Harry Reid’s “teaching moment.”

It is said that President Barack Obama is fond of using problematic events as “teachable moments.” Well here’s a teachable moment for Republicans in the wake of Harry Reid’s pre-2008 election comments that Obama was “light skinned… with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one”: In matters of racial politics Republicans should consider [...]

The return of race-card Jesse!

[The Hill] The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Wednesday night criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the Democrats’ signature healthcare bill.
“We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”
I never realized you can determine one’s economic [...]

Loony leftist projection.

Gore Vidal is so washed up and irrelevant it’s kind of a waste of time to further comment on his angry contradictory ramblings. But I’m posting this because to me it’s a typical attitude of the Sixties hard-core leftist to project their shortcomings onto others — in this case, that America will decline into a [...]

Dissent is the highest form of racism?

“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism,” we were told by the opposition during the Bush administration. It seems that now that same opposition believes that “Dissent is the highest form of racism.” So get on board and join the program, or else you’re a racist.
So much for the unity president. From the Obama administration’s [...]

Race card media.

Obama’s post-racial America.

[ABC News] At the end of Wednesday night’s prime-time news conference that was intended to be chiefly about health care, Obama was asked about the incident [the arrest of black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr.], to which he responded: “I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race [...]

Are we still racists?

If we live in such a racist country, as the friends and fellow travelers of Barack Obama argued vehemently throughout this campaign season, how did AmeriKKKa end up electing The One?
– Michelle Malkin tosses the Rev. Wright’s words back at him.
Read the rest. I love a quote by this mil-blogger, mainly because he says what [...]

Congrats to Obama, and election musings.

Well, at least the longest and most expensive election in American history is over.
One must congratulate Barack Obama. Should not he at least be given the chance to prove he is not the most liberal president, backed by the most liberal Congress, to ever take office?
Or, rather, should Republicans and conservatives use the playbook — [...]

How Obama even made Bill a racist.

The reason Bill Clinton is sulking in his tent is because he feels that Obama surrogates succeeded in painting him as a racist. Clinton has many sins, but from his student days to his post-presidency, his commitment and sincerity in advancing the cause of African Americans have been undeniable. If the man Toni Morrison called [...]

What of Powell’s judgment?

Mike Allan and Jon Martin of The Politico wrote that former Sec. of State Colin Powell’s decision to endorse Barack Obama “stunned both parties.” If that’s true, it just goes to show you how naive both parties are.
Frankly, I think it’s just typical journalist hyperbole, where every exaggerated headline underscores how we the public should [...]
