#1 Between Eric Holder and these scumbag "ministers", race relations have been set back about 20 years this week.

#2 It's such a silly old document.

Well, it *was* written by a bunch of dead white guys, after all.

However, as P.J O'Rourke said, "The U.S. Constitution is less than a quarter the length of the owner's manual for a 1998 Toyota Camry, and yet it has managed to keep 300 million of the world's most unruly, passionate people safe, prosperous and free."

Where did I hear:

"I swear to defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States against all of their enemies, internal and external."

#5 Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act

If it doesn't include a revocation of their US citizenship and a one-way ticket to the sub-Saharan craphole of their choice, get ready for Civil War II.

#9 "It doesn't matter what the Constitution says,"

The Constitution does not prohibit recalling a Congressman, and the details of electing them have been the responsibility of the States, so by the Tenth Amendment, I would conclude recalls are not un-Constitutional.

Stupid and wrong, yes, but not un-Constitutional. Cao seems like a good guy, but he was never going to be more than a one term Congressman anyway. His election may have been a key reason New Orleans was omitted from Porkulus - payback, and a warning - it is the Chicago way.

#10 Glenmore - interesting (and quite certainly correct) thesis. Would also 'splain the lack of outrage in the press.

#11 Anh Cao is the first Vietnames elected to the federal govt. He has quite a story. I would suggest e mailing him and telling him to hang tough.

#12 Nota Bene: The Stimulus package contains absolutely NO reconstruction money for Katrina.

The ministers are liars, and racists.

#16 ...the Rev. Toris Young, who as president of the Louisiana Ministerial Alliance of Churches for All People said he represents 165 churches across the state, with 480 pastors who minister to 20,000 members.

20000/480=....41.6 congregants per "reverend".
Not too impressed with your organization there, "reverend".

"It doesn't matter what the Constitution says," Young said.

Remember you said that the next time the cops pull you over for "driving while black"...

#17 Republicans in La. (there must be a few) need to file complaints with the IRS as soon as these clowns start preaching from the pulpit about who to vote for.

Pull their tax-exempt status and baksheesh non-stimulus money will be the least of their worries.

#19 With all this talk about BLACKS, BLACKS, BLACKS, and the "reparations" "due" them, I'm amazed that no one is considering the plight of the Irish and other indentured servants, the Chinese railroad workers, and the Native American peoples who had it as bad or in may cases worse. How about the white southerners who were caught in the crossfire of the Civil War, and haven't recovered yet from it? What about the poor kids in the Appalachian Mountains, who have it super bad. How about me? I want a pony.

He's obviously read and believes... 'African Americans and the Living Constitution.' Book review HERE.

#23 After reading his background, I'd say Ahn Joseph Cao is one pretty smart guy. What, the ministers don't like a hard-working, self-made legal immigrant that doesn't want a handout?

Now back to TV and one of my favorite old movies "Sgt. York" (and course reading the remainder of posted articles at Rantburg).

#25 Rev. Toris Young, who as president of the Louisiana Ministerial Alliance of Churches for All Potholes said he represents 165 contractors across the state, with 480 pavers who minister to 20,000 miles.
Potholes before assouls, no doubt.
