Bush Acknowledges Racism Still Exists
He failed to say it is a 2 way street! Full text of the speech is here.
Michelle points out:
What a squandered opportunity. Bush could have hit back hard at the race exploiters who shamelessly accused him of hating black people and suppressing black votes and causing Hurricane Katrina.
As for the lingering existence of racism, the President could have used his platform to excoriate NAACP leftists for doing and saying nothing while liberal bigots relentlessly attack minority members of his administration and the Republican Party.
Could have. But didn’t. You learn not to expect so much from a White House more concerned with La Raza, CAIR, and the NAACP than with its own base.Give credit to the Associated Press for noting in the bottom of this story just WHY President Bush hasn’t addressed the NAACP for the past five years (ie, Julian Bond’s searing rhetoric and of course the noxious James Byrd ad) but notice today just how few other media outlets pick up on the reason? (ie, leaving it out makes Bush look insensitive and racist, just the way the MSM want him portrayed).
La Shawn Barber on the NAACP: “Dinosaurs galore!”
July 20, 2006 - 01:42 PM on July 20th, 2006
Yeah, I was a little disappointed in him for that. Right here in Maryland Michael Steele has been harassed by leftists over and over again.
Far as I’m concerned a little reminder that it goes both ways wouldn’t have hurt. And it would have been politically correct would it not? Aren’t african american republicans entitled to the same respect?
July 20, 2006 - 02:04 PM on July 20th, 2006
“african american republicans”
All 20 of them?
July 20, 2006 - 02:19 PM on July 20th, 2006
“And I understand that many African-Americans distrust my political party.”
“(APPLAUSE)”
July 20, 2006 - 03:27 PM on July 20th, 2006
Too bad Bush didn’t have the balls to point that that the biggest engine of racism in society today is the affirmative action machine, and that the biggest institution of racism is the Democrite Virtual Plantation. And that the biggest racists, in addition to the Leftist elite, are the race baiters, racemongers, and professional poverty pimps exemplified by Jessie Hijackson.
July 20, 2006 - 03:28 PM on July 20th, 2006
“african american republicansâ€
All 20 of them?
That figure doesn’t include the hotel staff…
July 21, 2006 - 05:01 AM on July 21st, 2006
“And I understand that many African-Americans distrust my political party.â€
(Applause from plantation dwellers)
July 21, 2006 - 06:58 AM on July 21st, 2006
There still is racism reverse racism and the NAACP,Nation of Islam and others are trying to use it its time to end AFERMATIVE ACTION and OBE and other racisis nonsense:mad:
July 21, 2006 - 07:51 AM on July 21st, 2006
the NAACP is a RACIST organization..by it’s very definition.
Racists..
Robert KKK Byrd
Kwesi Mfume
Al Sharpton
Jesse Jackson
Louis Farrakhan
these are some of the biggerst RACISTS the world has ever known.
Bush didn’t help himself by going begging the plantation owners for some slaves….he’d be better off stating the following
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen… I’m here, not to beg for your support, but to try and figure out why you slavishly give it to the democratic party. Has welfare improved the lives of inner city blacks over the past 40 years? Are your children receiving first class educations in these “public schools”? Are there more stable 2 parent families in the inner city?
If the answer to these 3 questions is “no”, which it obviously is….ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?
thank you.
July 21, 2006 - 09:09 AM on July 21st, 2006
He also should note that they’ve been giving their votes blindly to the Dems for all these years based on fear tactics and promises they have no intention of keeping, and what has it gotten them? Now that Hispanics are soon going to be the top minority group in size in this country, guess which group will be even less of a factor.
July 21, 2006 - 10:07 AM on July 21st, 2006
I’m LOVING watching you guys squirm on this one…:lol:
July 21, 2006 - 10:13 AM on July 21st, 2006
“Now that Hispanics are soon going to be the top minority group in size in this country, guess which group will be even less of a factor?”
Umm…Republicans?
A majority of Hispanics have been voting Democrat the last few elections.
AND, with the way that you people have treated their immigrant brothers and sisters, I won’t be surprised if Hispanics vote in larger numbers for Dems in the next election.
I told you people earlier, you are wasting a BIG opportunity to get the next largest group of voters in the US in your pocket…but you wanted to follow xenophobic policies instead.
We’ll see where it takes you…
July 21, 2006 - 10:16 AM on July 21st, 2006
The difference is, SF.. we don’t make choices, or govern based on “large groups” or “potential voters”…. we govern on priciple….and WIN ELECTIONS.
July 21, 2006 - 10:33 AM on July 21st, 2006
“we govern on priciple…”
Yeah, I guess. The principles of BIGOTRY (gay rights), FEAR (war-mongering) and GREED. Pretty fucking sad if you ask me.
“…and WIN ELECTIONS.”
Hmmm…in the past maybe, but your team is getting kicked in the NUTS right now, the American people are sick of you guys and are itching for a change in direction.
You are in danger of losing control of the House in the next few months…
Your “agenda” is screwed if that happens.
July 21, 2006 - 10:50 AM on July 21st, 2006
“…but your team is getting kicked in the NUTS right now,”
Really? Where? How? You mean like San Diego, where the election to replace Duke Cunningham was supposed to be a big win for the Democrites. It was supposed to be a bellwether of the future, the upcoming sea change of support and the rise of the Democrites!
July 21, 2006 - 12:42 PM on July 21st, 2006
11: Umm…no.
What American president sent Elian back to Cuba?
Angered a lot of Cubans in FL as well, if memory serves.
July 21, 2006 - 12:49 PM on July 21st, 2006
Good call, Sasha. I wonder how Hispanics in Florida feel about the democrite party, as led by Billy BJ, assisted by Janet Waco and her Goon Squad that converged on that 5-yr old.
Even massive, organized, systematic voter fraud by the ‘Crites won’t ever swing that State to the Plantation.
July 21, 2006 - 02:29 PM on July 21st, 2006
Sasha…Kerry got more Hispanic votes in Florida back in 2004 than Bush did. (!)
And the Miami area also went to Kerry.
———————————————
“Even massive, organized, systematic voter fraud by the ‘Crites won’t ever swing that State to the Plantation.”
Yeah right, Robert. You do know that one of the two senators from Florida is a Democrat, don’t you?
July 21, 2006 - 02:43 PM on July 21st, 2006
So you’re saying the ‘Crites control Florida? Repub Governor, Florida went for Bush 2x, uh yeah…the Dems just be runnin’ dat show!
Smack! And another one clears the fence!!!
July 21, 2006 - 02:57 PM on July 21st, 2006
Do you eat paint chips?
Are you autistic and endlessly fixated on Baseball???
You sound a little “slow” to me up in the head. No offense or anything, I’m just saying.
Anyways, NO, I’m not saying Dems “control Florida”. I’m merely pointing out that you think Florida is entirely Red…and it’s not. They have a Dem for on one their two Senators, and that says a lot about there being a Democratic base in the state. Also, the statewide hispanic vote (which grows more and more each year) votes majority Democrat.
Can you understand that? Or should you ask a kid to help you translate the big words?
July 21, 2006 - 03:04 PM on July 21st, 2006
I’m merely pointing out that you think Florida is entirely Red:and it’s not.
I NEVER said it is entirely red. I just said the Dems would never control it. And what I said was correct. They don’t and won’t. Ypur wrongness % is what, 95% or so now? Or is it higher?
The speed on that one was down to 70 MPH, SFL. And it went out of the park.
Batter up!
July 21, 2006 - 03:15 PM on July 21st, 2006
SF: I’m not referring to the Hispanics in this instance. When I wrote “guess which group will be even less of a factor,” I was referring to the blacks.
July 21, 2006 - 03:16 PM on July 21st, 2006
He missed the point again, Sasha. Either deliberately or ignorantly. Same result. Same flawed thinking. Same flawed conclusion.
July 21, 2006 - 03:19 PM on July 21st, 2006
…same weak, ad hominem attack from Robert.
I don’t think the man could debate like an adult if someone paid him.
July 21, 2006 - 03:21 PM on July 21st, 2006
Sasha, I was refering toyour #15 post and to Roberts #16 where he said:
“I wonder how Hispanics in Florida feel about the democrite party”
That’s why I said the Hispanics vote majority Democrat.
Get it?
July 21, 2006 - 03:22 PM on July 21st, 2006
looks like ROBERT missed the point.
What’s your reading comprehension level robert? 3rd grade?
just…read…slow…next…time….
July 21, 2006 - 03:25 PM on July 21st, 2006
But SF, Following the thread, my #15 goes to your #11, in which you responded to #9.
July 21, 2006 - 03:29 PM on July 21st, 2006
“I don’t think the man could debate like an adult if someone paid him.”
Another lame, no-information-content opinion piece as a placeholder for something of substance.
There are threads on this site where you bugged out of the discussion when you were cornered (or painted yourself into a corner). The “debates” typically end up with you posting no real information just opinion, you deliberately misstating or mischaracterizing the topic to set up a straw man, or you just bugging out when the going gets tough.
So you calling for a debate is like a blind man calling for an eye chart.
July 21, 2006 - 03:32 PM on July 21st, 2006
yeah, so?
You said hispanics will be a larger voting block than blacks (#9)…I went on to say that hispanics also vote majority Democrat (#11)…And then you said that republicans might be favored because of that cuban boy event(#15)…and then I said that Florida STILL had majority of hispanics voting in 2004..years after that event.
So…again, I ask…what’s your point?
July 21, 2006 - 03:33 PM on July 21st, 2006
”
looks like ROBERT missed the point.
What’s your reading comprehension level robert? 3rd grade?
just:read:slow:next:time:.”
This…from the maestro of missing the point. Of being unable to read and comprehend a simple comparison statement. Of deliberately mischaracterizing the point, or statements made by others…
65 MPH…and dropping…
July 21, 2006 - 03:36 PM on July 21st, 2006
“There are threads on this site where you bugged out of the discussion when you were cornered (or painted yourself into a corner).”
While I’m here a lot, I can’t stay on it 24/7. SF Libs got to sleep sometime! I’m not bugging out…I’m probably going home!
“The “debates”typically end up with you posting no real information just opinion”
This…coming from you…the RightVoices King of Ad Hom…:lol: I almost just fell out of my chair!
“So you calling for a debate is like a blind man calling for an eye chart.”
And you talking like an adult in a political discussion is…well…impossible.
July 21, 2006 - 03:37 PM on July 21st, 2006
#29. thank you for confirming your reading comprehension skill level for me.
July 21, 2006 - 03:41 PM on July 21st, 2006
You’re firing blanks, SFL! Bwaaa ha ha ha ha ha!!!
July 21, 2006 - 03:45 PM on July 21st, 2006
Thanks again for confirming that you are “special”.
Was it the paint chips?
Why else do you refuse to talk like an adult?
July 21, 2006 - 03:46 PM on July 21st, 2006
ONE DOLLAR says the next post from Robert contains the same old lame ad hom invective.
July 21, 2006 - 03:52 PM on July 21st, 2006
Hey Sasha- I got what you were saying: Democrats will court the Hispanics and dump the black vote like yesterdays news! All one need do is actually pay attention! I happen to agree with you.
SF- what exactly has the Democratic party done to further the rights of homosexuals?
July 21, 2006 - 03:53 PM on July 21st, 2006
Yer swimmin’ against the tide, SFL. Don’t forget where you are at: Right Vocies. As a Leftist, this isn’t your turf. This isn’t Democrap Underground, or moveon.org, or michaelmoore dot com, or the Daily Pos.
You are looking for support, agreement, and validation from posters who generally do not share your perspective.
In fact, I’d like to see RV out up a poll. Some topics:
Is Liberalism a form of mental illness?
Is SF Liberal a good debater?
Should Robert stop dogging SF Liberal, and just let SFL spew?
Do SFL postings have any real value, or are they just useful for batting practice?
July 21, 2006 - 03:58 PM on July 21st, 2006
“You are looking for support, agreement, and validation from posters who generally do not share your perspective.”
Is that what you think? That I’m looking for support???
Ummm…no.
July 21, 2006 - 04:00 PM on July 21st, 2006
And someone owes me one dollar.
July 21, 2006 - 04:07 PM on July 21st, 2006
Why don’t you take a dollar out of your pocket, then put it in the other pocket? Becaue you are probably the only one that thinks so…
Bwaaa ha ha ha ha ha!!!
Smack! And it’s bye, bye, baby!!!
July 21, 2006 - 04:53 PM on July 21st, 2006
Thanks, Peejz! That’s exactly what I was saying. And then all those “black leaders” I never voted for are going to mope and complain that we’ve been marginalized without our needs ever having been met.
July 21, 2006 - 05:26 PM on July 21st, 2006
28: SF, go back and read #15 again. I said nothing that suggested Hispanics would vote Republican because of Elian. I suggested they were angry with Bill over his adamance in sending Elian back to Cuba.
July 21, 2006 - 05:36 PM on July 21st, 2006
“Bwaaa ha ha ha ha ha!!!
Smack! And it’s bye, bye, baby!!!”
This is coming from a 40+ year old man.
Robert, I’m willing to bet you’ve been called a dork more than a few times in your life.
July 21, 2006 - 05:44 PM on July 21st, 2006
“I said nothing that suggested Hispanics would vote Republican because of Elian. I suggested they were angry with Bill over his adamance in sending Elian back to Cuba.”
So your only point was that many Cubans are angry at Clinton? …and nothing else?
A lot of people are angry at Clinton…so what?!?
It sounded to me like you were inferring that because of what Clinton did, Hispanics & Latinos would not be inclined to vote Democrat.
And that isn’t true.
July 21, 2006 - 07:18 PM on July 21st, 2006
“Robert, I’m willing to bet you’ve been called a dork more than a few times in your life.
”
Ad Hominem! Ad Hominem! Ad Hominem!
July 21, 2006 - 07:42 PM on July 21st, 2006
“So your only point was that many Cubans are angry at Clinton? :and nothing else?”
Yep. You even cut and pasted my quote stating as much. No hidden agenda, SF.
“A lot of people are angry at Clinton:so what?!?”
Merely a consideration of how “you people” treated an immigrant son.
But if they want to vote in lock step with a party that will take them for granted, as they have the black vote; make promises they have no intention of keeping, as they do with the black vote, then they deserve the same treatment as blacks who continue to fall for the same line each and every election cycle.
“It sounded to me like you were inferring that because of what Clinton did, Hispanics & Latinos would not be inclined to vote Democrat.”
And so far you seem to be to only one to whom it sounded that way. You had to infer quite a bit from my statement to make a point that had nothing to do with what I was writing about. I promise you that wasn’t the point I was making with Elian.
July 21, 2006 - 09:26 PM on July 21st, 2006
I can give a huge reason why a lot of Hispanics may be more inclined to vote Republican. I saw a bumper sticker that said , IN SPANISH, that you couldn’t be Catholic and pro abortion. My Spanish isn’t great but even I could translate that. What is the main religion of the Hispanics in this country? Catholic. What happens if the pro abortion, pro gay, anti religion voting records of the Democrats become public knowledge among the Catholics? It might have the same effect there as it has amongst the religious right. People who have voted Democratic the majority of their lives are looking at the extreme liberal agenda of the Democrats and simply can not bring themselves to vote for someone who has consistently voted opposite their personal values. Why do you think that one Democratic Strategist is telling Dems to LIE about their stance on gay marriage until after the election.
Do you know what I’d REALLY like to see? Both parties develop a platform, HONESTLY state it, allow the voters to decide, and then actually IMPLEMENT it. The problem as I see it is that the Democrats refuse to honestly state their platform because they know it’ll lose at the polls, so they have become the opposition (no real plans other than to make asses of themselves) party, and the Republicans happily state their platform because they know it’ll win at the polls but then fail to implement it because of all of the backroom earmark deals.
My ideal platform would be:
Lower tax rates to stimulate the economy (History shows that revenues go up from the increased activity so there wouldn’t be a loss in revenues.)
Cut excessive wasteful spending. Deficits aren’t caused by not having enough revenue, they’re caused by spending too much. Do you use creit cards because you don’t earn enough or because you want to buy things you don’t have the cash for?
Overhaul the education system. Most educators are so busy trying to make the kids feel good about themselves, they never bother to actually force the kids to learn. I’ve taught numerous people how to do different things. Why do you think I ask so many questions on this list. You can tell people things repeatedly, but if they find it out for themselves, they’re more likely to retain it. Ask a kid a question (an objective one, until they’re teens, subjective ones are a waste of time), offer a reward, and see how fast they can find the answer.
Fix Social Security. Privatized accounts work in every circumstance in which they’ve been tried. Members of the government who opted into the goverment’s private plan (The one all of the Democratic Congressmen don’t want you to know they’re in) when it came out in the mid 80s have about 3 times the benefits coming of those who choose to stay in the old plan. BTW dumping the additional capital into the stock market will allow companies to grow and thereby make the returns increase even more rapidly.
Seal the border, militarize it if necessary. Narcoterrorists, and for that matter real terrorists, know that our borders are nothing more than a line in the sand that they cross with impunity. It’s time to stop it. It’s time that when Narcoterrorists open fire on our border patrol and law enforcement officers like they did recently, we realize that firing back won’t cause an “international incident”, the being fired upon did. Next time we find armed Mexican soldiers on US soil, they should be treated as invaders and jailed or shot. Next time Narcoterrorists fire automatic weapons across the border at our law enforcement personnel, the phone call to Fox should be “Vinny, if you don’t crack down on the drug cartels and stop the violence, we’re going to. Next time they fire across the border at our officers, we’re going to track them down and kill them. And we may not be particularly stealthy about how we do it. Comprende? ‘click’”
As for drugs, I’d legalize marijuana, regulate it, tax it, and let the big tobacco companies add it to their product lines. Sell it like alcohol. Want to see the drug cartels go out of the cannabis business? Let them TRY and compete with Phillip Morris. The additional revenues that come in could be used to combat and treat drug addiction for the harder drugs. I’d also push for the execution of major drug dealers and anyone who commits murder while participating in a drug related crime. While it may not deter anyone else from dealing drugs, it would damn sure cut down on the recidivism rate.
On the topic of Gay marriage, the gay community needs to cool its jets. As I’ve told many people, the very acceptance of gays has been through social EVOLUTION not social revolution. Evolution always moves forward towards a goal, revolution can come back and bite you in the ass. Does anyone really believe that all of this nonsense about gay marriage would be going on right now if the gay community had tried to win their case at the ballot box instead of the judge’s bench? As I see it, they’re trying to ram something down the throat of the majority who have said they are against it, rather than trying to sway opinion in their favor. There really is a constitutional argument to allow Gay Marriage that might even sway those who oppose it. The gay movement simply isn’t trying to sway opinion, they’re trying to run roughshod over it.
As for immigration and guest workers, we do have to overhaul the system, however allowing people to break numerous laws by coming here and working illegally in the interim is simply unacceptable. BTW I feel the argument that Illegals take jobs Americans won’t do is bogus. Do you know what the difference between paying an illegal $6/hr to pick lettuce and paying a legal resident $12/hr to do the same really is? Less than ten cents a head. Do you think we might be able to find people to pick lettuce for $12/hr? How about $18? That’s less than twenty cents more per head. BTW that’s if the picker ONLY picks 1 head a minute rather than a more probable 2 -3+ heads a minute. Of course there is one additional thing to consider in the equation. The fact that many of the illegals are being paid in cash under the table with the employer violating any number of labor and tax laws.
Develop our oil resources for use while the alternative fuels are getting the bugs worked out adequately to be mass marketed. Screaming alt fuels NOW is a waste of breath. They aren’t ready for the market and the market isn’t ready for them. Personally, I want one of the new Silverado Hybrids, big truck ride and performance with little truck fuel economy. We have oil, coal and gas reserves lying untouched that will meet our needs until the alternate fuels become viable. Let’s stop complaining about gas prices and do something to fix them. Supply and demand drives prices. As supply increases, prices drop. It’s simple economics.
Revise the gun laws. The current ones make no sense. Gun laws have never proven effective at stopping crime. John Hinckley was arrested the fall before he shot President Reagan when he was planning an attempt on President Carter. Because his family had money, this arrest was downgraded to involuntary admission to a psyche ward where he was out again in less than 7 months. Because health records are confidential, even under the current background check and any waiting period scheme, he was and still would be able to illegally purchase the pistol that he used to seriously wound President Reagan and nearly kill James Baker. Switzerland has mandatory firearms ownership and qualifications for all military age males following a two year tour on active duty. They have virtually NO violent crime. They also have national target shooting competitions starting at age 5. Oh BTW they also have a non homogenous society as the country has 3 official languages.
Now of course you all know why I’ll never be elected anything. I believe most of what I say makes too much sense. See San Fran, I may be a knuckle dragger, but I’m not a Neanderthal.
July 21, 2006 - 10:41 PM on July 21st, 2006
FAO, your position makes far too much sense. Therefore it could never be accepted by the Liberals.
July 22, 2006 - 04:46 AM on July 22nd, 2006
Racism exists as long as the Democrats continue to defend racist blacks like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
July 22, 2006 - 07:27 AM on July 22nd, 2006
Thanks Robert. I do try. It’s a shame we can’t say the same about far too many of our “representatives”.
July 22, 2006 - 12:13 PM on July 22nd, 2006
“Develop our oil resources for use while the alternative fuels are getting the bugs worked out adequately to be mass marketed. Screaming alt fuels NOW is a waste of breath. They aren’t ready for the market and the market isn’t ready for them.”
This is 100% correct. And the whole subject of energy cis a perfect example of why a large portion of the ecowhacko crowd should just be flushed down the toilet becuase they are insane.
1. They don’t want “fossil fuels” consumed, but they won’t consider nuclear power generation.
2. They want to cut down on CO2 emissions, but they won’t consider nuclear.
3. They tout renewables such as solar and wind power, but then they set aside huge tracts of desert land (so solar arrays can’t be put there) and don’t want to allow large wind farms because the generator blades kill birds.
4. They want clean, green power, but want to tear out dams that are providing hydro power.
5. They champion anti-global warming causes like the Kyoto Treaty, but totally ignore the fact that Kyoto would exempt the soon-to-be-largest generators of “greenhouse gases” and consumers of “fossil fuels”.
6. They eagerly promote “An Inconveneinet Truth” while completely ignoring any facts that might contradict their preconcieved opinion.
The above is solid proof of the extreme mental illness prevalent in the Ecowhacko community.
