Lewis, A Lazy Media, And Their Race Cards

Bob Parks — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:47:47 +0000

The only question I have for Congressman John Lewis is, “What took you so long?” The McCain campaign was apparently caught off guard by the the race card salvo, while many of us knew this day would officially come. (more…)

It’s Always Been All About Race

Bob Parks — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:18:10 +0000

I think we all know what’s coming. The ramp up to the November general election will be ugly. That’s the very nature of politics today. But it’s what’ll happen afterwards that should be cause for concern.

America is a racially fractured nation, okay? Let’s be honest here. Despite all our overtures and marches and Kumbaya moments, when the rubber meets the road, the race issue is that which always seems makes us swerve into the ditch. You thought the aftermath of the 2000 election was unfortunate? Just wait and see what happens if Barack Obama loses. (more…)

Selected, Not Elected II

A fair amount of people (those who seldom agree with me on anything) take issue with my use of the phrase “Affirmative Action president” when referring to Barack Obama. Like many who even today receive preferential treatment in hiring or admissions because of their race or gender, Obama hasn’t put in the time, thus is considered vastly inexperienced when it comes to his applying for the top job in our nation.

And the perception is he is receiving a lot of support where it shouldn’t be coming from. (more…)

If Bad Things Happened To Politicians

Many of us have heard the story of Jamiel Shaw, the promising young Los Angeles high school football star shot to death by an illegal-alien-gangbanger. We know that his mother, Army Sgt. Anita Shaw, got the news while serving her country in Iraq. We know that the punk who killed her son was at one point in custody, but was released without having his immigration status scrutinized.

Playing Games With History

Bob Parks — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 10:16:07 +0000

While predictable, it’s quite sad to watch the media elite marvel at Barack Obama’s 30-minute lecture on Race in America. They gaze in sheer awe as Obama took on such a delicate and politically landmine-laden topic. The problem is, besides the cloaked admission that he lied about not hearing Reverend Wright’s comments personally for days last week, and subtly inserting into the speech that he did, he threw his grandmother under the bus comparing Wright’s comments to ones he claims she said that made Obama “cringe”.

The Death Obsession

Bob Parks — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:36:35 +0000

What is it with the liberal fascination with death?

A couple of years ago, a film called “Death of a President” was met with critical acclaim. It was a documentary-style production with George W. Bush’s head digitally composited where needed. Those who found the subject matter tasteless were told to “lighten up”, as it was only a movie. (more…)

The Other Foot

Bob Parks — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 10:30:31 +0000

Under normal circumstances, this election cycle would be gearing up for the coming explosion. We’d be waiting for the inevitable. At some point in the coming weeks, a Republican would be accused of being a racist.With that, it’s kind of fun watching the media scratch their collective oversized, dandruffed heads, contemplating why the current Democrat primary race is being plagued by the very infection normally reserved for their enemies.

2008

Bob Parks — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 10:12:44 +0000

Every year, people come out with their “New Year’s Resolutions”; their wish lists of things they hope to either accomplish or see accomplished during the coming year.

As we all know, many of these wishes, or “pledges”, are broken within days, so I don’t hold much optimism that these will hold, but there’s nothing wrong with hoping… (more…)

Words Come Back To Haunt

Ron Paul has since issued a half-assed apaulogy for comments he made in some of his previous newsletters, but that isn’t stopping the Daily Kos and others to again make the link between Republicans and racists.“Black males age 13 that have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary, and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such.” (more…)

Okay, Let’s Talk Conspiracy

Bob Parks — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 16:33:49 +0000

I’ve been writing columns for a few years now, so I’ve had the opportunity to see patterns when they look me square in the face and, based on my recent encounters with Ron Paul supporters, patterns have begun to emerge.

When you look at some of the pictures of Ron Paul supporters, you see young and old alike, but you also see the peace signs, the word “love” reversed in the word “revolution”. What one clearly sees is a bunch of disenfranchised liberals who assume they’ve found a welcoming new home. (more…)
