(27,461 posts)the GOP's only hope going forward is to confront the racism in their party, but Prager's whole shtick is to angrily deny any suggesting that racism exists.

(1,594 posts)Prager was beating his chest, saying that republicans are far more likely to have the flag hanging outside their homes. Maher said, "So what?" Of course the false piety/patriotism crowd doesn't get it. They think the lapel pin means they're better...that they love their country more.

Interesting times ahead, as the proverb says.

(27,461 posts)a frequent pattern with Prager. I wish that post hadn't been hidden, by the way.

(44,397 posts)1st. What if old white male values were better than minority values? (As if he's speculating)
later - he says that he believes that older white males values are the "trinity", that without them America is ruined.
He poses the question then answers it in the affirmative.

(108,783 posts)Tracy: Well who do you think has it harder in society?
Jack: I'll tell you who has it hardest in society: white males. We make the unpopular decisions that make everyone else's lives miserable.
Kenneth: I'm a white male and I respectfully disagree.
Jack: No Kenneth you are not a white male. Your personality would paint you as an inner city Latina female.

(11,760 posts)and a rather successful one at that (I used to get a lot of GOP fund raising mail).
My Grandfathers were both solid Union Guys, steel workers, and loyal Democrats
So, all you other older white males had better share my older white guy values...here they are:
Compassion/Empathy
Education
Responsibility
Honesty
Loyalty
Frankly, your RW ilk is seriously lacking in these older white guy values.
Instead of empathy I see paranoia
Instead of Education, I see Fundamentalism
Instead of responsibility, I see blaming a host of imaginary foes
Instead of Honesty, I see Truthiness
O.K, maybe I'll give you Loyalty, but, given the divorce rate from so called red states vs. the blue states, I dunno......
In the good old days, a white male knew when he was an ignorant ass and generally kept his stupid mouth shut.........
