As a realist I know either McCain or Obama will be the next president, and although I won’t be voting, I’m coming to the conclusion that McCain will be less of a train wreck to my personal freedom than Obama. Obama, like McCain, offers endless war, so their foreign policy is a draw. In fact I give points to McCain for his honest 100 year comment. Obama’s nutty obsession to hunt down al Qaeda, a creation of the US government, was all I needed to know about his foreign policy. His speech to AIPAC was the cap stone. On the domestic front, both are awful, but Obama is much worse on guns. His dalliance with Black Theology is equally bad news. One look at the over animated Jeremiah Wright should be enough to convince white America that an influence like him will bring us additional layers of affirmative action, political correctness and slavery reparations. And did I mention Michelle Obama? She reeks of nasty and racism. The only plus Obama would bring is a potential white backlash, which is long over due. There's lots more, but this is a starting point. Let the discussion begin.

This isn't true. On guns and taxes Obama is abysmal. McCain is better on both, as per their voting records. Foreign policy is a wash as Obama seems hell bent on searching the globe for the fictitious (or dead) bin Laden and warring on the CIA created entity, Al Qaeda.
Click the image for "A History of the Gollywogg Doll". A doll inspired by 19th century Minstrels. Essentially a parody of a parody: .
I can't argue with that one bit.
And as you also know, the point is that you've used an overly broad category to make a baseless accusation. Sort of like saying that "Obama favors law and order so therefore he wants to imprison us all in concentration camps". Your "reparations" could be a subset of "social justice" but it doesn't necessarily follow. But implying that it necessarily does follow makes for a nice radioactive smear. If you listened to his speeches, it's there. What the words mean, translate to how he sees his ability to bring it forth. It's that the language he uses, is to mask it's meaning. And no, I don't know what you think of relgion, that's why I asked the question. Point is, its not you that's running for President. If you were, I'd want to study your voting record, your speeches, your influences, your past, everything. If you happen to interpret things differently so be it. Some see the phrase 'comprehensive immigration reform', and know that really means amnesty. That's how they keep the sheep asleep.
Thanks for the Gollywogg Doll. No wonder they're in a perpetual state of anger.
To the extent neoconsrvatism embraces darkie, no. By definition.
Jazmyn Singleton, a black Duke senior agrees. After living in a predominantly white dorm freshman year, she lives with five African-American women in an all-black dormitory. “Both communities tend to be very judgmental,” says Ms. Singleton, ruefully. “There is pressure to be black. The black community can be harsh. People will say there are 600 blacks on campus but only two-thirds are ‘black’ because you can’t count blacks who hang out with white people.”
Yes, but it's not unreasonable.

The evil of AA is that a more qualified white, who might have performed just as well, or better than Obama, might have been passed over because of his/her color. AA is reverse racism and needs to go. Agree?
I don't know who "these" people are unless you mean the Obamaphiles. On another thread you made a blatantly false accusation along with insult and diatribe directed at me. I responded in a civil manner asking where you were coming from. You filtered or ignored me. Today, your rants / feelings have a lot less credibility in my eyes.
That's the lawyer training, and as he's been lauded with the most excellent of honors, we can be sure he's one of the best at it.
Exactly!!! And some laud his magnificent prowess! Gush gush slobber ~~kerplunk~~ !!

For the same reason Nixon could go to China, Obama could end affirmative action as president. If you want affirmative action to end, maybe you should want Obama to win.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Yes, but it's not unreasonable. It's possible, but it doesn't necessarily follow. "Social Justice" could just as easily imply 2nd Amendment rights for all instead of a select few. Assigning very, very narrow radioactive interpretations to a very, very broad and poorly defined term is little more than a stock propaganda tactic.
.
For the same reason Carter COULDN'T go to China, Obama couldn't initiate an amnesty program. The GOP would crucify him for doing so. McCain on the other hand would be supported by the GOP in his amnesty efforts. He would be supported in exactly the same way that the GOP supported Bush - have Rush and the rest of the goob foolers tell the bitter rubes that the GOP opposed amnesty while the GOP prepares the bill and votes it in. And there isn't any doubt about what McCain's amnesty stance is. For those who arn't sure, google "McCain - Kennedy".
.
I don't think I'll ever see Obama say whites, who never owned a slave, or supported the slave trade, or knowingly discriminated against any African American have a right to be angry when affirmative action favors someone of a different race.
Actually, I think he said in his racism speech that their resentment is understandable.

You don't have any material to work with, and I'm sure Bill Clinton feels your pain because of this.
Would it be better if he had failed at everything he had done on his own and instead rode up on the coattails of his relatives - like Bush and McCain? Why wasn't McCain booted out of the academy? Why wasn't McCain booted out of flight school? Why wasn't McCain booted out of the service after the Forrestal? Does having two admirals looking out for you have anything to do with it? Personally, I prefer a leader who has a record of accomplishing difficult tasks using his own resources.

Let's find us one. How about Ron Paul?
That is true. And it's also true that getting a foot in the door doesn't get you the grades. Bush is a good example of this. Bush wasn't qualified to go to Yale, but he got white guy affirmative action because four generations of his family were big benefactors and Prescot was a trustee. Bush failed miserably while he was there. McCain also got white guy affirmative action in that he had two admirals in his family. Like Bush, McCain failed miserably when he got his foot in the door. And it's entirely possible that Obama got into Havard with black guy affirmative action, but in contrast to Bush and McCain, Obama excelled and made law review.
.
He sounds good to me.
How about Jesus himself? And now, back to reality ........
.
Sleepy Senator John McCain Yep. If a Democrat does it, the Republican talking heads will call it amnesty (which it is), but if one of there own does it, they'll call it sound conservative policy. Like I said before, Obama + GOP Congress would be the best way for there not to be any trouble.
That would be a welcome change, if you ever started doing this.
And I'm not saying that Obama is better on the amnesty issue, I am only saying that Obama can't get away with it - and McCain can.

McCain has acknowledged engaging in extramarital affairs upon returning from Vietnam. While he was in Vietnam, his wife Carol had been severely injured in a car accident. Due to the accident, she had become 4 inches shorter, gained weight, and had to use crutches to walk. Soon after his return in 1973, McCain began engaging in extramarital affairs. In 1979, he met and began an affair with 25-year-old Cindy Hensley. A year later, McCain sought a divorce from Carol and a month after that, he married Hensley. He may not have much of a mind, but the old guy sure has made sure he has treated his penis better then women who stood by him while he was a POW.
It probably won't stop the old fraud from talking about "family values." Why should it, if being one of the Keating Five hasn't stopped him from talking about corrupt campaign financing.
You know, I'm going to have to change my vote to McCain. Ron Paul, it was nice supporting you, but the rubber meets the road when we're facing another Robert Mugabe trying to take over America and turn it into a turd-world-no-electricity wasteland. This white man will not bow down before ANY black oppressor. Bring it on, Obama!!!! ;-) "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." Thomas Jefferson

Actually no, you yourself celebrate your racism daily. I don't need to accuse you of it. If there were no real affirmation of racism by you and I accused you of it as a one size fits all way to win an argument or lively discussion with you, I would indeed be in violation of the Mandel rule. Making fun of what you already relish about yourself is very much fair game here. ;-D
He may not have much of a mind, but the old guy sure has made sure he has treated his penis better then women who stood by him while he was a POW. I need to google up some old GOP quotes about how extramarital affairs disqualified you for the office of President. If I recall correctly, Newt had some beauties.

Lots of people from the South have been touched by the tar brush somewhere back in the family tree. Do you ask to see their passbook before dealing with them?

Here's another beaut. I find it hilarious!!
