“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping
the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before
the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his
grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a
certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to
get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only
an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through
which to make themselves prominent before the public..”
Quote by: Booker T. Washington
(1856-1915) African American political leader, educator and author
Date: 1911
Seer, Soothsayer?
A man with an all too uncommon sense of common sense?
Booker T. Washington was not only right, he was foretelling the future.
In the wake of the Trayvon Martin “event” in Florida, we now have a plethora of fools trying to cash in on the tragedy.
Booker T. may as well have been talking directly about Jesse Jackson and/or Al Sharpton. These guys, and others like them, are tragedy chasers. They run hither and yon, hop scotching about the country, and occasionally overseas, attaching themselves to one tragic event after another but…only where the victims look like them, from a distance.
Obamacare, the signature legislation of Obama and that which liberal/socialists hold as a triumph, is on the ropes. With 2 days of Supreme Court arguments complete and but 1 day to go, even liberal pundits are scared Obamaless.
My, oh my, but aren’t liberals enlightened? Aren’t they intellectual?
“What our founders put forth in our founding documents, which is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And that is exactly what the Affordable Care Act helps to guarantee.”
The same guy who handed out well more than a thousand waivers from Obamacare has now handed out 11 waivers from Iran sanctions and the Obama Doctrine continues.
In the late spring of 1972, two break-ins at the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C. led to one of the most significant events in American history…The resignation of the President. To be clear, it was not the break-ins that brought down Nixon. It was the cover-up OF the break-ins which damaged his presidency well beyond repair.
It’s amazing really, how, day in and day out, liberals just seem to ignore common sense.
Tom Perez, the head of the Texas Civil Rights Division, sent a whopping 6-page letter to the Texas Director of Elections stating, “Texas has not ‘sustained its burden’ under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act to show that the new law will not have a discriminatory effect on minority voters.”
So…Obama now thinks algae is the answer to high gas prices. Algae. Is that going to be sold by the gallon or the pound? It’s important to know because I want to know if I calculate miles per gallon or miles per pound.
