As for the article above… one more reason I’m buying a guy by year’s end. If the cops can’t protect me and the law doesn’t cover me, I’ll handle it myself.

three men I would vote for instantly with no second thought!

Major, you’ve impressed me sir! Thank you for your service to this country!

Thank you, sir. That needed saying.

Thank you and your family, also, for your service. Please be so kind as to pass that along to your freshly minted Devil Dog.

You have my admiration…not for anything external, but your choices and character.

Nope. Most ACORN folks just honestly don’t know who their Daddies are. It’s a Ghetto thing, Bro!

I’m a staunchly conservative black American. My grandfather on my father’s side came over from Jamaica early in the last century. My grandmother on my mother’s side was the granddaughter of a slave. I was taught by both sides of the family to love the USA, work hard, and be the best I can be.

My father was a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars and served with distinction in both. Currently, I’m on my 20th year as an AF Reserve officer. I’m a Christian first, and because of that, often called “conservative” (my politics put me to the right of Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas).

I say all that to say, can we dispense with the assumption that everything untoward in this administration and it’s supporters has to do with black folks? Last time I checked, ACORN had plenty of white folks in it, and where I live, in ultra-Liberal WA state, the most likely persons to have hyphenated last names are decidedly lacking in melanin; in fact, I don’t know of any black folks, personally, with a hyphenated last name.

Then, there was some crack earlier in the “Swagga” about Obama not letting them “smoke their crack” with nary a qualification about who “they” were, if they were a subset of some one group or all of them. The implication was that it was all black people.

I don’t walk with a “swagga” and at 42, I’ve never worn my pants sagging, nor have I permitted my kids, particularly my son (who just graduated from USMC Recruiting Depot San Diego last week as a PFC) to walk with a “swagga”.

Getting to my point, it’s getting tiresome trying to tell the liberals I know that conservatives are not the racists, that in fact, LIBERALS are, when I constantly run into totally overbroad characterizations about black folks from the conservative camp. Yes, I’m aware of the pathologies that are inherent in American black subculture that are totally ruinous and I’m THE guy in my circles talking about it the most, but I also have the good sense to not make blanket statements that imply that everyone of ANY color is exactly the same as the next person of the same color. When you talk like that, it plays right into the stereotype of the white, secret racist that fills the ranks of the “conservative movement” where black folks like me play “Uncle Tom.”

NEWSFLASH: We don’t all look alike and we don’t all act alike.

Ummm, actually if you look at it these days, it is to uphold and defend the “Law” originally being the Constitution. That minor detail having been perverted, the Law Enforcement officials do not technically have any responsibility to protect citizens but only the law. That is how they have gotten away with this madness for so long … simply amazing what can be done with a little play on semantics.

Archetypal progressive Benito Mussolini famously said: All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state. Yet statists often find it useful to exploit cat’s paws that are technically outside of the government, like the “stude…
