Yea! THE INTERNET STAYS ON! And I've finally got company in the G.O.P.:
“I’m sorry to be the skunk at the garden party, but I think if Dr. King were alive today, he would step on some of these sacred issues.”
Republicans love to scream MLK was one of ours. Not cool to think like him nowadays - TMR is definitely "the skunk at the garden party" - but still the appropriate place to be. So what's the beef? Try this one on for size - a point I've made many times, before, to crickets:
“Everybody has come in front of [blacks] on the bus — gays, immigrants, women, environmentalists. You never hear any talk about the conditions confronting poor blacks and poor people in general.”
He got a standing O for show. I get push-back.
Let's see - he said gays. More important than poor blacks. That's been made clear. The coverage is overwhelming. Blacks have been struggling to keep food on the table for as long as I've been alive, but that obviously doesn't compare to gay marriage. Nobody's ever called anybody a loser for not resolving conditions in the ghettos. We should've thrown glitter in church for attention.
Immigrants. Hear about them all-the-time now. Will they be able to stay? Won't they? Not as important as how Americans can keep a roof over our heads. That's not very important at all. Never has been. Never hear about it. It's not a priority. Weird.
Women? Women. Ann Althouse makes $177,000 a year, for God knows what, and still bitches like she's raped daily. The average black household makes around $20,000. You do the math on "oppression".
And environmentalists? Why bother with blacks when they're determined to "save the planet" - which has only been around for, oh, what? 4 and a half billion years without their assistance? I can feel the love. But it makes total sense.
I've got two things that don't make sense, though:
A) Why it takes an idiot conservative like me to notice this is how it's been working, and B) why it took another one to mention it,...
