Republicans are coding a stronger racist manifesto

Holy crap is it my imagination or have the architects of Republican rhetoric gotten decidedly braver in their codification of racism?

From Charles Murray American Enterprise Institute:

... Unemployment in the underclass is not caused by lack of jobs or of job skills, but by the inability to get up every morning and go to work ...

... looters and thugs ...

... inert women doing nothing to help themselves or their children...

... The lack of home ownership is ... because the concept of thrift is alien ...

Key: you can bash the "underclass" and don't say "race" Go ahead and cite statistics later on about black illegitimacy, just to make sure your reader knows who you're really talking about.

From Ward Connerly National Review:

First,we must abandon fruitless "outreach" efforts to "the black community,"

The charge of "racism" in responding to Katrina is what identity politics has wrought.

On the other hand, if tough love is shown and blacks are accorded the full and complete status of American citizenship with all of the attendant obligations and expectations that accompany that status, instead of being treated as recent graduates of slavery...

Key: Don't say "Compassionate Conservativism" any more. Call it "tough love".

Thank heaven the days of political correctness are over and these great thinkers of conservativism are free to speak their mind.

every aryan nation website says the same thing the only difference between the respected sites and the nations is that the nations don`t hide behind the niceties of the english language.

get into the American job market and stay there seldom remain poor unless they do something self-destructive."

That's a conclusion which should be easy to refute as a "statistical reality" if studies are available.

and the masks are slipping

If an African American (or any other minority for that matter) votes for these fuckers, there is this about chickens and colonel Sanders... and it applies

who consistently puts forth pseudo-scholarly bullshit like his infamous book The Bell Curve. Incarceration rates are up entirely due to the war on drugs and indicate different definitions of criminality, not any real increase in it.

Ward Connerly has always struck me as someone who is tired of being Black and expresses it very strange and destructive ways. Anyone who advocates blindess and unconsciousness as responsible standpoints for policy making has serious problems.

is ever more brazenly exchanging the velvet slippers of "compassionate conservatism" for the hobnailed jackboots of overt fascism. The genocidal aftermath of Katrina, Barbara Bush's let-them-eat-cake comment about how the victims are better off for their victimization, Bennett's call for the forcible prevention of black births, now this -- all of it indications Bush is rallying his hard-core supporters (the corporate fat-cats and their Ku-Kluxed JesuNazi storm troopers) for a final showdown: permanent repeal of constitutional guarantees, reorganization of the United States as the theocratic successor to the Third Reich (we already have the proper military-helmet profile).

Add all this to the fact Bush and his henchmen make it ever more obvious they don't give a damn how far they (and their fascist allies throughout the Republican Party) decline in the polls, and what you get is truly terrifying: the increasingly reasonable suspicion Bush doesn't care about the public's growing hostility simply because he intends to prohibit its expression -- cancellation of the 2006 and 2008 elections. No other scenario so fully explains Bush's escalating defiance.

In fact the only question in my mind is not if but when and behind what rationale: another attack by Jihadists? Asian bird flu? war on Iran or North Korea? a newly revitalized Democratic Party as a hotbed of treason? How long will it be before the American Left awakens to the fact Bush is NOT the bungling moron of self-comforting, head-in-the-sand myth but rather the most cunning tyrant in U.S. history.
