Nick Gillespie Doesn't Want To Have No Burger With The President

It's a very funny screed, but do make sure to scroll all the way down to the infuriating/poignant video on the D.C. voucher program, which Obama, in Gillespie's words, is "helping to kill in the name of caring about low-income kids trapped in schools [he'd] never send [his] own children to."

I watched the video. I have no sympathy for black people who voted for a man because of his skin color and not his politics now suffering because of this man's politics.

Why? WHY? Because come 2012 he knows you uninformed nincompoops will vote for him again, because he's black and no other reason.

Some black liberation pastor guy said something about chickens coming home to roost? Haha! No s**t.

Crusader- You get my vote for funniest post of the day. I'll be chuckling the rest of the day over that last line. :)

You really have "no sympathy" for a child whose dreams may be downgraded or deferred because of who that kid's parents voted for?

Imagine if Halliburton had the no bid monopoly on running DC schools. ..

Dear Mr. Gillespie
One NEVER ends a sentence with a preposition! heh.
Political class has all the cream. (Statists).

Nor do I have any sympathy for the white guilt set who voted for him and now are "shocked" to find out what a socialist dirtbag he is. Where's a blog about the Afghanistan bombings - that should be a fun one.

No Shawn I don't. I have no sympathy for ANYONE who votes identity politics over principle, and then comes back later when it bites them in the a$$ and cries about it.

If mama (where be baby-daddy, BTW?) wants to send her kids to a "good school" she can do what I have to do, that is: search and search and search for a good Christian school in the area in which I live, and if I can't find one, move, then pay for it herself, which may mean going without "essentials" like vacations and extra TVs, Ipods, cell phones, etc. On top of that I actually, you know, PAY taxes and I'm betting she doesn't pay ANY federal income taxes (BUT gets a big ol' check every April 15th).

So no, no sympathy. If it was possible to have less than no sympathy, I would.

As far as the op ed, I thought it was pretty funny. As for the voucher debacle, I could say that I hope this case would wake up the masses of black people that the line of BS libs have been feeding them for years is just that - BS!!! The Great Society & War on Poverty were, & still are nothing more than mass schemes to KEEP people poor, miserable, & dependent on, & therefore RELIABLE VOTERS FOR, the party who will keep them in the bennies. Of course hoping this will happen is akin to wishing in one hand & sh*tting in the other. When its all done, all you're left with is sh*t.
