Time to rethink where you and your old time GOP hack buddies want to take us.

One of the reasons that Branch Rickey, a Republican activist, selected Jackie Robinson to break the color barrier in major league baseball was their compatible political beliefs. It is beyond dispute that Robinson was a Republican.
Jackie Robinson campaigned for Richard Nixon against John Kennedy in 1960. After Nixon was defeated for governor of California in 1962, Robinson wrote to console the future Republican president:
“The only regret I have in supporting you twice is that I was unfortunate not to have been able to help more than I did. I am sorry also that most Negroes were unwilling to believe the promises you made. I personally was, and still am, convinced that you were the best candidate for the presidency in 1960 and a man we need very much in Government Service...”

Last time I checked , the word Negro was capitalized.
Now you know . .
Also should cap. President Obama, don't do that either...should also cap. Democrat Party and Republican Party, don't do that either...
But thank you for inspiring me to get out the dictionary and check......but I didn't check to see if dictionary should be caps...
Thanks, SC. Some people just can’t handle the truth.
“Thanks, SC. Some people just can’t handle the truth.”
People like you pervert it.
Most of the neo-Confederate loons on Free Republic are Democrat operatives, trolling to discredit conservatives.

Mikie, don’t look now, but you are losing your free ride on the GOP gravy train and you might have to get a job. And right around Halloween, too. .. that prospect oughta scare you good ... no more sucking off the GOP tit ... poor baby.
How’s that “New Southern Strategy” coming along? You still trying to split the Republican Party up along geographical lines? Stir animosity between FReepers with your hysterical theories and half truths? You are an Hysterian, aren’t you? That ought to be a BIG help to the Party bosses. You are going to be rewarded BIG for all of this Mikie. You’ll see. If you can’t trust political hacks, who can you trust?
Your approach is a Democrat troll strategy trying to discredit the Tea Party by equating it with racism, slavery and the Confederacy. Most Freepers caught on to you long ago, yet you persist.
Hahahaha. My position on this site is clear; I am not the GOP hack, sonny, YOU are. I am a conservative and my many, many years of posting speaks for itself. Because I believe that the Civil War was not solely about slavery does not make me a "troll." It makes me a guy with a different opinion. Like a good hack, though, you have nothing but smears. You show your true colors with every post. Keep it up. This is EXAAAACTLY how your handlers lost control of the Grand Old Potty.
If we don't change the GOP from top to bottom and eliminate insiders like you, it will be the end of the Republic ... you all need to be dismissed. You have made a mockery of Conservatism and of America.
YOU LIE!
I will not contribute or vote for any candidate who toes the GOP party line ... and yes, if that means losses, then so be it. The RINO needs to go extinct. Like you.
Here you go, Mikie, something to read while you are on the Grand Old Potty, Son. ...
Forget about where you and your old time GOP hack buddies want to take us. We know better.
