Hey Bill,
Tolerance means tolerating stuff you might not agree with. You might mention that to the homos and the Christologists.

A preference for socializing with one's own is not hatred.

It may not be hatred, but if by "one's own," you mean one's own race, then one is a racist.

My preference is for socializing with Conservatives who may be of various colors.

Pat continues to expose himself and it's not a pretty sight.

Each year, during the weeks leading up to graduation at Johnson County High School, white students go to a white prom and black students go to a black one.

"It's always been like that," said senior Carla Rachels, 17, who helped organize Friday night's white prom in nearby Dublin. "We don't see it as being a big deal."

No one seems to remember when the rule was passed to keep the school's hands off the prom.

Older residents recall that the white prom was indeed school-sponsored in the days before public schools were integrated in the late 1960s.

Rev. Horton, believes the young people are simply bowing to the opinions of their elders.

"It ain't so much the young folks. It's the old folks that still got that meanness and hate in them," he said.

Horton offers first-hand testimony about how bitter racial tension can be in Johnson County. In 1980, Wrightsville gained national notoriety when a group of whites, including sheriff's deputies, attacked blacks during a civil-rights demonstration. Horton was there.

"I got beat to the ground," he said. His car was stripped and shoved into a pond. He spent three nights in jail. No one was ever prosecuted.

After he ran this story into the ground, I realized that O'Reilly's motivation is not about political integrity but about self-promotion. He stands for nothing and this non-story is his "Al Capone's Vault".

I guess since "Hubcap" O'Reilly's radio show went into the crapper, he'll do anything to attract attention. Maybe he's trying to displace Jerry Rivers as the biggest sleeze on TV.

I used to watch him, but have stopped doing so since the prom incident.

Dammit to hell. I agree with Buchanan. Time for a shower.

"It's hard to imagine that the practice of segregation still exists in the United States, but it does," Shapiro states.

Every weekend there are all-black parties in black neighborhoods, all-Latino parties in Latino neighborhoods, and all-Asian parties in Asian neighborhoods. But God forbid us white people having an all-white party or we're labeled racists as a result.

Pat is right on this issue.

O'Reilly doesn't understand the first thing about freedom of association.
