Log Cabin Republicans: GOP Position On Gay Marriage A Liability

9. I agree not just about minorities, but anyone who claims to care

about this country who belongs to today's Republican Party is harming this country. My point mainly is that we have to accept that those minorities who are members of the Republican Party are Republicans with all that means. To think that just because someone belongs to a minority they have better judgement has been proven wrong.

I was attempting to give them the benefit of the doubt I guess, that maybe they believed they could change the party. That's probably giving them too much credit. Clearly their minority status is trumped by selfishness, looking out for interests they obviously feel are more personally important. Every single person I have spoken to who is a Republican AND a member of some minority, explains their reasons mostly in financial terms. They want 'fiscal responsibilty' they say. So for them, it is about money. And even there they are wrong. But they do not support Social Programs eg, agreeing with Republicans 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' philosophy.

They do not identify with members of their minority groups. They identify with the oppressors. I know a lot of research has been done on this. But imo, it's pretty simple. Some people are just plain selfish, and incapable of caring about others.
