I would like to say that this implosion will be good for the party, and good for real conservatives and good for the nation. And it might. Or it may be a lurch into the rank nativism that is gaining strength in Europe.

A Handy Glossary to Unpack the Meaning Of the Above

"Racist: a person who is winning an argument with a liberal."

Hence, any intelligent Conservative, who is still willing to talk to one.

I have lately been pointing out, how the Left has employed the most obvious "bait & switch" tactic, with respect to the use of the term "racist." It started out, being applied not to people who wanted to preserve their heritage, but to those who did nasty, cruel or mean-spirited things to others, solely based on their race. Naturally, most people accepted that usage as a legitimate term of opprobrium.

But then the morphing started, and rapidly accelerated. Today, it is being systematically applied to anyone who honors his lineage, his kith & kin, and their struggles and achievements through many, purpose driven generations. In short, it has become a bludgeon against actual virtue, against people who honor the Fifth Commandment--and understand its functional purpose, in the upward pursuits of decent people.
