Too bad this group lacks self-esteem, energy and initiative. Too bad they define themselves as the group that Whites hold back.
Until they get over their self-dislike, they will not do well.

Yes, he was Lt. Gov. of Maryland, and is often on Fox News. (I didn’t intend to leave out Clarence Thomas, it’s just unlikely that a sitting Supreme Court Justice would be appearing on such a panel.)

You should see this site showing McDonald's support of the Latin Scholarships (over 15,000 given out only to Latins). Also, take a look at the stencil they say young latinos should be spray painting on walls in their neighborhoods (first getting permission of course).

I can't for the life of me figure out where the link is to their caucasian scholarship funds....anyone have a clue why McDonald's supports certain racist agendas but not others?

I am through with McDonald's and I will never spend another dollar there (even on road trips)...lol

“You should see this site”

Un-Believable. At first I thought it was Mexico’s McDonald’s site, only to discover their links go to OUR government sites.

I DO NOT patronize Mickey Dee’s now, and will continue.

Senator Hillary Clinton will speak live on C-SPAN at 4:30pm CT.

On stage now - putting the crowd to sleep.

This was replayed on C-Span last night. The whole malt likker-lead-manganese rant was the funniest and scariest thing I’ve seen in many a day.
Funny because they really believe it...
Scary because they really believe it...

I was extremely disappointed that the token (barely) conservative panelist (Lt. Gov. from Maryland?) had absolutely nothing to say about how ludicrous and counterproductive such ranting is. They all just basked in the adoration of the nutty crowd.

Right, it kinda reminds me of those posts at DU where someone will ask “What does LIHOP mean?” Then, after it is explained, that poster just disappears, figuring he has landed in a nuthouse.
