It was inevitable. George W. Bush was eventually going to nominate a Supreme Court justice. The resignation of Sandra Day O’Connor is the moment the right wing have been waiting for. Actually they didn’t sit around waiting. They made it all happen when they stole the 2000 presidential election.
Bush may be inarticulate and suffering from some sort of learning disability but he is a very shrewd politician. Just as Thomas was a replacement for a black justice, O’Connor’s replacement will probably be female and to add icing to the cake may also be black.
...
Many years have passed but our memories should not be swept under the rug. If Janice Rogers Brown is the Bush league choice the black community should be unanimous in opposing her nomination. Stories about share cropping families should not be allowed to sway us from speaking out against this truly horrific woman, who said:
“In the heyday of liberal democracy all roads lead to slavery.”
That statement is so bizarre that it can only be called insane. If Brown thinks that freedom is slavery she should have added that war is peace. As BC pointed out, Bush-approved blacks are always crazier than their white counterparts.
...
Young or someone like him will tell us that nominee X is a fine jurist, a good person, and will make the race proud. So what if he or she is a Republican nominee? Most of us would rather sell our first born than support a Republican and election results prove it. But if O’Connor’s replacement is black too many of us may be willing to forget that fact.

Dripping with hatred. These people must live horrific lives.

With such negativity how are you ever going to accomplish anything? Is there anybody here who oppose something simply because it was put forward by a President they didn't like? What if Clinton had supported school vouchers or tax cuts or serious action against Bin Lauden? Wouldn't conservatives have supported that?
Look at the way conservatives in British Parlement supported Tony Blair over going to Iraq - they voted on principle not personality.The black caucus could help themselves and the whole country by doing the same.
When you consider the positions of so many black "leaders," then "sell our firstborn" starts to look like a Freudian slip. They support abortion on demand (probably with taxpayer funding) even though it's being used as a tool of genocide. They don't support school vouchers, even though the majority of low-income minority parents do. They are on the wrong side of any issue that might be of benefit to the most black people in this generation or the next.
Pretty awful comment by the author, no? In light of all issues affecting the "black community" her comment cannot be passed off as glib or hyperbole. It's just not funny.
Don't these people have jobs? Lives? Egads. Years ago, I was able to see exactly how the socialists were communicating -- via gopher, usenet, prodigy. The old "gopher" communications were the most revealing. And revealing how guilty the US "educational" elite were in foisting socialist problems on the US. Pretty hard to find those old gopher links and sites, now. I tracked them as a hobby. Learned too much. Bit into that apple hard. My innocence about "good intensions gone awry" were definitly gone after tracking stuff via gopher. It wasn't about "good intentions gone awry" -- it was definitely planned. A socialist conspiracy. And all about money, power, and control. I found few to no conservatives out there on these forms of "pre-internet" vehicles. Ergo, folks were much more open with their names, who they knew, what they proposed, what they believed, and what country they were communicating planned "events" with, and against the US Constitution, education, sound laws, and the like.
Is this, like, a Dick Durbin apology?
I assume your tongue is firmly planted in cheek. Are you serious?
I am a straight shooter in communication, especially when it comes to such things.
If serious, how do you wish me to say it?
Apparently a lot of them work for these phoney $oreA$$ financed non profits.
Other get a pay check from a govermental agency and use the tax payer computers to spew out their messages of hate.
For starters sweetheart, you're a nooooobie. You overstepped your bounds in questioning a longtime FReeper like that. I can safely say that I'm not likely to be as impressed with your education and study as you are.
Furthermore, a cursory review of the multiple posts to the posting of Black Commentator piece demonstrates the vast amount of those who have responded...responded in the negative.
The ideas espoused by the piece do not remotely resemble that of a conservative, limited government, constitutional, libertarian turn of mind.
You'll find, after you've been here a minute or two, that this is not an echo chamber. Knowing what the enemy is thinking, and is up to, is essential to this fight.
I believe there is nothing wrong with asking the question openly. If one wants to respond openly as has been done, one is ducking the issue. One appears as a cowardly poser.
Don't know what you meant to say there. Doesn't look like your education quite made it to your keyboard.
In re Soros. Sure, sure I can attribute his interest in Pan-African connections on surface as "interested" and caring -- but I've known about Soros since the early 90s. His interest in all things "African"? Dollars. Money. That's what's true about Soros, and to his credit he doesn't hide it; it IS all about the money, assets, etc.
I used to limit my Soros searches to funding. However, they have gotten very crafty in some of their writeups and funding is sometimes not mention directly but referred to.
For starters sweetheart, you're a nooooobie. You overstepped your bounds in questioning a longtime FReeper like that.
Did you see my immediate post following the one you commented on?
I can safely say that I'm not likely to be as impressed with your education and study as you are.
You being impressed is not important to me. It was not meant for impression.
This is not an echo chamber. Knowing what the enemy is thinking, and is up to, is essential to this fight.
I should think not, and I could not agree more. The fact is that all the responses were relatively uniform on the piece. That is good not bad in this case, but not an echo.
I will leave the last comment alone, as my immediate follow up post makes it a moot point.
