Excellent - at least I think so, but then, I am white. I don't like the fact that 95% of black people voted for one political party. I don't think it reflects well on our nation that the races are so polarized.

Al Gore would probably reward Jesse Jackster with a position in his administration--a truly dismal reality! From the forgoing editorial: Indeed, no rhyme intended, a Gore presidency would no doubt mean a Jackson lieutenancy. I can't believe the thought never occurred to me until reading this editorial, but the signs were obvious when we saw Jesse TheBackStabber at numerous Gore events during the campaign. Talk about no principles. He's snake oil incarnate. Whenever he comes into town to speak, I always attend so I can watch with amazement at how he manipulates the crowd like whipped butter into an emotional frenzy masquerading under the veil of a preacher, but deftly stirring up and magnifying any shreds of discontent he can find to suit his agenda. It is always a "religious" experience. That is... to observe the "Religious Left" in action. He's a master at magnifying discontent As one who promotes the "Tolerance" mantra, after listening to Jesse enough, you get the impression that he doesn't like white people at all. He has very little tolerance for them. Especially white Jewish people. After all, I'll never forget how he referred to New York City as "Hymie Town" in the 1980's. He had those opinions then about Jews and do you think he's changed his internal thoughts signifantly? Of course not. Predictably, Jesse Jackster received scant reprimand from the Democrats for that slip of honesty at the time, but witness how the Democrytes got their underwear all bunched up this year when that baseball player (his name escapes me at the moment because I don't follow baseball!) made negative comments about New York City yet didn't use racial epithets other than mentioning immigrants in general.

When Mr. Jackson rides into a situation like Florida, his purpose is always the same: to use racism to undermine the moral authority of laws or standards or rules so that excepting blacks from them can be seen as an act of justice. Yes, the law says the election must be certified seven days after the vote. But there is a whiff of racial oppression in the air. The word "disenfranchisement" has come into easy usage with its imagery of Jim Crow injustice. Now Florida's election law loses much of its moral authority. And now justice requires exceptionalism -- that the terms of the law be set aside, that deadlines be extended, that recounts be allowed to the point of redundancy. So where are the democrats crying "mob rule, strong arm tactics"? Dirty filthy democrat hypocrites.
