Both have come to seek intentional segregation. One by color, the other by language. Sad.

[GATOR NAVY]

Does anyone keep a Prager ping list?

[Captainpaintball]

Alan, write this down...BFLR

[ArmyTeach]

Have you read Strauss and Howe on generational cycles?

[freeangel]

Why?

She was daring anyone to disagree so that she could fit them into the “racist” obama box.

[jazzlite]

Americans will cower in the face of these insulting acts. They have been taught to fear the label of “racism.” And, the definition of racism get more narrow each and every day. I read this a.m. that children who say “Yuck” to foreign food are being called “racists.” As Dr. Phil says, “This is a situation which begs for a hero.” The problem is that heroes cannot get through the thick wall of the leftist news media.

[Wonder Warthog]

Not to worry. You can bet she’ll never get such an invitation again, and that the number of blacks that would be invited will drop seriously. Actions have consequences (as the Chixie Dicks found out).

Just the Begining , HERE COMES OBAMA!!!!!!

[ballplayer]

I guess this is what Michelle Obama meant when in one of her speeches she said we are going to have to change our traditions ,our ways of thinking.
I guess from the polls most Former Freedom Loving Americans agree

Rene Marie proved she is not a person of character. She is a scoundrel. While she may get high-fives from left-wing fringe groups, even they now know she cannot be trusted: She's useful; but not someone to trust.

In analogy, she was employed to work the store's cash register. She took some cash in the name of artistic freedom.

From article: Thus, Marie justified what she did in terms of feelings: "I want to express how I feel about living in the United States as a black woman, as a black person," she said. Her feelings were what mattered, and they were more important than elementary decency.She broke a trust in order to "feel good" about herself.

Rev Wright is probably quite proud of her "Christian" values.

[Dick Vomer]

well, there you go..........

[EyeGuy]

“Right now white America does not have enough backbone to stand up and say “I have had enough of this Shiite and will not take any more guff”.”

Absolutely.

Personally, I really thought the absolutely disgusting Simpson trial would be the turning point that opened some white eyes to the depth and intensity of black racism. Instead white acquiescence to thuggish extortion, and the lies of political correctness has only accelerated since then.

If Obama wants to pick up some additional votes, he should throw her under the bus. I think there’s some room left next to the right rear tire.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

You think one of the most highly educated talents on Talk Radio needs to ‘’study up on his history’’ because he didn’t cite an early 20th century NOVELIST?

You might want to contemplate where from inside yourself such a post would come from - and revisit what Prager contemplates here about narcissism and arrogance. Sheesh.

[TNCMAXQ]

This is probably another sign that CO is going down the drain and will vote Democrat for president this year.

These lefties don’t see the complete irony and contradiction in their statements do they? She whines and moans about how she and others like her are oppressed, out of the mainstream, etc etc. Yet if she truly was a victim her name would be held up to national ridicule right now. Instead her outrage created no scandal, and she will probably suffer no repercussions. Sounds to me like she is the one who is protected.

[Alia]

Maybe. Maybe not.

Through my life, I've learned that still waters run deep. Folks may not be registering in public their dismay; but what they privately think is another matter.

Most of us "cling to our religion and our guns". Lol! Rene Marie just encouraged us to do more of that. And become even better prepared.

My own perception is that folks were too stunned to react, properly. They may give lip service tribute to Rene Marie, but what is in their deeply held private hearts is another matter. Americans have become quite Japanese in this way.

Rene Marie did not play her hand smartly. She did not do an Obama feint. She gave us a taste, a witness, of what will come to pass should someone like Obama, with his recorded history, be elected President.

Way to go, Rene Marie!

Yep. Let every voice be heard.

[Tolik]

Dennis Prager:

... What Marie did embodied a plethora of leftist ideals and characteristics:

• Ethical relativism,
• multiculturalism,
• the supremacy of feelings,
• the belief that artists are above normal ethical standards and
• group victimization.

Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.  

[BufordP]

Thanks for the ping!

Ping your list if you want, TSR.

Blacks better belly-up to the bar and ask themselves what entity other than guilt-ridden white America can they pander to for freebies. They start their own country, they would ‘drown in their own tears’ without anyone to listen to them. Can anyone name one state in Africa that has learned at this point not to foul it’s own plate? The prosecution rests, your honor...
