I don’t know whether this bill passed or not, however, isn’t this typical of socialist/liberal thinking...give a person more so he is obliged to do less.

Someone on another thread suggested making the extended benefits sort of like a loan and subject to being paid back. Wanna see how quickly those folks happen to miraculously find work?

HA-ha!

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 democrat party survives by keeping African-Americans in perpetual servitude

The Democrat party is racist to its core.

" "He just wasn't the right man for the job," says a Democratic leadership staffer. "We're in crisis mode. We needed someone in the slot who understood Pelosi, and who understood the party needs. I don't think anyone thought Jefferson was right for the job. In this environment, we just couldn't say it."

Admitting they are in crisis mode! That's when they get really rabid and crazy.

They will do anything to keep themselves in power - no matter who they hurt. In the next election they will pay the flunkies for their votes as they call upon the blacks to go out and 'GET THE VOTE'.

Of course - they always get it and things return to the normal routine of running the Plantation until the next election.

The Democrats love blacks as a voting block but despise them as individuals. In the recent election, the Democrats rather then giving a black, Alan Page, an opportunity to make a name for himself selected a known loser, the DNC pulled the rug from under McCall and Democrats quickly closed the door on Representative Ford.

I believe most of the fury about Lott was to divert the attention of the blacks from the actions of the Democrats to the words of a single Senator.

Once again it is morning in America.

And once again Blacks awaken to the reality of what "respect" means to a liberal Democrat.

And once again Blacks won't get it. (Double entendre intended)

The Dem position: Please be quiet, you uppity Negroes; just vote for us and sit in the back of the bus where you belong; when we want you for something, we will let you know. Sincerely, the Dem Leadership.

The slection of Matsui is a boon for us, bot not because of the infighting - the infighting is mere gravy. Matsui's stock in trade from 2001 on - at least his attack style, has been to demagouge Social Security. In other words, scare the old folks.

Refresh my memory, folks, but hasn't Social Security reform been a winning issue for Republicans in 2000 and 2002? Bush, Sununu, Liddy Dole, and a few others campaigned on it and won. We're in good shape on this - and if Matsui fights on this ground - we'll clean his clock.

Democrats have not elevated minorities to substantial leadership positions, compare this to J.C. Watts, a Republican who served in the leadership of his party before retiring this year.

Watts was promoted because he was good. He ran as a conservative Republican in a predominately white conservative district. All the voters saw was his credentials, not his color. He did a fine job and his constituents thought the world of him. He represented their values.

Rats fighting is one thing, but in my opinion there are a couple of things wrong with this story. Of course, when Rats are involved that usually goes without saying. In the first place, while I do not like Pelosi, she apparently has the authority to choose who she wants as the campaign leader. I am assuming that is one of the perks of her position. When one person "wins" it generally means that others lose. Disappointment is part of life and they need to accept that.

The other issue I have with what was said by the Black Caucas member, an unnecessary and racist "clique" that should have no place in a government which supposedly considers all men equal, is the revealing gall of this statement:

"If our leadership doesn't think we have juice to make their lives hard, then they are wrong."

That is exactly the problem with these black "interest" groups. They think they have the right to call all the shots and consider it perfectly okay to make anyone's life "hard" that doesn't fall in step with their will. It is like an infection that, left unchecked, spreads and festers throughout our society and generates the kind of racist hatred that it CLAIMS that it exists to prevent.

I cannot think of any good that Pelosi will do for any but the whining liberal contingent, but that aside we have to consider, does our congress exist to serve ALL the people or just the black caucas and their clearly racist interests?

Could somebody explain to me how the Republicans managed to orchestrate the elevation of the pathetic simpleton Nancy Pelosi to Democrat Minority Leader? I just can't stop smiling....

Shhhhhhhhhh... we were trying to keep that quiet. She's there for the same reason that Terry McCauliffe is still in a position of power. We were behind that too. Right now we're secretly pouring million$ into financing RevRunt Al Sharpton's presidential bid and trying to get AlGore to reconsider his decision not to run.

Ya know, in retrospect, we should be happy that Hillary gave us that great idea about forming this vast rightwing conspiracy!

My party can't say that, and it saddens me.

Waaaa-waaaaa. Cry me a freakin' river! Are we supposed to care? Watts was elevated because he was good and had the stones necessary to get the job done for ALL Republicans; not just black Republicans (and this would have been the case even if there were "several" black Republicans in Congress).

This whine is yet another spill about position "entitlements" as opposed to a position earned. Even when slapped in the face by the massa, the CB(D)C continues to enjoy their stay on the Democratic plantation. Let 'em stay and kiss feet till they rot. We're working on the more intelligent masses.

I'd love to shake the hand of whoever engineered Pelosi's entre into the leadership position. She was custom ordered for us. Then again, maybe I wouldn't like to shake their hand - it's obvious that they are oblivious to the help Pelosi unwittingly gives us in the long run. Maybe they can give us more unwittingly advantageous decisions...

No kiddin'. I mean, Matsui's a nice target. He's likely to attack us on an avenue that we have figured out how to defend after being demagouged so many times (Social Security - Sununu and Dole won campaigning on reforming that program).

Those leftists are arrogant people, y'know.

derrr. I felt I didn't have to overemphasize J.C.'s qualifications, as Republicans usually do not promote anyone unless they are qualified.

by comparison qualified blacks like Harold Ford Jr. haven't been given the same opportunity by the dems. surprise surprise.

(Ford would have been a very good party leader, I'm glad they went with Pelosi as it is good for us)

while in Bush's case, all the minorities he has picked, right down to Labor Sec. Elaine Chao, have been qualified and competent in their jobs.

Except maybe Norm Mineta, who is a Democrat.
