Take Republican voter suppression efforts as just one example, and for another, their segregationist views toward inner-city education efforts. Republican favor school choice, instead of focusing efforts on improving inner-city schools. In fact, they favor cutting federal education assistance to inner city schools, where it is so badly needed.

That’s actually kind of funny. School choice allows the students in the inner-city schools an option to escape those disasters; in many cases, that means black students have a chance to attend private schools with white students.

And your “solution,” spending more money on inner city schools, promotes segregation, because so many of the inner city schools are now very heavily black. Unless your “solution” also includes forced busing of white students from the suburbs into inner city, primarily black schools, your solution does nothing to promote integration.

You live in Delaware now, so perhaps you’ve heard of what the forced busing order did to the New Castle County public schools. At least when I lived there, there wasn’t a single public high school in the city of Wilmington, and the black students were bused out to suburban high schools. On the other hand, suburban white students were bused into the city for elementary and middle schools.

I remember one article, from 2001 or 2002, that I can’t cite now, from the News-Journal. It said that, if the city were it’s own school district, it would be 78% black, 13% Hispanic, and 9% white and Asian. (Those numbers aren’t guesses; I remember them, exactly.) That’s because people chose to live elsewhere, and if you ever had to drive up West Second Street (Route 48) on your way home, you’d lock your windows and doors and send your kids someplace other than the public schools, too. (As I was moving away from New Castle County, there was some “gentrification” of some neighborhoods starting, just west of the downtown courthouse and business district.)

The result? Delaware had the highest rate of private school attendance in the nation, with private and parochial schools all over the place. Corpus Christi School in Elsmere had 32 and 33 and 34 students per class, and they had waiting lists to get in. The diocesan parochial high schools, in 2002, had tuition rates of about $7,000 a year, and waiting lists because they couldn’t take everybody. (St Mark’s might not have had a waiting list.) Had we not moved here, my older daughter would have gone to Padua Academy; both of my daughters went to Corpus Christi. There were also non-diocesan parochial high schools, like Ursaline and Archmere (I think that there were four of them), and the tuition at those schools was over $12,000 a year . . . and they were full! There were plenty of non-Catholic private schools as well, some of which cost more than Penn State does!

It’s pretty simple: parents don’t like seeing their own children used as guinea pigs in some bovine feces social engineering experiment. Well, virtually everybody in New Castle County who could in any way afford to send their kids to private school did. Then, when the public schools need more money, and have to pass a bond measure to get a tax increase, it gets voted down, because so many people are paying property taxes for the public schools which have been so badly destroyed that they can’t use them, and are paying private school tuition as well.

“Since a major part of the Democratic coalition consists of the least intelligent and least educated among the population, maybe he figures that can actually work.”

“Least intelligent” did you say. What evidence do you have for that statement, other than your latent racism, Mr Editor. You see, racism peeks out no matter how much you try to shield it from view!

The Democrats traditionally carry those who failed to complete high school. While there are some exceptions, those people are, for the most part, less intelligent than average. If they were smart, they’d have stayed in school!

I’ll say it very plainly: absent some relatively rare circumstances, if you drop out of school these days, you are just plain stupid.

Take Republican voter suppression efforts as just one example, and for another, their segregationist views toward inner-city education efforts.

This is a laugh coming from one who’s parents fled the inner city and whose son has never moved back.

Republicans favor school choice, instead of focusing efforts on improving inner-city schools.

And you want to keep blacks in the same crappy public schools rather than give them a choice. And all this just to appease the teacher unions.

But today’s Democrat practitioners absolve themselves of their crimes against humanity, they deny their own history, and now define racism as disagreeing with collectivist public policy preferences even as they project their own guilt onto the GOP which was born in opposition to Democrat slaveholders.

Exactly, zero percent support for Romney and his Republican extremist racist compatriots. With all that African-Americans have suffered in this Bush/Republican induced Great Recession, and the racist heritage especially obvious in todays’ Republican Party, one would normally expect this reaction, so yes, these folks know which party attempts to understand their suffering and to respond by extending to them a helping hand.

They also understand quite well that todays’ Republicans have a long heritage of hostile and racial antagonisms against them, a history which Republicans have yet to step up to and away from.

Republican favor school choice, instead of focusing efforts on improving inner-city schools.

Republicans, especially, wear their racism on their sleeves, in full view of African-Americans. Moreover, Republican actions do not flow from their rhetoric, which, and all of the above, is why the polls indicate zero support for Republicans by African-Americans. That polling statistic is rather extraordinary, yet what is the response of Republicans? More of the same!

It’s official: The term “racism” no longer has any meaning. Because it is everywhere and means everything. Therefore, all meaning is gone. And you can thank racial hucksters like Perry and his compatriots in the mainstream media like Chris Matthews, Lawrence O’Donnell, and Ed Schultz.

“Least intelligent” did you say. What evidence do you have for that statement, other than your latent racism, Mr Editor. You see, racism peeks out no matter how much you try to shield it from view!

Says the “man” who says people who believe in voter ID “don’t understand the issue,” not to mention that those supposedly “adversely” affected by the laws are just too plain dumb to go out and get the needed ID.

Good luck in the SCOTUS w/that argument.

No, Mr Editor, Hube is wrong. The Obama campaign is attempting to get early voting privileges for ALL voters, which the Ohio legislature attempted to eliminate early voting, except for the military.

No, Hube is 100% correct — the Dictator Obama administration wanted to nix early voting for military personnel. What, precisely, is wrong with allowing extra time only for them, considering the nature of their job? Why should civilians who live and work near the polling places have the same status, pray tell?

Hube is right — this is just like Al Gore trying to get the military ballots disqualified in Florida 2000 due to improper postage. That’s anti-American.

The piece on the size of the crowd to hear our President speak is just one example, by The Lonely Conservative in this case, to try to undermine the DNC before it even starts. Interestingly, no one undermined the RNC convention last week, they did a fine job of undermining their own convention on their own. From the lopsided attendee demographics being over 90% white in a country which contains just over 50% white citizens, to a disrespectful improv rendition by Cling Eastwood, to the pathological liar we saw in Paul Ryan, to a mundane and boring speech by Romney, the convention was an utter failure. Thus, Republicans are intent on undermining the DNC Convention even before it starts. That is really weak.

“More realistically, it’s because the Democrats don’t want to remind Americans that under President Obama’s fine leadership and economic stewardship, the United States is marching steadily down the road the Greeks took in their brave march toward bankruptcy and (multiple) bailouts. Mr Fitzgerald continued that the President has to try to “make the case that the economy would have been worse without his policies, and to ask for more time.” In other words, he is going to try to redefine failure as success, and hope that actually works.”

Just go back to President Bush’s words in September 2008 when he addressed the nation about this pending huge financial collapse, which required an unprecedented Bank bailout known as TARP. By January of 2009, although a massive bank collapse was avoided, we were losing 800,000 jobs per month and GDP was digging deep into negative territory. It was President Obama who led this nation out of this abyss, creating 4.3 million new jobs, doubling the Dow-Jones index of stocks, and producing the strongest economy on the globe. Sure, this is not total success, but if you ask yourself the question whether you are better off now than 4 years ago, the answer is ‘yes’, although we still have a long way to go.

“For whatever reasons the troops have, it seems as though the troops have a bit less respect for their Commander-in-Chief than he might have hoped.”

This lack of respect, assuming that it actually exists, comes from Republican right-wing partisans, who have exhibited a lack of respect for a President who happens to be blackm for almost four years already. This has been your meme, Mr Editor; therefore, is it any wonder that you and yours would not continue said meme in a continuing attempt to tear this good man down? Of course, you are all alike in your disrespect, so that citing a fellow wingnut is to be expected. It has to do with lingering robust racism, in my view. See Clint Eastwood.

“US President Barack Obama cancelled three operations to kill Osama bin Laden before finally going ahead with the mission at the insistence of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a new book has claimed.”

You folks are even intent in taking away a success story about finally getting ObL after GW Bush literally gave up, in spite of his promises. Perhaps the three attempts turned down were with good reason. This was neocon Condie Rice’s contention, that President Obama leads from behind. The foreign policy successes of our President put disgraced Condie Rice’s hogwash to the lie one more time. It’s no wonder, with all her baggage, that she was not chosen to be the VP Candidate. The fact is that President Obama gave the orders which the Navy Seals carried out superbly. End of story!!!

Hube claims: … the Boss Obama campaign in 2012 has won the first round in nixing early voting for military personnel in Ohio.

No, Mr Editor, Hube is wrong. The Obama campaign is attempting to get early voting privileges for ALL voters, which the Ohio legislature attempted to eliminate early voting, except for the military. You ought to check the cites before going off half cocked, like Hube does all the time!

The Williams sexual abuse case has nothing to do with Dems, but everything to do with an errant individual, so your insertion of this into your anti-Dem screed is politically a non-starter. However, shall I go ahead and dredge up all the Republican sexual deviants as a counter?

Finally, are we to assume that Sister Toldjah will give us some unbiased reporting. I say “no way”!

In conclusion, Mr Editor, your attempts to gin up ugliness from the DNC Convention before it even starts is mighty feeble, especially considering the failed practically all-white convention you folks just concluded. Contrary to tradition, your RNC Convention gave you no statistically significant bump, meaning that at best you’ve held your base, which is probably not enough for a win, in my view.
