well, I do declare.
God bless President Bush. Without name calling or slandering the "leaders" of this movement like they have done to him, he simply turns the other cheek and tells the short, simple truth.
Sure thing,I've come to realize that all historical figures were Black and the White Man has just stolen Black History for thousands of years. HeHe ;)
The NAACP should be near the top of terror groups to watch!
Maybe they've recently invented "flag origami".....:))
The Daily News has been pretty good editorially since 9/11 I've noticed.
Also, Bush seems to be getting a good deal of sympathetic ink on his refusal to break bread with a group who has done nothing but slander and disdain him. There was a very good op ed, from a Philly paper posted here yesterday. The woman who wrote it is definately NOT a bush supporter, but she was in complete agreement with him not attending. She went on to discuss how black americans unshakeable devotion to the dems does them no good politically. Sorry I can't remember her name, it was a pretty good article from the left side.
If and when the black community wakes up to the scam that has been perpetuated on them, these guys would be out of a job. Rather than the welfare of the blacks, this is the leading concern of the so called black leaders.
I wrote a month ago that the big surprise is yet to come..the Daily News will endorse Bush this fall..
For heaven's sake, the black people I am fortunate enough to be close to are smart and bordering on wise....... Who the hell is listening to Jesse Jackasson and his ilk?
P.S. Walter Williams is God ....... and a very handsome man, if I don't mind saying so! "Black by popular demand."
Like the ACLU, the NAACP has become an irrelevance.
That's what I would have done. Throw down the gauntlet.
Pres Bush should notify the NAACP that he'd be glad to speak at their convention just as soon as he receives word that they'd fired scoundrels Julian Bond and Kweisi Mfume and appointed Ward Connerly and Tom Sowell as new co-leaders of the org. That ought to work. (smirk)
That should be the anti-slogan attached to this ludicrous excuse for a presidential ticket.
The only possible combo that I can think of at the moment, which eclipses the disastrous duo, in terms of sheer intellectual vacuity, is the Mondale-Ferraro ticket of 1984.
And remember, that was actually headed by someone who was for all intents and purposes, a warmed-over corpse.
Though it would be a nice gift, I seriously doubt that Zuckerman would jeopardize his expansive business interests simply because he subscribes to President Bush's foreign policy.
I just don't see it happening.
I think President Bush should tell them to pull themseves up by their own boot-straps like most Americans. I doubt if any the members of that organization could have been poorer than my family. Opportunties are there, if one will apply themselve's. Condi Rice, is an excellent example of courage and fortitude. There is the old saying, "Just because you start at the bottom, does not mean you have to remain there." If President Bush were to attend their conference, he would only receive ridicule and mis-placed blame. Those clowns will still be crying about slavery in the year 3000. The organization with victimology, as the grand platform. Let's Roll, Bush/Cheney 2004.
The NAACP has become just another group of well off lefty Democrats that meet once a year to have cocktails and eat lobster and shrimp. A feel good meeting where they can tell each other how righteous they are and how evil the others are.
What has the NAACP done lately for anyone other than the NAACP?
Here's why..the overriding issue to Mort is the safety, security..nay, the existence of Israel..It defines him...what he stands for..and he knows that the Dems, despite what Kerrys et al may say now..well, they're basically pro-Palestinian..and that Israel cannot afford a Dem administration..Kerry would bug out of Iraq..and that would tell the crazies that Israel stands alone..
Their editorial is pretty good, their op-ed page is horrible, and their front-page stories are among the most deceiving, lying, anti-Bush stories around, constantly spinning stories to try and nail President Bush. Overall, a liberal rag.
Still, I can't remember the last time "The Daily News" has endorsed a Republican presidential candidate.
Though I've been wrong about these things before.
Back when Giuliani was running for reelection as mayor, Ed Koch made the bold proclamation that the NYT would endorse his reelection bid.
I was initially very skeptical, but after reading their endorsement on their editorial pages, I realized that I had been proven wrong.
Though, just as I believe that the parochial business concerns of its owner overruled the ed. page's ideological predilections in that case, so too will Zuckerman maintain his longtime political/business associations in deference to his concern for longstanding U.S. and Israeli security policy.
This election is too big for Zuckerman to stab his best friends, and longtime patrons, in the back.
If he does endorse Kerry on the other hand, he will have burnt no bridges, and can easily support any Bush foreign policies in a prospective second term.
