The Moderate White American, Shameful Acts of Cowardly Comfort.
That title represents bold words for a one-eyed-fat-man. I have two eyes. I am also the alter-ego of an old white man – and my fellow white people, intelligent political moderates, have come up short in the advancing civilized struggle for morality and justice.

Obama Announces More White House Picks
Two of these we sort of knew: Ron Klain will become Vice President Joe Biden’s chief of staff and Valerie Jarrett, longtime friend and confidante of both Barack and Michelle Obama, will have the title Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Liaison (which looks like a very broad troubleshooting […]

McCain Disgraces Greatest Generation
The McCain campaign has catered to the Skin Head, Nazi, KKK, white supremacy mentality. We know John McCain, he has been around a long time. McCain has never catered to the wacko class of degenerate Rush Limbaugh followers. So what happened? Falling poll numbers prompted desperation. The McCain camp has been like a rat backed […]

MSNBC Dumbs Down Demographics

A Personal Understanding of Racism
