" It calls for a return to lower taxes, greater freedoms, reasonable regulations and more personal responsibility."
So just when was this Utopian paradise that apparently only White males can remember? Lower taxes? In the 50’s? Greater freedoms? Seriously? Why was there a need for the Civil Rights Act in the 60’s and the women’s movement in 70’s? Reasonable regulations? You mean all those regulations that the republican worked so hard to eliminate over the past two decades? And more personal responsibility? Seriously? How so? You mean like how drunk drivers were allowed to keep driving and wife beating was considered a “private family matter”? Please provide us with some actual facts to support assertion of “traditional America”. What you have cited is complete fantasy. A White male fantasy.
