Do you believe that God created the numerous ethnicities and races of the world in order to mongrelize them all together?
I also notice that you didn’t answer Patrocles’ question. Do you oppose White Christians having a homeland of their own? Do you also oppose other religious, racial and ethnic groups having their own homelands? What gives you the moral authority to tell people that they can not be free and live among their own people in their land?

Pat – Do you believe in heaven? Do you think there will be little ghettos in heaven for “every group?”

Shouldn’t every person and every group have a haven?

I’ve met some of their friends and they are racist. The issue I see besides their political viewpoints based on a fictional version of America that has never existed is that the ones who are not racist will not call out the ones who are racist. Then they complain when they’re tarred with the same brush as people state the Tea Party is racist. They’re so concerned with winning elections that they will ally and vote for people that clearly do not believe in following laws they don’t like even when those laws are constitutional.
The GOP is going to shatter under the internal stress because it like the Democratic Party must have the support of moderates in order to win elections. At this point in time the GOP has lost all chance of winning a national election in 2016 and maybe longer. Realistically they are becoming a party very similar to that of the Populist Party from the end of the 19th century. They will have some regional power, but until they resolve their internal divisions they will be a party that loses power on a national scale.
