Just busting your chops.......Hope to see you at a caucus, and happy voting.

"Stevie Wonder! Looking back on when I was a little nappy headed boy...Isn't she lovely...etc...etc. He was 20 minutes late getting to the concert...his daughter performed first, he went into a rant of "I believe this and I believe that about the war, and on and on with his liberal views...the audience got quiet and people began to leave, Raliegh is a very conservative city...we actually left an hour into the show, paid $100 for tickets too, but I will be darned if I am going to pay that kind of money to hear his political stance. I came to hear the music . He didn't finish a song, he would start and get the audience to participate and then just bailed out of it. Pretty religious too. I know he is getting up there in age, but I was very disappointed he used his concert to as a soap box for his political views. Don't push it on me. I am old enough to make my own decisions."

By the way, I think it's humorous to see this appear on my Amazon.com banner at the top of the page!

I am guessing you're caucusing for Obama because it is one less vote for the "b****" which was your word for Hillary Clinton.

Gee, I stand corrected. You're trumping the fact that, despite the fact that 12 hours ago you described Senator Obama with the political insightfulness that he is "the black", he's your candidate. I'm sure on the 1st Tuesday in Nov. 2008, based on your fanatical right wing posts in the past that you will not be voting for Sen Obama if he wins the nomination.

And, Skibo, you tout your party's record of 70 years ago on civil rights issues. The modern Republican party does not even remotely resemble the Republican party that elected Lincoln.

And I am not backing down from my KKK comment. I think the KKK - a group that identifies people based on whether they area "black" a "hispanic" a "jew" or a "woman" (or to use Garry's word "b****") would relish having such like minded people as Garry and Skibo as their candidates. Their attitudes shown in their posts are statements classifying people based only on their races/gender.

Is he outspoken about how he feels on issues? Yes he is. Is he a racist? Hell no. I think you owe both Garry and Skibo an apology for the KKK comment.

Please no apology for me. I find it amusing that the liberals are the first to accuse republicans of being racist. Democrats quickly forget which party ended slavery. They also seem to forget which party passed the civil rights legislation of the 1960's. They also forget that it was the southern democrats that founded the KKK. They tend to ignore Robert Byrd's involvement in the KKK. They fought hard in an attempt to keep an honorable black man off the Supreme Court with lies. Through out history republican presidents have had more diverse staffs than the democrat presidents.

Some other tidbits.
-Every single African-American in Congress, House and Senate, until 1935 was a Republican.
-The first black governor in Louisiana was a republican (1872)
-Republicans led the fight for women’s voting rights -- and the Democrats, as a party, opposed civil rights for women. All of the leading suffragists -- including Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton -- were Republicans. In fact, Susan B. Anthony bragged, after leaving the voting booth, that she had voted for “the Republican ticket -- straight.”
-An early Republican leader, Salmon P. Chase, earned the nickname “Attorney General of Fugitive Slaves” for defending runaway slaves.
-Republican civil rights advocates also used the courts to advance a colorblind vision of America. Thus, it was Republican Justice Harlan who dissented from the “separate but equal” ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), declaring that “our Constitution is colorblind.” This became the rallying cry of the NAACP in its later battles to undo the segregation imposed on the South by the Democratic Party.
-During the 1920s, the Ku Klux Klan arose again as a national force. Republican presidents Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge denounced KKK violence and supported a federal anti-lynch law, which passed the Republican House before repeatedly dying in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
-Continuing through the 1930s and 1940s, when Franklin Roosevelt refused to have pictures taken with blacks, the Republican Party called for desegregation of the military, antilynching laws, and the right to vote. Furthermore, while FDR sent Japanese Americans to internment camps, a conservative newspaper chain denounced this violation of civil rights, as did the influential black conservative George Schuyler.

Black and native American history are two of my greatest interests. You can call me racist if you wish, but if you look at my background, my charitable contributions, my history as an employer and my wife, you would have a very difficult time making that racist tag stick.

Take some time sometime and try to help improve the life of someone that doesn't have it as good as you, not by the hit and run method of just throwing money at them, but mentor a disadvantaged child, offer employment to someone that isn't from your pearly white neighborhood, purchase products made by minority owned enterprises. Some of your bitterness might go away.

What does matter is what I see all of the time from my inside point of view and that is that almost everytime I hear the N-bomb it's from someone that is a republican, not everytime but maybe 95 percent of the time. Not hating though, some of my best friends are republicans, just stating facts. Keep in mind though that I do live in the south (north Florida) so that may play a factor. I guess there's a difference between southern "redneck" republicans and northern republicans?

You're wrong. The Civil Rights Acts of the mid '60s which ended segregation were violently opposed by Republicans - including the GOP's presidential candidate at the time, Goldwater.
