No, that is just poor English

No, most of it is intentional.

Not very "apt" I am afraid if I say "maximum" when I meant "maxim" but I always blame such things on Dragon NaturallySpeaking software. I do not know whom I can blame for the proof leading error.

But I think the maxim is apt especially in view of the ongoing soul-searching being conducted by the Republicans and encouraged shamelessly by Democrats occasioned, allegedly, by Romney's remark post election about how we lost because Obama "gives" entitlements to about half the population. So far, the debate has been conducted by Republicans on the issue of class and entitlements but the Democrats are trying to drag them into race.

Bill O'Reilly got caught in that trap last night, although I do not accuse O'Reilly of being a Republican or even a conservative, he was attacked in the Washington Post as a racist for making the observation that traditional America is gone and it is gone largely because of across-the-board entitlements.

My view is that there is a mix of class and race at work. For example, not more than a few months ago black America was by majority opposed to homosexual marriage and now seems to have flipped with the president. Does one attribute that to class or to race?

What does one make of Colin Powell's endorsement?

I believe that there is a lot of race at work in this equation but how Republicans work with that reality is a conundrum they have not yet solved. If they cannot attack Obama for playing the race card, and they will not attack Barack Obama for being a radical leftist, that left Romney with ineffectual complaints that Obama's economic policies were the product of an ignorant but well-intentioned mind. This kind of criticism gained no traction against fixed opinions grounded in race that Obama was their man.

If the question is really one of race and not one of economics, that means that there is no appeasing of the Hispanic community until they sort out the race issue for themselves. In other words, if Hispanics voting Democrat because Democrats have successfully pandered to them on the basis of race, Republicans will get nowhere attempting to woo them on the basis of economics.

It seems clear to me that Republicans and conservatives are arguing about matters as though they were entirely controlled by economics when they are largely controlled by race. As long as we cannot openly speak the truth in a vocabulary of truth we are very unlikely to cure our problems.

It is shocking to hear blacks speaking perfect English in British places like England, Bermuda etc. I am so used to ghetto talk I wasn’t sure it was possibly genetic.

The strength can be the strength of ideas as well, and we do not defend our ideas strongly at all. For one thing, we should start by refusing to let ourselves be silenced: the universities and public venues that refuse to let conservatives speak are not black or minority of any kind, but they are one of the prime leaders in suppressing us. Yet we rarely fight back (take it to court, for example, or even make much public outcry over it).

It’s the strength of the principles that’s going to win - but only if that’s coupled with the strength of our expression of and support for them.

Unfortunately, libertarians stand as termites in the conservative foundation by joining liberals in slamming and ridiculing public discussions about Christian virtue within our American culture.

Libertarians are a real problem, since they actually don't share a lot of conservative positions (not only about morality and ethics, but about economics) and yet they get away with posing as conservatives while in reality they are doing nothing but, as you say very well, boring away at our foundations.

True. If you try to contradict the craziness they just smile at you and slowly shake their head in pity as if YOU are the incurably crazy one.

Yep. I've seen this. Let's see, what are some of the other black conspiracies... The CIA created AIDS in a laboratory in Houston Texas to wipe them out. That's a big one.

Well, where do Walter Williams, Allen West, Clarence Thomas, etc, fit into this conversation?

Anomolies? Edge cases?

[FreedomPoster]

Unfortunately, at this point they are merely the few exceptions that prove the rule.

They assumed that since they figured it out, so would their kids.

It seems that there is heavy peer pressure to conform with the popular black culture. Even the white kids are dressing and talking like hood rats.

This feels like another rebellious generation coming along.

Here’s a website about some of them.

“No, most of it is intentional.”

You give them too much credit; imagine visiting someone’s apartment, and there is not ONE PIECE of reading material present - ANYWHERE. That is what this is about.
