Excuse me, but did this leading spokesperson for conservatism actually call Hispanics a lazy underclass of nitwits who are seeking government handouts?
As Coulter's Republican party sinks into irrelevance in California, one would think its leaders would want to do something to repair the damage they have done to the two-party system by embracing the neo-fascist racism of commentators like Coulter, Limbaugh and many, many others.
The time has come for all of us (regardless of what party we are in) to send a message to the Republican party leadership and to make it loud and clear. We want a second party focused on real issues of importance and not appealing to bigotry and intolerance. If the Republicans cannot fulfill this role, then California, and indeed the nation, needs to replace them with another party.
True American conservatives are not and should not be bigots. True conservatives favor a lower level of government involvement in society and are focused on that and economic and tax issues. We are a society that simply cannot hold together if Coulter's bigotry gains force.
Tom Long
