Yeah, it was those Republicans who had us do that in Vietnam. What’s that? It was the Democrats who dropped all that napalm and bombs on our allies? Next thing you’ll tell me it was them who passed all them Jim Crow laws here. But, But, but? You mean Congress wasn’t controlled by the GOP when the draft started? Where is a history book?
Racism is available to all political persuasions. What party is David Duke again? What party was Abe Lincoln?
@Lewreader. Good call on the Jim Crow Laws
OK, but while we’re studying history, let’s not overlook that Lincoln initially was against freeing the slaves but eventually came around to the opposite view. David Duke initially was a Democrat but in most of his campaigns ran as a Republican. White Southern “Dixiecrats” distanced themselves from the rest of the Democratic party, and it was Democrat Lyndon Johnson who pushed Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Yes, anybody can be a racist, but let’s not cherry pick facts.

Yeah you sure have… mob mentality, xenophobia, and ethnocentrism; all the thing that make humanity into a blight when they get out of hand.

Nothing has changed after all this time. How sad, even if this is painted with the braod stripe of irony and satire.
