Paul_Unalaska,
Thanks for your kind words. It is telling that One Of My Own and the Pastor of Muppets want to stay close to shore and wade in the shallow water. One of My Own is revealing himself, over time, to be Leninst. Notice that he doesn’t care about truth. He says something repeatedly so it will be adopted by others as truth, he admits this at his post at #91 above. This is an old Bolshevick tactic, and it pretty much discredits One of MY Own from now forward. He will do or say anything to further his cause, the ends justify the means.
Pastor of Muppets is more of your classic Ward Churchill leftist elitist, and racist to boot. When the average American looks at our society today they see a completely different racial picture than existed 40 years ago, a much more integrated nation. Racism in our country, while it still exists to some degree, has been marginalized. We are moving in the direction Martin Luther King envisioned, and while not perfect, are a much more economically and socially integrated society than we were when Dr. King was killed. Except not to Pastor, he views the world through his Al Sharpton glasses. I am sick and tired of Sharptonism, and as you can tell I take it quite personally. Remember it was the southern Democrats who fought the civil rights movement in the 1960′s, not the Republicans. People like Al Gores father, George Wallace, Robert Byrd; they stood against civil rights and the implementation of Brown Vs Board of Education. I have an ancestor who joined the Union army at 15, initially as a drummer boy. He eventually became an infantryman. I don’t accept being called a racsist, as it insulting to my family, in addition to being false.
Let’s keep up the TEA party cause, Americans are waking up and they are beginning to see that we will be bankrupt if we don’t change course. Our historic prosperity came from capitalism and free enterprise, not from the failed ideology of favoring the unproductive over the productive.
