Biscuit Head sent me a link to this crazy shit, but was unable to respond cause I was busy with the grandkids this weekend.
On Conservative Grapevine they had a link to the following post on a blog called Alarming News

Black conservatives thinking of voting for Obama…cause he’s half-black, y’know.

Some of the Republicans interviewed, like Armstrong Williams and Colin Powell, well, I could take ‘em or leave ‘em, but I was surprised that J.C. Watts was thinking of becoming an Obamacan:

J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he’s thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he’s still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them.”And Obama highlights that even more,” Watts said, adding that he expects Obama to take on issues such as poverty and urban policy. “Republicans often seem indifferent to those things.”

So, J.C. Watts thinks the Republican party is neglecting the black community. Hmm. That’s funny, because when I interviewed him in 2004, during an African-Americans for Bush event at the Waldorf Astoria in NY, (video here) and asked him what the Republican party could do to attract more black voters, he said they should just keep doing what they’re doing. He didn’t indicate there was any room for improvement and he disputed my assertion that doing what we’ve been doing hasn’t worked. Watch the video, it’s pretty interesting, though my interviewing skills leave much to be desired.

***
I read the article and was just stunned at the colossal ignorance of these so called Negro conservatives.
Williams’ states:

“I don’t necessarily like his policies; I don’t like much that he advocates, but for the first time in my life, history thrusts me to really seriously think about it,” Williams said. “I can honestly say I have no idea who I’m going to pull that lever for in November. And to me, that’s incredible.”

So Negros who supposedly are conservatives and who are suppose to be mature enough to have developed the mindset of being colorblind when it comes to politics are actually considering voting for a liberal Negro because they themselves are color struck!?

I don’t know how long some of you folks have been peeping my little blog but you notice I rarely quote or post anything from many of these faux Negro conservative types because I have always regarded many of them as phony conservatives, with the exception of Thomas Sowell who I regard as the only “thinking” black conservative out there.
No true conservative would ever consider voting for an individual as liberal as Obama I don’t care how black he is suppose to be.

You know what is funny, If Obama manages to con enough white people into voting for him black folks will be no closer to the White House than they are now.
You actually think that Obama will appoint more minorities to the courts, or have more darkies in his administration, or even have any darkies amongst his staff or closest advisors. FUCK NO!
His election will not raise educational standards, curtail black on black crime or reduce baby daddy drama.

Obama was hand picked by someone or a group of folks (certainly all white) to try and wrestle the control of the Democratic Party from the grip of the Clinton’s and he has succeeded.
Obama if elected will owe a lot of people favors and I can guaran-damm-tee you people he won’t owe any darkies shit. Hell they did not support him initially anyway they only jumped on the bandwagon after a few victories.

This is why I find it kinda funny on the one hand but sad on the other.
Negros folk STILL feel so beat down and so inferior that for all the talk about getting past race and race issues Negros will rally behind any ole random political darkie just to make themselves feel better.
An Obama election victory will somehow validate their existence or finally make them feel proud.

I am far more interested in black folks who run corporations, who are in a position to create wealth and jobs.
If Negros have this constant need to be “proud” of the accomplishments of darkies shit how about folks like John Thompson, chairman and CEO the computer security firm Symantec; Chuck Phillips, co-president of database giant Oracle, Myrtle Potter, President biotech company Genentech and others like
Richard D. Parsons, CEO of Time Warner, Kenneth I. Chenault, CEO of American Express, E. Stanley O’ Neal, CEO of Merrill Lynch.
These are just the few I know about. If Negros want to be impressed at the advances of Negrodom look at people like these folks who have impressed white people enough to entrust them with their money and potential profits.

Are people still that fucken clueless about the actual impact of a damm president? I don’t ever have to see a Negro President to understand just how far Negros have come in such a short time.
I’ll trade the election of a Negro for President for more young black youth graduating from high school, or fewer gang related crimes or fewer dead beat fathers and fewer ghetto fabulous welfare queens.
If all of these black folks including these retarded Negro conservative frauds were voting for Obama based on tangible evidence that his election will cure all the ills in Negrodom, I’d be all for it. But no, dude “looks like one of us” so lets vote for him.
Yes we black folks have come a long way but we obviously still have a ways to go mentally, socially and intellectually.

Another blog talking about this: Black Conservatives: Don’t Fall For It - From Baldilocks

This is by Neal Bortz from the Nealz Nuze section

Barack Obama has been toying with the idea of imposing a tax on windfall profits on US oil companies, and it will definitely be a part of his presidential platform.

Take a look at this latest statement he made in Raleigh, North Carolina. He said,

“I’ll make oil companies like Exxon pay a tax on their windfall profits, and we’ll use the money to help families pay for their skyrocketing energy costs and other bills.”

Gee, that sounds like a wealth distribution plan if I’ve ever heard one. Rob from the rich to give to the “poor.”

Ok .. first of all, just what are “windfall profits?” Does anyone have a handy definition? Might I offer one? Damn right I might. Try this: “A tax levied on a industry by a politician eager to pander to economically ignorant voters who, for whatever reason, are upset with that industry.”

This term “windfall profits” has become another buzzword for liberals, and particularly the Barack Obama campaign. A majority of Americans probably couldn’t tell you the first thing about windfall profits … but the word inflicts these feelings of evil and wealth envy. Therefore, the Obama campaign will continue to use this fancy term to get you all riled up. Politicians are good at that.

Once again we run up against the economic ignorance of the American people. Most people couldn’t tell you the difference between a profit and a profit margin if their flat-screen TVs depended on it. The profit margins – the amount of money they earn for a dollar of sales – have actually declined a bit. Banking institutions, cosmetics companies and pharmaceutical companies are just part of a long list of businesses that earn more than the evil oil companies.

Hopefully most Americans have enough economic smarts to know that the profits from these oil companies belong to the shareholders. Problem is, these people probably think that the shares in these oil companies are fat-cat insiders just reaping millions a year from their investments.

Wrong.

Throughout the oil and natural gas industries only about 1.5% of the stock is owned by company executives. Now this statistic doesn’t come from the oil companies themselves, the numbers – and the numbers that follow – come from Bill Clinton’s undersecretary of commerce for economic affairs; one Robert J. Shapiro.

Here’s what Shapiro has to say about the ownership of the other 98.5% of oil company shares: “The data show that ownership of industry shares is broadly middle class, with the majority of industry shares held by institutional investors, often on behalf of millions of Americans through mutual funds, pension funds and individual retirement accounts.”

So … when Barack Obama talks about a windfall profits tax, just who’s money is he going to seize? He’s talking about taking the savings, investments and retirement funds of middle class Americans.

Pardon my language … but would you folks please wise up out there? Quit being so damned ignorant to what is really going on!

You want more details on just who owns the shares? OK, I have those details. Just remember, when Obama talks about windfall profits — THESE are the people who’s money he plans to seize:

Again … from the Shapiro study:

Almost 43 percent of oil and natural gas company shares are owned by mutual funds and asset management companies that have mutual funds. Mutual funds manage accounts for 55 million U.S. households with a median income of $68,700.
Twenty seven percent of shares are owned by other institutional investors like pension funds. In 2004, more than 2,600 pension funds run by federal, state and local governments held almost $64 billion in shares of U.S. oil and natural gas companies. These funds represent the major retirement security for the nation’s current and retired soldiers, teachers, and police and fire personnel at every level of government.
Fourteen percent of shares are held in IRA and other personal retirement accounts. Forty five million U.S. households have IRA and other personal retirement accounts, with an average account value of just over $22,000.

You see? The people listed in this study are … YOU! Not fat-cat oil company executives. Not George Bush and Dick Cheney. This is YOUR money he’s after … YOUR money he wants to seize to create yet another government entitlement program … helping people buy gas and pay electricity bills.

Someone (perhaps John Wayne) once said that it is too bad stupidity isn’t painful. Well, in this case is just might be. Look at those median incomes above. That’s you, my friends … and if you sit by and let this anti-capitalist leftist rail against the oil companies; if you sit by and let him pander to the ignorance of the American voters with this idiotic “windfall profits tax” crap … then try not to bitch when your retirement doesn’t turn out to be as sweet as you thought it would.

By the way … if you want to call BS on me with these numbers and statistics, by my guest. Here’s the link for you to read the study for yourself.

Knock yourself out, sport.

Glenn Beck: Government isn’t the solution, its the problem. 

Guess what this liberal will be all about? Socializing!

Link: sevenload.com

Kim Preistap breaks it down:

Now, if the US government and the Democrats like Ms. Waters were truly interested in erasing the oil companies’ record profits and helping the American consumers, then they would be doing everything they could to increase oil and gasoline production so as to saturate the market. The price of oil and gasoline would then drop through the floor. Remember when oil was $8 a barrel and gasoline was a mere $.95? Oil companies were merging left and right because they couldn’t stay in business on their own and the price of gas wasn’t on the American people’s radar. If punishing the oil companies is truly what Democrats like Maxine Waters really want to do, then they would glut the market. They would change the law so that the supply of oil and gasoline vastly outpaced demand and oil and gas prices dropped.

But they won’t do that because they don’t care about the American consumers. They don’t want the American people using more oil or gasoline. They want the American people to hurt at the pump so they don’t drive as much. Why? Because Democrats actually think the America people are the problem in all of this to begin with.

The oil executive’s answer?: We’ve heard this before, its called Hugo Chavez. This is a hero of the left. Note to Congress: Read Atlass Shrugged.

Work with me people I’m gonna weave a couple of topics and posts into one confusing one, LOL!

From Hot Air

The latest ad from the RNC takes some low-hanging fruit and makes a feast from it. The ad takes the energy policy of Barack Obama and compares it to the last President that tried it — Jimmy Carter. Obama’s call for a windfall-profits tax against oil companies prompts a history lesson about the results from the last such attempt:

RNC Commercial

MORE READINGPDF - RNC Research Briefing: Why Does Barack Obama Want To Increase Taxes Again And
Drive Up The Cost Of Gasoline On Americans?

BUT NOW WATCH THIS CLIP OF OBAMA….

TEXT: Sen. Barack Obama The Age of oil must end speech

“your great mayor” LOL!

“We fuel our oil addiction by sending over 800 million dollars a day to countries that include some of the most despotic volatile regimes in the world.”

“oil money funds everything from the madrassas that plant the seeds of terror in young minds, to sunni insurgents that attack our troops in Iraq, corrupts budding democracies
and gives dictators from Venezuela to Iran the power to freely defy the international community it even presents a larger target for Osama Bin Laden who has told Al Qaeda to focus your operations on oil especially in Iraq and the gulf area since this will cause Americans to die off on their own”

The clip

Now Bush says this:

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,”

said Bush, in what White House aides privately acknowledged was a reference to calls by Obama and other Democrats for the U.S. president to sit down for talks with leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Because Obama said this….

Obama: “Sure, I’ll meet with Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, etc”

And as Allahpundit noted, from Obama’s own website:

Without preconditions. That means without Iran guaranteeing anything, let alone the big prize of their nuclear program.

MORE OF THIS HERE AT HOT AIR AGAIN

Now I’m confused and I’m the one posting this shit, Obama says to me (Snoop evil dictator) you run one of the most despotic regimes in the world and I plant the seeds of terror in young minds, and you STILL want to sit down and talk to me? What the fuck?
Which is it? Negotiate with terrorist thugs, stop sending these thugs our money via oil, reduce dependency on foreign oil, we need a windfall profits tax to tax the oil companies, oh don’t forget that we have no other alternative energy resources, bla bla bla, yada yada yada.

CONFUSED!?!

Yes I must agree with El Borak, an Obama presidency will no doubt be a fun one blogging wise. Just think the Democrats will fucken have control of the House, Senate and likely the presidency (even if McCain wins the same thing). The Democrats are likely to turn this country back into the Stone Age. And who do we have to blame, Republicans since they are a bunch of spineless no guts assholes that refuse to run on and stand up for conservative principles.

With the Democrats in charge America will in essence be imprisoned by liberalism and thus will become the “tossed salad man”

They make this video and then link to a contribution page saying this:

BUNCH OF SLIMY POLITICAL OPPORTUNISTS! Shame on the NCGOP!

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Barack Obama is drawing gasps from pro-life advocates today over comments he made during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania over the weekend. The leading Democratic presidential candidate appeared to back a potential decision by his daughters to seek an abortion saying he wouldn’t “punish” them with a baby.Obama’s remarks are likely to add another reason to the list pro-life advocates are developing as to why he won’t get their
vote this November.

Read the full story here

Let me quickly add something. In the post below I mentioned my baby daughter and I have been critical of her, and she knows it. She has made some bad choices but you know she has accepted her fate 100% and made the choice to have her children and not to abort.
As a result she has blessed me with a beautiful granddaughter.
Despite some less than fortunate choices, she has turned out to be a very good mother and I frankly don’t give her enough credit because i have focused so much on “other issue.” Hey I’m a dad, what cha gonn ado!

So now women are being ‘Punished with a baby? Ya know how fucked up that sounds!
Liberal Democrats particularly jackass Hussein Obama and this statement makes me want to puke.
The notion that a baby is now considered punishment according to Obama is simply repugnant. Idiot liberal piece of shit!

I hope his sorry ass continues to be exposed as the flaming socialist liberal tard he is.

Two weeks since the ABC and NBC evening shows took multiple days before getting around to informing viewers that disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer belonged to the Democratic Party — after every ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news program last year immediately highlighted the party of Republican Senators David Vitter and Larry Craig — Monday’s broadcast network evening newscasts all failed to note, verbally or on-screen, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s party.ABC anchor Charles Gibson announced on World News: “Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was charged today with felonies that could cost him his job and 15 years in prison.” NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams relayed how “Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick…was indicted on perjury and other charges in the wake of a sex scandal there.” (NBC also refused to tag Kilpatrick in a full story aired Friday night.) Over on Monday’s CBS Evening News, fill-in anchor Harry Smith introduced a full story: “In Detroit, a sex scandal led to criminal charges today against the Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, a married father of three.”

The March 14 CyberAlert item by Rich Noyes, “Study: No (D) for Spitzer, Vitter and Craig Always Tagged as GOP,” explained:

The big three broadcast networks have gone out of their way to avoid labeling scandal-scarred New York Governor Eliot Spitzer as a “Democrat.” An examination of the fifteen ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news shows through Wednesday night finds Spitzer was called a Democrat just 20 percent of the time — twice on CBS, once on ABC, and never on NBC. So, how do the networks treat Republicans involved in sex scandals? Always, always as “Republicans.” Looking at the ABC, CBS, NBC morning and evening shows in the days after the most recent scandals broke, Republican Senators David Vitter (July) and Larry Craig (August) were labeled “Republican” on every show (100 percent). Yet for Democrat Spitzer, four out of five news programs (80 percent) have skipped his party identification….

Last we heard from Eliot Spitzer’s replacement, David Paterson had to explain one hotel stay that he charged to his campaign funds that may have been for an extramarital tryst. Now he may have to explain thirteen more that he charged to the state of New York:

Despite owning a house less than 20 minutes from the state Capitol, Gov. Paterson, as lieutenant governor, routinely used taxpayer money to stay at nearby hotels, The Post has learned.Credit-card records obtained from the state Comptroller’s Office covering Paterson’s nearly 15 months as lieutenant governor showed he charged his state credit card for 13 Albany hotel stays totaling more than $2,500 between Jan. 1, 2007, and this past Feb. 18. …

Despite having a state driver to chauffeur him the 20 minutes home, Paterson, as lieutenant governor, sometimes chose to stay downtown because of a busy schedule, spokesman Errol Cockfield said.

“While he was lieutenant governor, Gov. Paterson had a grueling schedule that required him to be near the Capitol for sensitive negotiations, meetings with legislative leaders, and government-related conferences,” he added.

Sensitive negotiations … for what? As Lieutenant Governor, he had as much power as the hotel doorman in legislative issues. Paterson himself noted that he had no role in budgetary matters, for instance. He wouldn’t have cast any votes, and the Governor would have had the veto power. He had no official role in negotiating anything.That leaves it to the imagination why Paterson would have eschewed a 20-minute ride home from his chauffeur for an expensive stay at the Crowne Plaza or Clarion. Why didn’t he just return home and save the taxpayers some money? Isn’t that the reason he and his wife spent the money to buy a home nearby the capital?The people of New York have to wonder when the hits will stop coming. If Paterson has to step down, then Joe Bruno takes over as Governor — even though he’s in the middle of a federal investigation for business dealings outside of politics. Even at that, it would only be temporary, until a special election could be hald. Perhaps that’s what New York needs, as well as a completely new political class.

Even though Barack Obama may become the first African-American ever to represent a major party as the nominee for president, many black lawmakers on Capitol Hill are not supporting him. And that’s creating tensions within the Congressional Black Caucus.More than a third of the black members of Congress are backing Hillary Rodham Clinton or John Edwards in the presidential primary, a stance that puts them at odds with many of their African-American constituents, who, recent polls show, are beginning to shift to Obama’s camp.The Clinton supporters — among them, civil rights pioneer Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.) — have said their endorsements didn’t hinge on race. Instead, they cited long-standing relationships with the Clintons, a respect for Hillary Clinton’s experience in national politics and, for some, geographical alliances with her in New York.

But now that Obama has won the Iowa caucuses and appears poised to do well in other early-primary states, some African-American lawmakers are pointing to the Clinton backers and calling them political opportunists who did not believe in the electability of a black candidate.

From Oliver Willis

Eugene Robinson hits the nail so hard on the head about just how dumb Clarence Thomas is.

There are, as he ought to know, plenty of black conservatives. There are plenty of African American parents teaching their children the same lessons of hard work and self-reliance that Thomas’s grandfather taught him. The black church, I would argue, is one of the more socially conservative major institutions in the nation.

Black America has never been monolithic in its views, but black Americans do vote almost monolithically for Democrats. That wouldn’t necessarily be the case if Richard Nixon hadn’t built an electoral strategy on a race-based appeal to Southern whites — and if every Republican presidential candidate and party leader since Nixon hadn’t followed suit. Just last week, the four leading contenders for the Republican nomination all skipped a forum at historically black Morgan State University. As long as snubbing black voters is seen as smart politics in the Republican Party, black conservatives have good reason to stick with the Democrats.

Robinson goes on to explain why, until the cows come home, black conservatives like Clarence Thomas will be known as the self-loathers they are.

Ok why did I post this, because unlike ass kissing Democrat sycophants like the jackass who posted this crap and the idiot Eugene Robinson who wrote the post piece I think it’s eye opening to read the ridiculous hateful ranting of idiot liberal Negros as they still are bitter that a conservative black man who refuses to drink the “red flavored” liberal kool-aid still is castigated by these ghetto flunkies.

Oliver Willis in case you don’t know is the token Negro at Media Matters and to impress his liberal hippie white boy frat friends, loves to sell his soul to the Democratic Party to show he is the good Negro.

This is on his site:
The views on this site are mine and mine alone, they do not reflect the views of my employer, Media Matters for America

I always find this amusing when I peep this fools site. 

Anywho, Eugene still whines about the Republicans not attending the debate last week and still bitches and moans about the “southern strategy” invented by Republicans to fuck black folks over.
For all the bitching about the no shows I have still not found any idiot Negro who can articulate why not attending some bullshit debate is a swipe at me as a black man.

If you even listen to any Negro on CNN, on Meet the Depressed, or some other liberal pundit shows they still use the “southern strategy” buzzwords, recommended talking points for all black rednecks.

What Tavis and other clueless Negros wanted to hear was crap like Brownback stated, saying the United States should issue an official apology condemning slavery, or maybe more rhetoric about reparations, increasing the minimum wage, more affirmative action crap.

Later in the piece it is even more amusing that idiot Negros still believe Anita “hot lips” Hill and still see her as a the hero of workplace sexual harassments issues, when as Thomas said, that entire theatrical exercise was simply about abortion and using hot lips as a propaganda tool.

Black folks like Robinson, Walters, Smiley, this blogger Willis who receive perks from the Democratic Party establishment continue to write paid hit pieces to ensure that their audience of retards ass white liberals continue to view “free thinking” black men who happen to be conservatives as an enigma and a threat.

It’s not enough that we disagree how to get to the perceived promise land, conservative ideals particularly coming from black folks must be destroyed and buried.
These people can kiss my black ass.

NEW ORLEANS (AP - Link) — Mayor Ray Nagin could be days away from announcing he will run for governor of Louisiana — a move many in this stricken city regard as preposterous.If Nagin runs, he will do so on his stewardship of New Orleans. But this is a city in great distress two years after Hurricane Katrina, with large swaths still empty, an appalling murder rate and a painfully sluggish recovery. Nagin’s disapproval rating stood at 65 percent in a recent poll.

This from Captain’s Quarters, Ya see I told y’all BEFORE Obama entered the race that he was a blithering idiot, but Nooooooo, nobody listens to ole Snoop, I’m just a crazy Negro, LOL!

The primary campaign has turned into a very long dance for Barack Obama, who seems determined to prove at every opportunity that he has two left feet. In New Hampshire, Obama told a crowd that the US military effort consists mainly of “air raiding villages and killing civilians” — which his tone-deaf campaign confirmed moments later to reporters (via The Corner):

Obama defended his push to prosecute a tougher military effort to root out al-Qaida on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, which drew criticism from primary rivals for sounding too bellicose.“Now you have narco drug lords who are helping to finance the Taliban, so we’ve got to get the job done there, and that requires us to have enough troops that we are not just air raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there,’’ Obama said.

Campaign spokesman Reid Cherlin said Obama was not endorsing the current Bush policy, which consists solely of air raids and bombing of civilians.

The NATO troops in Afghanistan would beg to differ. They don’t have a policy of bombing civilians, and the ground troops play a very important role in defending Afghanistan’s villages from the depravities of Taliban control. Perhaps Obama can explain his analysis of military strategy and tactics to the ground troops that get wounded in these battles — or to the families of the dead soldiers who died holding ground against the radical Islamists.

Another must read - ‘This Is The News The World Doesn’t Hear’

Der Spiegel has reflected and led overwhelming German opposition to the war in Iraq practically from the moment of the invasion in 2003. They have often featured George Bush on their cover in unflattering pictures and with negative headlines such as “Power and Lies”, an issue last year in which they declared Iraq lost. However, they finally sent their own reporter for an in-depth tour of Iraq, and the magazine realizes that the world media has missed the story (via Medienkritik):

Since June, Ramadi residents have only known the war from televison. Indeed, US military officials at the Baghdad headquarters of Operation Iraqi Freedom often have trouble believing their eyes when they read the reports coming in from their units in Ramadi these days. Exploded car bombs: zero. Detonated roadside bombs: zero. Rocket fire: zero. Grenade fire: zero. Shots from rifles and pistols: zero. Weapons caches discovered: dozens. Terrorists arrested: many.

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday he would not use nuclear weapons «in any circumstance» to fight terrorism in Afghanistan and Pakistan, drawing criticism from Hillary Rodham Clinton and other Democratic rivals.I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance,» Obama said, with a pause, involving civilians. Then he quickly added, Let me scratch that. There’s been no discussion of nuclear weapons. That’s not on the table.

In the oddest political pairing in memory, the Senate’s lone African-American member, Barack Obama, has become the No. 1 campaigner for the Senate’s only ex-Ku Klux Klansman, Sen. Robert Byrd.

Working with MoveOn.org in March, Obama singlehandedly helped Byrd raise more money for his re-election fight next year than the one-time segregationist had ever raised before.

In a letter to MoveOn members, the rising Democratic Party star praised the one-time night-rider as a man of principle.

In fairness, by “us” he seems to be referring to the House Democratic leadership, not the left as a whole. For the left a good progress report is no problem at all; they’ll shrug it off, dismiss Petraeus as a Bush stooge who’s probably racist and secretly gay, and go right on pounding on about withdrawal. For the leadership, a good report is a headache: it might encourage the Blue Dogs to side with the GOP to continue the mission, thereby leaving Pelosi with a howling anti-war base and no way to placate them.

(From Newsmax) Civil rights leader Al Sharpton said Thursday black voters should punish Republicans who fail to show for presidential candidates’ forums hosted by the National Urban League and the NAACP.”We can only assume you weren’t courting us,” Sharpton said. “Republicans have to lay out their policies and court the African-American vote. We need to have our interests debated in the market place.”

Sharpton noted there won’t be another NAACP or Urban League conference before the presidential primaries.

“When I was in high school, I may not have gone to the prom with the girl I wanted, but with the girl I could get,” he said, suggesting Republicans leave black voters little choice but to vote for a Democrat.

Sharpton was among a panel of black leaders, political strategists from both major parties and journalists who discussed the black vote in the 2008 presidential election at the Urban League’s national conference here.

Five presidential candidates - four Democrats and one Republican - are scheduled to address the conference Friday. Among them are top-tier Democrats Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, and John Edwards. The lone Republican is Rep. Duncan Hunter of California.

Earlier this month, all eight Democratic candidates participated in a forum at the NAACP meeting in Detroit. The only Republican was Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, a long-shot candidate.

Shannon Reeves, director of state and local development for the Republican National Committee, said his role in the RNC was to get them to understand the black community.

“There are some in our party who don’t want to associate with our community,” he said to groans from the crowd. He added that “black folks had to kick the door open. The Democratic Party didn’t open it wide and say come on in.”

Urban League president Marc Morial said black voters deserve more than “drive-by politics and last-minute appeals to churches.” But, he admitted, “sometimes we aren’t good about getting out to vote.” He said no candidate has talked about black economic development, which is the civil rights organization’s major thrust.

(Snooprant:) I don’t know if white folks truly understand the dilemma black individuals like me are in when it comes to being on the polar opposite sides of the societal and political fence with those with whom you share similar pigmentation.

Now those of you white people who insist on baking yourselves in the sun or the “Easy Bake human oven” to achieve the ultimate Negro tan, you don’t count.

We all know that 90 percent of Negros vote Democrat. No P.R. firm could ever turn that around for Republicans and frankly I am resigned that I won’t see that change in my lifetime.

Democrats invest heavily in the Negro vote, because they absolutely know they can’t win without it.
So when do black folks like me say to themselves “ ya know fuck em, those stupid Negros deserve what they get for following these idiot ass niggas like Sharpton.”

As a black individual it is difficult to stray from that identity that is defined by your skin color.
Because of where I live 24/7 I’m inundated by white people. Here in the Midwest you can go a week and not see any black folks.
Some may argue well people are people, but when you are white, everyone you see, everywhere you go, every social situation, ever work situation YOU see people and not white people.
We see both, not in all cases, hell I’m not obsessive about it, but you do think about it.
What makes it more prevalent is when you enter social situations white people unconsciously let you know how they feel about someone of another color invading their territory.

I know it sounds nuts folks but most of us black folks process this shit. SO when we go to a community where there are actually black people participating in world around you, there is some comfort that comes with that.
We can’t help that.

While in Maryland a few months ago, Mrs. Snoop and I went to visit a good friend of mind. It was cool to see upscale black folks, looking nice, not ghettoized, driving nice cars not acting a fool. There, yes it felt comfortable to me. Now Mrs. Snoop on the other hand, well, the roles were reversed, proving we all (or most of us) have that “racial” chip on our shoulders.

NOW, with ole Snoop that is easily erased when I see ghetto ass Negros with busted weaves, saggy paints, gold grills and 1980’s perms.

While in LA, Mrs. Snoop and I went to this neighborhood grocery story around the corner from our hotel to get a salad.
I was at the food bar when this black dude came around the corner and said “whoa a brotha in the hood, right on!” I turned around and said “you too” basically as if to say hell I’m as shocked to see you and you are me.

On occasion in the white world if you see another black person you give them the extra kinship nod for extra recognition that whew, if a riot breaks out I got one brotha on my side. LOL!

So it is sometimes painful to see the damage that corrupt Niggas like Sharpton, Jackson and other liberal Democrat scam artists inflict on the black community and it is even more painful to see that it is all self inflicted because Negros can’t get of the Democrat plantation, most are conditioned to think in very narrow terms. We are not still in the 1960’s.
“Republicans are racist,” you mean less so that Democrats!? It’s just silly.

It’s painful because even as Conservative and as unapologetic I am about my politics you can’t just say “fuck em”, because like it or not you are identified with the very people you criticize.

Bottom line, no matter how Republican I am, no matter my knowledge of Reagan politics and Conservatism, whether I listen to Rush or agree with Newt to some white folks I’m still just a nigger. They don’t give a fuck about your politics, social status, or place of employment.
So because of that you cling to that racial or I mean (hey there’s another Negro) recognition thing.

So black folks like myself are stuck in “neither-world” we are on occasion confused about balancing racial identity vs. political and social reality.

I had an interesting comment added from Skeetz and with the controversy about the Magic Negro Video I thought I would recycle.

I usually avoid blogging about black “golden boy” Democratic politicians like U.S. Senator Barack Obama because I know I’ll be accused of “player hating,” but I can’t let the hype parade pass without comment.

Barack Obama, the “He speaks so well!” up and coming U.S. senator, no doubt has a bright future ahead of him. But why, I’m trying to figure out, are we reading about his presidential aspirations a mere two years into his first term as senator?

I have a few ideas. First, Obama is “articulate.” No big deal, right? Well, for a black person, it seems to be. At least that’s how I perceive it. Back in 2004 when I was still working a day job at a heavily Democrat-voting organization, the word “articulate” was uttered frequently as white co-workers described Obama’s big speech at the Democratic convention. It wasn’t so much what he said, as I discovered when I read the text of his speech, but how he said it.

In “Barack Obama Goes To Boston,” I gave you my impressions of his speech. He’s a liberal who doesn’t like to be called a liberal. His speech contained nothing breathtaking, groundbreaking, or worth the hyperventilating hype that resulted from it.

As far as I could tell, Obama was just another infanticide-supporting liberal who white journalists — not black people, mind you — declared the “great black hope.”

Second, Obama now has a book to sell. With a fawning and easily infatuated leftist media, liberal authors don’t need to waste money paying publicists. Every major newspaper and magazine is a publicity machine, cranking out the kind of copy that would cost the author an arm and a leg if he/she had to pay someone to write it. I should be so lucky!

The man owns the current issue of TIME magazine. I mean, come on! He hasn’t done anything in the Senate to distinguish himself. He’s just…black.

Nobody’s sent me a review copy of Obama’s semi-autobiographical tome, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, but I know what’s in it. For instance, he’s the product of a white mother and a black father, and he grew up fatherless — like so many American blacks — after his father abandoned him and his mother. He’s done some things he’s ashamed of, like using cocaine. He cleaned up his life, obtained a law degree, went into politics, and — voilà! —he’s currently the only black U.S. senator.

READ THE REST OF BARBER’S POST HERE….BUT LET ME TELL IT LIKE IT TIS…

See people like LaShawn have to be polite, because she is a very good and tasteful blogger and nobody else will say this because it would be considered mean spirited.
But I’m like fuck Obama. He is your typical Negro Democrat flunky.
I had a post on my old blog about an article he had in Time last year where he stated that he saw parallels to himself and Abraham Lincoln.
The fact that dude is a Senator from Illinois, I bet Lincoln is STILL rolling over in his grave. “THAT NIGGER IS WHAT!?”
Lincoln hated Negros with a passion and any black individuals who compare himself to Lincoln is frankly an idiot.
In addition there was his support of Robert “KKK” Byrd:     

Barack Obama Campaigning for Robert Byrd - Link to story

In the oddest political pairing in memory, the Senate’s lone African-American member, Barack Obama, has become the No. 1 campaigner for the Senate’s only ex-Ku Klux Klansman, Sen. Robert Byrd.

Working with MoveOn.org in March, Obama singlehandedly helped Byrd raise more money for his re-election fight next year than the one-time segregationist had ever raised before.

In a letter to MoveOn members, the rising Democratic Party star praised the one-time night-rider as a man of principle:

Think about that for a minute, a fucken KKK racist jackass as a “man of principle”
You know folks, (backing away from the computer, I’m so pissed).
If I as a black man were running for office and I had to lower myself to support a fucken racist that would be the time for me to get out of politics.
I don’t care what the media, Oprah, other bloggers say praising this stooge, he is not fit to represent this nation.
The other funny thing is black folks don’t give a shit about dude, it simplistic white people gushing over his ass.

“In 2006, Senator Byrd will be the target of Republicans because he stands up for what he believes,” Obama insisted. “Will you join me in supporting Senator Byrd’s campaign for re-election?”

The leading black Democrat’s endorsement was a big hit for the former white supremacist, with West Virginia’s Charleston Gazette reporting:

“Nearly $823,000 poured in within 48 hours after Illinois Sen. Barack Obama sent out a fundraising letter through MoveOn.org on March 29 asking people to contribute to Byrd’s campaign.”

Obama has apparently even stumped for the N-word-using Democrat in Byrd’s home state, with West Virginia’s Charleston Daily Mail reporting:

“West Virginians know why Democrats brought in [Obama] to raise money for Byrd’s bid for a ninth term.

“Byrd is acting scared. [Republican pollsters] did a telephone poll of 500 likely voters on March 15-16 and found Republican Congresswoman Shelley Capito is within 10 points of Byrd.”

If the African-American trailblazer has any qualms about endorsing the man who filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act and who disdainfully referred to blacks as “the darkest specimens of the wilds,” he’s keeping them to himself.

For a Democrat it’s ok, but a Republican..Belafonte won’t back down from Powell slave reference

NewsMax.com’s call to Sen. Obama’s press office on Tuesday asking why he was campaigning for the one-time Klansman was not returned.

See Snoop has a long memory and the more I see this bullshit written about him the more I shall expose him.

“We intend to inject ourselves into the struggle for fair access to energy”

HOUSTON (Reuters) - U.S. activist Rev. Jesse Jackson on Tuesday said his organization will target top energy companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. and ConocoPhillips in a push to create more jobs for women and minorities in the industry.

Jackson said members of his Rainbow PUSH Coalition plan to buy stock in 20 of the world’s largest energy companies. As investors, the group will seek change by attending annual meetings, calling for talks with the companies’ chief executives and pressing for fairness hearings at the state level. Read more

Well duh Georgia is a screwed up state when it comes to race, shit they just now are ending “segregated” High School proms for God sakes!
how fucked up you y’all folks have to be in Georgia if you are still sending your kids to racially screwed up schools?

AND I forgot Cynthia McKinney somehow got elected in Georgia, anybody or any community for that matter that would elect an ignorant bastard like her is lacking upstairs. Thank God she is gone but these folks down yander have issues.

ATLANTA ( link)- It is never simple in Georgia, it seems, when it comes to issues of black and white.

After failing twice to make it on time to hearings about her resolution urging that a portrait of Coretta Scott King be hung in the Capitol, Rep. Roberta Abdul-Salaam, D-Riverdale, appeared before the House Special Rules Committee as the legislative session wound to a close.

This time, the committee heard the bill and batted it down. Abdul-Salaam said the move could be compared to lobbing at King the same kind of now-infamous insult that radio host Don Imus flung at the Rutgers women’s basketball team before he was fired.

The comment set off a nationwide buzz and prompted Rep. Calvin Hill, the Canton Republican who is leader of the committee that heard the bill, to defend the action.

“The request for a portrait of Mrs. King to be inside the Capitol was an inappropriate request to begin with,” Hill told reporters during an impromptu press gathering. “If you’ll notice, the portraits here in the Capitol, with very few exceptions, are portraits of legislators, statesmen and judges.”

Hill also said he was uncomfortable that the building contains a bust of Margaret Mitchell, the author of the Civil War-era novel “Gone With the Wind.”

Even the chairman of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus backed away from Abdul-Salaam’s comments and their implication.

“I use the word ‘racist’ kind of like I use the word ‘love,’ ” said Rep. Al Williams, D-Midway. “I’m sure what I’m talking about when I use it.”

But Abdul-Salaam’s measure and other racially charged issues - like the failed, bipartisan attempt to issue a statement of regret for slavery - show that the shadow of race still falls heavily on the state’s politics. In the past three years, racially divisive fights have broken out over voter identification measures, commemorations for non-government black figures and the slavery statement.

This is a portion of an entry from Right Wing News, keep in mind that this is a site that I read often and links to a lot of his posts. But this is the general feeling of the white bread blogsphere.

On the one hand, I think Don Imus is an obnoxious creep. In addition to that, he’s to the left-of-center, so watching his being publicly flayed alive in a slow news cycle because of comments about “nappy headed hos” and “jiggaboos” on his show is generally fun for me.

On the other, I am sick and tired of the sort of political correctness and double standards that demand that guys like Imus prostrate themselves in front of anti-Semitic, worthless sacks of crap like Al Sharpton. Well, at least it wasn’t Jesse Jackson, right? In fact, if you think about it, this Imus appearance with Reverend Al is almost like one drug dealer taking over another’s territory. It’s like a silent acknowledgment that Al Sharpton has supplanted Jesse Jackson as the biggest race hustler in America.

Yes because as I said the media has trotted out (yes, race hustlers) to the forefront of this issue, Imus will be laughed off and the issue will fall on deaf ears.

Trust me I am as aware of anybody that white people say crazy this shit all the time.
Those of you who remember the old show All in the Family remember how white liberal types were outraged that such racially insensitive language was use in national television.
But I liked All in the Family because I believed that Archie was not this lone wolf who grumbled and moaned at the mere existence of niggas in his neighborhood, his behaviors were more typical of the average white household.

The lily white media and the blogsphere want this to go away, because of the “evil political correctness” that permeates our society.
Rednecks will use this overused term to cry foul that one of their own is being dragged through the mud.

Sharpton and Jackson’s past no doubt will trump having a mainstream on-air personality throw out racial bullshit with no restitution. Basically “those two niggers have used racially insensitive language in the past, so what tis the big deal with Imus.”
I have read countless comments.

Until Jackson and Sharpton die off, people will n
