Michael Steele won the post of theRNC chair and I couldn’t be happier – well, unless the Democrats all resigned one night after discovering they really ARE a bunch of incompetent boobs. But, to put a damper on the win, AP runs this headline;
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And in the first few paragraphs they make it sound as if Barack Obama broke the racial barrier enabling Steele to win. Nothing could be further from the truth. Conservatives were supporting Steele’s Senate run when most people hadn’t heard of Barack Obama. It was racist Democrats in Maryland that sunk that run (remember Steny Hoyer and his comment about Steele “slavishly” supporting Bush policies<\/a>?)<\/p>\n

Why didn’t AP write “Tallest man ever wins GOP Chair”? I mean, he’s more than black, he’s really, really tall. As evidenced by this picture of Steele and me while he was running for the Senate in Maryland. (Of course that doesn’t prove much if you’re laboring under the misconception that the picture TSO posted below is really me)
\n\"Steele<\/p>\n

See, this where Liberals and Conservatives part on the race issue. Republicans have stayed true to our fellow Republican, Martin Luther King, Jr who said that he looked forward to the day people were judged by WHO they are rather than WHAT they are. <\/p>\n

The most important thing people should look at in Michael Steele is that he’s a Conservative through-and-through. At a time when the media has counted Conservatism dead and buried, Republicans elect a Conservative to lead the party. It hardly sounds like Conservatism is on the trash heap, does it? But Liberals in the Democrat Party and in the media think they’re being supportive of the Black race by trumpeting each and every “first Black [fill in the blank]”. Actually, all they’re doing is saying “See what we white people are doing for you”, instead of praising the man (or woman) for their accomplishments.<\/p>\n

Let me know when those race-o-phobes in the Democrat Party stop judging people based on superficial criteria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
