    You know what, I’ll buy this. Fine.

    But it’s not one-sided. There was and IS plenty of suppression in the other direction, too. Two wrongs certainly don’t make a right, though. Republican Attorney Generals have been engaging in voter suppression especially during the 2008 Election (for all of you ACORN enthusiasts), and Bob McDonnell wants a literacy test for freed criminals to get their rights back, because that doesn’t target a minority at all. And if you say “wow Jade, that makes you a racist,” I don’t care, statistics show that many of those locked up are [illiterate] black males. That’s totally “Liberals & illegal immigrant votes Democrat” convenient.

    PUP – Back to what limited Government – the one that spied on millions of Americans, the one kept records on Martin Luther that King/Ted Kennedy/Al Gore/and probably you & me, the limited Government whose size and power was increased everytime the GOP was in power, and what makes you think the GOP will change if they get back into power?

    Newt taught them that attack and divided works, and that is what they have been doing for the past ten years.

    We are in the mess we are in and the GOP wont change a thing, except Conservatives like you will go back to being quiet until the GOP calls you out for their next attack.

    Yes, racism goes ALL ways! So what the f is new? My dog gets along better with our fairly new cat our son “gave” us, and vice versa, than most any humans of different “orientation”– so maybe if we acted like animals we’d all be better off?

    Studies have shown that a lie will be believe sooner and longer then the truth.

    The reason is simple - a lie is usually designed to get a emotional response, and support a belief or idea that a person already has, while the truth just stumbles along being the truth and wasn’t created to support a postion but is designed to tell what really happened.

    I think the one good thing about Obama being president is it shows how far we really have to go in this country to achieve racial harmony. The KKK has been marginalized and is a joke in this country. No one takes them seriously. Now if Blacks will only let go of the past and their cultural teachings. Young Black men are told from a very young age they’ll never amount to anything. Where are the positive messages in the Black community? Why are those that actually get somewhere called Uncle Toms? Blacks are still slaves, but to their owns prejudices and culture.

    Gore Bane left out the White House in the NBP and NAACP conspiracy….there is a reason Obama has named so many RADICALS to his administration….and a reason the Holder/Obama DOJ dropped a “won” case in court against the anti-“whitey”-“cracker” agitators, the NBP.

    Now the NAACP joined the NBP publicly…and a Democrat Congressman who never, ever watches FOX TV (real) News was caught with his IGNORANCE SHOWING….he did not know about this news reported case but the voters who came to his “town meeting” knew!

    Ergo=voters watch the reality news on FOX, but the MSM is the only source for Liberal/Democrats…and the MSM omitted this news.

    Ramirez is 100% accurate on this cartoon. Blacks can certainly be RACIST….but the MSM behaves like the 3 monkeys….no see, no hear, no say!

    During the “first” Watts riots, my mom’s Uncle lived there, and his black neighbors guarded his house for days. They pointed out that the rioters “Are NOT OUR PEOPLE and DO NOT LIVE HERE.”

    There remains social inequity in the U.S. ,and many black, hispanic, AND WHITE communities are suffering from degraded “self-imge” and their kids propagate the negative assumption adapted by the parents.

    Doctors and lawyers tend to produce kids who want to be doctors and lawyers. On the other end of the economic scale, ACCEPTANCE of the status quo is just as prevalent.

    I lived in a mostly mixed culture for a long time, mostly middle class- and all races were represented. For many decades in this nation, “people of color” WERE suppressed, and it takes time, just like with earthquake or flood, or oil spill recovery- for it all to “work itself out”.

    Israel is in reality still trying to compensate for the diaspora– some cultures take quite a while to truly adapt, and learn to live with others.

    pirate277, you are wrong in your statement. Bartle Bull, a long time Democrat and civil rights activist (and he’s white) stepped forward and freely stated that the men in question got in his face at the polling place. If no one came forward, how did the DOJ win the case? The anger comes from the fact that they DROPPED the case after it was in the bag.

    It is my firm conviction after years of thought and study, that “racism” is a false idea spawned by Satan and sown in the minds of mankind….

    My Bible says God created one father of mankind, Adam, and obviously put all the DNA in Adam that would produce the various ethnic groups on earth.

    So to me “racism” is a lie, and is used by haters to downgrade others in an attempt to make the hater feel superior. Pure SIN and Pure EVIL.

    Any ethnic person can and does use “racism” to slur different peoples, and that includes “blacks”….and perhaps Blacks first used racism against immigrants from Asia and Hispanic lands….and the NBP certainly uses racism against “whitey”…..

    Jesus said “love one another” and “love your enemy”…. Racism is not “love”…..

    dtroutma- Just for the sake of clarity - “DNA” does not suggest that we trace back to a little black lady in NE Africa. The last I read(The Seven Faces of Eve? - a book), there was at least seven key genetic female-forebears to the current human populace. Supposed “ancestral-human special (specie+ial)” fossilization data and the larger suppositions on migration, climate changes, archaeological data, etc. lead some Scientists to assume an earlier denouement of the human race in Africa. No evidence actually “says” that that is what happened; and as fennec has pointed out in general- the conclusion will be subject to reversal as soon as a piece of key data is found that contradicts those assumptions…

    In the aforementioned book, if my memory serves me; genetic testing traced the mothers-mitochondrial? DNA back to seven individuals who lived about 6000 years ago. Imagine that.

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=212978 Correction: in the above article Brian Sykes supports the African ancestor theory and I’m probably wrong about the 6000 year date as well ( apparently the Seven Daughters of Eve also only applies to people of European descent. Which also includes more people than you think).

    I stand by my skepticism in the above post, though.

    Exact geography, nope, but Africa, “6,000 years ago”? nope, all evidence goes back about 200,000 years, so hang up the “Genesis fraud”. (The fraud by the way isn’t the development, but the time frame. LOTS of creation MYTHS follow the same general theme, but aren’t fanatic about the time line. How long IS a minute, day, year, or millennia?) Only psychotics think they are gods, or even in the image of a non-corporeal entity.

    GOD SAID that he created Adam and Eve and from them, all mankind on earth came to be. From that original root came the yellow, white, black and red races and all variant nationalities that exist today. We are called mankind…simply, a kind that is called man. It should be noted that God doesn’t make any negative statement about bi-racial marriages.

    MAN SAID many things concerning biracial marriages with most being very negative. Some pretend to quote scriptures to support their position. But generally man’s disregard for God’s word results in a continued walk in darkness.

    I believe the Adam and Eve Theory contained in Genesis; for many multitudinous reasons - and especially because I have found the words of Jesus the Christ to be TRUE.

    The African Descent Theory is just the latest “theory” that fits the secular-scientists assumptions - the whole basketful of them.

    Barack OBAMA, during his Cairo speech, said: “I know, too, that Islam has ALWAYS been a part of Americas ’ story.” THIS IS AN AMERICAN CITIZENS’ RESPONSE: Dear Mr. Obama: Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians. Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians. Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence ? Bill of Rights? Didn’t think so. Did Muslims fight for this country’s freedom from England ? No. Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as “pug nosed slaves.” Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family’s “rich Islamic heritage,” doesn’t it Mr. Obama? Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present. There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights. Where were Muslims during this country’s Woman’s Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the ‘hajib’ or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women’s rights, aren’t they? Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi’s in killing Jews. Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren’t flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very “moderate” Muslims who’s asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day. And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the “rich heritage” Muslims have here in America . Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim. And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan . That, Mr. Obama is the “Muslim heritage” in America . Muslim heritage, My Ass.

    Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel “pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land”. Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your… asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land”. Now Obama is going to steal your shovel, kick your asses, raise the price of camels, and mortgage the promised land.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to ‘Service’ a few cows.. BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.

    The Two Cow Philosophy :: Political Philosophies Explained in Simple “Two Cow” Terms……. SOCIALISM: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor. COMMUNISM: You have two cows. The government takes them both and provides you with milk. FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes tham and sells you the milk. BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. The Government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours it down the drain. CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. CORPORATE: You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to produce the milk of four cows and then act surprised when it drops dead. DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. The Government taxes you to the point that you must sell them both in order to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow which was a gift from your Government.

    Wow…I forgot to bring my white hoody to the party.

    Katherine Harris Rundle stripped off 100,000 black voters off the roles because their names were similar to felons in Texas.

    Jan Brewer also challenged 100,000 Latino votes in AZ because they were not here legally. When the BBC went to her office to film one of these people getting busted her office said that they have no proof that those people who were challenged were here legally.

    Justice Rehnquist was a guy who made his living terrorizing Blacks and Latinos at the polls. He would come up to them and tell them that it is against the law to not have a birth certificate at the polls and most of them freaked out and didn’t cast a vote.

    Of course Rush said that in Obama’s America blacks get to beat up on whites so it must be true!

    dtroutma,,, Focus like a laser beam on this one …

    Guess WHO I AM

    •I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women •I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.. •Later in life, questions arose over my real name. •My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate. •I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn’t follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny. •I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.. •That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career. •I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child. •I became active in local politics in my 30’s then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for National office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.. •I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks. •I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego. •At first, my political campaign focused on my country’s foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country. •But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country’s economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free. •I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight. •I called mine “A People’s Campaign” and that sounded good to all people. •I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support. •I knew that, if I merely offered the people ‘hope’ , together we could change our country and the world. •So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include “persecuted minorities”. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation’s leader. •I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. •I’m glad they didn’t. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth. • • • • *Who am I ??? * • • • • . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I am ADOLF HITLER WHO WERE YOU THINKING OF? Scary isn’t it?

    Well America, The DOJ decided that the NEW Black Panther party that had members in front of a polling place smacking a Marshal Arts Weapon into their hand and calling white voters crackers nothing to worry about and nothing to investigate and dropped the case against them.

    This same group’s president spent some time on a bull horn telling a crowd that he hated white people and if black people wanted to be free they would have to kill some crackers and some cracker babies.

    Now a Civil Rights group is holding investigations because a DOJ lawyer quit due to the instructions given him to not persue black on white crime.

    Mr.dtroutma,,,If the Holocaust ‘Offends’ You & the Muslim population which claims it never occurred…Well unfortunately you can’t change history !!!… Furthermore, We are on to your Progressive Liberal Rhetoric & Poppycock…….

    Aside from that,,, General Eisenhower Warned Us.

    It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be surrounding villages to be ushered taken, and for the German people from through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

    He did this because he said in words to this effect:

    ‘Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened’

    The UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet.. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

    It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.And six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated’ while many in the world looked the other way!

    Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

    How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ‘NEVER HAPPENED’, because it offends some Muslim???

    FREEDOM ISN’T FREE…SOMEONE HAD TO PAY FOR IT!
