Much has been written about the Democrat plantation. On this Democrat plantation, it is said that today's American blacks are slaves to the Democratic Party, much as their ancestors were slaves to their antebellum plantation masters. Then, as now, they were given scraps compared to their masters. Then, as now, running away or any disobedience by an individual was severely punished. Conservatives who have any exposure to "conservative" media are quick to point this out. What they fail to realize is that they, too, are on a plantation.

Romney, unless and if he would be elected and surprises the hell out of me and does a good job, will be disliked by the people of both parties. The elites will build him up to appease themselves, but the rest of us will know we settled for less than the best. Romney will know we know, and yet, he wants the job! Amazing! Unless I knew for a certainty, I could prove myself to my constituents, I would never accept or run for a job I was unqualified for, or unwanted. That alone, makes me dislike Romney for president even more.
If we end up with Mitt then we still have a chance to get rid of it.No, we don't. Willard is proud of RomneyCare with all its new rules, new taxes, its exchanges, its assumptions about the state supervision of private economic activity to support progressive goals, and its mandates, a program functionally identical to ObamaCare. We have as much of a chance of Willard rescinding RomneyCare as Obama rescinding ObamaCare.
We’ve got to keep an eye on the progressive agenda—splitting our vote in the general is at the top of their list.

“I will vote for whoever is running against Romney in the primaries,
and for whoever is running against 0bama in the general.”
MAJOR DITTO!!!!!
I did like Gingrich until he went negative. I also think he has a lot of baggage.
You may be right or I may be right. We just don’t know his true intention. What we do know is that with Obama we have a certain veto. With Romney I don’t think he has the fortitude to veto a Republican controlled House and Senate. So, we DO have a better shot to get rid of Obamacare with Romney than we do with Obama.
I will support conservatives in the primary, however if the establishment prevails, then we must do whatever it takes to dismantle Obamacare. Think of SSIP, the EPA, the income tax of today. We must stop a monster that will make them pale in comparison if given life of a couple decades.
“I don’t call the GOP the grand old plantation for nuthin.”
Honey hush!
I agree with your premise entirely. I think more connection could be made as to how the GOP machine does the grassroots suppression, however. The endorsements, the major policy betrayals, the trumpeting of some petty or inane ‘accomplishment’ as a sop.
We all know what they do.
Good to see it presented head on though, and thank you for doing so.
I like your tagline.
Serious question for you.
Will you vote for Mammon in order to defeat Baal?
Whoah... “lesser of two evils” question.
But isn’t that always our choice in the general?
When was the last time we had a real Christian bible believer running for president?
Romney, being a mormon, is not a real Christian, and is a dominionist, which leads to problems as well.
But, seeing as how our blessed hope is not in government, we have to determine who would be best between the two choices to live with as president, and Romney doesn’t hate the founding principles of this country, ie, Christianity, like 0bama does. Romney also will not actively work to dismantle our Christian foundations like 0bama is and will.
Don’t get me wrong, I won’t be “happy” with a Romney as president, but neither will my children and grandchildren be happy living under a communist government.
It’s not a question of choice at this point. We have pretty limited options and influence, so we need to use them as smartly as possible.
Not me. If Romney gets the nomination, I will not vote for him. No matter the consequences.
Right on! I can’t wait to see how many new Justices Obama can put on the Supreme Court.
Besides, we don't need a businessman to straighten out our economic woes. We just need to stop looting and over-regulating businesses and taxpayers and making them servants of the government instead of the other way around.
I would add that slashing entitlements of every stripe is also imperative. But turning it around is understood-- even by those who don't acknowledge the solution-- and unlikely to happen. Not when their political power and cronies' luxury is at stake. The government beast is devouring us all and won't stop of its own accord. I can see Greece from my house!

This just in: Barack Obama wins in ‘12
John Kass
January 15, 2012
As the Republican presidential candidates and their mouthpieces prattle on the TV from sunny South Carolina, I look up from the screen and out the window and sigh, a conservative heretic at rest, staring at all that cold Midwestern snow.
There’s a yellowed sketch tacked to the wall of my work space, a cowboy Ronald Reagan smiling in eternal optimism. And on a bookshelf is a dusty, dog-eared copy of Russell Kirk’s “The Conservative Mind.”
Surrounded as I am by such dry artifacts of forgotten times, I sometimes wonder why I keep them. It could be self-mockery, or something like the way an amputee decides to keep the unused boot in the closet, out of sight, but near.
And still, I can’t ditch this feeling that I might be boiled in oil for the heresy I’m about to spout:
President Barack Obama will win re-election in 2012.
The reason he’ll win?
He knows who he is. And the Republican politicians don’t know who they are. They’ve forgotten what they’re about, or perhaps like some isolated tribe, they’ve lost the language necessary to explain it to themselves.
Their voters know this and don’t really believe them anymore.
And that’s why Obama will win.
And the Republican establishment that seeks to unseat him?
Their guy Mitt Romney calls himself a conservative. But he’s really a John Kerry in Republican clothing, right down to the phony laugh, and his past flips and flops will haunt him in defeat.

This is outstanding!
I have already vowed on this very site that may God strike me dead if I ever vote for Romney.
I will not reward the scumbag GOP establishment elite with my vote anymore. Period.
By the way, more than anything else, including the lame and phony “electability” excuse we’re pummeled with ...I think it’s all about the money. Mitt’s money. It’s always about the money.

I will support conservatives in the primary, however if the establishment prevails, then we must do whatever it takes to dismantle Obamacare.If the establishment nominates a progressive like Romney then our problem is not Obama or ObamaCare, but a GOP establishment complicit in their rule. And when sheep like yourself reward the establishment for its complicities you become a part of the problem too. Orwell once said in the context of WWII that a pacifist is objectively pro-NAZI. You by the same reasoning are objectively pro-Romney, and by extension pro-RomneyCare as Romney is pro-RomneyCare, which is functionally identical to ObamaCare. If you ever were a conservative you are not one now.
