Just wrote the following letter to the Seattle Times. Hope they print it.
Is it so impossible for the Left to believe that someone can actually earn their success by hard work and intelligence as well as solid ethics and virtues, especially if this person is a black woman and a Republican? Since the President chose Condoleezza Rice to replace Colin Powell as Secretary of State, I have heard many derogatory comments from liberals about Condi, ranging from her being a yes-woman puppet of Bush, to some vulgar comments that she slept her way to the top.
This is typical of what the left has become. When a truly brilliant and accomplished woman who overcame the obstacles in a segregated South to become the first black woman and second consecutive black to hold the honored position of Secretary of State she should be applauded by Americans of all political stripes, not tore down in the same fashion that Democrats went after Justice Clarence Thomas.
I hope that by the 2008 elections, people of color, realize that the party that truly recognizes their accomplishments, and that gains nothing by their enslavement in poverty is not the Democratic Party.
Feel free to copy my Letter to the Editor (post # 153) and send to your local paper. Or write one of your own. The word must get out. The real racist are on the left.
Absolutely wonderful letter!!!! Great job
