Via Jonah Goldberg:
One of the points of racial slander is to signal that only liberal policies are guaranteed to be non-racist (even when such policies were forged with racist intent, like the Davis-Bacon Act). This is why the Congressional Black Caucus insists on calling itself the “conscience of the Congress.”
That’s why policies like school choice are routinely denounced as racist, even though they’re largely aimed at improving the lives of inner-city blacks trapped in bad schools. Teachers unions don’t like school choice, ergo, it’s racist.
Any serious attempt by the GOP to win black votes won’t involve Republicans copycatting liberal policies. It will require going over the heads of black and white liberal slanderers to offer a sincere alternative to failed liberal policies on schools, poverty, crime, etc. The more effective that effort, the more the GOP will be called racist.
When Romney, whose father marched with Martin Luther King Jr., spoke to the NAACP, Michael Tomasky of the Daily Beast dubbed him a “race-mongering pyromaniac,” primarily for using the term “ObamaCare” — a term Barack Obama used himself.
Just imagine the attacks in store for a more effective Republican.

Why is the KKK so strong in your lovely home of Texas, then? Oops! I’m not an expert on Texas’s history; can you give us a quick rundown on its noble battle against slavery and segregation? How it moved heaven and earth to ensure equality for all Americans?
We need to clone General Sherman (quoted below) back to life–and give him nukes. The first time wasn’t enough to permanently kill off the South’s frothy-mouthed addiction to war and killing.
“You people of the South don’t know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don’t know what you’re talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it… Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.” –Comments to Prof. David F. Boyd at the Louisiana State Seminary (24 December 1860)
The fact that Sherman said in 1860 “you people speak so lightly of war” shows how little has changed in that placid part of the world from that time and 2003-07, the true Iraq war era.
They really are scum down there and it was a mistake not to let them form their own Third World agricultural country (which southern rednecks actually intended to unite with the Caribbean into a slave plantation superstate with the capital in Charleston.
Don’t you have a woman beat, a boy to rape, or a homosexual to stone to death?
You hear a lot of talk about how the Republican and Democrat parties have “switched places” regarding race, but that’s not really true.
If the Democrat party leaders in 1955 could have stepped into a time machine and seen the state of the Democrat party in 2012, they would have been very pleased. The Democrat party does its level best to keep blacks in the ghetto, with almost complete success, and the overwhelming majority of blacks support the process and enthusiastically participate in their own victimization.
“Why is the KKK so strong in your lovely home of Texas, then?”
Andrew you’re pretty delusional if you thing the Klan is relevand today in Texas. You might try Illinois.
“I’m not an expert on Texas’s history”
No you’re not, nor with punctuation either.
No ELL857, not Illinois either. KKK is still alive and doing very well in Indiana. You and Andrew may benefit from reading about KKK and its Indiana history then and now.
[comment deleted by Robbie, because you don't get to disparage the men and women of our military. Not on this blog, asswipe. Each and everyone of those Soldiers is a better person than you'll ever amount to. Now fuck off, douchnozzle.]
You need to get the fuck out of this country and live elsewhere for a long minute. I get the feeling you would cry to momma after a month oversees. May I suggest Saudi Arabia or Iraq if you are so protective of these violators of human rights. Now – start packing and bon voyage….
He already did — the IP resolves to the Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Where women are worth less than a camel (and used for sex less often, as well).
Oh man. Well – let’s wish him well
Let’s don’t, it’s just an ip and name switching deranged troll.
got ya.
