I couldn't care less about his race, but it's obviously something important to the righties who are so enthralled by him. If anything, that is even more offensive, since quite a few are acting like it's a shocker for a non-white to be so fantastic (to them). It's like the old "he's so articulate!"
This is what the Carson commotion on the Right is all about - facades and image manipulation.
The repubs are on a search for minority faces to put before the public and get rich white Wall Street republicans elected in 2014, and they have found two so far - Rubio and Carson. The republican base is Wall Street billionaires and other wealthy right-wing Americans but there are obviously not enough votes here, so they must find more votes somewhere, anywhere.
They will heavily court the minority vote for 2014, and then ignore them because they cannot and will not give up on their wealthy constituency.

Here, focusing on racial demographics, ol' Charlie Krauthammer thinks he's got it right, however his glaring omission is the most important part - the republicans' Wall Street base - their main concern.

Any vote for a republican is a vote for Wall Street domination of our economy, more trickle down - not minority rights or anything else.

Carson is definitely someone people, not just blacks, could get behind. But he wouldnt get the platform to speak to people. He had that great speech at that get together, but do you think the media covered it? Of course not. Because the media would never give it to him unless they had something they could use to destroy him.

Carson stood up there and most of what he said, Obama is against and the media is against. He basically gave a lecture to Barry, so of course the media wasnt going to cover it. Most dont know who Carson is, but they are aware of Sharpton, Jackson, and Obama. Because those loons are far left and share the agenda of the media. Keeping black people down and on a plantation of sorts.

No, it's not. Those are both quite normal for politicians, as it should be.

Of course, I don't see much in Carson's speech that he should be ashamed of, either. Maybe the national prayer whatever isn't the place...

Well said Tilt!

The New Plantation has been and continues to be an enterprise practiced from the top down with a racially diverse group of managers acting as field foreman in Congress. The separation and division of minority and white "have nots" from all the "haves', in general, has been an intentional culling out of the American population, hardly the vision the founders intended as they made no mention of establishing "target groups"...as the demonRATs did, to legally execute "public policy".

One wonders why so many minority people, and white liberal hypocrites, STILL have failed to realize that their own government, mainly propelled by the demonRATic party agendas, have stripped blacks and also many latinos now, of any positive self-image and condemned them to live in a frustrated atmosphere of INWARD-DIRECTED violence? It's been enabled by only ONE POLITICAL PARTY. The RATs!
Could it be that those liberal whites want it that way? That they'e the same phony "not in my neighborhood" crowd of the 60s, just the latest generation progeny!
And that they only pay lip-service to the "big tent" and "diversity" culture they created as an inducement to recruit blacks and latinos?
Of course it's true.
There can be no other reason for illogical behavior! Why else does a President do ALL HE CAN making all of the worst economic decisions, that lead us over the economic edge. My scenario allegation is the only one that makes any sense. It's why, in the past, he has NEVER addressed substantially all of his radical background.
It's why Obozo is so confident that his legacy wil be to have brought down this sytem of ours and created a one-party totalitarian government eanbled by the naive constituency he mouths his prattle at.

Hapless Harry Reid, after having consulted with his Great Leader Obozo and having been reassured by Obozo that he has again successfully gotten Swayback Johnnie Boehner to capitulate to him in compromise, calls a press conference to issue his senatus consultum of the latest financial treachery perpetrated upon We the People. It's what the demonRATs call 'workin' the system'.

The most recent example is Obozo championing MORE, NEW SPENDING in the face of massive TRILLION$ deficits and doing so in a maner which will make REpblicans look like a bunch of "mean-sprited" meanies if they oppose it, in furtherance of the agenda to demonize by direct suggestion any opposition.
Obama pushes preschool plan, WON'T discuss cost

(AP) — Raising hopes among parents who want preschool ... Obama's plan were any details about the cost, a key concern among Republicans. Obama's aides have insisted the new programs would not add to the nation's …

Cost = $9,000. per child and proof is in the record that it has no lasting, beneficial effect. No wonder Obozo doesn't want to discuss the cost!

What else is new? "'F' Troop back to normal ...sir!" ...as both he and his assistant Corporal 'Joe Biden' Agarn famously endorsed just last November..."...We’re not not going anywhere. And you’ve got a homeboy in the deal who gets it,...".




The past and current Presidents and Congresses who have initiated and maintained these soul-robbing enterprises are diectly responsible for that which it has wrought. A WORSENING of the lives of all those minority population peoples and robbing of their very souls in the ignominious bargain.

He could go on a moose hunt, and Sarah could assist in brain surgery.

Each would have to give a little.

Why should I? It doesn't matter what color his skin is.

I used the "mulatto" reference as it's accurate to denote half white and half black. The meaning you should have taken from that was he squandered an opportunity, because many people of BOTH races saw him as I described and it's why they voted for him. He deceived them and that's more than obvious. He set about appealing to "target group" classes of our society with two objectives. 1) To garner their support and their future votes AND to enable a division based upon envy and anger. White against black, rich against poor, young against old and 2) all to enable his legacy of bringing down this system to remake it in a latter-day Marxian version of socialism. Obozo is a purely political animal, nothing more. He has no "'socially redeeming value".



No it isn't! Bush was no angel to be sure, but he wasn't manipulative of "target groups" of people like Obozo was, is and will continue to be. Bush was okay with accepting this capitalistic system of free enterprise, Obozo is not. He seeks control of our lives with more centralized federal power and more Executive Branch authority. His distraction is pitting one group of us against another. The have-nots and the haves and soon the have nots and the working class against the haves and then when he runs out of "haves" to tax...what then! The "social ills" you may note I alluded to as being of over 50 years duration in political making and cultivating, mainly by the party of the former Democrats that I call the demonRATic party.



In the first instance..., did you even read my posted comments here? And in the second...it's obvious that you didn't.



Sorry Beliciano, but you MUST reside in some alternate universe. Did I say he SHOULD mete out SPECIAL treatment for special groups of people AND based upon RACE NO. NOT EVER. NEVER! That's what their "target groups" are all about and that's what he HAS BEEN DOING. Give each group what they want, promise each group what they want to hear. All he can do is give them more handouts. It's feel-good nourishment that satisfies only the moment and condemns the recipient to a lifetime of parasitic dependency upon handouts. It does nothing to uplift the individual and make he/she confident in THEMSELVES. He USES PEOPLE!
Well, all I am going to ask you to do is go on another useless rant again. I need the laugh.

Good point Dale. The hypocrisy of "not in my neighborhood you don't" is alive and well with the left-wingnuts!
