Flirting with reparations?
NRO ^ | 7/29/08 | Amy Holmes

Or just starry-eyed reporters. I look forward to the press pressing Senator Obama to elaborate: "I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds."

John Conyers (africanhyphenamerican-Kwame Town) has introduced legislation in every congress since first elected in 1961 to pay cash reparations from every honky to every africanhyphenamerican. The time will be ripe when b. hussein osama is elected dictator for life. His legislation calls for payments to everyafricanhyphenamerican including those who located to the “US of KKK A” since the late unpleasantness. His wife, Moronica, is a dangerous person too.

If the damn bloated Federal govt. tries to push this reparations B.S. down the throats of middle class white America you’ll see the biggest antigovernment backlash in American history.
A tax protest and hopefully a few states try to leave the union.

Will someone, including any African-American, explain to me that giving today’s generation a government reparation check will “ease the pain” suffered by their long-time-deceased ancestors who were slaves? Absolutely makes zero sense.

Obama once again demonstrates his ineptness and lack of discipline when speaking extemporaneously. Be assured that he will back peddle and spin about this stupid comment with non-denial denials. The sonorous, preacher-like style evident in his prepared, teleprompter speeches dissolves into a gaff-riddled, stammering, mess of vague equivocation whenever he goes off script. Obama, in his hubris, does not recognize this flaw and reveals himself by such remarks. He is a radical leftist with messianic delusions. He lusts after total control of the Federal government: the Executive, both houses of Congress, and, with three possible Supreme Court appointments and untold other openings on the Federal bench, the Judiciary. Congress is already “setting the table” for reparations under an Obama presidency by their feckless apology in the House yesterday.
