Hell, my wife is a white conservative.

Also, the governor of my home state is a republican of Indian descent. Jindal was elected by a bunch of white southerners to run their state, and he remains an incredibly popular governor there.

As a former Obama supporter, I think it's time to drop the excuses and face the fact that our guy is a dud. His critics have plenty to chew on that has nothing to do with his race. It's not like he can run again, so you can drop the race obsession now.
Actually, it's not work at all. Or at least, not for my side. When republicans openly, and repeatedly, support violence against random black people, stopping them from voting, having the president show his birth certificate, college entrance exams, grades, and on, we all know exactly what's happening. And when republicans rush out and *give money* to the latest guy who chased down and shot a black kid for walking down the street, as we've seen several times, we know what's happening.

Sorry, but Obama is overall, a very good president.

This is great news for the country.

Asian-Americans Make Up The Fastest Growing Voting Bloc In The South
I generally found that Democrat's consist of two groups.. The very wealthy democrats that enjoy keeping very poor democrat's poor while enriching their own pockets. Obama and his pumping is a great example. Sadly, poor democrats blame everyone but themselves and continue to vote wealthy democrat's into office. Generally, individuals who work and make reasonable wages and whose very same wages are taken by the wealthy democrat's to pay poor democrat's to stay poor are conservatives because they realize how screwed up liberals really are...

We can therefore assume that since Asian-Americans are generally smarter than poor democrats, work hard and expect to keep a reasonable amount of their income they will most likely, at some point, vote conservative.

Sounds reasonable eh?

We are doomed... If your parents pumped you full of this B.S. growing up we are truly doomed and you will never ever have peace...

Oh wait, they're immigrating. The article clearly states this.

Exactly! As its been explained to me by 2 college history professors, "the parties switched ideals over the centuries."

I know this comes as a blow to all the Rs who claim Lincoln as "theirs." I wouldn't want to except the reality either if i was one of them.

That's quite a vision you have there.

Or do you have links from credible sources to prove what you claim??

What a good little soldier. Still following your marching orders that were handed to you in 2008.

I don't think liberals are very honest about themselves. While conservatives may openly discuss what they dislike, at least they're being honest about it. Even if I'm a minority I'm not sure how offended I should be if someone throws it at me.
So no defense from liberals as to why it's ok for a school system in a very liberal county lIke this one to be segregated? Interesting.
