White liberals have been indulging their fantasies of violence against conservatives lately – physically attacking conservatives, ransacking Bush-Cheney headquarters (though not any NRA headquarters, I note). The white wife of vice presidential candidate John Edwards recently warned of riots unless Kerry is elected.
In the midst of this rash of violence by white liberals, this week Al Gore admonished a group of blacks not to engage in violence over the election. Perhaps Gore should have saved that speech for a convocation of Moveon.org members.
And Democrats wonder why they have to ask white people to hold "African-Americans for Kerry-Edwards" signs at their rallies – as happened in St. Petersburg, Fla., last Saturday. The Kerry campaign is hemorrhaging black voters like teenaged girls fleeing an R. Kelly house party. None of the Democrats' top black leaders – Jesse, Al, Bill Clinton – has been able to stem the tide.
Here's the deal on politics and race in America: Republicans don't need black voters, but they want them. Democrats don't want black voters, but they need them. Blacks have been the Democrats' most loyal voters, typically giving the party upward of 90 percent of their vote. But Democrats ignore blacks.
That's according to none other than the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who said precisely that in a speech to "Campaign for America's Future" at the Democratic National Convention this summer.
Now, with the election less than a week away, the Kerry campaign is dashing off to every black church in the country. Bill Clinton had to interrupt an important sponge bath with someone named "Bunny" to come to Kerry's rescue in Philadelphia. (Possible slogan: "Kerry – The Same as Clinton, Without the Burning Sensation.")
The Democrats' inspired 11th-hour message to black voters is: Here are your crumbs, your scraps, your measly handouts. Too bad you're so childish, incompetent and dependent, huh? Now run along and cast your vote for the guy with the "D" next to his name and we'll see you in four years, 'K? Buh-bye, now.
With no fanfare, President Bush has placed black stars like Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell in top positions in his administration. Kerry waited for complaints that the only black people in his campaign were setting up folding chairs at rallies before finding blacks for any prominent positions. (Another campaign slogan: "John Kerry: Pretending to Fight for Blacks Since Very Recently.")
Among loony liberal ideas polling especially badly among blacks is the Democrats' gusto for gay marriage.
Gay marriage is a tricky issue for the Democrats due to the fact that – like taxes, defense and education – they are forced to lie about their position when running for office. In other words, Democrats are gay marriage supporters trapped in the bodies of candidates who oppose gay marriage. And no issue-reassignment surgery can help them.
By contrast, blacks – like Republicans and most Americans in general – not only believe gay marriage is wrong, but are willing to publicly state this belief.
Bush opposes gay marriage. Kerry is for it – and he has always been consistent on that by taking every position imaginable on gay marriage. Kerry's got more gay marriage positions than the Kama-sutra, including the "yawning dog," the "courtesan's dilemma" and the "flip-flopping weasel."
Campaigning in Missouri about a month ago, Kerry began the day saying he was opposed to Missouri's constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. By the end of the day, Kerry was claiming he supported the amendment and, indeed, that his position on gay marriage was identical to Bush's.
Later, Kerry retracted his support for the Missouri marriage amendment, telling a gay magazine that he hadn't read the amendment and, in fact, he opposed it. (More campaign slogan ideas: "John Kerry won't just take a stand on the tough issues – he'll take two or three of them!")
When Kerry's strategy of being both for gay marriage and against it failed to fool blacks, he sent Jesse Jackson out to black churches to tell the parishioners to set aside their views on gay marriage and vote for Kerry anyway. What are blacks getting out of this deal again?
Compensating for his progressive views on gay marriage, Kerry supports federal funding for partial-birth abortions. Taxpayer-supported abortion on demand should make "Emily's List" feminists happy, but it has not been a big hit with black ministers.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was quite explicit about using abortion as a tool to reduce the minority population. She said the goal of Planned Parenthood was to "give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization." Even today, talk to any white liberal about abortion and within 60 seconds he will raise the black "overpopulation" problem.
We hear a lot about the 2 million people in America's jails and how many of them are black, but we rarely talk about the 35 to 40 million abortions since Roe v. Wade and how many of those babies were black. When your position on black abortion is identical to the Klan's, maybe it's time to reconsider.
Kerry's supporters are reaching out to blacks by demanding that black cabdrivers in New York City who support Bush be fined and suspended. When taxi driver Etzer Jerome told his sensitive Upper West Side passenger he had voted for Bush, she demanded that he pull over and let her out, yelling at him: "How can a black man vote for Bush?" and "I'm going to f--- you!" She then filed a complaint against Jerome with the Taxi and Limousine Commission alleging that Jerome had "verbally harassed her." He was fined $500 and given a three-week suspension.
On the bright side, the Democrats offer black voters loads and loads of meaningless abstractions that will have absolutely no effect on their lives. "Jobs," for example. (Just not any of the important jobs in a Kerry administration.)
Democrats' extravagant claims about creating "jobs" are as credible as their claims that they will allow the wheelchair-bound to walk. Among the jobs that are currently not available to Americans are these being performed in China under a free-trade bill voted for by John Kerry. (New campaign slogan: "John Kerry: Betraying America Since 1971.")
And apparently, black voters can also look forward to a lot of patronizing demagoguery from the Democrats, such as the claim that Republicans maliciously suppressed the black vote in Florida in 2000.
Kerry claims Republicans disenfranchised 1 million black voters in Florida in 2000, but neglects to mention that after extensive and expensive hearings, the U.S. Civil Rights Commission failed to name a single one of them. Can you name just one out of that "million," Sen. Kerry? We've found more WMDs in Iraq than we've found disenfranchised blacks in Florida.
Indeed – to the contrary! – in 2000, blacks composed 11 percent of registered voters in Florida, but made up 17 percent of those who actually voted. If that's how Republicans "suppress" the black vote, blacks are better off when Republicans attack them than when Democrats pretend to be nice to them.
I was debating on whether to hit the abuse button on #40, but frankly that post provides insights about the author that are quite valuable in a pathological sense.
If President Bush wins it will prove that his position on immigration is correct, not yours.
The predictions of the Buchanan/Tancredo extremists that President Bush will lose unless he espouses their anti-Mexican policies will have been proven false.
If the Buchanan/Tancredo anti-Bush forces can't even swing just a few points in critical battleground states it will prove that they are an insignificant minority of malcontents out of step with Americans. They will be exposed for a very small group of people who have some internal problems with Mexicans that the rest of the country doesn't share.
President Bush's reelection will signal the end of Tancredo and his appeal to the dark side of human emotions. Do you think he will silently fade away or will he crawl on his belly to Rove and DeLay begging their forgiveness for having allowed Pat and Bay to con him?
Seven days, that's all. Sleep well.
You hate blacks --- you make that very clear any time a thread having to do with blacks shows up --- you contributed nothing to this thread --- just a total mocking --- that kind of thing is as racist as it can be.
Yes --- I have problems with a foreign government --- one as completely corrupt as Mexico's calling all the shots here --- and we're talking foreigners who you want to bring in with no limits whatsoever --- unless they're from Haiti --- suddenly that's a different story. It's all about La Raza with you isn't it. Todo por la Raza, nada por afuera de la Raza. That Master Race complex.
Because I mock Kerry's attempts to appeal to them?
Give it up FITZ, you've been victimized by people who no longer have your back. All they wanted was your money. When the going got tough they got going as far away from you as possible.
You can hope and pray that there will be a major attack this week by an Arab terrorist who swam across the Rio Grande carrying WMDs so you can say "I told you so and don't vote for Bush", but you know that won't happen because President Bush didn't let that terrorist get within a thousand miles of the Rio Grande.
Seven more days.
Quite right, you should speak for yourselves, and you'll find others willing to listen...

Sure you were mocking Kerry: "Faif wif out public works be dead bros." Give the source that Kerry ever said such a remark. As far as Bush winning proving that he's right on immigration --- how can that be when Kerry is just as much open borders and amnesty and the rest? When two candidates hold the exact same position on one topic --- then topics like abortion win out. Kerry is an extreme-pro-abortionist and should be defeated for that.
new tagline!
bayourod, with his infamous Race Card in hand, shows up on yet another thread!
Hehe. New sig line
One of the great stories that will come out of this election is the widespread defection of a once near-solid bloc of voters, abandoning the tradition of generations and switching their allegiance once more to the party of their original deliverance, and coming to the fold of the Republican party. The American of African descent cannot say that they have become fully integrated until there is a near-parity of voting patterns with the rest of their fellow American citizens.
"Free at last, free at last, God Almighty, free at last!"
Every vote by an American of African descent that is shifted from the Democrat column to the Republican column is a triumph, at this point. There was a seismic shift in the vote at the time of the New Deal (when the vote was still largely denied to these same Americans of African descent). Up to then, the few former slaves and descendents of slaves, when they were permitted the right to vote, had voted almost solidly Republican.
Yesterday, as I walked through the parking garage at my office, I saw a car that had an African Americans for Kerry-Edwards. I was stuned. I guess the driver was just reminding himself that he has to vote for a democrat.
Ya gotta read this one...
I hope she does not hold her breath. Not many blacks will riot because two white men lost to two other white men.
Watch it..Mexicans are not content at anything.
Why do you make fun of blacks?
I was mocking Kerry trying to talk like he was from the hood.
Oh, okay.
Actually, I see three things in that photo which are fake . . . .
