ORIGINAL: DomKen FR I see the socks have chosen irrelevancy for their party. That's too bad. For Republicans/conservatives with brains, go up thread and look at that demographic chart of the 2012 electorate. Note in particular thatthe percentage of the white vote was72%. In 2014 it will be more like 70% and in 2016 it will be under 70. With those trends how long before Texas, the state that lets your side even pretend to be relevant, is a swing state? Extremism and hate are a bad basis for a political party and having the Republican party defined by such hurts this nation. Please come back to tolerance for those who disagree with you and re-embrace belief that government should stay out of people's private affairs. Americanism, limited government, call it what you will is dying. It's the equivalent of barbarians being allowed inside the gate. Given sufficient numbers and society has no choice but to alter to its next permutation. What made America so exceptional is becoming no more, and quickly. Immigrants have no concept of why America was able to do what it did. All they know is that they want some of it. Eventually America will look more like where they came from. Even second and third generation are, for the most part, no exception. It's not in their make up. It's just the way it is. The EU is suffering similarly.
