The Strawmen….. weren’t they the guys who sang “Where Have All The Flowers Gone” at the big Harmonic Convergence party some years ago as they tried to raise money for Michael Dukakis’ campaign?

Nice strawmen, Robby. Did you go to the learning annex to pick up how to weave them so well?

“the Democrats policy of relentlessly painting conservatives with the white-christian supremacy brush in order to secure the black vote is the most hateful, oppressive and intolerant tactic used by either party.”

worse than implying that anyone who doesn’t support Bush’s war “loves Saddam”?

I don’t think so.

Has there been another time in history when so many otherwise intelligent [although I'm beginning to have my doubts on this one] people have made so many outrageous remarks? If the Democrats are trying to convince us that they can’t be trusted with national security, they’re overdoing it.

Well, Hillary might have been expected to do just that, as part of her disingenuous act to curry favor by pretending to move away from the left fringe. But she must be slipping, as she forgot to put on the phony face for this issue. Not only did she not even mildly criticize Durbin, but she gave him a boost by taking up his Gitmo agenda.

Evon,
How often do you challenge what you agree with?

Anyone notice how precious few liberals/leftists/Democrats have challenged Sen. Durbin about his outrageous comments?

OR, one of us supporter bloggers could open a thread on our blogs. I am sure LB would be happy to link OT traffic your way.

LaShawn should have an open comment thread so all of us “transplants” can find our favorite foods in our adopted hometowns.

Great post and great site! I agree with another commentator that your views are refreshing, excellent description. If you had to place a label on me in the context of this post it would be white libertarian, however, I want to label myself simply Christian. I too can confess that in the past I have said and thought “bad things” about other people, but the good news is that I have confessed and am forgiven. Prayer helps a great deal, for myself and for others who still let hate fill their life.

At work, we have a wonderful atmosphere where many believers openly share our faith with one another. I am always pleased to pass another believer and call him “brother”, irregardless of his skin color, and he to me.

Once again, great site!

S & T, I do the same thing, and I’m so white I’m pink.

I have a tendency to push a bit too hard on the gas pedal, so I’ve had the opportunity to meet a number of state troopers during their duty hours. With the dangerous garbage they have to face every day, I’m not about to give them any reason to suspect me of anything. I show them courtesy, and get the same in return. I tell them right up front that I’m a concealed weapons permit holder, and tell them the location of any firearms. This open behavior always results in a non-confrontational outcome, and probably fewer speeding tickets than I really deserve.

Now does anyone know where I can find a genuine Indiana-style breaded tenderloin sandwich in Florida? No one down here has a clue. Bunch of food philistines around here.

Tiffany – Iâ€™ve gotten used to being followed in stores and learned to keep my hands on the steering wheel when being pulling over for a speeding ticket.

I haven’t been followed around a store since I was a teenager, but I DO keep my hands on the wheel when pulled over. I even tell the officer my every move before I execute it…’insurance/registration is in the glove compartment’…’driver’s right here in my wallet’. That’s not a ‘black’ thing, that’s common sense.

BTW, there is no decent bbq in Minneapolis, is there? At least not good Texas bbq.

Oh, my! There they go again. Yes La Shawn, you are being used along with Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Armstrong Williams, Larry Elder, Condaleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Janice Rogers Brown and a host of other black conservatives. Oh, I forgot to mention latino conservatives, chinese conservatives, native American conservatives. All are being used by the white power elite cabal.

On the other hand, could it possibly be that Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, Kwesi Mfume, et al might just have it wrong? After all, they’re surrounded by a fairly powerful white power elite cabal too…Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, Charles Shumer, et al.

It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with values and fundamental beliefs.
