    Are you suggesting that I'm 'emoting'?

    It is patently obvious from your responses that you have never bothered to "think through" any of those issues so draw your own conclusion.

    Its seems more 'patently obvious' that you're stuck on the idea that establishment talking points arent refutable...

    I guess we'll just have to let future readers decide which for themselves.

    Why are right wingers (who always claim to be moral Christians) so criminally corrupt?

    I don’t know. But something tells me it has something to do with believing in the tooth fairy. Trump is popular because making stuff up just seems natural to them.

    Why are Democrats so Racist?
    Recall, the Democrats were the segregationist Dixiecrats; the KKK; the Jim Crowe
    the anti-Lincoln pro-slavery, pro-lynching party. Today they are the party of divisive
    racial and PC politics dividing the country.
    If they were so successful in shifting the blame for all this onto Republicans, could
    they also be projecting their corruption onto Republicans also?

    Are black legislators more prone to corruption or is the congressional system racist?

    Which just proves democrats are more likely to try and gain power through taking republicans to court.

    You do have a pitiful handle in history. Probably matches the home schooling you got in science.,

    Racism comes in all forms. We just saw an example in this post.

    You will have to tell me where I am wrong. My understanding is that not a single
    Republican politician held slaves prior to the Civil War - it's war was against
    Southern Democrats, and its political battle was against North Democrats who
    supported the South.
    And the KKK, pro-lynching and segregation also came from Democrats. That's
    history, I am sorry. I understand that the 'big switch' to the Democrats came about
    with the New Deal, and it was painful for many blacks because the Republicans
    were the party of emancipation.

    The black congressional critters by percent have a much higher level of corruption violations. That is the reason I asked the question that way.

    Why "whites" ??
    That's racist.
    Remember when the Left believed you judge people by the content
    of their character and not their skin? Why can't the Left and their
    loony PC cousins be consistent on ANY political ideal?

    Sure, and many conservative people feel that way too.
    But the Democrats - those who supported slavery, KKK
    and segregation (not one person but a whole party) are
    the new traitors because they turn race against race and
    teach new-comers that the nation they wanted citizenship
    to ought to be pulled down because its sexist, racist, homo
    phobe, anti-transender, patriarchal, imperialist, hierarchical,
    genocidal, militarist, fascist, Capitalist and oh yes.. white.

    They can't convince the wealthy and hard working Asians
    of this, of course.
