It’s Wednesday, June 24th, 2015…but before we begin, the senior senator from South Carolina raises a valid point:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Graham: Candidates need to say more than ‘Obama sucks’<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"mccain_graham_imperial_officers_sm<\/a><\/p>\n

For once, Grahamnesty’s actually right; Lindsay, speaking for the rest of the GOP field, you suck as well<\/em><\/span>…along with your buddy McCain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, here’s The Gouge!<\/strong><\/p>\n

First up, in the interests of accuracy, Karl Rove did NOT advocate repeal of the 2nd Amendment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Asked by “Fox News Sunday<\/em>” host Chris Wallace, “How do we stop the violence?” Rove said there isn’t an easy answer.<\/p>\n

…Rove said there might be “some magic law” that would stop the string of gun-related killings in America, but added, “basically the only way to guarantee that we will dramatically reduce acts of violence involving guns is to basically remove guns from society. And until somebody gets enough oomph to repeal the Second Amendment, that\u2019s not going to happen.”<\/span><\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

He simply displayed a total lack of understanding regarding the realities and root causes of gun violence. \u00a0As a public service to Karl and other supposed-Conservatives without the courage, or understanding, of their reputed convictions, we offer these five helpful hints:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone still wondering why Bush II was such a disaster?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, from Yahoo News<\/em>, the pot whose entire<\/em><\/span>\u00a0anti-American life has been dedicated to divisiveness presumes to call the kettle (if you’ll forgive the pun!) black<\/em><\/span>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama in new presidential podcast: US not cured of racism<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"RacePimps\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In an interview, Obama weighed in on the debate over race and guns that has erupted after the arrest of a white man for the racially motivated shooting deaths of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina.<\/p>\n

“Racism<\/em>, we<\/em><\/span> are not cured of it<\/em>,” Obama said. “And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say nigger in public.<\/span> That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt<\/span> discrimination<\/em>.<\/span> Societies don’t, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior<\/em><\/span>.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"That's<\/a><\/p>\n

…The president said while attitudes about race have improved significantly since he was born to a white mother and black father, the legacy of slavery<\/em> “casts a long shadow and that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

So the Geneticist-in-Chief has now settled yet another area of ground-breaking science: racism is inherited<\/em><\/span>!\u00a0 Through…what? \u00a0Some previously-unknown process by which historical events mysteriously mutate human DNA?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"yeahright\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Though if racism is indeed<\/em> genetic, wouldn’t that render racists incapable of acting contrary to their heritage? \u00a0Certainly would explain Moochie!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s the juice: like every other narcissistic zealot whose sense of self is totally dependent upon their crusade, The Obamao knows…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Booker T. Washington knew The Dear Misleader’s kind even back in his day:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"549322194_6672_509629162424944_1263024830_n_xlarge\"<\/p>\n

The story here isn’t<\/em><\/span> a President using the “n” word, but rather the ostensible leader of all<\/em><\/span> Americans informing a portion possessed of a particular pigmentation they’re guilty of crimes committed only in his mind. \u00a0More importantly, the sentence for said transgressions is be to served until such time as The Obamao and his fellow race hustlers feel the appropriate penance has been paid. \u00a0In other words…in perpetuity!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a related item,\u00a0Commentary Magazine<\/em>‘s usually-reliable Max Boot offers not only an inaccurate version of history, but what we strongly believe to be an errant assessment of the situation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Furling the Confederate Flag Is Just the Start<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"541826913<\/a><\/p>\n

“…The Confederate flag has quite rightly come under fire again after the appalling massacre carried out by a white supremacist in Charleston, South Carolina, who murdered nine church goers because they were black. It has become the politically correct stance to assert that the Confederate flag that continues to fly over the grounds of the South Carolina statehouse needs to come down. But just because a position is politically correct doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s wrong.<\/span> In this case, it\u2019s right. Not only should the Confederate flag come down, but I believe it\u2019s also time for Southern states to change place names in honor of traitors such as Jefferson Davis.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I know, I know: it\u2019s a slippery slope that could eventually result in taking slaveholders such as George Washington off our currency or even renaming our national capital.<\/span> But Washington, in spite of being a slaveholder, also helped to create this country as a bastion of freedom.<\/span> The good he did far outweighed his deplorable participation in the slave-owning customs of his time and place<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span> I can think of no similar redeeming virtues that can be claimed for the likes of Jefferson Davis who helped to plunge this country into a civil war that left as many as 800,000 dead in a fruitless quest to ensure that slavery would remain legal.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I believe it is a calumny to assert that the South of today is unchanged from the 1860s or 1960s. But the South needs to complete its transformation by finally jettisoning the remaining symbols of its dark past.<\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

So, the entire<\/em><\/span> Palmetto State, indeed, the citizens of every state which once comprised the Confederacy, are required to react as the result of a calamity caused by one crazed South Carolinian?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n
