The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart:
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
–From William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice

Carry Me Home by Dianne McWhorter – It’s easily one of the best books I have read about the Civil Rights struggle. She was a 5th grader in Birmingham, AL the year Birmingham was the focus of the struggle – in one of the leading families there (in a middle class branch). That impacts her writing, not that she heard any of it at the time, but that she knows the culture of the rich who controlled the town. And that drives her in to detail that I think an outside historian would never get.
I read in numerous books how Birmingham was the city of hate. And how the children marching was key to the shift in people’s views that led to civil rights. But this explained why. And did it so well I was reading until I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer at night. Incredibly well written.
Read more about Rice and her 1st hand tale Birmingham to Secy of State.

Her dad may well be a wonderful warrior of civil rights. But Condi, to my knowledge, hasn’t done zip for civil rights. She’s not obliged to do so, of course; the goal of the civil rights movement isn’t to make every black person a civil rights activist, it’s to let black folks hold all kinds of jobs and roles in society.
Yes, Condi befitted from the civil rights work of those in the opposite party who paved the way for her to rise to a position that helped her start a dishonest war for an anti-civil rights President — what a heartwarming tale.
Here’s a taste for you via Wikipedia…
Now someone might call you an ignorant fuck or question your principles and intelligence. I won’t though, your words speak for themselves.
Like most Dems, I agree blacks in the south faced terrible discrimination; I never said otherwise.
What I said is, “Condi, to my knowledge, hasn’t done zip for civil rights.” She faced discrimination and has benefitted from civil rights work done by others — civil rights work your party has fought tooth and nail for fifty years.
By the way, a lecture on civil rights from the dude (Libertad) who drew a suspension for using a racial slur to describe the president – awesome.
well, except Richard Clarke’s briefing titled ” Al Quaeda determined to strike in US “. You mean the Condoleeza Rice who was asleep at the wheel before and during 9/11 ? Not exactly a honorable distinction.
Please give our regards to Condi and let her know that Obama found that actionable intelligence.

Hint reporters are trying to help you Democrats overcome 8+% unemployment and the host of failed big government solutions that have brought summer bummer year after year.
Sure there’s a risk with coming clean. Other reporters might call you out on numbers such as the effective unemployment rate or the unemployment rates for women or recent college graduates.
Don’t worry about the real details though, this reporter reminds you that its ok to still blame Bush…this CNN (wink all of’em) have your backside. Just give them some tidbits of reality from which to weave their cover of your failures.
Next up….the billion dollar new Obamacare tax, gun walking, and a bevy of other corruptions. Meanwhile CNN reporters want you to acknowledge 5,000,000 missing jobs.
Romneycare.
….why didn’t Obamacare fix it?
….why won’t Devil Patrick fix this?
Why did he suck as a job creator in Massachusetts?
Libertad vs. Libertad 2.0 – your guy sucks at job creation vs. your guy sucks at job creation.
Almost identical handles with identical arguments about both candidates.
Mine is newer.
Obama won’t come clean, sends message to union bosses, invested political-corporate class and Obama Super PACs
CNN and other reporters pipe back with demands for accountability. They know what their customers want….and their suggesting Obama needs to atone for he, Pelosi and Reid’s sins.
” . . . _ _ _ . . . ” means using forced union dues as a life raft. Can Obama’s corporate pimps and Super PACs match that or will they demand changes too?
Or, as the gathered bigots called it, the “Western Conservative Summit”. Anyone who attended willingly, it’s fair to ask, “do you agree with this? do you plan to associate with these folks on an ongoing basis?”

If 7,000,000 Americans hadn’t left the workforce there’d be 10.9% official unemployment, it could be worse.
fire fighters, teachers, and government employees hadn’t lost their jobs because of the Republican’s refusal to keep essential services going, right?
Say, where ARE all those firefighters right now? Howz that free market religion bullshit working for you, huh?
My county clerk just announced very reduced hours, like the library did three years ago. Boy, I can see the economy rebounding as I type without all that government waste.
Keep yanking your little pub pee pee.

Money quote:
“We’re inundated with conservative talk in Georgia…. The speech was something that a 13-year-old does. You haven’t formed all your opinions. You’re really defeating yourself if you think you have all of your ideas in your head when you were 12 or 13. It’s impossible. You haven’t done enough.”
So basically all Conservatives have the critical thinking skills of a 13-year old? It sounds about right….
That’s scary.
to disenfranchise D voters.
What location in Colorado is referenced as a hideout in Atlas Shrugged ?
And again, NO CHEATING !
Yes, Galts Gulch in Ouray. Well done.
It’s something awesome, am I right? Am I right?
than the recognition of the rather astute readership here at Pols.
Priceless. Priceless as in having no value whatsoever, but still priceless.
I didn’t suffer through the crib notes for nothing. Send me a gift certificate, you cheap bastard.
in the form of my officially embossed AMPAD stock certificates.
preferably from your off shore account in the Cayman Islands?
