I like how they don’t mention blacks of any stripe.
Pretty embarrassing when it’s a monolithic 95%. Talk about lock-step.
Comment on article: “CNN why do we never hear about blue collar blacks or white collar blacks or working class blacks? Why do you lump all blacks in the same category but you don’t lump whites in the same category? These sounds racist to me.”
Because of the monolithic nature. Even the white-collar are probably 75%.
At least your cat attempts to cover up his foul-smelling poo, not try to sell it to you as a diamond.
How old are you?
JFK cut taxes...and would be to the Right of many Republicans today. He was no FDR,
He wasn't POTUS long enough to do the damage you seem to credit him with.
What is the source of your mis-information?
0bama is what you get when Political Correctness and the Red Media select the POTUS.
A disaster of Biblical proportions.
BWAAAHAAAHAAA!
GREAT juxtaposition!
Actually just today, in 0dumbo’s speech announcing James Jones resignation the POS 0dumbo referred to the situation he “ inherited”
In nearly all campaign speeches the POS has done he always brings up how bad it was when he took over.
So I disagree that he is bringing up Bush less.
Bush may have screwed up... but Obama is deliberately destroying

Generally speaking blacks adopt “collectivism”...they always have.
In vulgar terms...it is also referred to as “tribe mentality”
That is why Black Theology is very popular...it requires group think, that is why black churches are “black”...
Through their own segregation, they adopt these practices.
SO the media understands that too.
SO the paint brush of “all blacks” is pretty much “spot on”.
I am the age where I do remember the final term of FDR.

You spell the term "Republicans", I choose to spell that group "RINOs". GOProud also favors lower taxes. Yet that homosexual organziation is hardly what most FReepers would deem Conservative.
What is the source of your mis-information?
My sources of information include witnessing the events while living through the primaries of 1960 (I was then a Pennsylvanian and took interest in the nearby West Virgnia primary), the general election of that year (and the fraud in Illinois) and the term of Kennedy's presidency until the assassination near the triple underpass in Dallas.
My evaluation of the JFK presidency isn't based merely on observing it from my Conservative perspective but also from a broad reading list, including those sympathetic to him and those opposed to Kennedy. If you wish, I'll enumerate the literature that molded my opinon (although some of the newspapers of that era have either folded or been absorbed by others).
While conceding that JFK did cut taxes, the whole body of his work as president is deficient from a Conservative perspective.
Of course, there's the well-documented womanzing which brought disgrace to the office. But that's can be perceived as merely a personal matter by some. From a policy standpoint, JFK stood firmly against the Tenth Amendment, lost Cuba in the Bay of Pigs fiasco, blinked during the Cuban Missile Crisis and stood by idly while the Commies built the Berlin Wall. He championed a boatload of Socialist programs in his "New Frontier". Plus, he abolished the death penalty in DC...and we now see what that decision has wrought.
And living in Pittsburgh at the time, I was especially perturbed by his attack on the steel companies during fall 1962 (after they raised prices). That struck me as very anti-business position.
Being a reasoable person, I welcome a rational rebuttal of my points. A good refutation may cause me to alter some of my opinions concerning JFK after all these years. Still, I'll admit to be predisposed to favoring a Nixon (even with all of his faults, I did support him then) administration in 1960.
By 47 to 45 percent, Americans say Obama is a better president than George W. Bush. But that two point margin is down from a 23 point advantage one year ago.
And of that 47% there are about 10% that are actually living.
Well, it IS CNN...so I think GW is probably really ahead! :D
Yes, it is, no matter how un-PC it is.
OTOH, I’m glad to be part of a small “Lutheran” church that somehow has attracted so many different kinds of people - white of course, German of course, but also lots of blacks and orientals. This is 1 church where the people aren’t “groupthink”.
Just read about JFK’s “Executive Order 10988” .
Then stop and think about the destruction it has wrought and is causing today.....
“And by a 10-point margin, Americans also say that Joe Biden has done a better job than Sarah Palin would have done as vice president,” adds Holland.”
Oh, my. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Oh perfect. I had never seen this one before. Thanks for posting.
That was a bummer.
Yes indeed, all these 'flawless' critics saying President Bush wasn't perfect. I wonder who they think ever has been perfect?
It becomes amusing after a while. :)
He did the best job he knew how to do, lived by his principles and moral absolutes, loved his country, and did his best to protect it against those who would destroy it.
He knows that the true story won't be written until after he's gone, and he's content with living the rest of his life in service to others and to the country he loves.
Here's to you, President Bush!
