Two family households were multiple times more prevalent during slavery than today. Perhaps they can explain why 3/4 never left the plantations after they were given their freedom? Now the gummit is the plantation owner.

Pray America wakes up

Yep.
Negroe is the equivalent of caucasian. It’s not an insult to call out someone’s race if their race is the subject matter. It’s only when words like Ni**er, Wetback or cracker are used that it is derogitory.

And “colored people” means the exact same thing as “people of color”. So that is not derogatory either.

Correction: 0 and Harry Reid’s MSM performed character assasination of political opponent as expected using their standard m.o.


I don’t think they performed it. I think they attempted it.

"Some Conservative Media Burned in Cliven Bundy Affair"

.... That's because the so called Conservative Media got off message ... The whole Bundy Ranch situation is about Abuse of Power .... not racism like the propaganda machine successfully diverted the narrative towards.

If possible, would some Freeper playing devils advocate FOR the Left educate me on WHAT buddy said in the tapes that was “racist”?


There isn’t anything. That’s the point.

Beck should be real proud of himself for being praised by the scumbags at media matters. Their approval must be important to him.

He made the mistake of using a positive word ("better") in connection with the word slavery. He might have made the same point with a bit less of a splash had he said that black people are now "worse" off than they were two hundred years ago.

It seems silly, of course, but in fact associations play an important role in the way we think. Connecting positive adjectives/adverbs with unpopular events like slavery or the Holocaust will create a lot of friction in the brains of many people.

You’re right about that, Mama!
“Race” (in scare marks) is a Sacred Cow. Only black people and their guardians on the Left are allowed to talk about it. It is taboo for anyone else to even mention it.
Now, if a cowboy sees this sacred cow .... and says, “Hey, it’s a Brahman bull!” and slaps a saddle on it, cinches up its privates real tight and spurs it out the chute for a bumpy ride, well—then there’s hell to pay.

Sure. When’s the last time you called a black person a negro to their face?

I don’t think they performed it. I think they attempted it.

As far as the lefties are concerned they’ve achieved it. I’m hoping those on the fence are starting to see through the smoke and realize what The People are really up against; a master deceiver whose intentions for this country are very bad. What we have is a silent coup that the lefties are too ideologically blind, indoctrinated, and naieve to see. They don’t realize they are next if they accomplish their mission.

> THESE guys are dangerous??? THESE guys are looking for a revolution, or spoiling for a fight???? What about the jackboots who routinely rob us of our rights, our liberties, and our freedoms, then thumb their noses at us because we're a bunch of malcontents and angry old white men? Does it occur to the apologists that THEY are the ones who are "dangerous?" And not just to Bundy, but to our Republic??? This where we are:

The federal government owns 86% of the land in Nevada and more than 30% of the land in the USA. that's unconstitutional : http://benswann.com/lofti-who-actually-owns-americas-land-a-deeper-look-at-the-bundy-ranch-crisis/ >

the government this much land in Nevada and other states is socialism/communism. the land must be given to the states and individuals NOW. Nothing is more monstrous to me than government owning land

The gov is using 30% of the U.S. land for environmentalism when private companies could be using those vast resources to get oil, oil shale, logging, farmland etc.. Use Google to see that just on government owned lands in the west there is more recoverable oil than all of the rest of the world combined

I will confess that the reason I don’t worry about this much is that I see us as germans arguing politics and our future,and it’s late 1944. Events are outside the control of these children. What’s gonna happen is gonna happen in the next few years regardless of what these ignoramouses attampt.

Negro doesn’t fit well into many sentences. But the word itself means black.

Beck and Jones are both conspiracy theorists who prefer to speculate rather than analyze.

Bundy is in the wrong, but the federal government's reaction to him demonstrates how far past its proper scope the Beltway has gone.

This is not about grazing fees. Mr. Bundy is not in the wrong. He has a good argument based on pre-emptive rights.

Beyon that its really about the overeach of government and the police state. CWII has started there just have been no shots fired yet. The standoff at the Bundy ranch was the tipping point. It only heats up going forward. Its not going to cool off.

Somebody needs to tell Beck that when the liberals are patting you on the back about how wise/smart/clever/nuanced you are this can mean only one thing: You have been had!
