Gates And Race Politics

September 20, 2004

The last time I mentioned Henry Louis Gates, it was in reference to skin color preferences at Harvard University, where Gates is a professor. See this post. In July, he and Lani Guinier (Bill Clinton’s “Quota Queen”) wanted to commission a waste-of-time-and-money study to determine why black immigrants outnumbered and outperformed black Americans at the [...]

The Scandal Monster Grows

September 19, 2004

Until Dan Rather or CBS comes clean or Congress completes an investigation, this thing is not going away anytime soon, as much as I want it to. I’m following the big bloggers following the news on this, so I’ll update this post periodically. Do you think Congress should investigate ? Power Line weighs in. The [...]

Black Primary Voters Decline

September 18, 2004

Interesting: Attempts to fire up Broward County’s black voters apparently failed last month with turnout sinking to its lowest of the past three primary elections in key minority precincts, according to a South Florida Sun-Sentinel analysis. The study showed a 33 percent decline in 10 of the county’s largest black precincts when comparing the Aug. [...]

Speechless. This is sad, too.

The Failure of Journalism

September 18, 2004

What do other journalists think of CBS’s sloppy and overzealous attempt to bring George Bush down a peg or two? I’ll update this post throughout the day with their views, as well as new information from other bloggers. Ryan Pitts, a journalist, offers his comment. Semi-related: Is there a Kerry cover-up going on? JustOneMinute has [...]

No More Linking

September 17, 2004

Thanks for your patience. The comments (and other things) seem to be working now. I was experimenting with a few things and I deleted something I shouldn’t have. I’ve decided to disallow linking. It was too much trouble constantly going in to approve comments and deleting comments sent multiple times. The only HTML tags allowed [...]

Do Some Dare Call It Treason?

September 17, 2004

MoveOn.org has released a new anti-Bush video. I’d heard from various sources that it depicted an American soldier surrendering in Iraq. I pictured one of our men surrounded by rag tag thugs with machetes at his throat. I was ready to blow my stack until I saw the video. It’s just the usual useless garbage. [...]

FDR’s Raw Deal?

September 17, 2004

Damon W. Root, writing for Reason, reviews two books on Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal and race policies: Franklin Delano Roosevelt ranks near or at the very top of almost every standard list of America’s greatest presidents. But there is a substantial part of the American public for whom the legendary four-termer did little: African [...]

Did CBS’s Source Call Bush Hitler?

September 17, 2004

Can’t ignore it, folks. I have to keep you updated on Dan Rather’s forged memos. The Houston Chronicle says: If Burkett does prove to be the source of the documents, CBS got them from a man with a well-established history of Bush loathing. In an article Burkett wrote for the Internet last year he compared [...]

Irreverent Reverends, Part II

February 2003 Joining the irreverent Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton is Reverend Carlton W. Veazey, another minister of the Gospel who supports “choice.” Veazey is president and CEO of a group once known as the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights (can you believe it?), now disguised as the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC).

John Kerry’s Racist Rhetoric

September 17, 2004

Racist — One who holds the belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. For the past week or so, I’ve been trying to ignore the fact that John Kerry is an elitist race panderer who’s going to get a lot of black [...]

Black Women And Child Killing

September 16, 2004

This is a fetus at 15 weeks. In the United States, babies in utero can be killed after 24 weeks for “serious health reasons” only. Child killing transcends race. If that sentence was unclear, let me say it another way. I don’t care what color a baby is, as long as he lives. I read [...]

Breaking News: Bush Family Is Wealthy

September 16, 2004

The Democratic National Committee just spent I-don’t-know-how-much money producing a video that claims George W. Bush grew up a privileged son of a privileged son. The low-rent video, Fortunate Son, is a slam on Bush because his family is rich. This is it, people. This is the best Democrats can do: class envy and racial [...]
