Bitter EX you’re a moron. The very definition of the Democratic and Republican parties changes over time. Most of the Democrats or “Dixiecrats” who opposed civil rights supported Goldwater in 1964, George Wallace in 1968 and since 1972 have been solidly GOP. Shawn Hannity always brings up Robert “KKK” Byrd, but the vast majority of the old “Dixiecrats” switched to the GOP because they and their constituants didn’t like the idea of sitting next black people in McDonalds or the “Picture Show.” Yes, the Democrats are having some racial tension within the party, but we have to have the conversation because our party is diverse. The GOP with just a few exceptions is white and whiter. The GOP claims to have a monopoly on patriotism and American values, but as a party they don’t reflect makeup of the country at all. The GOP is nothing more than a coalition between rural white social conservatives who think the world is 6,000 years old and that gayness is plague and your local suburban country club. Ironically, GOP “TALKING HEADS” HAVE THE GAUL TO CALL DEMOCRATS ELITIST.” The GOP is basically an all white party and has the support of most of the top 2% in American society. Hollywood actors and musicians make up a very, very, very tiny percentage of the top 2% in terms of income, but GOP morons attack Democrats as being elitist because they have the support of a handful of rich actors. In general, YALL make me sick!

You libs, the party of “every vote counts…twice” are going to take away your own members right to vote! Coming apart at the seams? I’ll tell you what, let us remember this little conversation when you guys riot in Denver. Peace.

Wooten’s piece about Obama’s pastor is weird. He gives premises that are true and concludes that he cant love that real america he describes. Wooten is saying that for the first time in his adult life, he is really ashamed of his country. He’s become the liberal, an obsolete auctioneer of homie-improvement stereotyping. Expect a long dreary nostalgic piece about hard work next.

America is the country Wooten loves to hate.

I’m a white guy in my 30s from Woodstock, and about four months ago when Andy Young came out against Obama, I came on this blog and said I like Obama because he was young and therefore had a similar perspective on race, unlike the old guard guys like Andy who is forever bitter and racist (anti- white, Jew, asian, etc.). I liked Obama because I thought he would represent me fairly because race wouldn’t matter, and I called him the next John Kennedy.

But now, to hear that he is in with the old-guard anti-white hate-baiters, how can I vote for someone who doesn’t like me? This revelation goes against everything I thought he stood for and it’s incredibly disappointing. The liberal newspapers are trying to sugar-coat this fact, but for me it’s a deal breaker.

It’s not that liberals dont like you, Dan, we do, alot, my fellow american, the crux you fail to grasp is that while we like you, alot, we think you’re a moron. You dont read enough, you have trouble expressing yourself, and you’re not understanding what little you do read.

Try flashcards, and review old sesame street videos. Then wrap yourself in the flag, and hide in church, for a scoundrel needs a refuge. For the first time in your adult life, Dan, you are really ashamed of your country.

Conservatism is a corpse. Thrashing about for an identity, Republicans are straining credulity by inventing revisionist justifications for every domestic and foreign policy decision they’ve made in the last fifty years.

The country was born in a concurrent civil and revolutionary war. We fought ourselves too, in 1776. Our first flag was sewn with a stain, not of blood, but of sweat and tears. Slavery. Slavery. Slavery. Not even the founding fathers could see themselves for the devils they truly were when it came to slavery. Slavery. say it. envision it. imagine it. Slavery.

Maybe liberals have gone too far. Maybe Bush was the right man at the right time when 911 occurred. Maybe we did need to attack Iraq. If America is to endure a nuclear event, we at least are now masters of their domain. In perfect position to secure the trade routes in an extended war.

Chairman Mao said that war is eternal, and peace is actually denial. Nixon watched Mao predict how many generations China’s uneasy peace with the world would last. Sitting together over tea, Mao held up one finger. Nixon didn’t react. Mao held up two fingers. Nixon didn’t react. Mao didn’t offer any more fingers, in essence he was saying that war would be ours to enjoy in forty years. The year Mao gave Nixon the fingers? 1968. (twilight zone music inserted here).

If total war is to be our present and future, then I hope they let 57 year olds in the army. I would give anything to fight for the USA.

Presuming you to be nominally “American,” (your manner betrays an unmanly, un-American bent - for who else still supports the spirit so obvious in Bush and Cheney?) at 57 you had your, no doubt untaken, chance during Vietnam…and that also was a lie brought to us by the same Roman Anti-Christ’s Rockefeller - Nixon - Bush Fifth Column’s assassinating JFK six weeks after he ordered our military withdrawal from their latifundial estate of Indochina, in which the 5% Roman Catholic false-elite owned 95% of the wealth (as they are acheiving here).

Now the same treasonous faction has committed 9-11 to send us to false war for heroin, oil and global domination.

All patriots with an IQ over 70 are welcome to read Dr. Griffin’s “The New Pearl Harbor” to know with absolute moral certainty that the homosexual (and no “man” at all) draft-dodger George W. Bush committed 9-11.

There is no excuse for our failing to bring this cabal of traitors to justice at nooses’ end. You wannabe racist, fascist plutocrats can suffer the Misprision of Treason charges any still supporting this treason squarely deserve.

No. Slavery. What really happened in Georgia? Who was the civil war hero COBB yes THAT COBB. Cobb county was named for this guy who died so valiantly at Fredricksburg, where the low point of the cival war was reached. Like Iraq is a battle, Fredricksburg was a boondoggle. Lincoln still hadn’t found his general. The north had already won the war by then, but didn’t know it. They were never in any real trouble at any time during the war. This is why you always let your cammander in chief be a civilian.

Lincoln must have had fits over the incompetence. You see, he hadn't figured out the war himself yet. The search for the true meaning of the civil war then was like the quest for the atom bomb in WW2. Whoever could invent a deliverable solution for slavery would win. We know what Jefferson Davis's solution for slavery was and is. If this were Seven score and four years ago, Obama would be talking to Jefferson Davis about why he doesn't disown his life-pastor.

Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation before he learned of the spin-friendly stalemate at Antietam. But the war wasn’t yet solved. Abolition was a bluff. Then came the original wilderness. There were two wildernesses in the civil war, like there were 22 woodstocks in the war between the sexes, which still isn’t solved. (i know, say it dont spray it)

Anyway,Lincoln did not solve the war until he realized that nothing bad can happen to a large army. It simply is too easy to engineer a tactical victory.

Lincoln is a modern president. He understood that military evolution is human evolution. Lincoln was the first one to solve the civil war: Slavery had no reason to exist.

Obama, speaking about Lady Liberty today on CNN: “Watch her Walk”.

I like our modern president.
