This is beyond excellent!!

So who wrote it – RSM (sender of beautiful post cards) or Smitty (purveyor of comma’s) ???

Recently heard Colonel West on Laura Ingraham. By the time he finished, I was ready to sign up, roll up the sleeves, and follow this man anywhere he asked, in furtherance of restoring the guiding principles of this great country.

Palin, Rubio, West, Bachmann, Liz Cheney, and the “Young Guns”. I’m as fired up as I’ve been in years.

I remember this man and what he did to save his Troops! I sure hope and wish he gets elected!

I am against pilloring people for some racial, as opposed to truly racist comment. Being un-PC is not and should not be a crime.

But Harry Reid’s comments were condesending to voters as a whole and certainly hypocritical. That is why Reid is a mendacous idiot.

Hey–I just noticed Col. West is is a few shades of skin darker than Barack Obama. Not that it matters, other than perhaps having the need to take some additional Vitamin D in the winter (according to Glenn Reynolds we all need it, but the darker your skin the more you need)–would that alone affect any of you voting for him?

It would not for me. I can assure you I would vote for Col. West over Barack Obama or virtually all of the Democrats in the House and Senate (white, black, whatever). Because I do follow Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s prayer about judging a man by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin.

Call me crazy like that.

White supremacist blogger Stacy McCain proves again he is rasist by supporting fellow racist Allen West. Obviously West must a racist wingnut because he is aligned politically with RSM!

If anyone listened to what Michelle Obama was saying, during the campaign, she felt maligned, in college, but never mentioned why. One can only guess that, being surrounded by liberals, they all made her feel that, without them and their attitudes, she would never be there.

I always think of James Meridith, the first black admitted to the University of Mississippi, who ended up being a Conservative Republican. There was no affirmative action there. The bigots who ran the University of Mississippi, would have loved to have had any reason to keep Mr. Medidith out, but he had the scores, etc.

Republicans are the only party that can eliminate racism from society because Democrats need this sort of polarization to win elections, the Republicans don’t.

“Republicans are the only party that can eliminate racism from society because Democrats need this sort of polarization to win elections, the Republicans don’t.”

Yeah, the GOP has never exploited white racial anxiety to its profit at the ballot box. Snort.

Both parties are guilty of playing the race card, albeit in very different ways. This is, of course, inevitable given the tribal inclination of politics.

As I see it, America is a nation that takes naturally to grievance-airing. Independence-minded colonists were the original self-pitying victims, painting a ridiculous portrayal of America-dwelling British as horribly oppressed, when in reality they were in most ways better off than the king’s subjects in the homeland.

Hell, we even wrote whining right into the Constitution: The proper redress of grievances and all that. Okay, before anyone goes all WTF on my ass, I’m being facetious.

But seriously, I sense some contradiction in many conservatives’ easy dismissal of “victims.”

Don’t we posit a world of scarce resources, fallen souls, imperfect systems, and so on and so forth? Isn’t existence “poor, nasty, brutish, short”? These conditions being so, it follows to reason that imbalanced power dynamics will flourish: Groups with strength will oppress and exploit those groups without strength . . .unless the oppressed articulate their state and work to actively oppose it by advocating on their own behalf. That is, making known their victimhood, making it known loudly, and struggling against it. Which, really, is the starting point of opportunity.

Just some thoughts.

To paraphrase: A hero is a terrible thing to waste.

Go West!

I’m very grateful for Lt. Col. West’s expression of a basic truth: Liberalism’s stance toward blacks — as toward women, Hispanics, gays, “workers” and other token victim-group members of the Democratic coalition — is one of patronizing condescension, telling these people that they are incapable of pursuing success as individuals, but are in permanent need of government assistance as groups.

Yes. The left thinks they own all the aforementioned groups; we’re not people, but possessions.

As a woman, the most depressing misogyny and denial of my rights and freedoms has ALWAYS come from the left. Always.

Barack Obama has maybe 6% African ancestry. Why should he care who gets called a Negro? He has more in common with the folks who bought and sold black slaves than he does with any African-American.

The news is even better than portrayed in this story. There are a number of Black candidates running on pretty much the same platform throughout the country.

And I recently came from a common law/freeman seminar, and included in the audience were refugees from communist countries, a Korean, Nicuaraguan, and a few blacks. Perhaps, the message of liberty will yet prevail, with help from those who reject the victimhood ideology that has so harmed those it ostensibly was designed to help.

The race hucksters, like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, et. al., all know that the white Leftists are condescending and are patronizing them, but, being grifters and parasites, they let the Caucasian Lefties prattle on as they keep putting one over on them [The Man] and accumulating more power and riches for themselves and their minions. Meanwhile, the people they supposedly represent and who believe in them are the ones who suffer [Please don't misunderstand me: I believe in Free Will, so I do believe that these people share the responsiblity for their sad conditions].
