Apparently, they’re so overloaded with people that most of them end up working well below their level of competence, in a sort of inverted Peter Principle.

I don't understand, and will never understand, why the moral issues seem to matter not at all to most Black Americans. If it were all a matter of color, then Alan would have lots of Black backers. But he does not.

American Blacks worship like rightwing, gap-toothed, snake-handling hillbillies. But they vote like wealthy northeastern unitarian universalists.

Obama believes that the world’s ills can be accomplished by forming a domestic “national service” army. He doesn’t explain what they will do, but it sounds like they will be an army of people outfitted with clipboards, gathering petitions and badgering people that aren’t on the P.C. haywagon.

This is the the community organizing model:

Prey upon people by convincing them they're needed for the “cause” and use them until they burn out after there's nothing left to themselves.

Meanwhile, the self-serving users withing the organization advance themselves.

It's no different than a ponzi, multi-level scheme.

I've seen it first hand.

I noticed long ago how obama is using African Americans to run his campaign and have him win for their color...yet he doesnt hang around the African American Community unless it is to get votes or money...he used the underprivedge of ACORN to get him votes, he used their ignorance and belief in HOpe to prey on their minds...he used the words of their faithful leader MLK, to pull at their heart strings, but rarely is seen doing the work of Martin Luther King, MLK was humble, Obama is Elitist...he shrugs off Jesse Jackson, He uses Sharpton, He is the master of the puppets (Black Caucus). Obama is a fraud, he is a Kenyan, He is Muslim, He is a socialist, and he has taken the only thing these poor African Americans had and that was hope.

On the off chance that you ever read this, and you're disappointed in and annoyed at your Party's reaction to an Obama loss (or, for that matter, an Obama win), by all means: contact us. The GOP can find a better place for you than an Alexandrian strip mall.

I have to disagree. This woman is disturbed. She has sacrificed money for her own son's college tuition, which she took out a loan for, and gave it to a politician. She sees EVERYTHING in terms of race. She seems genuinely delusional. Frankly I would not want someone like this on my side.

Will this "civilian security force" report only to the President? Will they wear brown shirts and broad leather belts? I'm not worried about clipboards. I'm worried about sidearms.

I don't feel sorry for her. She has to open her eyes and look at what's going on around her. She has the power to do whatever she wants to do.

You should have some sympathy, we need to really get this out...not just her story, but the real story....Have you heard or seen some of the people Obama has used to break the law and do all sorts of awful things to further his campaign? They are not the smartest, but they truly trust him, and he uses them, he wont educate them, he will feed them like pets and keep them in the dark until it is time fro them again to please the Master! Obama is as evil as Stalin, Chavez, Castro. These poor people and I mean poor, dont know what he is doing to them...look at his poor Aunt...he has millions and millions....Michelle is dining on lobster and champagne...and his family is on welfare!

Ya.....HOPE

Ditto.

How smart or competent can this woman be when she lets herself be taken in by a charlatan like Obama?

"This is the first time in a long time that black people are actually going to have someone to look up to who is respected universally, around the world," if Obama wins the election, Desmond said.

Somebody didn't pay attention in history class. And she wouldn't even need a long memory to recall Mandela, who isn't dead.

...”Kenyan, Muslim, socialist”. OK, Only one out of the three would disqualify him for the potus. There is no credible evidence that he is not a citizen of the US. If this is true, and he's elected, Hillary and Bill Clinton will inherit the potus by default. Give up the ghost, and have some Faith???

I don’t hold out much hope for American blacks who think that Obama will improve their lot. They merely have too look at the black mayors of big cities like Detroit to see what that has done for them. If more blacks start thinking of themselves as individuals with their own purpose in life instead of worker ants for a cause, then the sky is the limit for them.

The gist of Red State seems to be the young, white Obama supporters are dissing an intelligent, Princeton educated black woman by making her work outside a Best Buy instead of utilizing her intelligence. But maybe that’s not what these young whites see. Maybe they see a middle aged black woman who, to them at least, doesn’t speak the king’s English. They might see an unmarried black woman with a teenage son. Maybe they just see another black woman with a chip on her shoulder who has “boyfriend” instead of a husband. I don’t know, maybe the young, white Obama supporters are so intent on getting Barack elected, they don’t have time to worry about affirmative action in the campaign.

The majority have bought in to the welfare state, and they are only interested in what government will do for them. Look what happened after Katrina. Pro-life conservative black candidates want to get the black population off of welfare, and many do not want any part of it.

This women would do far better to volunteer at an animal shelter or put all that drive into a job than put her faith in in the “messiah” or any politician for that matter. She is sure to be disappointed. Then again, maybe not. Her community has a penchant for raising snake oil salesman to the status of saints.
