They are not conservatives anymore, or even Republicans as we once knew them. I have friends and family that in their heart are good caring people, yet they allow them selves to be brainwashed into Fox "group" think, and to think the only truly opposed people in this country is the rich white male, even the women among them.

They decry playing the victim card when they are playing it themselves. Some are truly offended when you call their behavior racist, bigoted, or sexist, but have no qualms about acting in a bigoted, sexist, racist manner.

I am in the freaking International Social Science Honor Society for Pete's sake and I still can't understand this type of disconnect.

What ever happened to critical thinking? What ever happened to the common sense reasoning of cause and effect?
