Would you be surprised?Let me guess, this fucking insane ignorant twat thinks it is part of the Hillary body count, amirite?
If only she was a member of a branch of Govt that is supposed to be the ones actually making the laws. I'm convinced Dems have never seen a single episode of Schoolhouse Rock
Just finished it. Wow. There was a lot of stuff in there I didn't know about him. He just might save this country. He is an amazing man.I hate that I have to put this in here, and I almost put it in the TV thread, but given the nature of things I guess it has to go here.. But has anyone watched Created Equal on Clarence Thomas? It is so good. I generally knew his story, but all the extra details add a lot to his upbringing and later life. Most of it is in his own words, too, and he's one of those people who has only grown more impressive as he's aged.
I'll probably get the book also, but you can watch the video for free on Roku or other places, and it is extremely well done. Even if you don't agree with his politics, he's an amazing success story given where he came from. Highly recommended.
Staunch Constitutionalist, there is a differenceI loved his dissent on affirmative action. He referenced to Declaration of Independence in it with, "we the people" and "inalienable rights" for all people. He is a true constitutionalist, and he should be applauded for standing for all races. I would even go so far as to say that he has done just as much if not more for racial injustice than Martin Luther King did. And he is staunch Republican. Weird.
Fair.Staunch Constitutionalist, there is a difference
We do have quite a few disappointments we've electedFair.
In Congress, you damn right we have.We do have quite a few disappointments we've elected
The left would have you believe he's some betrayer to his race, etc. but as the film showed, he felt much pain from the segregated South and had his time as a Black Power militant activist. He just realized that wasn't the best solution, and he rejected the idea that Blacks need handouts because they aren't as capable as anyone else..I loved his dissent on affirmative action.

American hero, man.The left would have you believe he's some betrayer to his race, etc. but as the film showed, he felt much pain from the segregated South and had his time as a Black Power militant activist.

Also, how about the way he was attacked during his confirmation? The demonstrators were amazingly similar to today's, even with some of the same dumb chants. And when he gave the "high tech lynching" speech, all those White senators who hated him were stunned to silence. Because they knew he was right.
It's of course a good thing we don't have conditions like he grew up in anymore, but it gave him an incredibly strong resolve and backbone. Not sure people are that strong anymore. You know none of those from elite backgrounds are built that way.
It is because we are no longer a proper country. The 1980s Greed Is Good believers are getting it done in their old age.
