Actor/commentator Joseph C. Phillips, a black conservative, sums it up RIGHT:

How do you feel about Obama winning the presidency?

"Clearly there is something exciting about reaching this moment in our history. However, this moment must pale when compared with those values and principles that guide ones life. I am a Christian and I am a conservative. For those reasons his election is troubling. The good news is that now that he is elected he must govern and how men govern is often different from the rhetoric they use. time will tell."

Beers for my man!!!!!!!

Jindal/Steele 2013

Nice!! Sounds like a modern day Uncle Tom to me.

Jindal?

I'd still like to know why some (though by no means all or even a majority) have tried to insinuate that everyone who DIDN'T vote for Obama is a racist, even though there was an African-American candidate NOT named Obama in the primaries....

Why? Because he's a black man who thinks for himself and realizes that he doesn't have to play victim role to the morally bankrupt government? You are a fucking piece of shit pal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this isn't a surprise to you, but I know a group of conservative blacks who normally would not vote for someone with the politics of President Obama...

They did vote for him, though, because it was the first time they saw a black man who had a realistic chance of winning...

There are stories about whole black churches...conservative christians...voting for Obama for the same reason...they felt it was the best chance they had in their lifetime of "seeing someone who looks like me in the White House"...

And this is not without precedent...in 1960, Catholics across this country voted for a senator from Massachusetts in record numbers...not because they agreed with John F. Kennedy, but because they finally had a Catholic candidate who had a chance to win and break the protestant stranglehold on the White House...

History, in a way, repeating itself...

And thus is explained the absurdity of politics.

I have no idea what that means. But it IS absurd to vote for somebody who LOOKS like you, rather than somebody who THINKS like you.
