The True Bigots… Democrat Editorialists
So it has come to this. It is now perfectly fine to consider a person’s race and gender when voting for President of the United States. Starting in pre school we are taught that these things are expressly NOT a valid reason with which to make decisions and judgments about each other, but now I have to explain Mr. Ensley’s article to my little girl after she see’s the “Madame President” photo. (This after explaining the NYT “Betray-Us ad). Did I miss something in Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech?
Apparently so. Forty years and hundreds of billions of dollars in the “War on Poverty” have basically created a permanent second class of American citizen, dependant on and beholden to the mighty Federal Government - stripped of their dignity, sense of individual pride and will to succeed.
Maybe I missed it but some of the most powerful, successful and brilliant people in this country lately are Black Americans like Colin Powell, Condi Rice and Justice Clarence Thomas. (None of which incidentally have EVER been on the covers of JET or EBONY magazines… not once). Naturally any intelligent reader would imagine the question “would Gerald Ensley consider voting for any of the persons mentioned above?” They fit the race/gender bill nicely after all.
Attention Big Lib editorial writers… the Democrat Party in general and Hillary Clinton (and Barrack Obama) in particular represent everything that we fought against during the American Revolution. Think about it: High Taxation, unlimited Government power, collectivism, group rights, to name a few. Now, rather than considering this and other genuine principles of American governance, we set out to nominate and then elect a President based on their RACE, and/or GENDER.
It is truly sad how Black Americans are pandered to and taken for granted by the Democrats. I guess it is okay to consider RACE if the candidate is on the left side of the aisle (and Obama is consistently rated as the most liberal Senator). I would be surprised by the stories of Blacks walking into the election room and being annoyed when handed a DEM ballot when they are a registered REP. While American Blacks should so clearly be voting Republican, they overwhelmingly (92% on average) do not.
Have you seen those little online “Electoral Compasses” where you answer a number of policy based and issue oriented questions, then it matches you with your Presidential Candidate. As simple as this is it absolutely does a better job in matching our vote with our candidate who best represents our views than does RACE and GENDER.
If the object of these “it’s okay to discuss race and gender” columns is to evoke a reaction out of the reader then mission accomplished! I just hope the writers of such columns awaken each morning thanking their lucky stars to have a writing career as it was based (at least on the body of evidence) on something such as RACE or GENDER and certainly not on intelligence, writing skill or insight.
Yours truly,

Great great rant. Well done conservOpunk, you listen to punk and conservative? Hey we have something in common, there’s not many of us.

Well done, ConservOpunk, good rant. You listen to punk and are conservative. Looks like there aren’t may of us.

this article is a joke. it sounds more “bitter” than anything. say what you want about why the two leading democratic candidates are the most diverse ever, but don’t trivialize this momentous election. the democratic voters aren’t basing their decision on race or gender. both candidates are strong and represent liberal ideas. they’re not going to wither under the right-wing spin machine like john kerry did in 2004. an opposing candidate like john mccain only makes this next election even easier.

The “Republican Talking Points” (or Facts) and the “right wing spin machine” (or talk radio discussing facts) is constantly brought up by Liberals who cannot now and could not ever in the past win an argument of ideas. They are left to denigrate the opponent in such a case as the comment here.
I am flattered that you refer to my essay off the top of my head as an “article.” Thank you sir. - ConservOpunk

while i may not agree with the substance or tone of the points presented above, there needs to be some level of civility in this debate which is why i called it an article.
both sides lie. both sides have valid and invalid points. the differences lie in the way each side thinks. there was a recent study that showed conservatives are happier than liberals because they can rationalize inequality. while i may see people need help because they are in a precarious position due to their circumstances, conservatives may see a person that needs to work themselves out of trouble. not seeing the other side for why they think the way they do leads to this article.
talk radio and the mainstream media are both flawed in their ways. however, the liberal media is an oxymoron because of the obvious love of john mccain and the harsh treatment of obama and clinton.
