“I totally believe that,” Maher responded, which is no doubt true,...

As long as liberals are fence post stupid enough to keep believing that there is no point in discussing anything with them. They are choosing to act like recalcitrant five year olds and they should be accorded the same regard as a red-faced foot-stomping brat who needs a hard swat on the ass.

Essentially you ignore their irrational demands and do what you need to do.

I tried to read this, but by the third page I was getting ready to punch a hole in my screen. The voter ID thing, in particular, made me want to scream.

Of course liberals believe our opposition to Obama specifically and the government in general is due to racism - THEIR support of Obama specifically and the government in general is driven ONLY by their racial bias.

They simply cannot begin to conceive of people who have sincerely held political and moral beliefs that don’t change based on the color of a candidate.

These people would be in the streets screaming bloody murder if Bush had done or said HALF the things Barry has done. They truly only support him because he’s half-Kenyan.

Come on people, we’re talking about a persons who believe it’s inherently evil and racist to hold all people to the same objective standards of behavior.

We’re talking about people who believe the only way to get certain minorities to do as well as other minorities is to hamstring certain ethnic groups and give others free stuff.

We’re talking about people who praise dissent as patriotic when we have a white president, and call dissent treason when we have a black president. These are people who screamed about liberty and constitutional protections when Bush was in office, but ignore all of those pesky impediments to legislative action when Obama is in office.

Of course they think conservatives are racist, almost every liberal action and belief is motivated by their racial prejudices. They can’t conceive of a person that isn’t as bigoted and and small-minded as they are.

MLK mentioned exactly once (on page 5, and just a “token” mention if I dare say it; no relevant context). No sign of the “content of their character” quote.

Chait certainly demonstrates the infamous lack of content of his own character with six gratuitous uses of the N-word on page 3. (One cannot expect anything good from a TNR reject.)

If being black means needing to be ghetto and hating the white bourgeousie, then okay I hate black. But that’s a definition that liberals chose for those of melanistic skin. They can’t conflate color with folly then complain about those who hate the folly.

Yes, Olog. It’s odious. It’s a lie in motion.

Never apologize for the color of your skin.

Never apologize for sh^t you did not do.

That is all.

I never said or implied any such thing. You seem to miss the possibility the Kenyon was not the sperm doner. There are cases on record where men have been accused of being the blood father but were not such and had to go to court to show differently. In the case of Stanley Ann I believe there was consensual agreement for personal reasons to have a college mate play along with the pregnancy until an Hawaiian divorce could be obtained and which did happen according to published court records.

Well, yes, anything and everything is possible. It is hard to imagine an American white female intentionally having a black male sperm donor. I guess the plot thickens. What is your theory? Was it just a random black male donor?

“I despise the bastard no matter “

So do I. It is that he got into power on the pathetic charge that he would be America’s first black president is what galls me. The fact that the Marxist Btard was REelected is what tells me that America is in big trouble.

The conceit of libs is that conservative Republicans would be jumping for joy if a white Obama had passed a socialist health care act, tried to nationalize auto industries, or shut down oil production. They seriously believe this.

“How do you know who is father is?”
___________________________________________
How would any of us know? It is the most protected fact in history.
The only one thing that is certain is that the father, by all indications, is a Kenyan, and the mother was a tramp.
The father was obviously African, but possibly living in Malaysia at one time.

On a normal night I take a glance at almost every article on FR. I don’t read them all, but I look long emough to get the gist of what they’re about and mentally footnote in case the topic should acquire relevance later. I looked at the title of this piece and thought “I’ve had enough of race- baiting for today.”

Then a good friend pinged me here with the graphic comment that reads “Simply Red” referencing the obvious fact that the only color of this pResident that matters is his Communist color. So since I was here, I started to read.

Seven pages, eh?

All I can say is that any piece of writing that starts out by calling Bill Kristol a “conservative” and inferring that Maher is any sort of “intellectual” is not worth a single sentence fragment.

Thanks for hte warning 2DV.

Whereas the great themes of the Bush years revolved around foreign policy and a cultural divide over what or who constituted “real” America, the Obama years have been defined by a bitter disagreement over the size of government, which quickly reduces to an argument over whether the recipients of big-government largesse deserve it.

This is a new twist: "From everyone according to their ability; to everyone according to whether they 'deserve' it."

Sheesh!

There’s also Mr. Chait’s background to consider. Former loudmouth “senior editor” at TNR. Author of the hit piece “Case for Bush Hatred”.
