March began with white coated doctors at the White House, unable to reconcile the lies of a rabid socialized-medicine hound, committing malpractice by failing to first do no harm by clothing the big-eared, self-described mutt in a strait jacket.

Partisan party politics, even in a so-called “non-partisan” municipal election, and even when whites and blacks are largely split along separate party lines, does not equate, necessarily to “racial politics”. The view from the Stone Mountain of Georgia Atlanta’s mayoral run-off proves the post-racial politics trend DeVine Law & Politics has thoroughly examined the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s skin pigmentation obsessions and racist projections from the beginning | Read More »
I wish the *Atlanta Journal-Constitution would hire some black folks (or DeVine Law Gamecock) to help them find the truthful news; get over their own white guilt; and quit projecting that guilt onto the people of the city this conservative Republican loves.

The latest insult to Atlanta voters cites MSM polls showing a strong inclination for people to | Read More »
The 9.8% of Americans that are unemployed and the 90.2% that are either employed or have given up looking, are told that the Great Recession is over. Don’t believe a word of it or find a new word to describe the trouble we are in as a nation. I wrote last year that no matter who was elected President that we, as a people, would | Read More »
The racists in this drama are the media No matter how incessantly the Drive-by media talks about white and black voters, the change in the relative fortunes of frontrunner Mary Norwood and runner-up Kasim Reed is about leadership qualities, and not the relative pigmentation of their skins.
