Democratic World vs. Republican World

[PornoDoggy]

Colin – racists in much of the South dominated the pre-1970 Democratic Party and had as one of its fundamental purposes the suppression of the rights of one group of people based on race. While moderate and centrist Republicans supported Northern Democrats on issues of Civil Rights, several prominent Conservatives – William F. Buckley and Barry Goldwater among them – admitted that they were wrong to work with the Southern Democrats in efforts to block civil rights legislation. What they stood for is, IMHO, evil, in the same way the Afrikaner party was evil, the Nazis were evil, and religious fundamentalists in the Middle East and India, for example, are evil.

I don’t think of the Republicans Party today as “evil” in the sense that I viewed the Dixiecrats/Wallace gang centered in the Democratic Party pre-1970. That being said, I view race baiting as evil. Perhaps that proves my weak mind; I just don’t know of a better way to put it, since merely labeling it "wrong" doesn’t go far enough to describe it.

There are a lot of points of valid disagreement between the left and the right, between the Democrats and the Republicans –this issue is a no-brainer. I repeat again – that is my opinion. You can agree or disagree with it; or you can indulge in some pseudophilosophical semantics game about the existence of evil in a political context. I don’t view much in the way of politics from a “morality” perspective; this is one area that I do, and I assure you I am completely unapologetic about it.

I ended up in the Navy before I could get a degree in Philosophy, so I don’t have the formal training to properly debate what is evil – but as has been said about pornography, “I know it when I see it.” I was raised in the city, so I don’t know much about horseshit, either – but as I have discovered after looking at your so-called question, I know it when I see it too.
