Unless it's true. A black man sucking up to the Tea Party with its overt displays of racism is about as close as it comes in today's world.

A famous black conservative came to our college once in the 80s.....
he teaches at George Mason Universtiy or did....he is well known cannot remember his name...

he basically said get rid of the minimum wage
he was against local cities regulating taxis with medallion licensing i.e. one has to bascially pay the NY city government thousands of dollars for the medallion that legitmizes the yellow cab. I thought his advocacy of gypsy cabs was at least interesting and perhaps valid...

but he just really a conservative . He did not believe in affirmative action his belief was that racism exists just get over it and do the best you can. Many of us in the audience hated this.

Walter E Williams is his name.

Ice, that's my experience too. The black conservatives I've met would straighten the left's curly hair, or curl it if it was straight

I believe Finn was calling her a doormat. I was being slightly less charitable. The n word isn't in the lexicon of any democrat that I know.
The problem with your party is that you've allowed the Mad Hatter and the Queen to take over the tea party.
