From "Subhuman Mongrel" To "Jim Crow" Laws: Conservatives Can't Stop Fighting Lost Cultural Battles

It may be the shortest month of the year, but the right wing packed February's 28 calendar days with two notable, and bigoted, defeats.

Between campaigning with Ted Nugent in the wake of the conservative columnist and National Rifle Association board member denouncing President Obama as a "communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel,"

and aRepublican-led efforts in mostly red state houses to protect religiously-motivated business owners who refuse service to gay customers, conservatives vigorously volunteered for duty to fight their favorite cultural wars this month. Except these are battles they have already fought and lost. Over and over again.

Obama's an historic monster ripping liberties away from citizens and deliberately driving the country into ruin?

He's a "piece of @!$%#" "gangster" surrounded by Nazis, as professional name-caller Nugent insists? Voters have already rejected that dark premise, twice, easily propelling Obama to two electoral landslide victories.

Gays don't deserve the everyday rights and protections as fellow Americans because they might infringe on Christians' "religious freedom"?

As openly gay athletes are cheered while breaking down new barriers, as activists string together a prodigious record of court victories in favor of marriage equality,

and with poll after poll showing a deepening acceptance of gay Americans, particularly among young voters, the foolhardy attempt to unleash new discrimination ended as a resounding failure in Arizona this month.

the country has changed not saying Pres. did it but can you say all the bigotry that created laws of discrimination would have been torn down if Romney or i dare say Hilary were in the big chair.

that is why the gangster references to his admin are circulating lawless, "we can't trust him to enforce our laws" note they said our not the law, and the constant assaults have gone on for 5 years and no end in sight maybe not so much Nov. 4th has potential.

during their insurrection nothing got done the recession they put us in they did nothing to get us out and blocked all Pres. did to that end and still we advanced to their rants of not fast enough. 

Cheered on by pockets of the right-wing media, and led by outrage-obsessed Fox News, some conservatives can't admit defeat. They can't move on. They cannot admit the country has turned away from their intolerant preaching about Obama and gays, among others.

Fueled by divisiveness, and increasingly unconcerned with public policy or even the remnants of a Republican legislative agenda (remember those?), hardcore conservatives time and again retrench and then unfurl their failed cultural war battle plan.

It's a blueprint drawn up by conservative media voices who benefit from the manufactured outrage. For right-wing carnival barkers, these recent controversies equal content. For conservative leaders and Republicans, the controversies equal dead-end excursions.

It's a truly ceaseless cycle. February simply presented the sequence in vivid, stark contrast, with the Nugentdebacle immediately followed by the Arizona gay bias, public relations calamity.

their pick of the worst America has to offer to denigrate the Pres. backfired and looks like the Klan minus the funny hats and sheets.  the racist rants that no one rebutted tells the world what the republicans keep denying they are racist, bigoted and will lay down with anybody willing to spread the hate and vitriol they say Pres. is trying to divide the country, well read what they say and what Pres. says and see who really is behind door number 1, with that filthy, crap encrusted, lice infested, foul mouth, Vietnam dodger, patriot huh too what or who?
