I don’t consider it a mystery. They don’t know or understand the Constitution. They’ve been held in an indentured position by the democrats for over a century (which perpetuates their constitutional ignorance). Churches and spiritual points of view are irrelevant to their political/moral decline. They’re still slaves, they simply don’t know it. Pardon my frankness, but it’s the truth. Now, fire me for what I say and I’ll join Derbyshire for a beer...

Kind of harsh, and characterizes their group as completely passive, which the history of slavery itself would belie, since many slaves made valiant attempts to escape and many fought in the Civil War, and every war America has fought. So I don't completely buy your black-n-white assessment of their situation. Consider our Jewish friends, who, although Jews are often tested and found to be statistically the most intelligent humans, also have been historically in the tank for the Democrats. It is also a mystery to me.

Setting race aside, the plot of the Italian classic novel Il Gattopardo (The Leopard) has to do with the Sicilian aristocracy vs the peasants, who, the book claims, just want to be peasants because it is a life of less responsibility. There is no racial difference; just a characterological one. I believe we need to do missionary work in our own country.
