I took the advice and enjoyed the popcorn. Now it is time to see how many Democrats think that they can get clean rolling in dirt.

Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick thinks that blacks have no other option in life but to be on the public dole. This is true, and please bear in mind the circular nature of her stance.

By her lights, and by the lights of these crazy race enablers, people who have escaped the trap of the public trough – folks like Connie Rice, Colin Powell, Thomas Sowell, Bill Cosby, Clarence Thomas – simply are not black. The argument settles itself.

Look how Cambridge Sgt. Leon Lashley was immediately tagged and threatened as an Uncle Tom when he spoke in support of fellow officer Crowley. Uncle Toms and Oreos – the peer pressure and the welfare pressure to “keep da nigga down” is NOT any kind of white agenda. Even Aryan Nations would accept a reversion to a ‘separate but equal’ system. Kilpatrick and her ilk are the ones whose programs are to demean the black.

As Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said, every GOP Rep. and his/her surviving parents could vote cast votes on a bill and it still wouldn’t be enough to outvote the Democrats – their sheer numbers advantage is too great.

This is a Democrat issue, and a Democrat problem. The GOP just has to sit there and watch, while consuming trans-fat free popcorn.

The Republicans have been the only compromisers since 1950. Look at how we have moved to this over-regulating, bloated behemoth of a government. It is time to move back to the government of the 1950′s where we did not have federal nannies. Republicans need to do like they did in 1948 and undo most of the “Raw Deal” given to us by Presidents Johnson, Carter, Clinton, and now Obama.

If you want to be charitable, dig in your own pocket. Taxes are for needs for the total common good such as defending this country. Yet we spend more than defense (even during Bush fighting two wars) in the social welfare net, and liberals cry IT IS NOT ENOUGH!

If the Republicans can articulate all of this, they will own the country. Unfortunately, it is the “go along to get along” as well as the pork spending that they think their constituents want.

Well, either the Democrats understand how much the people like to watch a car pile-up on the interstate, making Nancy Pelosi the Shakespeare of the Congree, or they are really screwed.

So, is now the time to out flank them? Last summer, the “Drill baby, Drill,” sit in by the Republicans yielded some positive results. Maybe this summer, they could come up with a unified Health Care Reform Bill – basically we want all Republicans as Sponsors, and less than 1000 pages. It wouldn’t need to be that long.

It needs Tort Reform – I am more of a “Loser Pays” guy, but caps on Pain and Sufferring are OK.

It also needs More Options – Most people just need catastrophic coverage, like liability insurance for drivers. But, if someone wants to pay more to see six doctors and get 15 MRI’s, they can get a different policy.

People should be able to shop accross state lines, and both Doctors and Hospitals should have what amounts to a menu of services, so that everyone knows what everything costs – up front.

How many pages would that take? How many Blue Dogs would sign on? What If?

could very well be one of the ones Mean Maxine intends to primary.
