Yeah I have cooled down and your short list is correct.

I was brought up with this hope in the fifties that the spread of information, free speech with some real publication, FOIA's....these tools would somehow insure that the truth be told.

We have more information available at our fingertips than ever before and the jackasses just keep on getting air time! ha

Just as an aside, Bachmann is really really really promising a round up of ten million people and Santorum backs her up in this crazy idea.

Why not start by making these 'illegals' all wear stars on their outer clothing?

Be kind to your blood

Be kind to your blood pressure and let go of American exceptionalism: there are plenty of embarrassing goofballs that run for higher office in lots of other countries, too. Look, we haven't elected a Berlusconi yet (or Cicciolina for an even better example) though we have had a B actor president, assorted Sony Bono Michelle Bachman type congresspersons, etc. Hahaha.

We are equally pissed.

I get it.

My reply seemed accusatory.

It was not.

I was just attempting to put the breaks on my own internal racism that is unconscious in intent...at least I hope it is unconscious.

I was watching a panel (last weekend?) on which Vernon Jordan appeared. I love that man. He is the type of speaker that makes me proud of America.

My real anger is aimed at repubs who deny the first decade of this new century; denial of the sins of the banks and mortgage institutions; denial of a war mongering executive power; denial of an economic system that favors the very very rich; denial of a political system caught up in bribery and extortion....

No, I never read you as being some irrational racist. ha

It is so easy to spot those bastards. hahahaha

Cain allowed white Republicans to use his "brainwashing and "lynching" as cover for attacks on black voters. For years black Republicans have called said that black Democrats were trapped on a plantation. Black republicans used the attacks knowing how white Conservatives would interpret their words.

Steele was incompetent as RNC chair. Steele had financial issues and factual issue problems as RNC chair. Steele claimed that Obama started the war in Afghanistan. Steele was an idiot. His hip-hop style was offensive (see photo).

Democrats have had, and will continue to have internal conflicts about issues of race, sexual orientation and gender.We fight each other and then come together, that is the modern history of the Democratic Party.

The comment about Powell was an attack on Limbaugh and the GOP "think tank" that tried to usher Colin Powell out of the GOP. Powell was not the target of the criticism.

Oh my head is buzzing from this comment rmrd.

I don't care what party Colin is in. He has earned the respect of all Americans.

He attempted to work some sanity into the Dept of State but w and rummy and dicky just sneered.

He made one big mistake at the UN but he admits it today. And his former chief of staff

is on MSNBC all the time and I really like that guy.

Biden made some real mistakes but over all Uncle Joe is a great man and that is how I feel about Colin.

Steele pisses me off from time to time; but HE KNOWS THE ISSUES; he has his hand on the facts; He reads and writes and work at gathering info. He makes me scream at the telly, but he is not an idiot.

I worry about inserting my feelings on race in my rants.

I do know one thing for sure, regardless of race Herman could actually make Bachmann seem knowledgeable at times.

And that is no easy feat!

Herman Cain is just the latest in a line of Black republicans who have been "an embarrassment to the race. You can read that is the entire human race or other Black Americans in particular. Black Republicans have told the majority of Black American voters that the majority was trapped on the "Democratic plantation". Cain's remarks about Blacks being "brainwashed" followed the same trend. The idea is that the Republican message is not harmful to the economic position of voting Blacks is not seen as a problem. The tax burden on most Blacks would increase under the GOP, but Blacks are "brainwashed"

Cain comes after the buffoon Michael Steele ran the RNC. Steele shows up with a backwards baseball cap and a pseudo-hip-hop demeanor. Steele rose through the ranks to reach the GOP hierarchy. No one would consider Steele to have done a competent job as the head of the RNC.

Alan Keys ran against Barack Obama for the Senate seat in Illinois. People realized how absolutely insane Keys was when Keys tried to articulate his positions.Armstrong Williams got caught taking Payola for endorsing "No Child Left Behind".

Try to name a credible Black Republican..... Crickets.

Colin Powell doesn't count because he supported Obama. Limbaugh promptly said that Powell was voting for Obama because he (applies to both Powell and Obama) was Black.

Black Republicans serve merely as "credible sources" to provide words that white Conservatives can use to attack the Black community. "Brainwashed" and "High tech lynching" are current examples.

Democrats can have uncomfortable but vigorous disagreements about race. Note the Democratic Primary race of 2008. At the end of that knock down drag out debate, Hillary Clinton is our Secretary of State with approval of the majority of Black voters. No Black Republican would dare to challenge the GOP on the issue of racial bias within the Republican Party. Cain rapidly stood down from criticizing the word on the Perry family ranch. Black Republicans know their place.

Cain followed a path that ignorance was okay that had been paved by George W Bush, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann and Michal Steele. Black Democrats do cringe because on most occasions Black republicans who appear on our television screens suffer from a true lack of intelligence. Cain plummeted in GOP polls because of lust. Stupidity was not a criteria for disqualification.

Black Republicans are trapped in a box with little room to object to actions taken by the hierarchy. Critical thinkers need not apply to the GOP.

In reply to Great rant, Mr. Day. Makes

My own mother's name is Gloria. ha

I feel bad for Gloria. She seems like a really nice woman. A pretty woman. Nice smile.

And this type of behavior goes on regardless of party politics.

It is when these hypocritical bastards with 'family values' get caught and then deny, deny, deny...

Oh well.
