Yet another Exhibit A. Obama has maintained a moral and ethical standard unsurpassed in American history, and in the face of opposition that no other President ever had to endure. Stellar performance during a period of tremendous upheaval and very directed and unyielding efforts to destroy him. We can't even get Congress to have a hearing on a very moderate Supreme Court Justice.

Thanks for that Mrs. Obama.

Mike Pence: Sarah Palin Without The Charisma

It is too amazing to be true. Donald Trump charged Arthur Culvahouse, the same DC lawyer who vetted Sarah Palin, with vetting his VP choices.

And Trump has ended up picking Sarah Palin, without the charisma.

One source who used to work as a senior staff member in the House of Representatives told me, “Pence, smart? I used to eat salads at the Rayburn cafeteria that had more brains than Mike Pence.”

That certainly fits Mike Pence.

Mike Pence who, in 2001, still was seriously trying to claim that cigarette smoking wouldn’t kill you, writing “Time for a quick reality check. Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill. In fact, 2 out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness and 9 out of ten smokers do not contract lung cancer.”

Mike Pence who, just last year, looked like a deer in headlights on television, when asked to explain a law he just signed. He was completely unable to tell George Stephanopoulos if the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (Reminder: a bill he just signed) would allow bakers and florists to refuse service to same-sex couples being married. The performance was widely mocked, and thought to be the end of his Presidential ambitions.

Mike Pence who, when asked if he believes in evolution, had to repeat the question, before giving a nonsensical response.

Mike Pence who either didn’t read, or didn’t understand, that he signed a law that requires women to bury or cremate their periods, if they contain a fertilized egg, leading to the Periods for Pence movement.

It isn’t so much that Mike Pence is a lightweight in the brains department.

It’s that Mike Pence is a lightweight in the brains department, and also ridiculously incompetent.

Remember that religious freedom bill that Pence signed, but couldn’t explain? Upon finding out that it wasn’t at all popular, that everyone realized it could be used to discriminate against gays and lesbians, and coming under pressure from a nationwide boycott of Indiana as a result, Pence was forced to sign an amendment protecting the LGBT community, thus taking out the reason religious groups wanted the original law in the first place. The result ended up being the whole ordeal was an epic waste of time, that needlessly had Hoosiers at each others’ throats.

Pence, in his infinite wisdom, decided that banning needle exchanges would curb drug use, despite evidence to the contrary. What happened, because of inept Mike Pence? Oh nothing, just an explosion of HIV in the state. So much so that Pence was forced to sign needle exchanges back into law.

Mike Pence also once decided to start spending resources to develop a state-controlled news service, which would feed the media with prewritten stories, and be the one to break “news” (read: “propaganda”) about his administration. When confronted with the fact that it was, well, kind of Soviet, Pence decided to stop developing the news service.

These are just some of the reasons that Mike Pence was very possibly on his way to being beaten for reelection as governor, by a state rep who hasn’t been in politics for 14 years, before Donald Trump saved his hide.

How bad is his reputation in the state? Republicans want Pence out of Indiana. Reported CNN, “[Trump picking Pence] also makes for a good fit for Indiana Republicans, who are ready for Pence to go after a tumultuous first term in Indiana that has opened up a chance for Democrats to claim the governor’s office.”

Oh, the title of that piece? “Indiana GOP to Trump: Take Mike Pence, Please!”

Like the former Congressional staffer above, the people of Indiana and Republicans found out, pretty darned quick, that Mike Pence is as inept and bumbling as he is lacking in intellect.

This is Donald Trump’s first presidential-level decision, and he didn’t just whiff.

He whiffed very, very badly.

After November, when the post-mortems on the Trump loss are written, people will look back on Pence and think, “What was Trump thinking?”

Wrong. There has not been a "class" other than Native Americans who have been subjected to sub-human, barbRic treatment like those two peoples.

You are a typical con who broadly asserts things that aren't true. Doubt it? Then what group are you thinking of that was also brought here in chains etc etc ....ongoing through centuries of treatment that no other group has endured.

Unless you provide us with a specific example of what you expect of some groups, we will just file your whine under the heading RACIST

Are you serious? Have you ever studied history? That has to be the most imbecilic comment I have ever read.
If you wish to narrow it down to "brought here in chains...last 2 centuries" you are right. No other group of people comes to mind.
Historically that is a pretty narrow focus. That's like asking which people in Europe were treated the worst in the 1940's? Many "classes" have been subjected to inhumane treatment-historically.

Check out (Google - there are photos) 19th and early 20th century NYC slums, lots of non African immigrants in pretty awful conditions. Search the history of Irish and British relations. Got news for ya, the Irish were treated far worse than American slaves. How about the Jews and just about everyone? Ever hear about some of the genocide taking place in African countries? How did the Spanish/Portuguese treat the inhabitants of the new world? Many, many more...you can and should do the research.

Point being, it's the here and now. Just as others have overcome hardships, not of their own creation, so to must the neglected classes of today. Nobody is expecting them to do it on their own, everone needs to work together, but the blame game needs to end.

I think you are on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to which political party can make it happen, so I will always be a racist "con" in your eyes. That's what brain washing does to a person.

Love the arrogance of the progressive "elite". That will deliver the result we are looking for. Keep it up! Please!

You know what is REALLY funny about that cartoon, Democrats/Hillary are dependent on minorities to get elected and as they like to point out, these people are among the beneficiaries of the worse performing schools in the country (thanks to the Democrats kowtowing to the teachers' unions). Oh the irony of liberal logic!

Many neglected classes have been able to pull themselves out from awful situations. African Americans can do the same. Some of the social programs designed to help have stagnated their progress. If you vote democratic, nothing will change and they're counting on your vote.
Trump may only be a blip in history, but we need to try a new approach.

"Racism is a mindset that strips individuals of their humanity; that casts them as objects; that denies that each is a unique divine creation.

The moral power of the civil rights movement was to wake America up to this truth and it succeeded because it appealed to the moral conscience of the nation. It prevailed because it was a religious movement led by a Christian pastor and not a political movement led by a community organizer.

When civil rights turned into laws, when it moved out of the church and into the hands of politicians and the politically ambitious, it took on the same characteristics of the disease it was meant to eradicate.

When civil rights law became not about obliterating unequal treatment under the law but about using political power to socially engineer outcomes, the same individuals whose humanity we wanted to save were turned into new kinds of political objects for liberals to manipulate.

As a result, we engraved race awareness and differences deep into our national political culture, almost guaranteeing that an era where people are judged by the “content of their character” would be impossible.

It is why after almost two terms of a black man occupying the White House racial tensions continue to rage.

Racial manipulation, Confederate-style, has just been replaced by racial manipulation, liberal-style." - Star Parker

Southern country white guy is unedumacated = he's a meth-smoker and it's his own fault
Northern city black guy is uneducmacated = it's slavery's fault.

This where you leftists are taking some scary turns:

Ebony editor Jamilah Lemieux said she wasn’t “comfortable” describing the targeting killing of five police officers in Dallas as a “hate crime.”

She even went a step further during her Wednesday appearance on CNN, suggesting it’s very “tricky” to assume white people and police officers can be classified as victims of hate crimes.

“I have to say, I would not describe ‘hate crime’ as the most comfortable word choice, considering these circumstances,” Lemieux said. “There is so much we don’t know about what took place, what motivated this person.”

Dallas Police Chief David Brown said Dallas gunman Micah Johnson said he wanted to kill white officers as retaliation for recent police-involved shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota. He killed five cops and wounded seven others before police took him out with a bomb-delivering robot.

Despite these statements, Lemieux remained unconvinced that the killings fall into the “hate crime” category. She went on to explain her point of view.

“When we use a phrase like ‘hate crime,’ we’re typically referring to crimes against people of color, people of various religious groups, LGBT people, people who have been historically attacked, abused or disenfranchised on the basis of their identity,” she added.

But she continued: “To now extend that to the majority group and a group of people that have a history with African-Americans that has been abusive – and we can apply that to either police officers or to Caucasians – I think gets into very tricky territory. So I’d like to know if he was referring to the hate crime because he singled them out by race or because they were police officers.”


It is attitudes like hers that make me oppose hate crime laws and when I am on juries I never vote to convict on hate crime charges - the crime itself maybe but never a hate crime.

Summed up. White people are bad and murdering white people isn't really a crime.
What a complete lunatic.

How is this even a talking point? Who gets to decide what hate is, who have been "historically targeted"? That's out of control crazy.

Hate is hate, it's color blind.

hmmm - ordinarily you people say everyone who isn't of white European decent is neglected. You people change like the wind. Mostly stink like the downwind of a septic tank.

Dodging the simple question? Fine. How about you let us know exactly who you mean by "you people"? Used it twice there. Just can't help your little hater self.

Self-aware much?
