Compassionate slavery?

Conservatism has a whole new mantra added to its glorious image, the compassionate conservatism of Paul Ryan has been unwrapped and and at it's beating heart core is the realization that as Cliven Bundy has so profoundly articulated, 'the negro was better off as a slave' cause he had sump'n to do. There we have it folks....the new right wingers battle cry Compassionate Slavery, cause we want our negro's to have sump'n to do. The Hannity, Limbaugh, McCain/Palin crowd now have a new and appealing plank for their party platform...maybe that's why they are so intractable towards President Obama, they just think he is an uppity escaped from the plantation negro.
