WASHINGTON — When black voters gave President Barack Obama 93 percent support on Election Day in defiance of predictions that they might sit it out this year, black leaders breathed a collective sigh of relief. That encouraged those leaders to try to leverage more attention from both Obama and Congress. Although they waver over how much to demand from the president — particularly in light of defeated GOP challenger Mitt Romney´s assertion that Obama gave "gifts" to minorities in exchange for their votes — they are delivering postelection wish lists to the president anyway.

Riiiight, you turn out every election and vote for the Democrats. Why should they do anything special for you? It´s not like you are going to start voting Republican. Heck, they can scare you with some story about how those scary Republicans are going to try and re-enslave you (even though it was the Republicans who fought to end slavery) and you will turn out in droves.

I heard a black lady spokesman on Fox demand in no uncertain terms that Republicans fall in line and give the president the taxes he wants. When she was asked about cuts in spending she mentioned only one: The military, she said, has been given more money that it ever asked for.
The Democrats always gut the military, and, why not, since the military votes predominently Republican.

Blacks voting for democrats is, on a much smaller scale, like Jews voting for Hitler. Democrats have entrenched blacks in generational bare subsistence welfare misery. Are the black leaders trying to increase the number of whole families in their community? You know, like ones with a father and a mother? I don´t hear them asking for help with that major problem. What they like is raising the minimum wage, which drives black youth unemployment still higher. Democrat politicians are quite happy with the black situation as it is. Do blacks really think business will be hiring when their taxes are going to go up, regulations will be increasing, and obamacare will smother them?

I have news for these dunderheads - black unemployment is likely to get worse now that BO care is a certainty.
Any business owner who wants to get rid of the BO voters on his payroll can get rid of the black employees secure in the knowledge that 96% if them voted for The Won. He/she can throw in a few single white women and hispanics for good measure to make it "fair."

#8 - Why should they work? Everything they want is given to them with no strings attached. I don´t know how much more they expect, but I´m sure they´ll think of lots of things and Obama is only too happy to punish Whitey.
Obviously the black unemployment number does not matter by the results of the Nov. 6th election.

That´s funny.
They long ago went from "loyal" to "dupe."
Lookit, y´all -- the Dems have all the voting records and registration information they need; they have election-fixing down pat; they can dial-a-"turnout" and come up with whatever "vote count" is needed anywhere, any time, which will go unchallenged. So, as Chili said to Bo in "Get Shorty," "If I need a ride, I´ll call you."
Although it must be said that they´ve been consistently bigoted throughout.
Disgusting!

But the black community are absolutely right - Obama hasn´t been any help. It is true, he leveraged their trust to get himself in position to undertake a bunch of sixties ideas. If he were going to really help them, that would be different, but he isn´t. It´s going be same old, same old. If he actually helped that community, improved the schools and so on ... Oh, why think through the rest of that sentence. He won´t.

The Justice Department is taking the first steps toward carrying out President Obama’s executive actions on gun control. Attorney General Eric Holder on Friday released three proposals to strengthen the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which was one of the 23 actions ordered by Obama last week to tackle gun violence. The proposed regulations would give local law-enforcement agencies access to the gun-sale database that is maintained by the FBI. The rules would also preserve records of denied weapons sales indefinitely. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act already requires federal background checks for gun purchases, but not every firearm

It’s a popular talking point with conservatives that the purpose of the Second Amendment is to act as a check on a tyrannical government, our own government. According to liberal radio and TV host Thom Hartman, though, the original purpose of the amendment was to act as a check on rebellious slaves, which might just put a kink in Gun Appreciation Day founder Larry Ward‘s theory about Martin Luther King. On Hartmann’s The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann, Hartmann laid it out. “Gun-crazy America is arming up,” he said. ”While Vice President Biden and his gun task force think of

Faced with increasingly stringent benchmarks—the government´s new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards require a passenger vehicle fleet that averages 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025—carmakers are taking another approach to achieving better fuel mileage: shaving weight off vehicles by experimenting with lighter materials. Automobiles have long been made from steel—a very strong, but heavy material. Now manufacturers are experimenting with new materials—ranging from aluminum to carbon fiber composites to metal alloys—to help companies reach the ambitious fuel efficiency standards.

Author and economist Walter Williams told The Daily Caller that the purpose of the Second Amendment is to protect Americans from their own government — not simply to ensure hunting rights. Williams, a syndicated columnist and the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University, suggested that common misconceptions about the Second Amendment undermine the gun control debate. “[The Founding Fathers´] stated reason was to allow the American people to protect themselves from the United States Congress — that is, government.

Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman threatened Monday afternoon that he would file articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama if he institutes gun control measures with an executive order. Stockman warned that such executive orders would be “unconstitutional” and “infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.” “I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment,” Stockman said in a statement.

Many of the responses I’ve gotten to my article on the Republican plan to use the debt ceiling as leverage to force Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to pass a budget have been along these lines: If it is against the law for Congress not to pass a budget (and it is), and if Harry Reid is violating that law (and he is), then why can’t something be done about it? Why can’t Reid be charged with something? Or perhaps a lawsuit be brought? The answer is the law requiring Congress to pass an annual budget, the Congressional Budget Act

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
