I just refused to have my views dictated to me as if I were an intellectual slave and questioned the qualifications of one B. Hussein Obama...

That sounds very much like a speech given by Justice Thomas. Are you familiar with it?

Yes I am familiar with it; it’s one of three quotes I use here often.

“Any African–American who votes Republican is a turncoat”.
~Je$$e Jackson

I counter that with the following two quotes.

”The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”
~Ayn Rand

”I refuse to have my views dictated to me as if I were an intellectual slave”.
~Justice Clarence Thomas

=========================================================== It is my individual right to vote Republican. And I do so even if so-called 'defenders of minorities' like Je$$e Jackson tell me I shouldn't.
