Dipy, Just Watts, whose father said that a black man voting Republican was like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders. <G>

The problem is, the ratio of stupid blacks to normal blacks is still too high. Of course that is likely to change now that the Republicans Powell and Rice have publicly and consistently shown what political excellence looks like in brown skin. Until their examples, blacks essentially had only certified ignoramuses like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to look upon as political leaders. And Democrats were perfectly happy to keep it that way. This brings up another silver lining in the upcoming Rice testimony. I was recently thumbing through my Time Magazine, the current issue of which aims to bring down Condi Rice. As always, when Time puts cross-hairs on a conservative, it shows an unflattering picture of the person in connection with an unflattering question. I looked inside the issue and saw a picture of Colin Powell whispering something to Rice while people in the background took photos. These are two of the most powerful people in the world, and they are Republicans. In the very recent past, such a thing would not have been even remotely considered. In the more recent past it may have been considered, but only for token purposes. Leftists would have oohed and ahhhed and coddled them as they now do their plantation "negros" Jesse Jackson and Al Sharption. But now that leftists have seen in Powell and Rice blacks who are here to really play, who are amongst the heaviest hitters in world politics, who are able to do for America what no leftist, whatever his color, has ever had the moral courage and guts to do, I say now that this has happened, the leftists have gone for these blacks' throats as they have gone for every other decent American's. Leftists are coddling their "negros", but attacking Powell and Rice with all the viciousness and evil they have employed against all decent Americans. It is a good thing. Perhaps, just perhaps, as Rice courageously takes on the leftist snakes next week, many now ignorant blacks will see in her the greatness that can be in their children. Maybe some of them will begin to move once again toward the decency and "twice better" tenacity that used to be part and parcel of their historically fantastic culture. That would be a very pleasurable outcome indeed!
