   I keep forgetting that the year is actually 1870 and every black male and female in the USA is a former slave and every white male and female in the USA is a former (or current) plantation owner slash slaveowner.

   Let me guess, the Stimulus Package contains a provision for giving 40 acres and a mule to each black family?

   Clyburn, the highest-ranking black lawmaker in the House, injected racial politics into their disagreement over what constitutes an earmark

   They must be mistaken.
   This is Post-racial America! Didn’t they get the memo?

   These racist blacks just won’t let go, obviously they are not looking out for the betterment of their bratha’s and sista’s…only out to use racism as a tool for themselves.

   mm you can’t be a racist, you are a multiple minority, hence exempt from racist thoughts or speech. only white males are CAPABLE of being racist, but soon we white males will be a minority also and then only latino males will be racists.

    House Dems already have a bill that will require anyone who owns or sells a handgun of any nature to have a license, and to register said weapon with the Feds.

    Playing with licenses is how DC screwed with Heller, (that, and the requirement any gun be kept unloaded with ammo far away).

    The law would be retroactive, if you already have a gun, you must register it, and get a federal gun license.

    See, McCain was pneumonia, but Obama and Pelosi will be end stage lung cancer.

    It never changes. Anytime black people are wrong, are not supported by the truth or the facts and cannot come up with a logical, reasonable means to get what they want they quickly turn to the race card.

    ALERT: ALL RACE CARDS INVALID AFTER JANUARY 20, 2009

    Get used to it; If PEBO fails, which he is destined to do, it will be the entire deck being played; I feel for the black folks that lack the common sense to see that being led by the likes of Clyburn just puts them further behind, but you can’t help those that won’t help themselves, a reality they themselves own; And the merry-go-round goes round and round.

    The worst part is that Clyburn wants to build a bridge to nowhere…literally…across Lake Marion in South Carolina. He got tangled up with environmentalist whackos (heh!), and the bridge has been stalled at least last I heard. Clyburn is racist not mention a ridiculous tool, but he’s in a gerrymandered district that is mostly black. He will never lose. However, his margin of victory keeps shrinking. He was “down” to a 67.48% margin of victory this year.

    You got it. That trump card is played every time facts get in the way of their plans. I’ve said it before. That card has been waaayyy overplayed and has lost its meaning for me. Call me racists all you want. 99.9% of the time it will mean I have used facts and logic that the receiver can’t refute.

    OK I get it.
    Bill Clinton said, ‘some people win the lottery of life”. That means that as a white male my excess achievements are predetermined and therefor have less value. People of color lost the lottery, so they need some of my winnings.
    Got it!

    House Democratic Whip James Clyburn (S.C.)

    How long before this hateful word is expunged from the political lexicon? I can’t believe some of our black congressional leaders have not anguished over this word, and how it’s usage brings back “hurtful” memories for many African-Americans…

    Jesse….?

    Al….?

    A more proper term would be Collaboration Enforcer…or Guilt Promoter…or Demagoguer in Chief.

    “[H]e happens to be a millionaire,” Clyburn said of Sanford. “He may not need help for the plantation his family owns, but the people whose grandparents and great-grandparents worked those plantations need the help” in the form of federal money.

    Are you looking for a hand up or a handout? No, Mr. Clyburn, what they need is a healthy economy based on fiscal discipline and free market principles and devoid of government tampering. But you can never understand that because you are a simpleminded Democrat lackey forever addicted to plantation handouts – this time the fruits of other working peoples labor. You sir are a thief in receipt of stolen property. Shut your mouth and sit down.

    The article pointed out that Rep Clyburn is ‘the highest-ranking black lawmaker in the House’ and did not mention the race of Gov Sanford. Being a political junkie, I know who is who, who is what. But, is it playing some kind of card, metioning the race of one person, and not the other?

    Gov Sanford has a point that Rep Clyburn did not address the question directly, and went off on an unnecessray tangent.

    Just make a trip to Columbia sometime and see all the monuments to himself that Clyburn has earmarked during his congressional career. He has even proposed his own version of a “bridge to nowhere.”

    Rep. Clyburn doesn’t know the whole history of slavery in his state:

    In Charleston, South Carolina in 1860 125 free Negroes owned slaves; six of them owning 10 or more. Of the $1.5 million in taxable property owned by free Negroes in Charleston, more than $300,000 represented slave holdings (5). In North Carolina 69 free Negroes were slave owners (6).

    In 1860 William Ellison was South Carolina’s largest Negro slaveowner. In Black Masters. A Free Family of Color in the Old South, authors Michael P. Johnson and James L. Roak write a sympathetic account of Ellison’s life. From Ellison’s birth as a slave to his death at 71, the authors attempt to provide justification, based on their own speculation, as to why a former slave would become a magnate slave master.

    Here is the link if you want to read to whole article on Black Owned Slaved in the Old South:

    I have to figure out how to get one of these race cards just think what I could get with no effort by just adopting a victim mentality with my hand out and being incapable of never feeling any shame. It appears in many sectors of our society the once proud American standard of self reliance and personal responsibility is quickly slipping away never to return.

    Well, he got me there… what can I say? But why does he have to single out women? That seems a little sexist to me. Sometimes I just feel pretty in a period dress.

    Unfortunately, the only time I get to post anymore is when I come into town from the plantation. There just arent enough slaves to power my electric generator these days. And times are tough, so I’m going to apply for a bailout for my plantation here in Savannah.

    At least in the meantime ( and since all races are out of work) its cheaper for me to outsource the cotton picking to the hispanics rather than recruit in Africa these days…. lord knows these white kids are too lazy to pick a row.
