Of course not. This is how wackos preach hate to their followers

I thought you liberals thought this is a historic candidacy because finally we're going to elect a black guy to be president. Why hide behind this? Why act like it's not about race? What, you want to tell us it's about his policies?

Liberals. Blacks uniting to take power. He is telling the wacko extremists to hate. Wackos are being told subtlety to consider 'kill Obama' concepts. Rush Limbaugh is about hate. He hates the French. He hates Arabs. He hates because hate makes the wackos more loyal to him.

Powell stated why he supports Obama. Powell is opposed to the wacko extremist party of the Republican party that has penetrated the McCain campaign and that put Sarah Palin on the ticket. Powell is opposed to the people that Limbaugh promoted for.

Powell only said in a politically correct manner what is really not disputable. She is too dumb to be a leader. But she is the kind of spokeman to promote an extremist agenda. The same people that Rush Limbaugh also speaks for.

Hate is a powerful tool for getting wacko loyalists out to vote - and to even discuss killing Obama. Rush Limbaugh inspired hate even forced John McCain to reprimand that rhetoric in his campaign rallies.

WTF?

I second the.. wtf?

They boo'd Santa, didn't actually beat him up (although a few battery-laden snow balls may or may not have been thrown... you can't prove anything...)

As some of you have figured out by now, I tend to bait people to start lively debates. If you look in an earlier thread, you will see me (in a red shirt) and my daughter. Look again and you will see she is bi-racial

Pie · 10-24-2008, 09:38 PM

Sarge, I certainly thought it was a valid question. It points to our warped view of race, and all the ugly history that went with it.

Big Sarge · 10-24-2008, 10:14 PM

We identify my daughter as Native American instead of white. Simply because she qualifies for some many programs not available to whites. Secretly, it has always bugged me because she was raised white and considered white by most people, but the government makes it advantageous for her to be a minority.

Sundae · 10-27-2008, 11:55 AM

Sarge, I never for one minute thought this was a question asked by a racist.

But thank you for sharing an aspect of your life. I didn't notice that your daughter was bi-racial, only how cute she was (not being ostentatiously liberal here, American skin tones aren't familiar to me).

I know people are against positive discrimination (I know there's another term in the US but I can't remember it). But there is a part of me that believes in paying for the sins of the father - probably from my religious upbringing. I don't mean you of course - I mean the legacy of racism. And also because children of mixed race may well meet difficulty and discrimination, so why shouldn't they benefit from something they didn't choose?

I would like to see positive discrimination scrapped, but in the mean time it is legal and if it is being offered to decent kids with a good work ethic then take it with both hands. They can then make enough money that the rest of society benefits, and be role models and mentors in turn. The previous sentence applies to people of every colour.

Affirmative Action? Hardly positive.
