I would imagine if there was something called a "bigotry index" then the republicans would score higher than the democrats.
Yet America has bent over backwards to allow immigration. The majority of the people in this country are only a couple generations descended from immigrants. Including members of congress.
So I think we indeed have demonstrated in the past the willingness and ability to do things in a fair and just manner.
So it seems the issue no longer is immigration. It's that if you don't agree with someone elses "anything goes" attitude, you are automatically branded a KKK member.
The "racist" mantra has lost almost all credibility.
The meaninging of it has been watered down, and sure if a person considers border control to be racist then republicans would be guilty as charged. I think it's ridiculous but the democrats have used it as an effective tool. Look at Howard Dean. There was also a lady debating Laura Ingraham on last night saying the democrat party has always had the best interests of black people. Oh really? LOL At least I know different! I just don't get why a lot of people still believe them. Actually I do. People like to get something for nothing. The democrats are good at that.
