nav79 !!! ... Three thumbs Up For You !

Your Post of course is 100% correct !

Unfortunately the never ending stigmata regarding this matter appears to truly eminate from the psycho mindset of so many of this nations looney racists liberals !

And your last sentence is most logical to those folks among us who actually posess a fair measure of intelligence ! It's the "Liberal Loons" who will most definitely have trouble with the answer to your "How Is That A Bad thing" Question !

Thanks / Old Sgt. Lamar

I think many of you are getting Republicans and the teabaggers confused. Many of the teafolks are blindly following the fools of Faux news without even a hint of research for themselves. I can understand why many people would call ANY black a "judas" for supporting them. As far as the republican party is concerned, they have not reached out towards blacks since reconstruction. Oddly enough most of their views are overwhelmingly shared by blacks as a whole. Summary: If the republicans don't want you and the democrats take advantage of you who do you vote for? Personally, I feel that neither party is worth my vote and until we get a REAL choice in the matter I (like many of you) will continue to vote for the fool who will do the least amount of damage to this country!

Well stated!

The ugly truth, at least for liberals, democrats and the rest of that ilk is that they rely on racism; need racism to advance their cause.

Conservatives walked away from racism decades ago. It is the left in this country that clings to racism and actively promotes it in their policies, ignoring Dr. King's advice to judge a man not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character. It is quite sad that those who marched with King now carry the standard of racism they marched to end. Would that the left were more like Conservatives and showed no tolerance for racism at all. But that would require the left look within see themselves for what they are: the source of all racism in this country today.

Hello, this still has nothing to do with today and him. It may have to do with other issues facing us, but has nothing to do with him. Where was he and why was he serving our country? I guess because the Democrats as well as our Pres at the time decided to invade and for you to make a comment about why he was there has nothing to do with this. He was serving his country, end of story..

As far as FOX news and the Tea Party, you know about as much about that as you do about nothing. FOX news does not push the tea Party. Do you even watch any of the FOX News programs? I would guess not.

When I asked where was he, I was referring to him politically and not physically. How it relates concerns the fact if he was not serving his country at that time would he think the same way? If he did not serve his country why was'nt he in politics then? Would he have been silenced by the bush administration? So in retrospect where he was has EVERYTHING to with his political leanings as it is presented today. Incidentally for the record, I blame the cowards in the dumbocratic party as well as the liars in the refutican party for the unnecessary profit war in IRAQ

Democrats are the party of the KKK. How black Americans aligned themselves with the democratic party after MLK was bailed out of jail by JFK, I have no idea. MLK was a republican.
Then you have more than double the republicans voted for the civil rights act than did democrats.

Yet the Democrats label the republicans racist, when in fact it is the majority of Democrats that are staunch racist and always have been.
