I guess we could ignore the fact that he has black skin, and that it's significant, and that people hate him for it. But I'm sure you're just being silly anyway.


I was fortunate to grow up in a household with no bigotry, or about as close as you can get. As for hate groups, they tend to dress alike which doesn't fit with my flair for individuality.

You're right, I was just having a little fun with you. I would never put you in the same class as those idiots.
As for this whole flap with the veterans, I'm sure it was just a poor choice of words which she now deeply regrets. If every politician had to resign when they made a stupid and/or insensitive comment about a group of people, we'd have very few left to run the country. Wait, maybe I'm onto something...

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
