Racism Extreme on MSNBC
by HairyBuddah, 10:14 PM, 2 Comments
Some poor reporterette on MSNBC started saying something really, really bad. Caught herself, and then stumbled away from her dangerous realization. Here is the direction she was going. Obama is winning states with very low black populations, particularly with lots of college kids and wealthy urban liberals. Obama is winning states with really large black populations. But the higher the percentage of blacks in the state, the lower percentage of white votes he wins. Think about that for a second.... [read more]

Barack Obama's embrace of the idea of direct negotiations is both naïve and dangerous and should be a big issue in the campaign. The reason not to negotiate with Ahmadinejad is not simply to stand on ceremony or some kind of policy of non-recognition. It is based on the fundamental need to topple his... [read more]

Barack Obama's Middle Name
by warrenpeterson, 08:43 PM, 3 Comments
"Barack Obama's middle name is Jimmy Carter." Quote by Steve Beren, Candidate for Congress, 7th Congressional District, Washington State. Could be. During Carter's four years we saw the military weakened, double digit inflation, long gas lines, US support for replacing the Shah of Iran with a radical Islamist (favor repaid by seizure of our embassy), national malaise speech and canceled US participation in the Olympics. On the good side, he did lay the groundwork for Ronald Reagan. Obama would have... [read more]
