For the first time in a while I was able to listen to Rush far a bit today. He made some interesting comments that I will paraphrase. Several other countries and many different races of humans have fought TO KEEP slaves (of all colors) for thousands of years. Even Indian tribes slayed each other to keep their slaves.

The Untied States of America lost thousands upon thousands of (white) citizens in a war that ended up freeing slaves. White Americans have probably sacrificed more than any other group on earth to end slavery and though it's taken some time, as a country we have come a million miles. Yet we are the ones always taking the hits.

How soon Sharpton, Jackson and their ilk forget.

So true. And here's the short of it. I find myself feeling genuine respect and even affection for people of color that believe in American core values and delight in the pursuit of happiness. It's out there and it is achievable but, it is not to be found at the welfare office. Truly, all men are created equal. It's the system does all the sorting and stacking, not the biases of white men. That is the message of former Florida Republican Congressman and Col Alan West, Dr Ben Carson, Star Parker, Michael Meyers and many others would deliver.

Those of any race who play the victim will never be happy, and they'll never know the satisfaction of going out there and earning success. Man wasn't meant to be herded by kindly liberal husbandmen, who just happen to desperately need their votes. He is meant to go conquer his world to the extent his talents and abilities would allow. The liberal media continue to mislead them, providing a forum and a platform (and backup) for the Al Sharptons of the world, from which to poison the attitudes and souls of the very people they claim to care so much about. IMO, there would be much profit to be had, if one could buy Sharpton for what he's really worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth.

The poison men like him spew will very likely cause society to boil over one day, in a manner that will bring much shame and pain to this land, thanks to little men with huge egos in positions of power. Who somehow, manage to publically and continually stir up national insurrection with impunity. How is it that Al Sharpton and others who fan the flames of bigotry even to the point of turning it into a profession, for which they are paid handsomely BTW, get away with blaming other people for their own misdeeds? I don't get it. Can folks actually not understand it is people like him that are the hate mongers?

No, my contempt is not for my fellow man, even though I think all men owe society, themselves and their families, a reasonable effort on their own part to earn a living. My contempt is for a system of government that extorts money from the people who do work, in an elaborate scheme to just give it to those who won't work. That system for the most part is color blind by the way. Many millions of folks of all racial backgrounds are cared for in this land, including terrorists such as the Tsarnaev brothers.

According to the US Constitution, nobody is special in this country. And yet, when one stops to consider for one moment, we have a political party that governs exclusively from that very perspective. Democrats are in fact the party of special interests. They have done more to divide this country than any enemy from without has ever managed to accomplish in time of war, or cold war. They will never get another vote from my household unless they abandon the dark side again. The democratic propaganda machine works so efficiently, I actually hear working folks complaining about republican presidents that want to lower their taxes. Bizarro World is here.
