Incidentally, what I don't get is why so many of these teaparty types seem to look back to the past as some sort of tax eldorado? I mean, in 1960s, wasn't the highest tax bracket in its 80%s?
They're looking farther in the past than that, before 1913 to be exact.  Gilded Age was a wonderful time in their minds.

Curious thing is, Berkut really enjoyed banging the race drum back in 2008.  He love to quote Rev. Write.  GOD DAMN AMERICA!  I asked him on this board if he thought Obama was a racist and he said he didn't know.  But that didn't stop him from bring up the Rev Write thing every chance he got.
How the hell is that banging the race drum? :huh:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Would you like some more rat hair with your rancid canned meat?  The funny thing is, there were lots of regulations and tariffs and government involved in business then too.

Obama is a racist.

I think "I don't know" is a pretty reasonable answer.  I don't necessarily think Obama hates white people, but given that he was a community activist for most of his adult life, it's possible that he favors blacks over others.

Do you think it's possible Bush favored whites over others?

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Nah. I think it is sassy black women...especially if they got junk in the trunk.

Fate/Raz rule, remember?

Besides, it was racist to always talk about Rev. Write and completely ignore Father Read and Rabbi 'Rithmatic..

He's tired of all the age jokes, so he's going to ignore half of the forum.

Probably.  Though I bet he was flattered when Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner based a skit on him and made him younger.

Sure, it's possible.  Can't think of any evidence, but it's possible.
