It is rank temerity that immediately below the head-shot of Condi
the sub-headline, (presumably) from another story, that democrats
will be known ‘by their fruits”, as in ‘as ye sow, so shall ye reap”.
The ‘do as we say, not as we do’ traditional parental hypocrisy that
most offspring recognize as their first taste of ‘bullshit’, epitomizes
the Republican WH and Congressional Leadership.
“say one thing, do somethin’ different’ should be emblazoned on the
crypt of every hedonistic member of this administration. They are
crass and unconscionable. And Condi is joined at the hip.
GNDN, Frank.

From inside the issue:
Carter G. Woodson
(1875 – 1950)
“Switch parties if you are not being represented.”
These are the words of Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, distinguished Black author, editor, publisher, and historian. Carter G. Woodson believed that Blacks should know their past in order to participate intelligently in the affairs in our country. He strongly believed that Black history – which others have tried so diligently to erase – is a firm foundation for young Black Americans to build on in order to become productive citizens of our society.
Known as the father of Black history, Dr. Woodson at the peak of the Harlem Renaissance established “Negro History Week” in 1926 during the second week of February to commemorate the birthday of abolitionist and orator Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln. Woodson sought to create a forum that later became Black History Month. He was also instrumental in the founding of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915.
Thanks for the tip, Oliver. I’ll post it to my blog. Without a link, of course.
Frank- take a tip from someone who agrees with you most of the time. Regardless of you sparring with Oliver, to NOT link is silly.
Own and be secure in your ideas, and give credit when it is due, even if it linking to childish attempted ridicule.
Frank-you’re in what the docs call a dissociative state. You guys will never get the black vote, never ever. One day they’re gettin’ uppity at a Civil Rights heroine’s memorial and the next you’re inviting them ‘into the tent’. The Republicans left Lincoln behind when they let Nixonian politics grab the core of the party. Even if you doctrinaire true believer ‘conservatives’ can’t remember anything that happened before 9/11 the black community has a memory that goes back somewhat longer. The few prominent African-Americans who are working to further the administration’s agenda are all well rewarded for it. Please seek treatment for your obviously full blown disorder.
So Frank, why would black people switch parties to the Republicans? I can see why Zell Miller types would. But why black people? I know all the stuff about being “taken for granted” and all – the same goes for every group – but there would have to be a logical reason for African Americans to support the Republicans, not just a wish that they would “see the light.”
Marty: Oliver makes fun of my blog on about a weekly basis, and has never linked to it, or for that matter, even mentioned its content. He has dismissed it as a “fan fic” (quite a derogatory term, if you don’t know what it means) for so long, that other commenters have taken to doing the same thing, some of whom may never have read it. That is more obnoxious than anything than I’ve ever done. And that’s why I’ve reminded him of it.
Elrod: I could ask you why blacks continue to support Democrats The Democrats, acting either alone, or in spite of Republican opposition, have done nothing for blacks outside of the FDR – Kennedy – Clinton “I feel your pain” spin. The two big Civil Rights acts they take credit for were passed over southern Democrat opposition, and with Republican cooperation. The Democrats got way more out of those two bills than they deserved, considering they were little more than clarifications of of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, which could have been handled quite nicely in the Attorney General’s office. What was his name again?
Impor: I would suggest that your imperious tone says more about the (lack of) fitness of your mental state, than it does mine. It might help you to recall that in 1927, when Herbert Hoover was sent to the Mississippi River to oversee the emergency operations down there, Democrats probably told Alfred E. Smith, “He’s no competition for you.”
And Republicans probably thought, “Well, we know the Democrats will never get the black vote, never ever.”
Incidentally, you probably know less about psychiatry than you do about politics: You don’t know the difference between a “state” (a symptom) and a “disorder” (an array of symptoms). I can assure you, I have neither the symptom, nor the disorder. Sometimes I consider myself unlucky that I have only one personality, but try as I might, I can not “dissociate” and spring into another one. You really need to look this stuff up, before you make a fool of yourself.
elrod:
Was it the Republicans or the Democrats that claimed black people and other minorities needed more time to vote? i.e. were too stupid to vote in a timely fashion?
It’s kind of funny how many more educated black professionals are republicans.
It’s almost like when you get an education and get your information from people other than your race-baiting “pastors” who make a living with the racial shakedown, you realize that the democrats haven’t real done african americans much good….
it is kinda funny how many people with money are republican then democrats regardless of race…
I wonder why? Dr “tard’ Pedro!
“So Frank, why would black people switch parties to the Republicans? ”
Good Student Dugger, stabbing hand in the air repeatedly: Ask me, ask me!!
Dugger
OMG – I thought that was a Photoshop joke – it’s for real
)
Frank : in answer to your question – it’s called voting for the lesser of two evils – done bedrudgingly.
Pedro: Of all the educated, successful black professionals I know (self included) I can count on one hand the number who are republicans. Most are liberals and moderates.
well hell if you count moderates…so am I .
The point stands, there are MORE republican blacks as the level of education increases…why do you think that is?
I wonder about the demographic and ethnic makeup of the magazine’s editorial board. Just curious.
Well, buma, according to their by – laws, anybody who pays the dues can be a member, and anyone who is a member can run for office.
Doesn’t sound like a typical liberal or Democratic black organization to me.
rainlion: Frank : in answer to your question – it s called voting for the lesser of two evils – done bedrudgingly.
You know the comeback to that one — you wake up the next day, knowing that, win or lose, you voted for an evil man.
Hmm… maybe I’m missing the nuances here, but the magazine is called “Black Republican” and Dr. Rice is a black Republican. Sounds about right to me.
And it sounds like the ones tossing around the “uppity” attitude are the Democrats. “No, lissen here, you poor little African-Americans. We know what’s best for you, so you stick with us. Don’t you go paying no mind to those evil Republicans. And if you do go off with them, you’ll surely regret it — no matter what we have to do to you to make sure you regret it.”
And it sounds a bit like the Democratic party has a bit of a plantation attitude of its own…
