To be quite honest I was very surprised that the Big “O” didn’t try to get her into his cabinet somewhere. Secretary of “Ticking off our Allies” maybe?

Slightly OT, but this regards Ogabe’s appointees: is it possible that with the rainy/cloudy weather we’ve had ad nauseum here in the Northeast, that maybe DuhWon surreptitiously appointed Bill Ayers as his “Weather Czar”?

Thimk about it…just a randumb thought, I guess.

Thank you for the most laughs I have had at Hot Air… Please Israel, keep her.

Same here. I can’t stop laughing at the comments from all these witty HA people.

Of course, I know that a former US legislator being on the side of Hamas is no laughing matter.

(But oh, just look at her hair. Was it her bad-hair day?)

Other than being a convenient target for “Buckwheat” comments, why is this mug still being displayed on HA?

It’s not like we’re having a slow news cycle these days.

Hot Air, you know you’re better than this…

I kind of wondered about that too. I’m tired of looking at her.

Shame that the folks here don’t even recognize how offensive and racist their comments are…or they don’t care.

Neil deGrasse Tyson has a degree in astrophysics (I think) which is worthy of note. But he’s more a pitch man for space and astronomy as the head of the planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History than a researcher.

“[George Washington]Carver’s work resulted in the creation of 325 products from peanuts, more than 100 products from sweet potatoes and hundreds more from a dozen other plants native to the South. These products contributed to rural economic improvement by offering alternative crops to cotton that were beneficial for the farmers and for the land. During this time, Carver also carried the Iowa State extension concept to the South and created “movable schools,” bringing practical agricultural knowledge to farmers, thereby promoting health, sound nutrition and self-sufficiency…”

Sheesh. That’s worse than tacky. Don’t go racist on what professions to which blacks are limited. The caste system only goes as far IN AMERICA as people self apply.

There is a “cultural” choice people make from which generalities can be rather predictable. Regardless of race or socio-economic status, all who discard their education doom what further opportunities will likely be open.

Gangs are the street criminal version of the elitist fraternities that also seek to manipulate power over the lives of subservient workers. Obviously there are huge distinctions. But there’s a generalization morons can grab and shake.

My gripe with any “special” minority is when they just won’t throw into the American e pluribus unum Dream without hanging onto their self righteous bitter chip on the shoulder. Ex: Obama.

America’s been blessed with great black scientists, judges, humanitarians, etc. True enough, it all boils down to the quality of character.

No doubt, but those are exceptions…look at the stats.
70% unwed mothers…70% drop out of high school…Unemployment off the chart (reported 13.4%, but you know it is much higher)….
In the 50’s black society was one of the most stable, moving into “middle America” economically, and socially if the dems hadn’t blocked most of the Republican bills.
You can’t take a few great examples, and then use them as a template of success…with literally trillions of dollars spent since the “great society”. The black family, and the black culture has been torn apart…they were once conservative, when they were stable, being educated, but the dems can’t afford that. After 40 years of controlling the schools, look what they have wrought.
And you say don’t go racist…don’t go and be foolish.
If stating the fact that black society has suffered under the liberal control, makes someone a racist, then they will forever be caught in that web…you fell into the typical (and you are not) liberal knee jerk statement.
Black society needs an injection of conservative values…or they will continue down the spiral path of destruction and anger.
They need reality, not a pat on the head from you…

right2bright,

You worded a statement very poorly, reflecting poorly on us all. You compound that by ignoring Christ’s admonition to refrain from calling someone a fool.

As an egalitarian, I do not presume the ostentatious habit of doling out pats unless on the back for morale. That you would taint my character is a poor reflection on your own self defense mechanism.

We’ve responded with each other on former occasions and have read each others’ responses for years now. You acknowledge “()” that I am not a Leftist. But that you presume to lecture me to the error of my thinking, IGNORING the MANY posts I’ve consistently written condemning progressive Socialism for enabling the downfall of American society given the multitude of 20th Century Democrat presidential agendas, leaves your position beneath what I find worthy of further affiliation.

They should have let her go and distribute the toys and bandaids. With any luck… you know…

CNN Reports: Well known humanitarian, Human Rights Activist and Green Party Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney has been crushed to death. Appearantly McKinney with 20 activists where in the process of bringing supplies to people of Gaza. Upon using the underground tunnels that were used by Hamas to defend themselves against the savages of Isreal simply collapsed. President Obama has stated that he is deeply troubled by this and has ordered an independant commity to ensure that Isreal was not involved.

Quick: name 2 great black scientists.

Name one.

There are many unsung heroes in life. National fame is recognized well enough. But there are also those working behind the scenes accomplishing reputable work.
