Messiah O'bama could select Howdy Doody as his Veep and the sheeple will still vote for him. As we say here in Texas, he's "all hat, and no cattle." Without a teleprompter, he doesn't have a clue about anything. Which tells me a lot about the people who would even consider voting for him. Sure, he's an eloquent, preacher-man speaker that can stir up the crowds, but so have been a number of other leaders [sic] of the past, namely Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, ad nauseum.

Yes, what we need is another man like George Bush. He knew what to do after September 11th. Within 24 hours of that barbarous atrocity, he had ALL of Osama bin Laden's huge family here in the United States rounded up - and quietly flown back to Saudi Arabia. No need to waterboard them, what could they possibly know about Osama bin Laden? And he didn't let Saudi Arabia off the hook either, even though nearly all of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis; no sir - we attacked Iraq. "W" created Homeland Security to oversee our borders, and deliver help at a time of crisis. What's that? After spending hundreds of billions on security since September 11th, we now have an additional 18 million illegal aliens residing here? But wait; at least the Federal Emergency Management Agency performed well. What's that? What do you mean the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrived on the Gulf Coast days before FEMA showed-up. After 9/11, "W' appointed the former head of the Arabian Horse Association to oversee FEMA. Now that's smart thinking pardner... Who cares if the USA has run up more National Debt under George Bush than all of the preceding 42 U.S. Presidents combined? Yes, we need another man cut from the same piece of cloth as George W. Bush to lead this nation. Who could argue with that? Incredibly, I used to be a diehard Republican; but King George cured this good ol' boy...

1. No - white people and black people are NOT equal, except in protection under the law.
2. No - white people and black people will NOT get along, because of their inherent anthropological differences.
3. No - black people have proven over the milennia that, left to themselves, they are incapable of 'greatness.'

It has nothing to do with him being black, but that was very very racist for you to make that statement. It has everything to do with his lack of knowledge, his ridiculous plans.
It is also very racist to assume that every white person had "all the advantages".

Well happpybunny, I'm sorry I made a racist comment. I just wrote something to pull your chain. I'm white as snow.

I have listened to southern white people whine like babies ever since I was born, acting like the 15% of black folks out there threaten their very existence. Now, with BOrock so electable and the other side having embarrassed themselves with bad character, maybe they are worried but they will call it socialism instead of race.

Why, I wonder with this big fine world do white people whine so much and roll their eyes about race relates issues, like welfare and political correctness? Most people aren't really prejudiced, they are just lazy thinkers and they didn't care to deal with black problems then or now.

During most of my life black folks worked twice as hard for half as much, but if you listen to white folks a few tax dollars to try to blow some smoke in the black sails is a crushing killing burden. I just don't buy it. My tax burden though aggravating is a deal compared to what the rest of the world has to pay.

And anyone with a brain will have to admit that the last 50 years has made leaps and bounds of progress compared to the previous 150 that were run on what sells today as Republican free market ideology.

I have come to the conclusions -- even with today's undeniable progress -- that blacks as a culture, bear their burdens far more gracefully than rednecks. Just my opinion. But I was raised with the rednecks and know their hidden flaws. I know how easy they hate and with little reason. Maybe I AM prejudiced, but it looks like for centuries at least blacks had a historical reason for their angst.

And that renegade black shock jockey you Youtubed is just another of the FOX mentality, selling himself and his solutions by being shockingly anti - PC. He's no magician, but he has a place and he is making a living the easy way -- by saying things too crass and obvious for most people to say out loud. It only has a limited appeal.

We all have to work and think and be self-reliant to get better. B+W rich and poor. We all live by conservative principles or we flame out, and political conservatives don't own those methods of living -- but they will claim them if you're weak minded enough to let them.

Democrats don't try to get people to stay on welfare -- Clinton did more than any president in recent history to make folks work. And if the Republicans had the spine to eliminate it they just blew their chance.

YES WE CAN! Borock is a step up. Let's vote for a change. If we can survive 8 years of a Bush with guns and our checkbook we can survive Obama. McCain is not respected enough by his party to even be obeyed, and his party is the biggest threat to freedom in the modern era.

Guess again noneya. I defy all stereotypes. I'm not a woman, and nothing more than an amateur psychologist.

I don't quite rally for the black race as a hobby, either, although I have lived in a few places that gave me special insight.

The reason I feel the way I do about black folks and rednecks, about the Republican Party and the Democrats, is that I have known and loved members of all those groups enough for them to tell me their secrets. I love to talk with judges, senators, prosecutors, preachers, priests and peons and ask them prying questions about what they really think.

And from that I'll say that I have come to accept political conservatives as the most hypocritical of frauds, rednecks as lovable but unsophisticated brutes, blacks as bearers of a heroic history with profound up sides and down sides, and Democrats as a party that is well-meaning but not nearly smart enough to consistently win against the other side's ability to lie. And any of these groups would go too far if left to their own devices.

But I will say that no matter the outcome of this election the left has won by degree, and for sure there will be no mandate from the public.

Just a few months ago Republicans were loathe to elect John McCain. They still don't love him but they will act like they do rather than lose power. He is the most liberal of Republican candidates and has a history of privilege and ineptness and in choosing him they have come toward the middle far faster than their instinct or wish. He is weak, but realizing a personal dream and by proxy his party is weak and may be facing a nightmare.

While Manning may be an extremist, I like the way he thinks. The black people have a lot more advantages now than the white race, many just chose not to take advantage of their opportunities. I was raised in the North until I was 11, then in Vidalia. The culture was shocking to me but I became accustomed to it. I am not predjudiced by any means I just call it like I see it.
There is no white college fund, no white colleges, no white chambers of commerce, no white affirmative action.
The fact is, there are many black people that are incredibly ambitiuos and make something of themselves, they work hard and make a good life for themselves. They are educated and good citizens. Then you have the other side of the table, they stay in the slums, get involved with drugs, drop out of school, have babies and we pay for all this with our taxes. (I understand that there are white people that also live that way) These uneducated people will vote for Obama simply because he is perceived to be black. They don't understand the issues, it's becasue he is black.
I don't think McCain is the best Republican candidate for the job because he is so liberal, but he the only option that doesn't scare me to death.

Please explain what would happen if somebody started a white college fund...there would be outrage in the black community. If everyone truly wants equality, then everyone should have the same opportunities without being called a racist. Now that experiment would be an interesting study in human behavior. I find your failure to see the obvious completely fascinating.
I never said I was oppressed, nor am I a true Southerner, I have spent half of my life in the North.

Still, you failed to answer my question. What would happen in such an instance?

Posted by Yeahuhuh (anonymous) on August 22, 2008 at 3:30 p.m. (Suggest removal)

"Black people have more advantages than white people,"

If you want a government job, or a government grant, I think that there may be a tiny case that the black applicant may have a tiny advantage in a few places and with some types of grant. But on the way to driving to that place a white applicant would see better treatment in a thousand places, and I feel that is true north and south. In millions of small majority race businesses the chances are a cousin, a friend or a son will get the jobs or the good jobs, and this situation is what spawned affirmative action.

In all the states I lived in you could get admitted to a college if you had a high school diploma and you could get help with the costs. The only schools I ever saw that excluded any race were white schools before 1964. If some private benefactors create all-blacks schools then so what? State sponsored black schools have historically been created just to keep the other schools whiter, and that's the truth.

It is not the place of government to mirror society's standards -- government can correct them and still be legitimate. Plenty of time people ask government to do things the private sector cannot pull off.

And it is not the place of an affirmative action program that seeks to change a social outcome to perpetuate it in the name of colorblindness. That would be senseless -- flawed logic.

For white people to consume the advantages their majority status gives them, then to demand that government payola works for them by the same proportion, too, seems crazy to me, and a bit whiney.

In fact, why depend so much on government jobs???? They always held me back and invaded my freedom. The striving for government jobs you see in our culture from CCA to law enforcement to sanitation to military to all of it is a tiny faction of what enterprise offers. The health and retirement benefits are nice but not worth the confinement -- a job you pick will not only pay your way but will cap your ambitions. IMHO

If you're black you do stand to be stopped by police more often, hounded by store security more often, sent to prison more often and you will make up more of the military than your percentage of the population.

Go figure. It's easier and cheaper to give a poor or undereducated person a job and some training than it is to put him up out at the CCA facility or imprison them so they can pick up trash on a road gang. Unless someone with more options demands the job or training for themselves on grounds of race alone.

We're not colorblind and we never were.

The issue of racism would have diminished long ago if the black people would let it go. We now have reverse racism. Do you see white people marching around demanding special rights? Does Al Sharpton come a running when a white man is beat by a black cop? Do white people burn down their community when they feel a social disjustice has occured? Nope. I know there are many people in the South that will always be racists simply becasue of their redneck heritage but this is a problem nationwide.

If the lady had not been proud like she was at that moment then go figure.

Pride is the first of the seven deadly sins, but I know a lot of people think that doesn't matter for countries. I never could understand why someone would want to require folks to commit a sin in the name of their country. But I'm not a Catholic and that's their rule.

Yes I do see white people going around demanding the rights they get socially as a majority and the rights to equality from the government even from programs designed to even out the differences.

White people don't burn down their neighborhood when an injustice is committed by a public agency. Usually they are well represented by the agency and the injustice is not to their race.

They do put as many people as possible in jail when there is an injustice according to the congress. They say the primary testimony in Congress that was used to make marijuana illegal was the certainty that if it were allowed there would be black men raping white women all over the country. That's history. Look what that has led to in incarcerations.

Al Sharpton is just one of the folks that stands up for blacks. You might not likehimbut nothing requires he stand up for anyone except his constituents. You got a problem with that?

You have a little reverse racism in a few places and all the places I have mentioned that is still is real racism. Both are happening at one time.

Believe it or not, I would rather have seen Hillary in there than Obama. (did I really just say that?)Where did Obama come from to begin with....the woodworks? Who is ACTUALLY behind this brainstorm of his to run for president in the first place?

Noneyah your pride in America is just fine, but your message is kinda nuts. Maybe you're just bad at writing, I don't know.

You obviously are just bristling with some kind of loathing, like what, just because you haven't read Obamas writing or heard him he didn't exist? Like if something isn't familiar enough to you it is illegitimate? Therefore you are offended? Like you want some change in Washington but you want someone who caused the old problems to lead you because you need a familiar face?

And who is Sentas "your people" that you refer to. I don't know what race Sentas is, do you? Happy bunny made the same assumption.

And noneya, you mean that after 200 years of white people being racist and victimizing them, that black folks should not be racist BEFORE you think white folks should be expected to NOT be racist?

I'll tell you how it works. The oppressing majority stops being racist and stops oppressing. 30 to 100 years pass rehabilitating the discriminated minority during which time the blacks realign to face equality by feeling the difference and seeing it. They get training of the sorts that confident optimistic parents give them over generations. THEN nobody is racist any more except for the stupid, the selfish and the folks that expect the other guy to bend more.

I have been around stupid rednecks all my life that figured that 10 years after 1964 the blacks should have forgotten the previous 200 years. It just ain't going to happen that way.

Some respond quickly, some respond slowly, some get left behind for a while and then after three generations or four there is profound difference. In the meantime the racists rail on them claiming they are already equal, already rehabilitated, yet the numbers for income and incarceration show the undeniable truth.

Let's sum up the election this way maybe there is a common ground.

Republicans have been betrayed by GW Bush. He ran us into unbelievable debt trying to make his Reganomics thing work and it was a dismal failure we are paying interest on now. He did unbelievable giveaways to industry, oil and we are all really well screwed now. Jobs fled the country as businesses took their tax cuts and invested them in China instead of US jobs.

Nearly all of the congressmen who were supposed to keep him honest fell in line behind him and just fought for him and his big spending.

Most of the supporters who never do know what Bubya is up to ever acted like they were offended, and evidently if they did call their congressman then they weren't listened to.

So the entire other 50% of us that didn't want Bush have been totally betrayed by the entire GOP. And most of that 50% of Republicans who were offended by Bush and now disapprove of him were betrayed by the party, their congressmen, and the administration.

So now a weak Republican that held even less power than Bush wants the helm, and we are supposed to elect him???? A man disrespected by his party? A man who openly says he will continue Bush's giveaways that have bankrupted us? A man who is as old school Washington as it gets?

I'm sorry. I have some guts. Obama is not any more a socialist, a muslim or a terrorist than Bush. If I were to elect the same old same old it would be out of fear and confusion.

I got cahones. Black or white I will not send the same crew back up there with even less supervision than the last 8 years. Get another bunch of crooks in there to find out what damage has been done.
