Hope y'all realize this is just rage bait. Like when conservative bloggers pass of a couple of tweets from tankies as the official stance for every Democrat and left wing movement.

If anyone didn't see this coming then they're beyond deluded.

How about a less biased source? I don't think salon could say something positive about a conservative parent if they wanted to...

What's there to say? There's a reasonable, economically conservative party in America, and it's called the Democratic Party.

Nice comment to break your Lemmy cherry on btw. Defending an outright segregationist, if you had read the article.
