The only thing that the rats have is the race card. Trump has eliminated Social Security from the discussion by saying that he will reinforce both Medicare and SS agreeing to stay within the framework of both programs. By hitting the unfair trade practices hard, Donald has neutered a huge block of union workers. Polls show that he has a commanding lead with blue collar white workers. Not since the Great Gipper nary a republican has done much with this important voting category. With his stance on American imperialism in the Middle East, Trump once again has out maneuvered the democrats by properly reading the sentiment of the Country. His “America first” stance may not win over a gay lib school teacher that yearns for a sex change, but just ask folks that are sick and tired of Obama apologizing to the world.

So the rat party is left with only one winning strategy and that is RACE. The establishment fears that they will be cut off from the gravy train so it is no surprise to see them sabotaging Trump at every turn. Most voters see through this and the Romneys out there are just making fools of themselves.

Trump’s remark wasn’t racist; he was accusing the judge of racism.

I have to say, though, that Trump’s supporters do a better job of defending and explaining his remarks than he does.

I never tire of reminding people that DNC is the party of the race-obsessed. They see everything in terms of race. Furthermore, they don’t believe it is possible to not see everything in terms of race.

Conservatives, by and large, do not think in those terms.

But race in the current era is being used in a very cynical way as a way of driving ideological wedges between people. The trick is to associate Judeo-Christian culture and classic liberal governance with skin color; you can then convince people that out of ethnic loyalty they must dismiss it out of hand.

So the DNC’s race obsession has a strategic purpose beyond whatever toxic psychology lies at the root of it. They will use race as a means of shutting down the most basic philosophical discussions. And it has a secondary effect on at least some people; accused of racism, some Repubs find themselves back-pedaling, trying to justify themselves, rather than doubling down on the more important philosophical message.

The focus on race has another effect. Success and failure in life are in almost direct proportion to the values that you live by. Attributing it to race leaves people trapped with no road-map up and out. Virtue is not dependent on skin color and your skin color doesn’t relieve you of the need to live a virtuous life. Most political theorists are trying to find a theory of governance that doesn’t require people to be moral. The DNC offers itself and its agenda as the means to redemption, and too many people fall for it out of group loyalty and moral laziness.

Depends on the definition of racist. For many people it means “someone I disagree with on an issue that I can twist or ignore logic to assume that it somehow affect a minority different than a white male”.

You’re a racist if you disagree with Obama’s economic policies (because he’s black).

You’re a racist if you disagree with Warren’s economic policies (because they help blacks)

You’re a racist if you don’t want unvetted Muslims to enter our country (because “like Muslims are a race or something and I’m voting Bernie”)

You’re not a racist if you will only vote for the black candidate (because slavery)

You’re not a racist if you will only hire black applicants (because “systemic racism is worse than lynchings”)

No, he isnt. But I hope in the future he doesn’t give them such easy targets to paint him as such. Because in the end, what we say or think here matters very little, its was the idiots out there can be convinced of.

The only true white humans on this planet are albinos. The rest of us are all one shade or another of brown...from light tan to almost black. There is no absolute black in nature. There are no black people. Some folks need to get over themselves.

I could care less if Trump is a racist as long as he favors non-africans. He is so far above the Clinton and Obama Crime families, nothing else really matters. I just want somebody who will represent the taxpaying public and disregard the most favored race-hustler (BO) of the day.
