This same bunch ran a decent man out of politics for saying “macaca”, which only in the mind of a rayciss, could be twisted to be a rayciss word. I don’t have much forgiveness for people like that. Even if I did forgive them, it wouldn’t follow that I think such a hypocritical lot should make the laws for me.

I agree with that.

I come from the old school. Show me the context and I may buy into the bad interpretation, if the person deserves it.

When Al Campanas stated that Blacks were more physical because they had been bred for strength, it was a reasoned and truthful comment.

Black slave owners treated them like cattle. They did breed them to get a stronger slave.

So Campanas addressed truth, and got fired. That’s dumb.

It’s not an insult to Blacks to mention this. It’s actually a slam on slave owners who treated Blacks that way. And it should be something that is talked about, because it was wrong.

Campanas didn’t deserve any disciplinary action.

The macaca thing was so absurd. The Washington Post ran a series of articles to “educate” all of us as to why we should be outraged about macaca, and why macaca was supposedly an ethnic slur.

Yet it worked. The stupid war on women thing worked for a while too. Liberals unfortunately can get things distracted from real issues, and win elections.

Having the media in their corner greatly helps the liberals.

Democrats have to run against Republicans.

Republicans have to run against Democrats and the media.
