Both recent conservative pushes -- a gay marriage ban and locking down the borders -- always seemed racist to me. I don't mean to call conservatives racists because I don't think all conservatives tote the GOP meme. Much like Cheney doesn't agree with a gay-marriage ban because of his experience with his daughter, I think Bush doesn't agree with locking down the borders because of his experience with his Brother's wife. The racism breeds because of a lack of empathy.
This isn't central to the GOP, however. The liberals showed their racism during the New Orleans port deal blasting Bush for allowing a company from an Arab nation to control a major U.S. port. The fact that the majority of the company's board live in high-rise apartments in New York and wear Hermes suits was lost in the liberal outcry. I'm frightened for both parties.
Even more frightening is that the majority of the country falls somewhere within both sides and are equally apt to the same type of brain-dead racism, based on slippery slopes.
