With Republicans having proved their complete incompetence at governing the United States, and with no record to run on but fear, the 2006 mid-term elections are already making this the “Year of the Racist Republican.”
Several
nationwide republicans, including Virginia, Florida, Tennessee, Utah,
Montana and North Carolina, are running openly racist campaigns.
It’s no accident and is a deliberate nationwide strategy meant to appeal to conservatives.
It is meant to change the focus from their record of failure and corruption to their ability to scare the pants off of voters.
Our own congresswoman, Virginia Foxx (NC-5), is the closest example of
a conservative republican relying on nothing but her unashamed racism
in order to appeal to the people of our district.
Last month, Foxx was one of a handful of congress-critters to vote
against renewing the 1965 Voting Rights Act, according to the Library
of Congress Web site.
The act, a seminal act of congress and triumphant legacy of the civil
rights movement, protects Americans’ ability to vote regardless of
race, class, color or creed.
Foxx said she based her decision to vote against the act on a lingering discrimination against southern whites.
Secondly, Foxx was just one of 11 members of congress (all Republicans)
to vote against sending aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina, according
to ncdp.org.
She then lied about “accountability provisions,” as her reason for voting against sending aid.
Instead, she offered to “pray” for the victims.
However, she’d already voted for a tinier aid package with far fewer accountability provisions.
Likewise, Foxx has had no problem voting for every other Republican pork barrel debt-spending project.
She lied, and people died, suffered and continue to suffer because of her refusal to help afflicted minorities.
Thirdly, Foxx held a hearing earlier this year in Winston-Salem on undocumented Hispanics in America.
Foxx called the hearing on Hispanic workers “Gangs, Fraud and Sexual
Predators: Struggling with the Consequences of Illegal Immigration,”
according to journalnow.com.
Are Hispanic people sexual predators out to ravage all the white women?
Hmmm…seems like we’ve heard that one before.
If she votes like a racist…
If she refuses to guarantee African-Americans and Hispanics basic
voting rights in the United States of America in the year 2006…
If she justifies her vote by blaming it on prejudice against southern whites…
If she refuses to send aid to American minority populations decimated
by Hurricane Katrina while cheerleading to spend $250,000,000 a day
killing Arabs in Iraq…
If she calls Americans of Hispanic descent “sexual predators”…
Foxx sure seems like a racist.
Psychologically, “conservatism” is a “set of neuroses rooted in fear
and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity,” according
to a 2003 study funded by the Federal government.
A student looking at today’s conservative Republican government would
be sad, but academically honest, in casting a similar diagnosis on the
modern Republican Party.
This mid-term election year, as many have noted, the GOP is betting its electoral chances on one thing – racism.
After discovering its own incompetence at governing a nation, the
Republicans are once again turning the deepest and darkest
psychological caverns of the American population by running several
federal and state campaigns based on racism, as well as issues not so
subtly rooted in racism.
Sadly, their racist rhetoric follows the Republican precedent of the last 60 years.
