I was wondering why the post by stupid.voter was so dangerous to anyone. I have posted pictures of my grandson. Talked about him. Other people have posted pictures of their kids too. Including showing pictures. So why would that post be so offensive?
Or was the justification of the KKKs action the real reason the post had to go? I mean, come on they were a bunch of murderous thugs who pretty much butchered, castrated and hung anyone they thought they could get away with. And vigilante action is never the right way.
Something wrong Matt? You seem less confident than a while ago.
Why don't the twits post the original image for the group.
I would like to see it, if you don't mind.
That was completely unfortunate and the scary thing is by his leaving whoever did it might be compelled to trying it again. So what should you do?

Well, first if your name has been on your blog for a while, removing it now is kind of a waste since anyone who prints the blog will have your name.
If you do get a phone call like Kirk? Hang up and right away (the sooner the better) call the PHONE company. If you call the police half the time they don't know the phone company can find out who called you. The phone company is the one with the equipment to find the caller and will notify the authorities. The more you delay before calling the phone company the better the chance someone gets away with it.
I'm skeptical about the Obama camp theory but I also wonder what idiot in the Hillary camp would call since Obama seems to be in a little quandry over the Rev. So it could have just been a random idiot.
Hmmmm...well if you listen to some, it's all about the NAFTA agreement. Others assign it to other things. The real reason your job is now in India, China, .... America is full. No more importing cheap labor for business so now American business is shipping your job overseas to cheaper labor markets.
I know this seems like a difficult concept but if you look at all of America's industries and how they started you will see the pattern. How did we build the railroads in the last century...imported Irish and Chinese labor (actually once they found out the Chinese would work cheaper the Irishmen were given the bum's rush).
Factory workers at the turn of the century? Textile workers in the 20s?

Think about it.
Another question. Why do our elected representatives have health care paid for by the government? Isn't this the first step towards a nationalized health care system? I thought America was for a health insurance system...or is that just for us losers? And why do they have health insurance when we don't?
I'm sure that shoe fits a lot of people. I doubt that Hillary or Obama do their own shopping. Or know the price of a gallon of milk, or anything else. But again, I could be wrong.
All I can say is with all the talk about names, Annie must have really struck a nerve. Although I do enjoy reading the mindless prattle of the psuedo-intellectual. I'll try to encourage her not to step on any more egos today, it looks like we have a surplus of squashed egos to go around. If it was not a gender change I would change my name to Portia. Although Portia did play the part of a man in the play...perhaps that was the first time someone cross-dressed. It also brings up another question, if Portia played the part of a man, would that really be a gender change. I guess I could change my name the Balthasar, but that's really Portia...hmmm. I shall now retire to another dimension to ponder the intracacies of this paradox.
Who do I want answering the phone at 3AM? Well that's an interesting question. I'm sure there are bound to be issues that come up requiring a snap decision at 3 AM, however, I believe a competent leader should be able to look at the issues that are on the radar screen and decide which ones should be addressed before ending the work day. Making a decision of any sort of magnitude at 3 AM is definitely not a good idea, anyone who follows human performance statistics will say that between the hours of 12 Midnight and 7 AM the chance for poor judgement is increased greatly.
I went to a rally once and one of the candidates told me the best way for energy improvement was to burn more fire wood. Imagine that, it does get warmer after forest fires. Maybe that's the true cause of global warming. Could be we are all being led down the road to our own destruction.
Well, that's nice. And Obama was never called g*, and Obama was never called a k*, and Obama was never called c*. Personally I am growing tired of the narcissism that controls some people. Instead of complaining, get some facts and start taking people to court. Believe me, it feels better in the long run.Oh and most of the racist left for the republican party in the 60s.
Yes, Eliot Spitzer resigns amid scandal and embarassment. However, his quick resignation saves the party from another Monicagate...right! WRONG!!! Once again, it shows the Democrats are willing to give up their principles without a fight...and the Repukes are willing to stick to their principles and violate the constitution at will. After all, his wife was standing next to him the entire time and the wire tap should have been about just one item, is he bribing someone (that is what the bank thought was happening). So I would probably guess he and she had an agreement regarding his extra curricular activities. If she doesn't care then why should we???? We are supposed to be the progressive party.
But what about Bush, we gave up fighting for Iraq and impeachment in the early stages, so we are now the party that lacks conviction...more interested in winning the election than doing what is right. The right thing right now is for Obama and Clinton to get on the plane and go back to Washington and fight HARD for the impeachment of both Bush and Cheney. Or we once again are not willing to follow through on our convictions and once again yielded the moral high ground to a bunch of criminals.
The economy is in the toilet, we are in a war we shouldn't be in, people are losing their houses and jobs left and right...and we are spending our time talking about the bedroom habits of political figures.
Well, looks like we have republicans in charge...again. Bottom line, who cares!

Impeachment, it's not just for blow jobs!!!
I always like it when someone starts using the Bible to support their argument. Imagine someone writing that the Bible does not support gays...try to remember that the concept of Apartheid was conceived by a misinterpretation from the Bible. What about Darfur (someone's favorite emotional subject)? Isn't that about religion? And wasn't Rwanda about??? And what about those white people in Serbia?
Bottom line when someone holds the Bible so close to their chest but shows no acceptance for anyone else you have to ask if they are hiding a lack of heart. Or just using it to promote their fears!!!! Somewhere I remember reading in government there was supposed to be a separation of church and state...I can't remember where! Well, it probably wasn't important!!!!
Yesterday on the one of the news shows (we are here to skew the information as we see fit) A campaign person did not answer a single question about Rezko. Why? If Obama has nothing to hide then that should have been an easy question to answer. I bring this up out of interest...sorry for anyone with the pollyanna attire on.
and thought of DINE

I'm sorry but I grew up in the farm lands of Illinois and the darkest skin tone I saw before High School was on the Guernsey cow in the field. I personally don't care about color, if you work with me I expect you to participate...if you are part of my society I think you should be a good member of society. As a non-supervisor I am not there to make anyone feel good about themself. That's their responsibility.
Is it racism when someone tells me my skin is not dark enough to comment on his blog?
I'm just confused on what exactly the current definition of racism is. I have seen the bitch word used pretty regularly but I never have seen the n* bomb! Why?
Bottom line, I'm starting to think about not voting at all...I wonder why?
