BTW they are activists not bakers... They spent to much time dealing with Black issues for my money...
WOW... Home girl should read more before you post about Black folks.. Learn somein holla.....lol,lol,lol
The problem isn't with Obama being half Black. The problem is that he is half Irish.
You know what happened the last two Irish presidents? They both got shot. That's why the mainstream media doesn't want to let everyone know that Obama is half Irish.
Or maybe it's O'bama, yeah, that's the ticket, Barack O'bama. He certainly has kissed the Blarney Stone. John Kerry supports him and he is Irish too. You couldn't help but wonder why O'bama praises President Reagan but not President Clinton. It's obvious, Reagan was Irish. He hasn't been saying bad things about McCain either and whether he be Irish or a Scot, both have been a thorn in the side of England for a long time and they both nations play bagpipes. You will not hear O'Bama speak critically of Huckabee either. That's right! You guessed it, Huckabee is ALSO Irish.
Clearly something is going on here that the mainstream media doens't want us to know about. That's right, the mainstream media is controlled by the Irish.
Why else would Conan O'brian have a television program? The Ed Sullivan show debuted the Beatles which led to the rock and roll british invasion, but was it really British? Where does U2 come from? Right, IRELAND! You know that Bono is up to no good with all that do gooder stuff and what other Rock Star advises presidents on global issues? Certainly not Elton John or Flavor Flav!
America! It is time to wake up and smell the coffee! Just make sure it isn't Irish coffee!
I am posting anonymously in order to evade the clutches of the worldwide Irish conspiracy as described in the International Protocals or Blarney, but i doubt that any Irish could catch me, for I am a Leprechan!
HEE HEE HEE HEE!
As a South Carolinian, you may recall how Theo Mitchell, an African-American, beat Ernie Passailaigue in the primary of 1990. Whites did not vote for Mitchell in the general election; instead, they either went Republican or stayed home, and Carroll Campbell won.
Don't let the mirror image of this thing happen if Clinton happens to be the national candidate. We can't afford to leave the White House in Republican hands for four more hate-filled years.
ok..pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeelo,lol,lol
He is not even Bobby. Inspiration does not equal preparation. Pierce that veil of "hope" and what do you see that would give you confidence he can actually pull it off? What gives you the confidence his proposals won't actually result in more of the same? Why would including someone who is hell-bent on sabotaging your efforts lead you to believe you will change things? What do you think is going to happen when the corporate lobbiests call in their chits with Obama?
What makes you think he can prevent the ineveitable corporatate sabotoge and dissapointment when that hope is not realized? We cannot afford to make the same assumptions, and the resulting mistakes again. What galls me is that some people go out of their way to say this is not a racist of sexist choice for them, then say "we want to prove a black candidtate is electable," or "It's time for a female president."
Complete denial. Bill Mahr was spot on when he said Americans like to believe they are less racist than they actually are. Those are very shallow and dangerous reasons to support anyone, much less the candidate for President. We need to get it with both our hearts AND our heads, if you really expect anything to change.
You cannot reason with a bully, and you cannot take money from one--they take more from you in the end. You need someone who has complete recognition of the issues and realistic plans that will implemment and indeed realize what you hope for. That is one reason why John Edwards is being mostly ignored, because the very same status quo fears him.
They do not fear Obama or Hillary.
great post..
This story says a lot more about how eagerly the MSM has bought into the Clinton campaign's efforts to minimize the importance Obama's likely S.C. win by fostering the perception that it was all about race and that redneck S.C. whites ran to Hillary and Edwards because they were terrified by the uppity scary negro.
Obama is not just running against two random white guys from out of state. He's running against the first woman with a shot, who's been consistently outpolling the other two among less educated white women, and a guy who was born there who won the state in 2004.
The fact is, if you're white and are still a Democrat in the South these days, it ain't because you're a racist yaller dawg who didn't get the memo that Johnson sold the party out to them and the Republican party was now the true spiritual home of the Sons of the Confederacy. If you're white, and still a Democrat, in South Carolina today, its mostly because you're actually a liberal. I don't think these folks are supporting Hillary and Edwards in slightly disproportionate numbers because of Obama's race. I think they actually just perfer Hillary, either because of her gender or because they're typical Democratic activists who think we're having an election for a technocrat in chief or Edwards, because he's a local boy whose daddy was a mill guy just like them who is down on the rich people.
If Obama gets the nomination, he may not get many white Republican votes, but to suggest he won't get the votes of the state's white Democrats is the worst kind of stereotyping.
Edwards is a 2nd tier leader at best...No one fears a bureocrat in a suit..
It is true, Obama's historic run is heading south. It is not the expression of racial equality that it should be. That would come only if race was not an issue. Obama has exacerbated racial tensions as Hillary has with denials of gender differences.
These candidates are running for celebrity titles, not for public office. They are being convinced by special interests the prize needs winning at any and all costs, even if it means promising everything to everyone, sounding sincere and sympathetic to all , and never admitting that there is no political mandate from either party to support any policy.
Even a veto proof majority in Congress will not be sufficient. If we continue to play the race, religion and gender cards the parties will disintegrate into Liberal and Conservative divisions much more representative of the disparate nature of national constituencies, even more so than the shift in voters during the civil rights movements of the 60s and 70s.
The last thing we need is another flag-wrapping- shouting- march of hyphenated Americans.
We can solve any problem quickly. We gave done it before. As long as we have the resolve to face a problem without prejudice, and without fear. If we choose to support and defend an American culture, a culture of law and justice, we can keep our gender, our race, and our religion, from government intrusion. If we continue to insist on race, gender, or religion as a qualification for public service we are doomed by our bigotry.
The danger to any democratic state is that one orthodoxy gains the power to interpret the law for all. We have had this happen here throughout our history. We have been able to survive, not by the will of God, but by luck for the most part and the by extremism of most fanatical attempts to change our form of government.
Who we have on the Supreme Court is more important than the color, sex, or religion of the Justice or the candidate for President.
Obama is heading south. Hillary is heading south. We are heading south as a nation if we persist in coloring our history books.
