That was Tom Trancedo. It's little gems like that that remind me that this is:
The party where individuals define themselves as "white," Christian, controlling, separatist, and supremacist.
If we understand that (and I'm finally accepting the reality of it--and believe me--that's personal), then we understand everything about most Republicans today.
The supremacist label doesn't just mean "white" supremacist, it means that having more money is better than, having children is better than, being straight is better than, not being elderly is better than, believing in God is better than, being American is better than, being Republican is better than. Not one single thing I just described makes anyone better than anyone else.
That's the beginning and the end of the entrenched difference between the parties.
(okay, Democrats get the rub for thinking that education is better than, but that one's hard to argue against, although there are different kinds of intelligence and talents, but even so we advocate GREAT education for everyone, not just us).

I'm going to have to register some hesitation on Tom-Tom. Apart from ALL of the things he comes up with, I have to give him some props for thinking for himself and speaking his mind. As someone who does his own thinking, he stands out from the GOP-Robots. I'll have to do a little more research on him maybe.
