re #3: which is no doubt why the Congressional Black Caucus spends
so much time hounding Colin Powell, right?

As expected, klg reduces matters of priciple to matters of race.

Rane in resp:5 :: "neoconservative" really gets badly abused these
days. It does *not* mean "extreme conservative." The Bush
administration has a lot of neocons in it, but they are by no means
the whole pie, and in Congress the neoconservatives do not have
excessive power.
The original neocons were former leftists, in some case out-and-out
communists, who switched sides in the Cold War, more or less.
Neocons these days are more concerned with global power issues and
support using America's power to reshape the world in our favor.
Neoconservatives led us into the recent war in Iraq,
they'd been pushing for such a war for years before Sept. 11 2001.
But outside of a general tilt towards business interests and away
from individuals, I don't see the neocons as having as extreme a
domestic agenda as is ascribed to Justice Brown in these postings.
I've never heard anyone I think of as a neoconservative argue that
the 14th amendment should not apply to the states.
One might better characterize these views as "paleoconservative;"
a leading spokesman for this point of view is Pat Buchanan, who was
passionately against the war in Iraq.
The Neocon/Paleocon split within the Republican party pops up
in a number of places. In general:
The Neoconservatives support the projection of American power
overseas, and they are passionate supporters of Israel.
On US social issues they are generally quiet, though I'm willing
to listen to folks tell me I'm wrong on that.
The Paleoconservatives want to strip the Federal government of
power; they want America to stop meddling overseas and they are
critical of support for Israel. They tend to extreme social
conservative views: anti-gay, pro-fundamentalist-Christian,
anti-social-services. They are rabidly anti-taxation.
In general, I characterize them as wanting to repeal the 20th
century. :)
But I digress.

Re #3: Did I call it, or what?
The Republicans are hoping that, by playing the race card, they can get
a black ultraconservative into a position where they can't get a white
ultraconservative.

Ha Ha
The cocksucking liberals looked like the bigots and FOOLS they are in
contesting this fin example of black womenhod. Janice is a perfect judge.
The republicans made the liberals look like the far left commies they really
are. The election will go quite well for us. I hope the stupid ass democrats
contest every one Bush nominates. It will only result in a total exposure of
their sick and perverted agenda. America is a conservative nation.64% of all
Americans claim to be conservative.
gull you are one stupid bastard. I have beat your sorry ass in every debate
you summoned the courage to challenge me in. You finally twit filtered me
because your arguements were so weak they couldn't withstand my great
debating skills. I will agree on one thing though...you are a great
masterbater....you sick nut-chinned anal assassin.
Henceforth I shall call you the nut-ninja.

Re #13: Respond to some of the actual points in my message and we can have a
debate. So far all you've done is name-calling, which I'm not really
interested in.

PROOF THAT GOD EXITS!!
(How else can you explain this miracle??)
The Washington Times reports Al Sharpton, racial demagogue and
Democratic presidential candidate, urges Democratic senators not to
filibuster President Bush's nomination of Justice Janice Rogers Brown
for the Circuit Court of Appeals. "I don't agree with her politics. I
don't agree with some of her background," Sharpton says. "But she
should get an up-or-down vote."
Sharpton's comments came in the wake of a news conference by "black
leaders" . . . whose idea of "civil rights" is to demand rigid
ideological uniformity from all black would-be public servants. "Mr.
Sharpton echoed the concerns of many conservatives-especially black
conservatives-that Justice Brown is being opposed because she doesn't
conform to the Democratic ideology that many blacks espouse," reports
the Times.

What's the "miracle" in this? It was someone expressing an opinion. People
do that all the time.

I think it is very consistent for Sharpton. She is, after all, Black.

Ever since Tawana Brawley, Sharpton has been nothing more than a
publicity-craving racist demagogue, as far as I'm concerned.
Just goes to show what a bit of persistence and a lot of time can
do.
