    When these young people realize that the Democratic Party to day is all about "from each according to his ability and to each according to his needs" then they'll realize that the Democratic Party continues to be the party of slavery.

    What is absolutely appalling is that there is nothing in this magazine or any other liberal rag about A.C.O.R.N. and its voter fraud the money they embezzled or the fact that Congress refuses to investigate.

    Cont for ToTheRight

    Why is there not one word recorded in any US Government Agency, any University, any legitimate agency that documents and records American history and/or American political history that says anything like that or implies what earthorbitsthesun says? The answer is because it is a lie. A lie fabricated by earthorbitsthesun to use as a platform to unleash his racist slanderous blanket covering all Blacks. Saying Black people do not remember who it was that lynched their loved ones. Blacks do not remember who it was that bombed their churches.

    Black people do know and that is why hardly any of them vote Republican. Because Black people know that it was Southern White Racists that now mostly vote Republican. The majority of Southern Racists that implemented Jim Crow laws in every single Southern State. His lie is they were all democrats and Black people cannot remember that. How can any God fearing American ignore and/or support such racist lies? The commentary illustrates eartorbitsthesun???s racism. I believe that only a racist could even think up such denigrating and false characterizations about Blacks.

    Of course you did not notice any of this when you ask me if I am a hater? Sheesh ToTheRight. If you insist on asking me, the Black guy if I am a hater when I respond to such racist rhetoric, you may as well stop. Nothing you nor anybody else is going to convince me that I do not recognize racism when I see it or hear it. Those of you for one reason or another define racism when a Black person opposes it are wasting your time even saying anything to me.

    I wonder if you are even capable, or anybody else for that matter to cut and paste or simply write out the words that supports earthtothesuns accusation that I threatened him. He only said that so he could tell me to kiss his ass. You see none of that do you ToTheRight. I do not have an identity problem. I know who I am. Most of my commentary is to expose the rampant racism still prevalent in the South. In that regard I thank you and other that expose their twisted views of Blacks. Racist views so powerful racists ignore the overwhelming views of a powerful majority of American Society.

    "statist", "lieberal," "extreme left," whatever you want to call it, you are getting it. It flat our does not work. Growth will be gone, debt will be unsustainable, and the defense of our country is getting weaker and weaker.
    The dollar is in a free fall, inflation will be back, so oil through the roof. I would refinance now if you have to becuase int. rates are going higher and it will be beyond anyone's control.
    Taxes for EVERYONE, (who pays taxes in the first place anway), are going to go through the roof.
    the risk that was feared about the attitude of "do what it takes" is coming true. It sounds positive and sounds like action is being taken, but what it really means is "anything can happen." Tearing up of ontracts, limits to salary and travel, bullying by envrionemtal agencies, nationalization of autos, heaclthcare, financials, etc..this is all happening. Huge goverment intrusion of freedom is happening. They are basically pushing their hidden agenda day to day without a real up-front concrete plan. If contracts can be ripped up at anytime, if Managements can be removed at anytime. It is only getting worse. How can you say this is good for growth, the economy and this country? Scary stuff.
    Oh and this comical concern over greenhouse gases is getting out of control. People like al Gore are making fortunes my pushing fear to the public that the world is going to be underwater, blah blah blah. If you actually look at the gases in the earth's atmosphere, CO2 compnent is nothing but a tiny sliver. Nitrogen obviously dominates with well over half, followed by Oxygen and Water vapor. You can't even see CO2 in the pie chart. Oxygen and Water Vapor are 562 times greater than CO2.
    Yes we need to be more responsible with earth. Yes we need alt. energy. The way we are going about it is rediculous and we are leaving out the 2 best options, nat gas and nuclear energy.
    By the way, Pelosi is screwed..hopefully and finally!!

    • Posted By: Vigilance @ 05/15/2009 9:02:33 PM

      "CO2 compnent (sic) is nothing but a tiny sliver"

      It only takes a tiny sliver of mercury in your body to poison you. It only takes a tiny amount of chlorine in your lungs to induce severe, possibly fatal coughing...and by the same token, it's not the percentage of the CO2 in the air, it's the amount of warning it causes.

      I don't think you have any scientific training at all if you think CO2 can't be a greenhouse gas because "there's way more nitrogen!" and it doesn't help that you misspelled "environmental", "component", and "ridiculous" in your analysis of the situation either.

    The picture says all. The youth of American will saves us from the hate and venom that has infected this country for far too long. Hate and venom that is purely based on the fear o another's skin color. May God bless the youth of America and give them the gift of peace they all deserve.

  • Posted By: Marlboro @ 05/14/2009 4:41:01 PM

    By the way, the stats here are bogus. No more youth voted in 2008 than any other presidential election year. The only voter turn-out difference was a 2% increase in black voters. This election was no landslide; it was a statistical dead heat. Don't be fooled by the Goebbels media. See Dick Morris's website about this. He's a conservative, and so understands truth a little better than anything you'll see in the mainstream miasma.

    ToTheRight, I admit that I chuckled a little when I read your response regarding me. Am I a hater or not. The reason I laughed is because of your obvious selective points of view. Earthorbitsthesun stated that Black people vote Democratic because they forgot that it was Democrats that exercised racist Jim Crow laws. A monumental lie. His misleading attempt to define racism by political affiliation as far as I am concerned is nothing more than a false attempt to absolve any Southern White Republican from their role in violent racism. What makes his statements racist is his framing Blacks in a stereotypical, and slanderous manner. His racist view that Blacks vote Democratic because they forgot who the actual racists are is completely false,, completely racist.

    Anytime any person of any race makes comments that blanket an entire ethnicity of forgetting (what is the implication there) such an era of inhumanity, an era of profound hate, an era that millions of Blacks alive today are suffering through, wearing the scars. An era so shameful that American Society intervened to once again put a stop to it. An era that not one member of American Society, indeed not one Industrialized nation is not aware of. The incredible horror Southern White Racists inflicted upon Blacks. Yet earthorbitsthesun says that Black people vote Democrat because they don???t remember (what is the implication there) who did these things. Tell me ToTheRight where and/or what does he use to corroborate his racist statement about Blacks other than his racist opinion?

    Now even if you choose to believe such nonsense, even if you take no offense to such a slanderous, and false racist comment about Blacks. How can you deny that is a racist statement? If you do not accept that as a racist statement, what the heck is your definition of a racist statement? Do you think racisms is a term that takes on different meanings for different people?

    Do you think there is no universal definition of racism that makes the distinction between opinions and actual racist rhetoric? If it was Democrats that exercised racism in the south and not White Racists throughout the South, no distinction by political affiliation, why is it that only earthorbitsthesun and other likeminded Southern Conservatives know this. How come those that forced and end to Jim Crow laws have never mentioned that?

    One of our bigest problems to hurt some one is to joke about another person directly and indirectly and the excuse always is sence of humor on it why because we have no respect to no body we learn at the school with our parents and we think all is ok, just a comment ......

    • Posted By: earthorbitsthesun @ 05/14/2009 1:11:46 PM

      I so agree with you but before you pass a judgment please read this board if one person decides to use false information, religion, bigotry and hate to force another person to think like them is the cause of bigots, terrorists and causes Wars.

      Humor in any of my posts is to be kept from being drawn into a battle of tout???s instead using readily available information. The internet is a battle ground of propaganda you have to be able to sort though the information with an open mind to discover the truth not one which supports an assumption.

  • Posted By: bosmith @ 05/14/2009 2:30:59 AM

    Earthorbitsthesun, It is clear to me that you are a racist. Actually that is not as noteworthy in 2009 as it was when people like you had free reign to exercise malevolent behavior because of your racist, at these point manifested by slanderous, nasty rhetoric targeted towards Blacks. It has occurred to me that if I fail to be sober minded you can actually get under my skin. Something that I cannot adequately get my mind around is a sensation that warned me that I was approaching that is when I read your comment that included ???Rangers.??? I suspect my age and maturity kicked in but you did remind me of something.

    I grew up in a small town in Western Pennsylvania. Knowing nothing other than small town young men learn. How to swim. Be respectful of others and your elders. How to hunt. How to swim and fish. Play baseball, football, etc??? By age 19, having dropped out of college and joined the Army I began to experience different things, from different people from different parts of the United States. What you reminded me of happened up in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Dahlonega, GA. It was the Mountain phase of Ranger School.

    There were about eleven of us staying in a cabin for this second phase of training. One was a hard faced White guy with a somewhat acidic sense of humor. One was a Marine. A Gunny Sgt. Tall slim, and pretty much quiet, pensive. I do not know the reason but the White guy I referred to started teasing the Marine, also a White guy. He kept calling the Marine a jaireen. Acidic, nastily. It got to the point where I noticed he was actually picking on the Marine, tormenting the Marine. Making fun of the Marine. All of a sudden the Marine leapt on the soldier, started wailing away, punching him furiously, dangerously. It took five of us to pull that Marine off of that guy. When we finally restrained the Marine, the Marine had a look in his eyes I cannot truly describe. He had tears in his eyes. He looked directly into the eyes of the man he had just been forced to stop hitting and said in a quiet, serene and serious voice,??? Don???t you ever talk down about the Marines. The Marines are like a Mother to me.???

    This happened up in the mountains with nobody present but men. I learned something at that moment that I thought I knew but obviously did not. One do not piss of a Marine. Another, given the right circumstances a man will surely take to task other silly men failing to understand what they unleash by their nasty rhetoric and attitudes. Out of all the racist slanderous rhetoric you said about Blacks. That incident never came into my mind. I strongly suggest you stop pretending you know anything about Rangers because you truly do not and I do not find your callous, inaccurate references to Rangers, how they are trained, in any way informative, funny or credible.


    • Posted By: earthorbitsthesun @ 05/14/2009 11:39:26 AM

      Once again you fuel your position from the point of hate and bigotry and toss into your position a veiled threat of violence and I think it is funny?

      What I truly do believe is you are so entrenched that is firmly entrenched and blinded by hate and supported by those willing to perpetuate the hate.

      You have a definition of racism and I strongly agree racism is very real and will be for a long time to come based on a complex web of facts. Here is just a few, first it will never change until it is not profitable and as long as people White, Black, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Korean??? have had some taken away or feel they haven???t been given something that some one else has strived, struggled and worked for it???s the easiest excuse in the book.

      My two children both work fulltime and go to school fulltime and are 3.0+ students and are taxed heavily to boot. After they graduate they then will proceed to work hard to raise their families, pay their bills and advance in life. This is the same for every race allot of men and women deal with it every day what do you think happens when someone based solely on race manages to achieve the same position? We have in this country a diverse base of multi racial talented men and women who have struggled and paid the price to achieve their position in life you pretty much know what I think of President Obama.

      You think anyone who opinion differs than yours is a racists and bigot and poking fun at your ideology you have currently also threatened me based on your misconceptions of my beliefs. Also previously cast me down by the power of your God!

      I could not care less about the color of your skin, religious beliefs or even that you need to bring violence to try and justify yourself. I will add you sat their and watched those two me go at it and defined them as White, had one been Black, dam get out your soap box. You are so close to understanding society it's not the color of your skin it's everyone???s need to succeed, prosper and struggle for identity.

      Oh back to your threat kiss my lily White &ss!

    Generation O-

    They are without jobs, in extreme debt, no savings, most likely in foreclosure, praying for free healthcare, about to be overtaxed, still in a war and wondering why they voted for a black senator - with no qualifications (2 years of campainging)

    The media is again going nuts pushing this idea of the Obama cult without reporting on the idiotic decision making, destruction of our economy, weakening of our national security and military and apoligizing to everyone for our "mistakes". Since when does our president bow to anyone?

    Obama is running lose like a teenager with his first credit card and we're supposed to be exited about what type of dog he just got or that his wife purchased $500 shoes while americans are suffering. All this while he is spending billions of our money on comoanies that should be bankrupt to beging with.

    Welcome to Generation O!

    earthorbitsthesun, "nice to be able to have a constructive conversation on economics with no biased racist interlude!." Were you refering to when you said that Black people vote Democratic because they forgot that Southern White racists were Democrats. You have shown every reader of this forum your personal illustration of racist stereotypical rhetoric. Your are proud of your racist statements aren't you. Oh, I almost forgot. You said the democrats are the racists. You are a Conservative Republican so whatever you say cannot be racists can it? Oh well, I am not proud to say this. I think it is a shame. But your comments leave not one Black American any option but to call you racist. WEith you made up false stereotypical rancor saying Blacks do this or Blacks do that....When a pro Whie Southern Repuiblican, defender of people that commited racist acts makes the inumerable comments suggesting that you, southern whites, that invented illegal racist laws to oppress Blacks, we have no choice but to call you what you are. RACIST. Not one Black person had it coming. There is no such thing as a reasonable explanation for even one Southern White to go along with, support, perpetuate or accept codifying racism into law. Other than the reality these people were racist and preferred racism as the thype of community life they wanted to live in. Your bigited attitude of acknowledging the racist in the south while still finding reasons, or making up reasons to oppose the political, social and financial goals of Blacks clearly defines the ongoing racism prevalent in the South. I will not be surprised if millions of racist Whites in the south ahve a coniption because a majority of American elected a black President and they hate that Black President and do not care too much for the Americans that voted for that Black President. But when it comes to taking a chance on really anfering those millions of Whites that voted for and elected President Obama racist Whites remember. They remember when Southern Blacks peacefully marched in protest of their racist oppression and ended up being mass arrested. Churches bombed, etc... As soon as those two White college students were murdered and the response from non-racist Whiets was to travel and walk arm in arm with the oppressed Blacks. Southern Racist Whites learned the danger of attempting to defy those non-racist Whites. Shortly after that Jim Crow, the notion of codifyong racism into law evaporated like a drop of water on a sidewalk on a hot afternoon in Alabama. Most people, as much as we have seen done to this nation and its people by racists still have no idea who they are dealing with when it comes to racists.

    We cannot borrow our way out of debt. We cannot spend our way to prosperity. We are more likely to advance the cause of our people by looking forward than by concentrating efforts on a rear-view-mirror blamestorm directed at the last set of inepts. Let's focus on a rational plan to reinvigorate American industry and agriculture. That would provide productive jobs generating new wealth to fund a prosperous life and a stream of new tax revenues to pay for a sustainable government.
    Or we could continue borrowing money from Asia to spend on Asian goods, buying jet fuel by the boatload from our friends in the Middle East to fly the speaker of the house in her military jet, and ignore the lessons of nations that have neglected to build stable economies. Welcome to Zimbabwe.

      Super refreshing thank you it would be nice to be able to have a constructive conversation on economics with no biased racist interlude!

      This country just elected a President that has no qualifications for his position other then his Harvard education (geez I want one), a Royal Flush of Race cards, the color of his skin and backed by 70% of our media using half truths and omission.

      Using this approach he created a rift or chasm in the core of our Nation; Minority against White, racism, deep set bigotries a turmoil which could easily tear this county apart and set Party against Party.

      Unless he can fix what he has done failure is his only potential outcome I for one hope he doesn't drag the country down with him.

      Oh and before anyone can call me a cry baby (HaHa I like that) John McCain had to lose the Presidential race for if he hadn???t, refer to the disruption caused by our Gay populations disillusion of Marriage add some steroids and picture the outcome!

    I voted Democrat because
    I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want.
    I've decided to marry my horse.
    I voted Democrat because
    I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are
    obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas
    at 15% isn't.
    I voted Democrat because
    I believe the government will do a better job of
    spending the money I earn than I would.
    I voted Democrat because
    Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
    I voted Democrat because
    When we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what
    they are doing because they now think we are good people.
    I voted Democrat because
    I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local
    police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
    I voted Democrat because
    I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can
    tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if
    I don't start driving a Prius.
    I voted Democrat because
    I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long
    as we keep all death row inmates alive.
    I voted Democrat because
    I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care,
    education, and Social Security benefits.
    I voted Democrat because
    I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for
    themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to
    the government for redistribution as the democrats see fit.
    I voted Democrat because
    I believe liberal judges need to rewrite The Constitution every few
    days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas
    past the voters.
    I voted Democrat because
    My head is so firmly planted up my butt that it is unlikely that I'll
    ever have another point of view.

    Eartorbitsthesun. I am a Black man. A black voter. I just said you stated a racist lie about Black voters as to them forgetting who exercised racism on them and why they vote Democratic, and an extra; why they do not vote Republican. Any stupid people out there dumb enough to dare say they believe what earttothesun said? Or are you going to allow him to wear this particular stupid racist comment all by himself? I cannot believe a racist White can easily accept a Black voter contradicting his proclamations about Blacks.

    I expect some sort of nonsense heartache sun believes will somehow justify not only his accuracy of knowing why Blacks vote democratic, but also the reason Blacks vote democratic. Oh yeah, according to earttothesun we all forgot that he said it was Democrats that were the racists, which lead us to vote Democratic. Sheesh. I know that racism cannot me measure, has no end. That is why I am certain the one making those comments has more proclamations about Blacks. But even I must admit my surprise at the magnitude of these racist statements coming out of the mouth of earthorbitsthesun. Can anyone imagine the infinite amount of racist, stereotypical, slanderous, made up rhetoric earthtothesun is capable of?!?!?!!

  • Posted By: bosmith @ 05/13/2009 11:14:58 PM

    Last part of a Black mans response to eartorbitsthesun extravagant BS

    Somehow the statement from eartorbitsthe sun is to translate that Blacks don???t vote Republican because they forgot it was Democrats that were the racists. He has been arguing this same basic theme. Saying it could not be the majority Democratic White racists are now members of the Republican Party; Blacks no it and will not vote Republican because they know that is one the party White Southern Racist belong to. Naw, it must be that Blacks forgot that it was Democrats that were the racists, not Republicans.

    Notwithstanding every single state exercised racist Jim Crow Laws. Does the reality of earthorbitsthesun persistent lies about racism, about Black people indicate the continuous attitude of slander and lies indicate the same racist attitudes are still prevalent in the south now coming from Republicans? Every single Black person I know thinks so. But of course earthorbitthesun knows different? Yeah right.

  • Posted By: bosmith @ 05/13/2009 11:12:41 PM

    This is a continuation of my response to earth orbitsthesun statement that Blacks vote Democratic because they forgot it was Democrats that inflicted horrible racist acts upon them. I wonder if all racists have their own set of stereotypical racist lies, or is their a racist hand book they work out of?

    As a Black American with more close family members that survived, overcame, were directly damaged by Jim Crow racism practiced all across the south. Not one of my family members, nor any other Southern Blacks I have ever talked to in my life has ever made a distinction of political affiliation in regards to racism, KKK, or anything else having to do with the inhumanity of racism. It appears earthorbitsthesun wants to define, frame racism and the horrible actions racism fomented by political affiliation. He wants to define racism as actions by Democrats, not by Republicans. Ergo, any White Southerner belonging to the Republican Party had absolutely nothing to do with the racist Jim Crow actions.

    This is a continuation of my response to earth orbitsthesun statement that Blacks vote Democratic because they forgot it was Democrats that inflicted horrible racist acts upon them. I wonder if all racists have their own set of stereotypical racist lies, or is their a racist hand book they work out of?

    Now you can buy into his lies if you want to. You can ignore the truth that a majority of racist Whites in the south were Democrats, now a majority of racist Whites are Republicans are now Republicans. If you are gullible enough to believe his twisted logic majority White racist Democrats. White Southerners now a majority Republican. If they cancel out, that probably means there were no racist whites and if there ever were they are Democrats. The Blacks that experienced first hand the racism forgot who it was that exercised violent racism, that is why they vote Democratic. I suppose he imagines Southern Blacks sitting around drinking beers with their former tormentors because the Blacks forgot who tormented them. Can you believe the amount of stupidity and willingness to lie on and slander Black people to even think such nonsense, let alone say it in public.

  • Posted By: bosmith @ 05/13/2009 11:09:32 PM

    Another great opportunity to oppose earthorbitsthesun arrogant attitude that he is absolutely correct to offer a commentary that suggests he knows more about Black people than Black people. He just said that Black people vote Democratic because they forget. How arrogant. How absolutely supremacist. Of course he would not notice that because he actually believes that his statement that Black people vote Democratic because Black people have forgotten it were racist Democrats that oppressed them.

    First of all the way Southern Conservatives choose to frame racism and the application of Jim Crow racist laws as connected with political affiliation is false. Of course if you so choose you can buy into this superior beings partisan rancor. Or you can use the common sense test to discern if earth orbits the sun statement thwarts common sense. I am a Black man, raised in a Black family with Black Uncles, Aunts, Grandparents, Great Aunts, Great Uncles, etc??? My Father was born in Georgia during an era of unspeakable violence specifically targeted towards Blacks. So you have a choice.

    A choice that is difficult to make in regards to who knows more about Blacks, their thoughts on the racist Jim Crow Laws, and their thoughts towards the people who zealously exercised Jim Crow racist law on all Southern Blacks. Me or earthorbitsthe sun. The only people I have ever heard say it was racist Democrats responsible for Southern racist Jim Crow laws are Southern Conservative Republicans. As a Black man that like most Black people that will not vote Republican because we know exactly who exercised racism in the south.

    It was not Democrats or Republicans. It was racist White Southerners. Most of them used to vote Democratic. Now most of them vote Republican. The lying and misleading statement that wants to frame racism along political lines is no more that a rhetorical hope that Racist Southern Whites can escape their racist attitudes by attempting to blame them on Democrats. Even if eartorbitsthesun believes that lie. What different does it make if Blacks do not believe that lie and still refuse to vote republican because they are absolutely certain of his lie?

    President Obama's Poll average is 65%---- Repiglican Party 20%. Shows that the people have finally caught on to the Party of Hate and their Smear tactics. Thank God a prayer has been answered. Only 20% will admit they are a republican, can't blame them.!!
