The other day as I was driving, I was listening to a Fox News show on Sat Radio (free demo for a couple more days).
Anyway, the host was interviewing recent graduates, and the typical questions (who did you vote for? Why did you vote the way you did?) were getting the typical answers, but then I heard something that just really clicked and made me wonder.
The host asked who would vote for Hillary in 2016, and I guess there was only 1 guy who raised his hand. (the following is very much paraphrased) When the host asked why, he said that he voted for Barky because he thought that it was important for society to progress and that the nation needed to elect an "African-American" as President.
He went on to say that while Barky's election started moving things in the right direction, it was important to "advance society" by electing a woman as President.
I watched that clip on T.V., - - and just for the record, a highly-intelligent conservative gal raised her hand and spoke immediately after her, - - and said something to the effect of (paraphrased), - - “well, I’m a woman and have no intention of voting for someone just because she’s a woman, I’ll vote for someone because they’re qualified for the position”
They should act bravely and start the process...
*scandal* even. It’s not like the preview has a red squiggly line under these things, is it?
LOL
stop
LOL
Like this. See? :^)
>>Many progressives feel the human race needs to die because we are spoiling the planet. I suggest they are right and should do the right thing and set an example for the rest of us.>>
PERFECT
You are hearing the words of a leftist who has an agenda.
Why try to make sense out of that which is nonsensical from the start?
They don’t think. They feel.
I had one of those sit in my livingroom and tell me the country doesn’t need anymore old white men as president and that hussein is BLAAAAACK! and CAAAAARES about the people. I should ask him your question. Ha, I heard a couple months ago that he’s afraid of me.
“If not, why not?”
Well, of course, because the MSM will convince that fellow (and others like him) that S. Palin is not “really” a woman or “not a woman for political purposes” which is I guess what they mean.
For a long time I heard that the first black president would have to be a conservative republican (Nixon goes to China, etc.) but that turned out to be not true.
But of course it was long before we had Obama inflicted on us that the Left started informing us that Clarence Thomas was “not really black” or, as I say “not black for political purposes”.
I hope I live long enough to see the American left smoldering on the ash heap of history, I really do.
apple, peach or cherry?
Nice point. Logical. Therefore, you are out of fashion—resigned to the ash heap, right along side of classical education, tradition, morals and ethics.
Interesting question.... I think Matt Stone and Trey Parker summed it up cojently.... It makes them smug.
I say this as someone who was a big government, Politically correct Liberal until 1995...
Confession: I remember finding a Dentist specifically because she was black and a female when I first graduated Uni. I can’t even begin to understand why I or anyone would do that... except that it made me feel smug. So smug, I also recall sharing this piece of information with my Liberal friends... so as to prove my committment to the cause lol
And who couldn’t put a shoe together if his life depended on it. I knew a man who worked as an engineer in Ceausescu’s Romania, even met him once or twice. Ceausescu’s father was drunkard who had another son. He was such a drunk that Nicolae was given his name even though his older brother had the same name. Papa Ceausescu forgot he had already had a son by the name of ‘’Nicolae’’. He also told me Ceausescu was so dumb he couldn’t understand dimensions in scale models of things, such as his endless construction projects so things had to be built life size first so that he could understand what he was looking at. As for Goebbels comment, it’s obviously the statement of an arrogant but well educated man. In fact of all of the thugs in Hitlers closet circle, next to Albert Speer, Goebbels was the most educated among them. He had a PhD in philosophy from Heidelberg University. In any normal German societal situation at the time Hitler and Goebbels would never have been known to each other.
In what bizarre universe is voting for someone because of their sex or the color of their skin instead of their competence and dedication to improving the welfare of their countrymen to be considered as “improving society” and “progressing”???.....
You obviously missed "Racism 101" in your studies.......
8 years ago, it would have been a good deal for me... I was a field service tech, and would easily spend at least an hour a day in the car, often more than that.
Now I work at a place close to home, so it just doesn't make sense for me anymore. I don't do much driving these days...
