Who are bigger scoundrels than Sens. Schumer and Kennedy?

Conyers and Rangel, that's who. Damn it, these two would do everything Schumer and Kennedy would do, plus about a dozen other things that even Schumer and Kennedy would NOT do, such as associate with communist groups and praise Saddam's sons.

One could make the argument, that Americans should be just as suspect of the blacks that by their silence and votes support the CBC, as we should be of Muslims who by their silence or inaction, support the militant Islamists amongst them..

Personally, I have made a concious decision to be distrustful of both groups..

The Nation and our fundamental characteristics at risk from both groups...

Proverty pimping and welfare leaching blacks being championed by their race baiting CBC - and radical Islamists....

Shaking head in bewilderment.

You have a point, but I'm willing to cut Rangel some slack. He did fight for his country in Korea earning some medals doing it killing commies. All Kennedy has done is kill some poor, innocent woman.

"Shaking head in bewilderment."

Once you recover...
Be kind enough to point out exactly what "bewildered" you..
Rational observation of events and actions?
Semper Fi

As an American black, the whole thing.

Does your bewilderment extend to:
1. The racist positions taken CONSISTENTLY by the CBC?
2. The racist positions taken by the NAACP?
3. The racist and anti-America positions taken by highly visable black politicians and leaders of black militant "religious" organizations?
4. I could go on, but you get the drift...

When will you start thinking of yourself as an American, and not an American black?

The CBC doesn't speak for me.

2. The racist positions taken by the NAACP?

The NAACP is anathema to me.

3. The racist and anti-America [sic] positions taken by highly visable black politicians and leaders of black militant "religious" organizations?

I've said numerous times in my 2+ years on FR that American blacks are in a Marxist laboratory.

4. I could go on, but you get the drift...

I got the drift a while ago.

When will you start thinking of yourself as an American, and not an American black?

As stated on my profile page, I am American in the first degree. I mentioned my being an American black to give you a frame of reference for my bewilderment of your post which I initially responded. You said, and I quote, "One could make the argument, that Americans should be just as suspect of the blacks that by their silence and votes support the CBC..." Well, that's a sweeping statement, seeing as how there are American blacks this statement would make suspect, even though we haven't done anything wrong.

But I guess that just doesn't matter.

Blacks and Muslims? I guess I know where I stand with you...

Proverty pimping and welfare leaching blacks being championed by their race baiting CBC - and radical Islamists....

And of course, based on your measured opinion, most blacks are on welfare, right?

Easy to paint when you have a big, fat, broad brush, ain't it?

That is an uncalled for and unsupported generalization. Granted most (90%) of the blacks are in the court of the CBC, but we need to make an exception for those conservatives who have shaken off the grip of the Marxist leadership.

Black conservative ping

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.

The majority of welfare recipients are rural whites.

FALSE STATEMENT. The majority of AFDC recipients are NOT white

From US Dept of Health & Human Services (Table 10, breakdown by race), we have:


TABLE 10

AFDC FAMILIES BY RACE OF NATURAL OR ADOPTIVE PARENT

OCTOBER 1995 - SEPTEMBER 1996

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RACE OF PARENT!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOTAL                                                           NATIVE       UN-

STATE FAMILIES WHITE BLACK HISPANIC ASIAN AMERICAN KNOWN

---------------- --------- ----- ----- -------- ----- -------- -----

U.S. TOTAL 4,553,308  35.9%  36.9%  20.8%    3.0%    1.4% 2.0%

There are more black families on welfare than Whites, and Blacks plus Hispanics make up 57% of the total

Keep in mind how many Black Muslims there are, and where their sympathies lie.

I'm glad somebody gets it. When the BC went in lockstep to proclaim that G.W. would never be THEIR president it was a pretty good sign that they would vote AQ than ever give a nod of approval to Pres. Bush. And since Cynthia McKinney was being financed by them it was evident.

And at http://aspe.hhs.gov/hsp/AFDC/baseline/3characteristics.pdf on page 13, table 3.8 gives a breakdown by race over the years 1983 to 1996. The white component has varied, but never rose above 40.8, and in 1996 stood at 35.9

What the LIEberals do is they add the Hispanic totals to the white totals when it suits their purposes, like when the FBI counts Hispanics as white when they are the purpetrators of crime, but Hispanic when they are the victims

The majority of welfare recipients are rural whites.

In numbers maybe; in percentages, I don't think so!

We're told that only 10% of Muslims are of the fanatical militant Islamist type --- yet the 90% "moderate" Muslims seem impotent or unwilling to remove or destroy these murderous lunatics from their midst...
This "10 %" lunatic fringe has launched devastating attacks against America and Western Civilization

So where the Muslims are concerned - we have gone to war in two nations to defeat the 10% lunatic fringe, because the 90% majority of Muslims could not/would not "contain" them..


We see that 90% of blacks support the "democrat" party, even after decades of failed programs and broken promises..
A party that puts self and power above the best path for the Nation... Selfish, personal gratification - above Nation..
There is less hope that the 10% non-"democrat plantation" blacks stand any chance of ever "containing" their "lunatic fringe"...

We see the major "black organizations" continue to bitch and complain about the most inane "slights" and "unfair" tests or standards ---- while remaining SILENT on the crimes perpetrated by black on white in Zimbabwe or black on black genocide throughout the sewer that Africa has become, black on black crime in our cities or the culture destroying >70% unwed birth rate amongst blacks.

So - if I elect to be cautiously suspicious of all Muslims, or blacks (until proven otherwise)- as a form of personal self defense - I'm a racist?

Is there ONE predominantly black organization that is countering the devastating racist behavior of Jesse, Al, PUSH, NAACP, BCC, etc.....

For those blacks that have thrown on the yoke and inferior mentality of slavery - I commend and respect..
It may shock you to learn that I have served proudly with proud blacks who thought of themselves as American Marines (not black Marines), have blacks in my family and have both blacks and Muslims in my closest circle of friends...
Admittedly - not many - and at my advanced age, I am becoming less inclined to take the effort to pursue others.

Yes, perhaps it could be said I'm painting with a broad brush....but when you need to cover 90% of a huge and potentially dangerous wall - you don't use an artist's brush...

Semper Fi

...have blacks in my family...

Okay, let me get this straight.

Here you say you have blacks in your family. Wonderful.

But let's go back to what you said previously:

One could make the argument, that Americans should be just as suspect of the blacks that by their silence and votes support the CBC, as we should be of Muslims who by their silence or inaction, support the militant Islamists amongst them.

Now I have a question. Are you just as distrustful of your black family members (since they are black after all) as you would be of a black person like mhking or myself who don't fit your distrustful description? Remember, just looking at us you would not know what our politics are.
