To the point, the GOP and most in it are cowardly on raising the Detroit issue exactly because for the fear of being labeled a racist, especially with the first black Prez in office. Beside's, the genteel Old Guard wing like McCain think it poor form to speak the truth about such sensitive issues...there is a time and a place for that, not now is all we know for sure...they never seem to get around to it. (Another hill not worth dying for/on!)
There is no opposition party, there are no Democrats & Republicans...there are only statists and those opposed to them, and right now the statists are in the majority. People like Ted Cruz clearly oppose the statist agenda, but there are not enough of them. The pillars of society - individualism and individual rights, free economic association, education and tradition...and religion and morals - have been and continue to be assaulted, perverted and redefined to become the opposite of what they were meant to be. It is no secret how we came to be where we are...but it is shocking, discouraging and infuriating that we allowed it to happen.
