The Religious Right. The Christian Coalition. Jesus Loving Elephants. Whatever you want to call them, the Ralph Reeds and Pat Robertsons of the world hijacked the conservative think structure in the 1980s and they have slowly squeezed the intellectual acumen and ideological empathy out of the once proud Party of Lincoln. It was the GOP that was registering black voters in the fifties and sixties and now they are the party that wants us to pretend that racism is over in America, and that slavery was really not a big deal because half of the states weren’t slave states and anyway no black person born today is a slave. They live in a realm outside of reality because reality challenges and debunks all of their dogma.
