I find it hard to believe that most blacks feel such values ought to be practiced. To think otherwise is to assume they are simply stupid. I am generally Republican and conservative in my sympathies. Yet I won't knowingly support a Republican that is more liberal that his foe. I will conceed to making mistakes in my life (Nixon v. Humphrey was the most egregious). Yet I'm not insane, and I don't think I'm more stupid that your average voter. You can't keep doing the same thing year in and year out and expect different results. You have to believe in the object of your support.
The only thing that makes any sense to me is blacks don't have a belief in a strong family. They don't believe in a good education for their kids. The same is true in any issue you care to name. I refuse to accept that the majority are simply stupid.
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.
Let's pretend liberals could do to whites what they've done to inner city blacks:
First they would offer teenage white girls a free apartment and the same income their parents lives on. The catch: the teen has to have a child out of wedlock. ( What works in the short run destroys the persons life in the long run - but teens don't understand this).
Then, because young men aren't needed, liberals set up programs for them. Being a surplus person can lead to drug use, which leads to more crime, which leads to more programs, and more jobs for liberals.
There is one former KKK member in congress and he's a democrat.
Did these children die at the hands of minions of the Ku Klux Klan? Were the killers unleashed from conservative Christian colleges? Did the stereotypical bogeyman of black liberals, a cold, callous white male corporate executive, pull the trigger? The children died because black liberals, who continually espouse "protecting children," have come to accept a certain death toll every year as a permanent reality. The culture of black liberalism does not even advocate lengthier terms of incarceration for drug traffickers -- even if that means children will die because repeat offenders will be freed to eventually prey again.
He's actually partly wrong here with McCall being the only Black Dem running for Governor, and is missing an even more aggregious example. Nevada's Democrat gubernatorial candidate is State Sen. Joe Neal. Neal is African-American, and he is also utterly ignored by the DNC and even the state party saying "he can't win." Neal's biggest mistake in the eyes of the party ? Why he committed total apostasy by endorsing African-American REPUBLICAN candidate for Congress from NV-1, Lynette Boggs-McDonald ! The horror ! They ain't gonna stand for uppity "negroes" like Sen. Neal daring to exercise some independence and THINK for themselves ! Disgusting. The DNC is hoping to quietly see him buried on Election Day and that he will be forgotten about, and on the former part, he will be, but on examples of the latter part, this sort of treatment should NEVER be forgotten, and the GOP should use these examples when going into the Black Community to make their pitch. Sure, the Dems want their votes, and maybe giving them some legislative offices and perhaps even a token lower statewide office, but in most cases, they ain't gonna run one for the top slot -- uh, uh, -- don't wanna scare the "straights" (i.e. "the white folk"). Take a look at Georgia, for example, where the Dems (still really White-run) are trying to expand the number of Black Congressional members (up to 5) and who already have 2 in statewide office. What's going to happen when they rightfully make demands to run for the top job (or U.S. Senate ?), especially in what will be a close contest ? Yup, you guessed it. When Ron Kirk loses in TX on Tuesday, watch as the Dems gnash their teeth and privately vow not to run another Black as their candidate for a LONG time (and how it was a mistake to have run him -- shoulda gone with that Ken Bentsen fella). Another example of "we'll let you get close--but..." is here in my state of TN. State Rep. Lois DeBerry, the first Black female elected from Memphis, has been in the House for 30 years come January, and she has been in the leadership since almost day one. In fact, she has outlasted practically all of her fellow leadership colleagues from the time she was elected, and should've long ago ascended to the position of House Speaker, but, uh-uh, not gonna happen, she gets to play "Speaker Pro Tempore" for which she's held for an astonishing 16 years, and will likely hold until the Dems finally lose their majority which is built on a house of cards (profound gerrymandering -- the Dems now get a minority % of the vote to maintain a 57-42 edge). The White Dem powerbrokers wouldn't dare put DeBerry in the top slot, since they believe they'd end up in the minority by the next election. So much for their usefullness... With apologies to Malcolm X, Blacks didn't land in the Democrat party, the Democrat party landed on them, and as soon as they get out from under it, the better off they will be.
