I read a joke somewhere, it may have been on this board, that there must be a teenage girl under the flag. Sick, but still lol.
I think RJ said that...

holy crap...that Lee atwater interview! Never heard that before, but yes, that is the the republican party in a nutshell post civil rights era. Party of Lincoln my ass. Its the party of racists who only care about white people. Its been that way for years and Trump has only blown the roof off the the racist foundation.
Are you talking about his apologies to Dukakis for the Willie Horton ad?
I remember hearing about him back in the 80s as a kid. I didn't realize how young he was when he died (everybody in politics was old to a kid in the 80s). No doubt Atwater would be an elder statesman in the GOP if he was alive today. He'd only be 67.
The tension in the House was on full display Wednesday night when Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) passionately argued on the House floor over the final versions of two immigration bills that lawmakers will vote on Thursday. Meadows was upset over some last-minute changes to the so-called compromise bill, as well as over which version of the more conservative measure, written by Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), will get a vote.
Most conservatives wanted to vote on a modified version of the Goodlatte bill, hoping for as much GOP support as possible, but the Republican leadership decided to put forward the original version of the Goodlatte bill. That move has some Republicans claiming the House leadership is trying to sabotage the more conservative measure by putting up a less palatable version.
What’s nuts is that is how the right feels about liberals. They think they’re the victims.
Evangelicals think they were under siege like the Jews but Trump is their savior.
I get the blowback over political correctness and being put off by how dogmatically outraged many on the left can get these days at the slightest offenses, er microaggressions. Many comics have complained about the same thing - folks like Seinfeld and Rock refuse to play college campuses as a result. But yeah, I'm completely lost as to how the right view themselves as victims here.
Because their news outlets scare the hell out of them with inflammatory headlines about how MS-13 is going to murder your whole family and how God is dead.
Don’t be or work for a piece of shit human and you won’t encounter these problems.
