Yes, I'll admit that liberals often play to the race card a wee bit too often. On the other side, conservatives will play the anti-antisemitism card quite frequently as a response to any criticism of Israel -- also, the anti-American card for any criticism of America. The political deck is chocked full of ugly cards!
Intelligent political discourse is all but dead, in the U.S. And the ruling class does it's best to keep the citizens divided and bickering about all our differences, while they laugh all the way to the bank. It's been that way throughout history.
What do you think the point of conservatism is? Guys like Raptor were once
THE Establishment. But they are no longer part of it and they're extremely butthurt about it.
They say big government is *eevil* because it protects the weak from the strong. They believe the strong should dominate the weak because that's part of the natural order of things which they believe is innately good. They use the catchphrase "cultural marxism" to dismiss scientific discoveries and and sociological data that undermines the myths which legitimize the social order and form the basis for societies rules[ see "Noble lies, deadly truths" by Leo Strauss].
