Why Do Republicans Feel Compelled to be Terrorists?
The Republican Party is historically racist, sexist and homophobic. Why? Here are just a few examples:
Republican leaders get caught making racist and anti-semitic comments on a regular basis, and are often forced to resign in disgrace. Examples: Trent Lott, Jesse Helms, George Allen, George Wallace, ad nauseam. Republicans filibustered during the Civil Rights Act vote of 1964. Republicans opposed MLK Jr. Day (including John McCain). Republicans just got caught calling a fellow Republican Senator a "jew who is counting his pennies" earlier this week.
Homophobic: The official Republican Party platform, in writing, seeks a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. Yet Republicans claim that they are not homophobic, even though they call homosexuality a sin, and the "gay agenda" a threat to "family values."
Sexism: Republicans historically have opposed equal pay legislation for women. Republicans also oppose a woman's right to control her own body, even while they claim to be in favor of less government intrusion into people's lives.
Republicans also do not know how to deal with the President. Some of them call him a socialist (socialism is fascism, which is far to the right of the political spectrum), while others call him a communist (far left on the political spectrum). This is veiled racism.
Republicans are racist, homophobic, sexist hypocrites.
Why is this?

You could always be a libertarian, which combines fiscal responsibility with none of the above. You should understand that republicans dont care about any of that crap. They say it to get votes, and democrats say the opposite to get votes.
People at home want leaders who wont take their money or who will give them lots of pork. They dont care about the stuff youre talking about. For you to make blanket statements about a political party or to take them seriously is ridiculous, and feeds into their overblown rhetoric. Your rant is inaccurate and insulting to good Americans.
However, it is accurate about me. I am a racist, sexist, homophobe (what a stupid term) I think there are differences between the races and between their cultures, and they should be discussed. I just plain old dont like gays. And women cant do anything. But I wouldnt want that reflected in our government. They should make park benches and shut their mouths.
Do you know the reason I would support a racist, sexist candidate? To piss off little whiny girls like you.

1. Just because you are against gay marriage doesn't mean you are homophobic truthfully I am a Republican, and I don't care the slightest bit either way.
2. Equal pay legislation is wrong because it forces employers to pay more, if you are a woman, and your employer is paying you less than men who do the same work, than quit. Also I could say Democrats hate children, because they usually are pro-choice, and they are trying to get rid of the law in Louisiana which make raping a minor punishable by death.
3. Obama is very far left, he nationalized GM, bailed out many huge corporations and special interest groups, and he did the huge failure that was cash for clunkers, and he wants socialized medicine.
4. I could say that Democrats are all Socialist, child hating, racists, because they support affirmative action which gives one race preferential treatment over another, and they apparently believe in thought punishment because they believe in hate crime legislation.

Oh, say, are you able to make certain, by way of the sunrise's early mild, What so proudly we hail'd on the twilight's final sparkling? Whose extensive stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous combat, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, have been so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' pink glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave evidence thro' the night that our flag replaced into nonetheless there. O say, does that celeb-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the unfastened and the homestead of the brave? on the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, the place the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, what's that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, because it fitfully blows, a million/2 conceals, a million/2 discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In finished glory pondered, now shines on the flow: 'Tis the celeb-spangled banner: O, long could it wave O'er the land of the unfastened and the homestead of the brave! And the place is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of conflict and the conflict's confusion a house and a rustic could desire to flow away us not extra? Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollutants. No shelter could desire to save the hireling and slave From the priority of flight or the gloom of the grave: And the celeb-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the unfastened and the homestead of the brave. O, hence be it ever while freemen shall stand, between their lov'd homes and the conflict's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, could the heav'n-rescued land compliment the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a rustic! Then triumph over we could desire to, while our reason is basically, And this be our motto: "In God is our have confidence" And the celeb-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the unfastened and the homestead of the brave!

"while others call him a communist (far left on the political spectrum). This is veiled racism. "
Why does criticism of Obama always have to be called "racism"? Seriously? So what were we when we disagreed with past presidents? Self hating whites? I for one am sick of hearing about how I'm a racist if I don't agree with his policies and/or ideas.

Since when does being racist, sexist, and homophobic mean you are a terrorist? Those are all ideas, not acts of terrorism. There are bigots in all political parties. You for example believe that all republicans are racist, sexist, and homophobic when it is clearly not true. Does that make you a bigot? Obviously it does. But does it make you a terrorist? Obviously not.

The Nazi morons on this page think that it is possible to compare the Republican Party of 1860 to the Republican Party of 2009. LMFAO. Abraham Lincoln would be LEFT OF CENTER if he were alive today - I know that just tears Rpeublicans up, but it's true. Their party has shifted further right than even existed in mainstream politics in 1860. it's an embarrassment.
and yes, Republicans are the more racist, homophobic, and sexist party. Their track record of voting against equal rights laws, of supporting the lower classes, and of making racist, anti-Semitic, and homophobic comments in public is legendary.
Republicans can try all they want to deflect this truth, but the record speaks for itself.

"The Republican Party is historically racist, sexist and homophobic"
Accept that the Republicans fought a civil war to free the slaves from the southern Democrats, enacted women's suffrage in the 20's and the former Republican vice president's daughter is openly gay.
you made a false statement and tried to pass it off as true.
FAIL.

racist?
You mean like Robert KKK Byrd, the guy who used to burn X's on the lawns of blacks and used to burn down churches and string them from trees?
Oh , so what do Democrats do to him? Make him a senior member of Congress AND the Grand Dragon of the Klan.
Congratulations, you win the hypocrisy award

right, because historically the republican party didn't end slavery or contribute anything to the civil rights movement. it definitely wasn't the southern democrats that were the primary opponents to the movement.
