  1. Again, this is a ploy.

    TeamObama knew this wasn't gonna fly.

    I bet they were surprised it was 5-4.

    But the fact it was 5-4 makes it all the better. C all those Angry White Men celebrating on TV, and one sellout Mexican.:D

  2. If anything, this will solidify her position.

  3. If the so-called ruling class were able to b disenfranchised then they are no longer capable, now are they.

    Worse, if u examine ur words ur ego says that ur entitled to rule. And the fact that people have challenged that assertion make u petulant. That is what is killing the Angry White Male.

  4. No one. Was that even a point of contention?

    Straw Man.

  5. Did everybody in Zimbabwe stay? Nope.

    Did every Jew in Germany stay?
    Nope.

    If it gets serious enough..........


    I have given the answer to this type of warfare b4. Leave the man alone. Attack the ideas.

    And for the right to have any credibility at all to the buffalo u will have to separate urselves with vigor from Stromfront.

    Pabst and Mag Light r avowed racists. Congratulations for their candor. The price they pay is that any criticism of Obama will b dismissed out of hand.

    Rush is in that same boat, although he has not actually said that he is racist a strong case of his soundbytes has been used against him, and since Rush is associated with conservatives, and conservatives are associated with the pubs. Even the moderate pubs are guilty by association.

    This is the perception, the image. In Hollywood and Politics we all know that image is everything. :)

  6. Mercor

    Mercor

    Ginsburg opens her opinion by observing that "the white firefighters who scored high on New Haven's promotional exams understandably attract this Court's sympathy." To which Alito replies:

    "Sympathy" is not what petitioners have a right to demand. What they have a right to demand is evenhanded enforcement of the law--of Title VII's prohibition against discrimination based on race. And that is what, until today's decision, has been denied them.

    Presumably if the plaintiffs belonged to a group for which Ginsburg had "empathy," she would have been more inclined to rule in their favor. "Sympathy," by contrast, is an empty sentiment offered to disfavored classes in lieu of equal protection. Such distinctions between classes of people cannot be reconciled with equality under the law. "Sympathy" is the new "separate but equal."

  7. The Penguins beat the Red Wings this year 4-3 in the Stanley Cup. I'm sure Red Wings fans think they actually won since it was only a 1 game win.

  10. What I find really funny, is we ARealConnTrader calling everyone else racist, but he seems completely fixated by race. He does not see Ricci as a firefighter, he sees Ricci as an Angry White. He sees the rest of the firefighters as 19 Angry Whites and one Sell-out mexican. He does not see Obama as the President, he sees him as a black. He sees Sotomayor not as a judge, but a Latina. He does not look at a persons record, or their position, he simply looks at their race and makes a judgement. If anyone has any issue with race, it seems blatantly clear ARealConnTrader does.
