Inane Race Baiting while they destroy our economy

It's somewhat gratifying to see the Democratic party's hypocrisy on race relations so blatantly displayed in the Harry Reid matter. The unique dance stylings of Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, and their ilk have given some comic relief as the party in power is momentarily diverted from their quest to destroy our nation's economy.





Every political or religious group has its double standards; but nobody models hypocrisy with as much elan as modern Progressives.





Let's make one thing perfectly clear: Harry Reid's comments about candidate Obama's "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one" were simply Senator Reid's unvarnished appraisel of current Realpolitik; they weren't racist by any reasonable standard.



They were only racist according to criteria advanced by Progressive race hucksters to slander Conservatives.


Trent Lott made a comment on Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday to the effect that Thurmond should have been elected president when he ran as the "States' Rights" candidate back in 1948. Because Southern states rights' advocates supported racial segregation, Lott's remarks were taken out of context, and he was forced to resign his post as Senate majority leader.


Common sense would tell you that Lott was just trying to say something complimentary on a momentous occasion - the Senate was not on the verge of reinstituting segregation. Furthermore, Thurmond had long since renounced segregation, and would certainly not have won reelection so many times had he not done so.


Moreover, States' Rights, sans segregationism, was and is a valid political position, according to our national Constitution.



Harry Reid ought to resign his leadership position, just to maintain the delusion that his party's posturing on race relations has merit.



Then, hopefully, the good folks of Nevada can throw his sorry butt out of our government - not for these bogus charges of racism, but for his efforts to destroy our nation's economy, by creating record amounts of fiat money.



Said fiat money will result in inflation of our currency, which will lead to higher prices for neccessary items, including food and energy. This will hurt low and middle income people the most, and will belie the idea president's promise not to impose further taxes on them.



Let's not forget bipartisanship.



Throw out the Republicans, too!
