What austerity?

“If you…set out to write a social history of the Obama years, one that captured the day-to-day experience of political life,” Chait writes, “you would find that race has saturated everything as perhaps never before. Hardly a day goes by without a volley and counter-volley of accusations of racial insensitivity and racial hypersensitivity.”

I believe this was predicted by Rush Limbaugh (and others) during the election campaign back in 2008.

Assault on Voting Rights, lol. Got ID, show your ID, dunce

Sometimes you gotta prove who you really are, not rely on being affirmative action’d thru life.

Sorry, I just couldn’t get past the excerpt. What the heck is this goofball babbling about?

As far as I could see in what little I read, his complaint is that blacks in America aren’t the center of the universe. And that’s just wrong.

I must have missed where and when the government takeover of the health care industry was called “reparations”

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Dear Jamelle - you are a dupe and a fool. Your precious “first black president” has screwed all of us equally, not just his own race. And because all you can see is the color of his skin, you completely ignore his incompetence and blame your problems on whitey. When black Americans address the issues within their own community (such as fatherless children and lack of education) their lot will improve. Lead that revolution, Jamelle, and someday you could be the first competent black president.

Yes, well the summary of the article is:

*******************************************************
Obama polarized America so that we see his administration as a prleude to inevitable final solution violence.
*******************************************************

I love it when leftist coercive utopians go all whiney.It means that good times are coming soon.

Freedom needs to be brought back , as well as a new respect for the Constitution, and a vibrant economy.

Then the whining will stop until the next suffering , polarizing bastard who defies the Constitution comes along.

I see Slate allows its writers to hide from criticism on the internet by not even providing a comments section.

While their position will still be wrong, I'll accept that accusations that voter ID laws are an attack on voting right are made in good faith when I see documented evidence that the same folks who make that accusation raised hue and cry against the requirements that government-issued photo ID be shown to purchase pseudoephedrin or to board an airplane on the grounds that it would deny the poor, minorities and the elderly access to effective decongestants and air travel. Unless they can publicly document that they regarded photo ID requirement as an impediment to access in those cases as well, I call foul and accuse people who make that accusation of defending voter fraud.
