“Fellow melanin-enriched conservative here”
This is wholly unfair. I am lacking. In the new America you are required to give to those ud is without.
So pay up ;)
Yes, I could much more easily get away with telling all of my friends and family that I'm voting third party. Even the Libertarian Party is not the dreaded "Republicans". Unfortunately, there is no viable third party as of yet, and I don't see one developing any traction any time soon.
Grrrr....
“Give to those of us who are without.
(I need sleep..._
A few observations: maybe you live in a part of the country with no telephones, but I am skeptical of the legitimacy of this as correspondence with your in law.
Next, it’s like an old quarreling couple. No one is getting disowned while writing encyclopedic letters back and forth.
And just to throw in a political comment. When they talk about a business man’s “fair share”, just what is being shared by a welfare family that gets their food, clothing and shelter from other people, and works not a day in their lives? Our morality in this country is 180 degrees backward.
Yeah, I caught a little flak on the last go round. I do understand it to an extent. If I and a few million others like myself had "seen the light" four years ago, we wouldn't be in the mess that we're in now. I can see how people might be a bit po'd about that. If they knew my influences throughout my entire life though, they wouldn't hold me responsible at all. I grew up deep "Behind the Blue Wall"!
I read almost all of it — just a little speed reading here and there. I am impressed by your depth of commitment to principle, and especially impressed by the final several paragraphs. Wow. Your wife is a lucky woman. And your father-in-law needs to give you respect.
Not sure what you mean about the “legitimacy” but it’s certainly real. I would NOT want to try to have this conversation on the phone because it would devolve into a screaming match very quickly, and things would be said and later regretted.
But you’re probably right; as long as there is this sort of exchange, no one is getting disowned. That’s why I initiated it.
So pay up ;)
Cin we jus do the blood brother thing? I don' wanna give up no skin ;-)
Dreaded republicans my rear end. The election was lost with 51% going to Obama because of a straight racial black vote. Get off your damn knees and grow a pair like a man.
Once again, I am at a loss as to how a non working bunch of bums on welfare can possibly bitch about not getting enough enough from people who earned what they have. Republicans are not dreaded, but they are idiots.
It’s the welfare bums who are not doing their “fair share”. In fact, they aren’t doing anything.
Thanks for making your way through it and the kind words.
I see many contradictions in the words that are in italics.
I guarantee you that if a black conservative born in Africa were to run for president, and it looked like he might actually win, the liberals would put the NBC issue front and center.
No offense but for a learned man your FIL is quite the koolaid drinker. I don’t believe that he missed a single PMSNBC talking point. So you certainly have your work cut out for you!
Good luck.
The election is over and he got what he wanted. Why can’t he be content with that and leave you alone?
I do not see the basis for a screaming match in any of this. Maybe a long nap. I do not believe this is actual correspondence with your in law. Just me.
Oh OK... (fine be that way...)
But I draw the line at doing a live duet of Ebony and Ivory. I would not want to embarrass both of us ;)
And BELIEVE me. If you ever heard me sing, you would be embarrassed for both of is.
I read enough to know he’s hopeless. A moron. Don’t waste any more of your time.
If he has a lot of money, butter him up. If not, just be polite.
Grrrr 2
Is = US.
That’s it. I’m going to bed. I can’t type straight anymore.
I was thinking much the same. His entire email to me was just a recitation of what you would probably hear in the course of a week or so of watching MSNBC. I think I tried to base my arguments in my actual experiences and raw data.
That is a ridiculous vanity, you dredge up every issue in the world in a book length vanity, from pot, to birtherism, to slavery, KKK, corporatism, and on and on and on, and then ask people to respond.
What are we to say? What is the subject here? What is the theme, do we just all start going off on everything at once, with the pot guys going on pot, the birthers getting into their area, the people who are interested in the civil rights parts, slavery, and the KKK history jumping in, Romney, Obama, American exceptionalism, OWS, what are we supposed to be talking about?
It's amazing to me how the Democrats have managed to steal credit for being the "friend of the minorities" when it was the Republican party who consistently made all the first moves and had to ram them through. Both parties should be accountable to all citizens; and all citizens should be able to vote as they see their unique set of interests reflected in one party or the other from time to time. Unfortunately, many see their political party as a religion.
