Conservatives: Nothing But A Bunch of Bigots

Conservatives are often falsely accused of “not pay enough attention” to minorities. The truth is that Conservatives are not guilty of ignoring minorities, merely Conservatives are not willing to exploit minorities as Liberals have. Our lack of wiliness to exploit minorities often comes across as uncaring. Nothing could be further from the truth:

Why the GOP Can't Win With Minorities

Shelby makes some valid points. However, what Conservatives really need to do is explain how conservative principals are not about skin color, ethnic background, or gender. Conservative values are not about categories, but about the “content of your character.”

I have always had difficultly even using the word “minority,” mainly because of my glamorized belief that we are all Americans, and as such we are all a majority. E Pluribus Unum, Many Into One, it is not just a slogan on our currency; it is statement of our unity, a testament to our very strength as a nation. E Pluribus Unum is a motto of a nation made up of immigrants from all around the world, brought together by whatever means, to form one nation. Think about it, you can move to Japan, but you will never be Japanese. But you can come to America, and become American.

Conservatives are not bigots, but we are guilty of being naïve. That naivety can come across as being disconnected, or worse, heartless. However, the truth is that the Conservative message does not need to be “adjusted or tailored” to suit the needs of minorities. Simply put, the Conservative message is in need of fusion, a synergy between issue and solution. Which is easy when we not only utter the words E Pluribus Unum, but we live by them.
