That's why they love code words so. It allows them to pretend that they are doing what they do for high moral reasons. It allows them to pretend, not just to others, but to themselves as well.

That's why anti-abortion fastened onto the name 'right to life' and they are so hysterical that what they are doing is 'protecting the unborn.' All realistic studies show that good, honest sex education is the way to cut down on abortion. But sex education makes foamers foam that teaching sex will lead to sex. Which is what they really fear. They don't want to end pregnancy and disease. Pregnancy and disease are desirable as enforcers that will protect us from people having sex.

If there is any doubt, notice that abortion foes are now becoming foes of birth control. Because it leads to sex for pleasure.

Fear of dark people is the impulse that's most denied. Overt racism is rare indeed. Though the spectacle of Fox News's John Gibson urging white people to have more babies lest the lesser breeds outbreed us, came close in his smiley, Christian way. But actions speak louder than words. In the land of racism, the American south, white voters have moved away from the Democrats and now vote Republican. Black people vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. That is, white people who don't like black people, and black people both know, no matter what words are spoken. Republicans work very hard to disenfranchise black people. Democrats work to get them to vote.

If we are going to change politics in this country we need to understand foaming at the mouth. Sometimes defuse it, sometimes harness it, even sometimes use it.

In the meantime, it's a pleasure to watch the Republicans lose control over their own foamers, and watch them turn on each other, the white stuff bubbling all around their mouths.
