren't about to unleash attack dogs on black children or burn a cross on a black families lawn, nor would they turn a black customer away from their business -- even if the law allowed it, which they secretly (or openly) wish it did.

But racists? definitely not. They don't hate black people. They are friends with some black people, they work with them, and respect some of them. They're realists, not racists, they just wish black people weren't so black. Not their black friends, or not really, but the other blacks, the ones who are lying and lazy and always stealing things. And -- they are quick to state -- it should be okay to call a black person a nigger. Using a word like that isn't disrespectful -- black people use it themselves. Their momma was best friends with a black woman and she called her a nigger to her face until the day she died. That's not racist, they insist, it's just a word.

And, they might ask, what right does anyone have to control the words we use anyway? This is America, we have the first amendment, and if they want to call a nigger a nigger that's their right. And they should be able to tell a nigger to get out of their store if they want to. What right does the government have to tell them that they have to serve him?

And so it goes. If you live down here in the south you know exactly what I am talking about. Go up to anyone over the age of sixty and talk to them about it. Odds are fairly good you'll hear a conversation much like the one I described above. I've had that same discussion in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, and have no doubt I could have it in any southern state.

BUT....

That's all changing. Younger people just don't care about that shit anymore. Not like their parents and grandparents. They don't hate black people or Hispanics or Indians, Church is just a place you go to network, and while they call themselves Christians they don't really believe any of that shit (and they damn sure don't want their laws based on that insanity). They would legalize drugs if they could, and they don't really hate or fear gays. That last is interesting so I will go into more depth...

My business is someone unusual. We travel all over Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri, and soon Florida to various festivals and fairs. Like a carnival, but we are unaffiliated with any show and travel our own route. We do this full time, most of the year, and we travel a lot. We offer high end fantasy makeup, face painting, and temporary tattoos.

Often, we offer parents their first glimpse that their young boy or girl might be a bit gender "confused." It happens every weekend. Some rough tough redneck or cowboy dad will be standing there as his young boy tells him that what he really wants to be is a pretty butterfly or pink kitty, or some little girl doesn't want to be a princess she wants to be Spiderman or a Zombie.

Six years ago, when we first started doing this full time, the parents were almost universally embarrassed and horrified. The look on their faces would have been appropriate to watching their child curb-stomp a kitten. It was so bad we had to actually assure parents that it didn't mean anything, that it was okay, and lots of little boys and girls do that -- it was either reassure them or watch them freak the fuck out. But today, only six years later?

There's still a bit of that, but we are just as likely to see that tough cowboy dad in his boots and hat and giant belt buckle telling his son it's okay to be anything he wants. If his boy wants to be a butterfly, that's fine with him. I'm talking tiny little backwater towns where every other billboard has the word Jesus on it and the DNC doesn't even bother setting up a booth.

The magnitude and speed of this change is simply staggering, and it tells me all I need to know about the direction this country is heading.

Clowns like the guy in this video are the PAST. They are angry dinosaurs heading for extinction, and they KNOW it. That's a good part of the reason they are so fanatical now. It's now or never for them, and they know that too. But our nation has heard their message, we see through their bullshit, and we reject it. Quietly, or kicking and screaming, it's time for them to go into the night.
