SCREW YOU!!!
How many parasites in a throng? Is a horde greater than a throng or is a mob greater than a mass? I can't keep track of the Liberal Crowd Sizing Scale.
Its only been 137 years since it was abolished---at the cost of 600,000 American lives.
This must be an offshot of our litigious society...sue everybody that has a few dollars.
I guess they figured the liberals had gone about as far as they can go taxing (redistributing the $$) the working family to death so now they try this approach.
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.
Tarrant County (county seat is Fort Worth) is well over 200 miles north of Houston. Perhaps Houstonians don't need Mr. Bell to tell them how to run their affairs.
I think every citizen, in every City, in every State should get reparations for all those years we poured Trillions of tax dollars down a proverbial hole in an attempt to make them self sufficient. Well! Guess what? You got it!
To date I have seen no record of how Houston City Council voted on today's slavery reparations measure aside from the 8-7 numerical figure. Based upon their newspaper comments, political leanings, and indications of support for the measure, here here are my estimates of how the vote broke down. Please be sure to thank the council members who stood up to Lee P. Brown and his reparations shakedown artists.
COUNCILMEN LIKELY OPPOSED TO THE REPARATIONS BILL:
Bruce Tatro (indicated opposition in media quote)
Addie Wiseman (indicated opposition in media quote)
Gordon Quan (indicated opposition in media quote)
Michael Berry (publicly smeared by reparations crowd for voting no)
Bert Keller (normally votes conservative)
Mark Goldberg (normally votes conservative)
Mark Ellis (normally votes conservative)
Shelly Sekula Gibbs (normally votes conservative)
COUNCILMAN LIKELY IN FAVOR OF REPARATIONS:
Mayor Lee P. Brown (sponsored the resolution)
Annise Parker (indicated support in media quote)

Regarding term limits, the mayor's minions have been trying (but not effectively) to overturn turn limits.
Had it not been for term limits, we may have had Bob Lanier himself rather than Mayor Bob's puppet.
Mayor Bob has been running polls to see what candidates may be good to run in 2003. Why would a former mayor, outside of the operation, care?
In studying my family history, I have uncovered the fact that I had at least 6 members of my family who served the north in the Great War to Free the Slaves.
Of these, one was killed at Cold Harbor, two were wounded, and one of those who were wounded was taken prisoner and later perished in a southern prison camp.
And one, George G. Meade, was the Union General who defeated Lee at Gettysburg, the turning point in the war for YOUR independence.
I figure my family deserves some compensation for their sacrifices on your behalf. Please contact my attorney, Johnny Cochrane, for instructions on how much we figure you owe us and where to send the check.
"We are still experiencing the aftershocks and backlash of a system hell-bent on subjugating and denigrating our race. This country owes us for the ongoing emotional assault on our people," Bell said
If a white person had used the phrase "denigrating (y)our race" I would have expected one of you idiots to step up to the podium screaming that he was talking about exterminating blacks.
