Those Who Fail to Learn From History, Are Doomed to Repeat It . . . Sadly Still True in This Day and Age...

Some more evidence that the Tea Party and their ilk truly epitomize the concept of the "ugly Americans." . . . .

The Republican party base is posing a serious problem for their 2016 election prospects, as you can see in this short video clip from the South Carolina Freedom Summit.

David Bossie, head of the Citizens United Foundation and organizer of this unruly mob, has a mother-in-law, and she really doesn't like immigrants.

Huffington Post:

During a focus group led by GOP pollster Frank Luntz at the South Carolina Freedom Summit, the mother-in-law of Citizens United president David Bossie compared immigrants to rats and roaches, to the delight of the audience. Bossie is the organizer of the summit, one in a series of cattle calls for GOP presidential hopefuls.

Asked by Luntz to give advice to the these candidates, she said:

One man, one vote. People are comin' in this country across the borders like rats and roaches in the wood pile. We've got a state like Minnesota that says it's not our business to check 'em out, we just register 'em. We've got to get control. That's what they need to know.
Her comments drew laughter, whistling, and applause. Afterwards, Luntz asked the audience if they would vote for Bossie's mother-in-law for president, which drew louder cheers and applause.

These fucking morons are truly incapable of self awareness.  It's just not a human skillset which exists within their DNA.

If you tried to tell these idiots that at one point every single goddamn one of their ancestors was an "immigrant" to this country their already dead eyes would just glaze over and the point would just sail right over their thick melon heads.

But let's look at this in a broader historical context ..... what the Nazi's did in pre-WW2 Germany to rile up the masses and gain their support was to label the Jews, the liberals, the academics, the union supporters and anyone else they hated as rats and vermin and blood-sucking parasites on society.

And that is how the Nazi party came to power.  Because they convinced enough of the dumb, scared, bitter, uneducated, post-WW1 populace to believe that all of their economic woes were because of the Jews and the liberals.

And look where that got the Germans for believing in that horseshit:





Just saying folks.  Just fucking saying . . . . . .  . . . . .
