even our South will be dragged into it. I do think that people who wish to rule from an elite seat will always play these games but they are getting old and times will move on in a new way.

Things just move on and groups either move on with it or get put to the side line. Just look at what happened to the ruling houses of Europe to see what happens. The race card will have to be put on the side line if the GOP wants to stay in the ring. It will not be easy I am sure as many like to use it and will give in very slow on such thinking which is carried over from father to son for years.
