"$3 million of stimulus money going towards constructing a high school football stadium in Mississippi"

Great, just what we need. Another excuse for a bunch of n*ggers to run wild and contribute nothing to society.

Nate| 2.9.10 @ 4:54PM

...Uhhhh, what??? Aside from being utterly ridiculous, comments & sentiments like this allow liberals to say "racism still exists in America" and justify entitlement programs--affirmative action, welfare, etc.

Mike| 2.9.10 @ 5:07PM

Where do you live, Nate? Have you ever lived in the South? Spend a few years down there (I've spent much of my life there) and I think your liberal sentiments might change.

One of the biggest mistakes that the Republican party has made over the past forty years is quietly accepting the humiliation that the South underwent during the "civil rights" movement. We've been forced, against the will of the vast majority of people in these states, to accept blacks into every corner of our lives. And we're not happy about it. Go to the South, or spend some time at a Tea Party rally or other gathering of true American conservatives. We've had enough, and we're fighting back.

I don't even know how to respond to this. If I didn't know any better (and I'm not sure I do) I'd say you were a liberal plant coming here to spew a caricatured, faux-conservative point of view to delegitimize the Tea Party movement. You're saying, with a straight face presumably, that the Tea Party movement is about protesting the fact that we've "been forced to accept blacks into every corner of our lives?" True American Conservatives do not feel this way. The Tea Party movement is about the bloated federal government and the coddling of terrorists, not some neo-KKK movement.

You're making other conservatives look bad, and making it impossible for us to finally eliminate affirmative action and welfare programs. Liberals can point to statements like yours and say "this is why we need affirmative action." You're giving them the exactly what they want...The Race Card.

Not that it matters, but I have lived in South Carolina for the past three years.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. When are you going to stop trying to suck up to the "multicultural" left wing in this country? First it was "civil rights," which really meant the federal government telling states how to handle their internal affairs. Then liberals told us, in the wake of 9/11, that we had to be completely accepting of Muslims living inside our borders. Now the government is trying to force us to accept homosexual culture and marriage. Why do you and other RINOs insist on parroting the values of the left wing?

As for the Tea Party movement: first and foremost, the movement is about limiting the power of the federal government and returning power to the states. That means we get to make our own decisions about what we want our communities to look like and what kinds of values we want our children to be raised with. You can call it "racism" if you want, but what it is is states' rights. If you're not in favor of that, I don't think you have any place in this movement.

And finally, spare me the crap about welfare and affirmative action. You and I both know that liberals will be giving hand-outs to those people far into the future, regardless of what they think about conservative American culture. The way we fight back is not by giving in to multiculturalism and the left-wing agenda. We fight back by putting our foot down and saying that we've had enough, and we're not going along with this anymore.

Nice try liberal troll.

Peddle your racist rants over at huffpo.

Nate| 2.9.10 @ 11:35PM

Thanks Nick. Glad I'm not the only one who thought this.

Nick| 2.10.10 @ 11:59AM

Nate,

No problem!
What gave him away was using words like "community" and "values." Typical lib speak.
