But last I checked, the guy at the bottom doesn’t generally do as much for me as the guy at the top.

So God Bless the Rich People, may they keep offering me a job.

I think that that begs the question, is she trying to have it both ways…like, who is she really going to look out for?

As President of the United States, shouldn’t she be looking out for both groups?

Life is not the Andy Griffith Show. Not for black Americans, anyway. And it’s not because America is wrong, it’s because we don’t always live up to our country’s promise.

Mot for white Americans either. Why do you think America’s promise implies white people will not suffer racial insult?

America’s promise was not a guaranteed result, but an environment for liberty. America lives up to its promise although those who demand guaranteed results are eroding the promise.

People do not live up to the Bible. I give the example of Rev Wright calling upon God to damn a nation. Now there is a man not living up to Christ or the God of Abrahm who spared Nineveh

Michelle’s problem is her sense that victimhood is a one way street. There is no room in the Bible for a double standard on sin

Probably the best post I’ve read from you. Well done.

She does not know what an ATM is (but treats your bank account as one).

Now, she has a burly man (NOTE: not Wild Bill because he does not have clue either) show her where the gas tank is (despite a picture on the gauge telling you which side the filler tube is on). The one thing that should scare you is how she holds the nozzel-like the gun she used to shoot in the woods. Makes me think she has no holding us hostage to foreign oil.

All of these incidents and Obombem’ relationships with ‘far left’ wacko’s on the verge of falling off the flat earth they created, gives credence to Dizzy Dean’s idea that the Demoncrates should choose another candidate for President. But who would that be?

Happy Sunday! Just another fantastic day in America, might be a good day to visit the zoo. What do you think? This pinup is by Art Frahm, with a wee bit of help.
So, what is happening in ye olde blogosphere?

She’s a black gal in one of the most ethnically diverse countries on the freaking planet.

quith CIA World Factbook:

http://geography.about.com/library/cia/blcusa.htm

“white 81.7%, black 12.9%, Asian 4.2%, Amerindian and Alaska native 1%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.2% (2003 est.)
note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean a person of Latin American descent (including persons of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin) living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.)”

Since we know self-described Hispanics/Latinos constitute about 20-25% of the population, you can shave about 15 points off the white listing (not even counting illegals, who would not get a Census and further slash the white majority.), as seen here:

She’s a black gal in a country that found slavery so appauling we had a war over it where hundreds of thousands of Americans died. Do they still teach the Civil War in school, or have out education overlords replaced that with classes on the proper use of condoms for “alternative lifestyles?”

Does any black person seriously consider the United States the worst place they could possibly live? There’s plenty of black guys and black gals in Sierra Leone who had their hands amputaded by an evil and corrupt black dictator. We’ve had several stories on the tyranny of Mugabe, whose entire premise was to hurt the white man in a country with pretty much reverse statistics to the US (75% black).

Race in America is most often used as a political power ploy by Democrats who want to see black guys and black gals permanently stuck on welfare and completely dependent on the government. Why keep them as voteless slaves when they are now more useful to you as a near-monolithic voting bloc?

Michelle Obama is, at least by her own life story, the “whitest” first lady out there. So plagued is she by the fact she managed to escape the crime, drugs, and dependency of the gutter that she wrote an entire thesis imputing the university that gave her an education most people of any race would want for themselves or their children. I’m a lower-middle class white guy. My family is too rich to go to Princeton (e.g. no one will throw us grant money just for being born a certain race or gender). We also can’t afford it, so I, llike most lower-middle class white guys, survive based on sheer intelligence and work ethic. I’d balk if I ever had to take a welfare check from the government. I’d rather be dead than depend on those slime.

I’m tired of demagogues like Sharpton and Jackson, who I in my heart of hearts think they are nothing more than “professional black people.” Why work a real job when people are willing to pay you to issue grievances against the white man? I won’t be surprised if Rev. Wright joins Sharpton and Jackson to form the Holier-than-thou Trinity of Racist Reverends.

You think it’s so bad to be a black person in America? Tell your fellow blacks to stop shooting, raping, and abandoning each other. It was nearly impossible to break up a black family before 1950, now there’s a 70% illegitimacy rate. Was there a sudden outbreak in systemic racism in those years that forced blacks to discount their marriages and abandon their families? How much damage did Affirmative Action really do? I thought it was supposed to help.

To be honest, I place all my blame on the sexual de-evolution and the gangster subculture. Combine the two and you get a heaping helping of mysogyny with a side of responsibility-free anarchy. Stop blaming the “white country” for your black problems, blame “black leaders” who have sold you into an all-new version of slavery: Complete and total dependence on the government.

She’s a black gal in a white country. It may not seem that way anymore, but that’s how she grew up.

It’s all fine and dandy when we can go through our days npot thinking about race in America. But, when you’re black in America, you know ev-er-y day that you’re black in America.

As much as we’re all sick of it all, it’s still true. Even an able woman like Michelle Obama can still — no matter how glorious her success — remember that she is black in America.

Race in America is not nothing. Race ANYWHERE is not nothing.

We all have prejudices that we’re never even aware of. Cripples. Kids. “Slowness”. Sex. Age. Taste in music, even. We make constantly make choices and don’t care who thinks what about it.

You’d all likely jump all over me if I said “Racism exists in America”. But would you jump on me if I simply said “racism exists”?

Are we, as Americans, so blinded by our own beloved rhetoric that we’ve blinded ourselves to reality?

Life is not the Andy Griffith Show. Not for black Americans, anyway. And it’s not because America is wrong, it’s because we don’t always live up to our country’s promise.

Ronald Reagan said (from memory): “We believe that all Americans are created equal in the eyes of God. But, as Americans, that is not enough. As Americans, we must be equal in the eyes of each other”

It’s strikes me that there’s only one person in this race that deserves the level of hatred some people place on Hilary: Michele Obama.

Hillary is misguided but she probaly loves her country

MIchelle O…not so much if at all

It’s strikes me that there’s only one person in this race that deserves the level of hatred some people place on Hilary: Michele Obama. Michele seems to actually hate America like Rev. Wright–despite any efforts I make to interpret her sympathetically. I predict that some day it will come out that B. Hussein stayed at Trinity because Michele wanted the family there. We’ll see over the next five years if my prediction is correct. Until I see evidence to the contrary, I would argue that Michele Obama hating is ok, but even it should be kept reasonable. And of course, we must remember that B. Hussein is not Michele. In fact, B. Hussein is probably the victim of her bad temper.

God bless us…

Hillary put two of the Left’s most hated nouns, “God” and “rich people,” in the same sentence!

Cicero43 on May 3, 2008 at 6:04 PM

ftfy.

that she used this phrase in the same way that an atheist like the big A has used it many times on this very site

yikes, talking bout yourself in the third person?

first sign of dementia dude

and what’s this about “the big A”?

I heard you were short and really handsome

Tom Cruise complex?

God bless rich people?

Nah nah nah nah nah!

God damn rich people! It’s in the Democrat playbook.

LOL! Nicely done.

Nah nah nah nah nah!

God damn rich people! It’s in the Democrat playbook.

Heh.

Tuning Spork on May 3, 2008 at 7:48 PM

Yeah, kinda like simply staying home and raising her own child, while putting her career and material desires on hold, would have been a (gasp!) novel and “magnanimous” act.

Hillary’s paraphrasing the ol’ “God bless ‘em”. Like a Yankees fan saying: “Oh, those Red Sox fans, God bless ‘em, they sure are annoying.”

But then she stresses “US” to make sure, as she’s done quite a bit in the past few years, to remind us that she’s one of the rich folks who don’t deserve to keep their own money. She wants to convince us that her raising our taxes is a magnanimous act on her part.
