If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Bravo for a congressman that believes - and ACTS - in his principles!

Rep. Bobby Rush (D., Il) helped found the Illinois Black Panther Party in 1968. He became its deputy minister of defense.
The Panthers called for and in some cases carried out assassinations of police and public officials as well as horribly brutalizing its own members if they didn't toe the party line.
Rush spent 6 months in prison in 1969 on a weapons charge.
To anyone's knowledge, Rush has never disowned or repudiated his past with the Black Panthers.

I am of the belief that angry protests in a representative republic simply reveal the impotence of the protestor. He's a congressman, but I don't see any bills hitting the fore and it certainly wasn't a hot topic at the NAACP convention.

I really don't believe that Defense Minister Rush is out for anyone but himself.

Must be he's up for reelection. How long has the problem in the Sudan been going on, and this is the first that people like Rush and Rangel have had any voice on the matter. Too little, too late in my estimation.

What about those of us, who have protested at the Embassy of Sudan long before the CBC got their late asses involved.

It's never too late to do the right thing.

At least he's drawing attention to the horrors here.

What do they care? They possess no WMDs. There is no link to 9/11. They are not a threat to us. They are only killing their own. I thought it's none of our business.

Try living in Chicago, in his district. He is an embarrassment. Is Rush trying to beat Photo-op Jesse Jackass at his own game?

Yeah, that will work. My favorite charity is one missionary in the Sudan. They tell me that they need 2000 just to protect their church.

Some how I don't see the UN or the French stopping the Genocide that is happening in Sudan. The only thing the UN, French and the Dems can stop is a good case of diarrhea, because of all the constipation that is the French, UN and Dems.

That depends on what your motivating factors are for doing it.

Only God can search the human heart to see anyone's true motives. The Congressman is going to jail for opposing genocide? More people should follow his example, even if they only want to get their names in the papers!
