Republicans and David Duke

What’s all this fuss about David Duke and the Republican Party? Don’t you folks get it? The whole point of the Reagan Revolution was to make right-wing extremism not merely respectable, but de rigueur . Thanks to the Republicans, equality, justice, social conscience and personal liberty are “out”; hatemongering, privilege, greed and government encroachment on individual rights are “in.” It’s the mainstream now. In fact, it’s the American way! So come on, stop whining and get with the program!
