Former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, 86, dies | Main | A slow, nasty day in the presidential race »

MLK was a Republican?

100_0480
Frances Rice of the NBRA tells us they've put up seven of these babies locally: two in Manatee, one in Sarasota, Charlotte, Highlands, Hillsborough (Busch Blvd, east of I-275), and this one in Pinellas off US 19 south of Ulmerton.

The billboards are part of a campaign by the National Black Republican Association in Florida and South Carolina, and has provoked fierce debate across the South. Click here to read today's Associated Press story.

I hope they're satisfied. That sign killed Jesse Helms.


9:50 No Doubt!

9:49 What do you suppose Farrakhans party is? Rev. Wright?

Both parties have their extremeist, racists nuts.

Obama is hunkering down for 100 years of troops in Iraq:

He said that when he (Obama) talked earlier about refining his policy after talking with commanders in Iraq, he was referring not to his 16-month timeline, but to how many troops may need to remain in Iraq to train the local army and police and what troop presence might be needed "`to be sure al-Qaida doesn't re-establish a foothold there."

He's getting troops out but REPLACING them with more troops and maintaining a presence indefinitely!

Obama is CHANGING his core plans each day moving closer to November.

Bleat Bleat Bleat = Skip Skip Skip

You're not relevant.

11:09 How intelligent of you. Wow!

This sign will be very effective in showing how far the Republican party has moved away from any sense of being decent human beings that care about their fellow man. The R leadership and party base is now worried about nothing except making themselves richer while stepping on the backs of any poor or minority folks who may be in their way and creating constant civil tension through the use of fear and so-called moral issues to hold onto their power. This party lost it's way long ago and shows no signs of getting it right again anytime soon.

I bet you would find out that Jesus would not be a Republican if he were around now.

"Then the king will say to those bad people on his left, 'Go away from me. God has already decided that you will be punished. Go into the fire that burns forever. That fire was prepared for the devil and his angels. You must go away, because I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink. I was alone and away from home, and you did not invite me into your home. I was without clothes, and you gave me nothing to wear. I was sick and in prison, and you did not care for me.' "Then those people will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty? When did we see you alone and away from home? Or when did we see you without clothes or sick or in prison? When did we see these things and not help you?' "Then the king will answer, 'I tell you the truth. Anything you refused to do for any of my people here, you refused to do for me.' "Then those bad people will go away. They will have punishment forever. But the good people will go and have life forever." Matthew 25:41-46

Seems the Republicans forgot this one...

Obama: we will now be in Iraq for 100 years. I will say anything to get elected. I now agree with my friends George Bush and John McCain. This will help get me the votes I need and I could care less about satisfying the Democrats who supported me on the war issue. I am the Messiah and the Presidency is mine.

Obama is a racist like Jeremiah Wright.

MLK a Republican?

Bleat Bleat Bleat = Skip Skip Skip

You're still not relevant.

You're still not relevant Obama Toad.

How about some new material..you're getting old with the constant BS.

Professor Roner states: “In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party, the planter class, and all those who desired the restoration of white supremacy. It aimed to destroy the Republican party’s infrastructure, undermine the Reconstruction state, reestablish control of the black labor force, and restore racial subordination in every aspect of Southern life.”

Let's not forget it was Republicans who pushed the civil rights legislation in Congress and while Barry Goldwater voted against it, he was appalled that segregationists viewed him as sympathetic and came to regret his vote.

McCain is a HERO.
Obaba is a ZERO.

Remember: Robert Byrd IS a Democrat

The Republican Party was more hospitable to those of African heritage when Dr. King was alive. Since then by far most of the bigoted Democrats became Republicans due to the racist appeals of the Republicans, including most especially Nixon and Reagan.

Reagan's first campaign stop after winning the nomination was the birthplace of the KKK -- those in the know knew what that means.

Must have been typed in error. The correction is as follows:

McCain is a HERO.

Obamba is a HERO.

I am starting a new party if anyone would like to get in.

National American Zionist Isolationist Party.

We stand for getting back to Teddy Roosevelt politics, keeping the country and its people a priority not wasting money all over the globe. We stand for the Monroe Doctrine, safe borders, support for Israel, dropping out of the UN, a flat tax for all americans, we will use more bombs then troops to end problems, we will pull back to the borders of Iraq and let them figure things out.
We will offer grants to fund new R+D for energy sources, we will start a program for vehicles that use new fuel sources. We will decrease the size of the Government bureaucracy,


What do you think?

I remember that campaign stop. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

FYI, if Congress and the Senate are controlled by the Democrats with Obama as President, at the end of his term there will be 5 to 7 Liberal "legislate from the bench" judges on the supreme court. When he raises taxes, does not drill for domestic oil, does not allow nuclear plants, raises capitol gains, keeps the borders open, creates Nationalized health care and does what Hugo Chavez did to the oil companies, the economy will be crushed. After he talks to what his name in Iran, and Iran stalls and acquires Nuclear Weapons, they will sell them to terrorists and use them on us and Irael. If your a liberal and you don't believe me, please go to the library and check out a book on basic economics and read Meinkauf by Hitler http://www.scribd.com/doc/222119/Mein-Kampf-by-Adolf-Hitler-translated-by-James-Murphy and "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx. http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=yhOOvF61XKgC&dq=%22Karl+Marx%22&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=IElWI1T-nw&sig=HZ6QJSsceyIbSIkhnhXe2DZ-pek&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result#PPA28,M1
Also read some history books about dictators and their tactics. After that if you still want to support socialism. God help you!

Oh BTW, it was a Democrat President that started the seperate bath rooms for blacks and whites and seperate work areas.
