I don't get where the odious agenda comes from.
I don't know where racism comes from either ... but that is the obvious agenda the OP is pushing.

I understand that dislike and I say it is completely fair due to the lack of ethics involved in it but be serious here.
Do you really feel so bad about us Righties that you find us evil?
Actually, elsewhere on this forum, you can find a recent thread where I defend conservatism in American politics. As I write in that thread, I think having a broad range of views is vital to healthy political discourse.
Also, I'm not sure why you think I consider conservatives "evil". Would you quote the words that gave you that impression? Clearly there's a misunderstanding afoot, one which I'll be happy to clear up.

That's nice. I find generalizations about this or that group to be useless. When people engage in generalizations, I find myself questioning how much they themselves question their own premises.

Nonsense. Bereft of the context of other sociocultural data, focusing solely on the race of the subjects of that data is simply a fancy post hoc mistake. For that data to be seen in context, other reasons why it might be so need to be examined as well.

You cannot dominate without force and the principle of force has always resided heavily in leftist politics.
Your assumption that an agenda can only be political is unfounded. That was not the agenda that I had in mind, and I'm unsure why you think otherwise.
