This is how the Republican Party thinks
"My sons are 25 and 30. They are blond-haired and blue-eyed.
One amendment
today said we could not sell guns to anybody under drug treatment. So does
that mean if you go into a black community, you cannot sell a gun to any
black person?"
- U.S. Rep. Barbara Cubin


"You know, and this can be misconstrued, but honest to goodness (husband)
Ed and I for years, for 20 years, have been saying, 'You know, look at who
runs all the convenience stores across the country.' Every little town you
go into, you know?"
- U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC), who as the Charlotte News and Observer
reported, "confided in a speech that she had been driving, worried, around
the country for decades fueled by suspicions about Arab and Arab-looking
convenience store owners." <2/7/03>

"They were an endangered species. For many of these Japanese Americans, it
wasn't safe for them to be on the street... "Some (Japanese Americans)
probably were intent on doing harm to us, just as some of these Arab
Americans are probably intent on doing harm to us."
- U.S. Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC), who according to the AP "agreed with the
World War II policy of confining Japanese -Americans to internment camps."


"I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president,
we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had
followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these
years, either."
- Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS), praising Strom Thurmond's
segregationist presidential campaign <12/5/02>

"If I see someone that comes in that has a diaper on his head and a fan
belt wrapped around the diaper on his head, that guy needs to be pulled
over and checked."
- U.S. Rep. John Cooksey (R-LA)

"We should just turn the sheriff loose and have him arrest every Muslim
that crosses the state line."
- U.S. Rep. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)

"It's a hell of a challenge."
- Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT) responding to the question "Conrad, how can
you live back there with all those n*****?"

2. They're just racists asses
In the 60's it was black people. Now in 2005 it's Arab people. They're just full of crap and need to get over themselves and grow up.

6. These people are frightening
They need to be rounded up and dropped off on their own private island. There they will be "safe" from contact with anybody who is not lilly-white (or gay/the wrong religion/mentally ill, etc.), and the rest of us will be safe from their bigotry.
