The black magazines are running large articles concerning Steele. What will happen now? Faith ...
Why don't you elaborate a little on what the "black" magazines are running? That link you put up doesn't take us to anything on Steel.
It just takes a person to the web page of the magazine and there is not a single word on Steel on that page. What kind of game are you playing here? Just wanting to put some sort of comment in on the forum page?
Here is a excerpt from the Ebony/Jet.
Michael Steel Named First Black To Lead GOP
In a historic political year, Michael Steele has been elected to chair the Republican National Committee, becoming the first African-American to lead the GOP. The former Maryland lawmaker vows to expand the Republican Party and to regain control of houses of Congress. Actually that's all there is to read and I found that myself by just putting "What does jet magazine think of Steel" in my browser and it took me to http://www.ebonyjet.com/jet/.
Is that the "LARGE article" you want us see? So where are these "large" articles you speak of?
Are you going to guide us to a specific article that comments about Steel? | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 9:20:41 AM | Thanks for typing in the correct website. Of course that is not the article, it is only a blurb. They are not going to post the entire article, then why would you purchase the magazine.
Yes, there are several articles out there on Steele. This is another history breaking moment. Just type in his name. No one is trying to pull wool over anyones eyes. The next statement I am going to make Cotter is going to make you mad.
Black is Back. Once you go black you can't go back! (This statement is intended for Cotter). | |

No one is trying to pull wool over anyones eyes. No one insinuated that. You are the one coming into the thread making statement about "LARGE" articles in "black" magazines about Steel and then when asked ... can't even give a reliable link.
The next statement I am going to make Cotter is going to make you mad. So this is an open statement to let everyone in the thread know that you are purposely flaming me? Why don't you just send a quick note to the moderator while you're at it?
If you are flaming me because you believe I am flaming you ... then you're mistaken.
I am simply asking you to give us a reliable link to go to ... in order to find these supposedly "large" articles you speak of. Without a link, as far as I'm concerned ... you could be pulling that information out of your A**. It's not like it doesn't happen in here all the time.
What in the world is productive about coming into the thread, making such statements (about so-called "large" articles in "black" magazines), then just stating the question ... "What will happen now?" Why don't you tell us what you think will happen?
I've already said what I think is going to happen, but I can summarize a little here. I think there's going to be a revolution ... I think there will be a lot of "white" republicans migrating out of the party ... maybe even form their own party. There are a lot of racists in the republican party ... but that's no secret ... eh?
The next statement I am going to make Cotter is going to make you mad. Black is Back. Once you go black you can't go back! (This statement is intended for Cotter).
Other than trying to incite some sort of inappropriate response from me ... that is. Additionally, I think you put on a nice show by writing such a thing with the intent of angering me.
While it's absolutely none of your business, it might interest you to know that ... I have no idea where you get the idea that I might find something like that offensive.
** ... I have no problem with "black".
** ... My first boyfriend was "black".
** ... I marched in many civil rights marches that usually ended in getting many "blacks" registered to vote.
** ... In the summer of my junior year of high school, I volunteered (along with 11 other teens from all over Columbus, Ohio) to build a complete shower house out of concrete blocks at a summer camp in the Hocking Hills of Ohio that is owned and run by a settlement house in the heart of the "black" district (Innis Avenue) of Columbus, Ohio ... the South Side Settlement house
http://southsidesettlement.org/default.aspx
... and the name of the camp is "Triple S" (just in case you want to question my information).
http://southsidesettlement.org/Camp.aspx
I spent the entire summer there ... working and interacting with the little "black" children attending the camp. Since by then I was a WSI ... I taught many of those little "black" children how to swim as well. I still have contact with all the teens who made up that team and more than half of them are "black".
** ... My 2nd oldest daughter's first husband was "black" ... but she divorced him because he kept getting drunk and abusive ... and it was affecting her military career.
** ... Since becoming a nurse, without exception ... ALL of my employers have been "black".
** ... Since becoming a nurse ... the majority of the people (patients) I have served ... have been "blacks" and my patients dearly love me.
** ... I campaigned and voted for a "black" man ... Barack OBAMA. The one thing I did not do was put signs up in my yard (although I had some and still do have them) and the bumper sticker on my car (that I still have). I didn't do it because the neighbors ... predominantly "WHITE"GOP Rednecks ... would have burned my house and car down.
Soooooo ... "Faith" ... you just flame away. And in the meantime, I think you should be reported to the moderators for it.
OT ...
Now are you going to provide some reliable links about those "large" articles? | |

Who cares if he is Black? If Steele can bring new ideas and perspective, and help return the party to it's conservative traditional roots, I'm all for it.
Ya'll seem awfully fixated on what color the man is for people who claim to not see color. | |

^^^Um...not that you are totally off topic or anything here....so before you call in the moderator, you may want to clean up your own post...just saying...... Huh ... maybe you missed that I am posting about the OT ... Steele and how I feel about it ... it's right there in the middle of my "off topic" post ...
I've already said what I think is going to happen, but I can summarize a little here. I think there's going to be a revolution ... I think there will be a lot of "white" republicans migrating out of the party ... maybe even form their own party. There are a lot of racists in the republican party ... but that's no secret ... eh?
Who cares if he is Black? Don't ask me ... ask "Faith". She's the one who made the inflammatory post ... not me. She's the one who is insinuating that "black" being back ... might somehow make me mad?
What'd she do ... call in the posse? Maybe it's better if others stay out of this one. Unless they want to get involved in the flaming/baiting as well ... eh?
OT ...
I could care less if the man is GREEN.
It doesn't affect my life one way or the other. It doesn't change how the WHITE racist Rednecks in my neighborhood are going to treat anyone who they even suspect voted for a BLACK man. They are so bold these days they don't even bother to put on their WHITE hoods.
The GOP racist Rednecks are not going to like the selection. I don't look for them to be all too pleased about it at all. | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 7:17:48 PM | Oh yes, I missed the part that was on topic sandwhiched in between your beratement of the other poster, and no, she didn't call in reinforcements, I read your post for myself, and thought it was bullying.
For someone whose life is not affected, you seem awfully affected by it.
Too bad you bought a house, seems like living with all those redneck racists is rubbing off on ya! You may need to sell!
Ot: I think too much is being made of the fact that the man is black, who cares?
Of course, I'm from California, and we tend to be more color blind than many southerners. | |

| Steele new leader of the RNC, how do you feel about that? Limbaugh most influential republican?
Posted: 2/15/2009 7:31:52 PM |
I read your post for myself, and thought it was bullying. I see ... the fact that she openly posted something with the intent of "making me mad" ... that's appropriate? She even announced it ... that's appropriate? Uh huh ...
Too bad you bought a house ... Yuppers ... you hit that nail straight on the head.
The house is for sale and I'm hoping that a "good ole boy GOP Redneck Hillbilly" will buy it right up.
... seems like living with all those redneck racists is rubbing off on ya! Nah ... let's just say that I'm learning to adapt and now know how to deal with their anencephalic ways.
It really doesn't affect my life any which way ... I still have enough friends where I live that no one will harm me. But a "good ole boy GOP Redneck Hillbilly" will probably fit better here than me.
My house was up for sale long before we elected our most recent president ... I just want to be back up north where I don't have to deal with these "good ole boy GOP Redneck Hillbilly" idiots day in and day out.
I guess it helps that I will be able to earn 1/3 more up there than down here ... and that my house will only run me 2/3 of what it cost me down here. I do hope with all my heart that this stimulus package will get those "good ole boy GOP Redneck Hillbilly" people out and buying!!!!!
OT ...
I don't see anything happening except that the GOP is gonna go major splitsville on this one ... that's gonna be funnier than Hell.
TO THE POST BELOW ...
I'm not saying it was appropriate, I merely said your post was bullying. Do two wrongs make a right in your world? I didn't bully anyone.
I took the opportunity to let her know how it was that I am in no way, shape, or form threatened by "black" being back ... which (BTW) was truly her insinuation ... which was truly meant as an insult.
... and you find a new job quickly, living that American dream! I've already got a job up north ... it's just a matter of selling the house down here.
My previous employers have already made it clear that I'm welcome back in the ranks as soon as I can get back up there ... | |

Well, I'll be glad for you when you are able to move, it seems that you are being eaten alive with bitterness and anger. Here's hoping it sells quick, and you find a new job quickly, living that American dream!
ot: I'm willing to bet your are wrong about Steele, I don't think it will have a major impact at all. | |
|
| Steele new leader of the RNC, how do you feel about that? Limbaugh most influential republican?
Posted: 2/15/2009 8:25:24 PM | I think I agree with Cotter on this one and I think that this will have a huge impact on dividing the Republican Party even more than it already is.
There is a reason why all of those Southern Democrats jumped ship, and I think what you'll find is thata play like this will play very similar tot he way the Sarah Palin play worked against John McCain. I don't know how intelligent Steele is, but if he screws up, even just once, he is going to be ripped apart like Palin was.
I would imagine that both Obama and now Steele are going to be under great pressure to perform. I would suggest that they carry not only the hope of their party, but their entire race on their shoulders. I would hypothesize that if Obama can not fix the economy in 6 months to a year or if things go further south, that it will be another 232 years before we have another black president. | |

Posted: 2/16/2009 6:59:58 AM | hmm? well it seems the color black,- seems to be dominating peoples minds.
Kind of silly really, nothing new about the color,but only where we are finding it.
Kind of a novelty I suppose, like all the different color of M&M's, this will pass in time.
For now, we have to accept all this excitement with some bewilderment.
That it wasn't until recent history, 1964 in fact, that blacks truly had the rights to vote makes it an exciting time for them and I'd not wish to steal their thunder.
As for this appointment of Steele on the part of the GOP? I see it as just another attempt on the part of a failing party to mix things up, reaching out attempting to keep their heads above water. The GOP uses "front" people , they are attempting to sell an image and hide the contents. Bush, Palin? no different. They find it more attractive to sell what people are buying.
What they failed to understand is, Obama won the election in spite of being black. In fact, Obama didn't win as so much as their man, McSame, the "Maverick" lost.
GOP leadership holds tight the image that they are very bright due to shear size of their toy box, for they and have much, it only them that got all the good ideas. They control the nation by proxy, with an army of bankers, insurance men and industrialist.
So like a box of Wheaties, Steele got his face on the box.
What Jim Crow thinks about this???? I never thought the GOP was smart myself.
I've not been impressed with their words or deeds for some time now.
I only read Jet when I,m in Jail and someone has thrown up on the Yellow pages.
But I can understand the black communities excitement, that something we'll just have to contend with, it'll fade with time.
and far as all this talk about - going black and never going back , that just knee jerk talk.
The last black lady friend I had, I truly enjoyed, but that sniffing heroin and constant bad moods in the morning I grew tired of quickly. However the nights were great!
It's has little to do with color unless that's all you see.
Obama sets a higher standard for black people to aspire to, which I find great need for.
That Obama is black is a shear coincidence, but Steele? That's shear GOP packaging. Buy it for the box or the surprise inside.

Posted: 2/16/2009 8:52:21 AM | Rush L. is abrasive and intriguing. I've not spent enough time listening to him in the past to formulate a current opinion much more than this but I am looking forward to finding time to see if he's changed, improved, or is still as controversial as he once was. He is influential and there is something I feel quite strongly about; Rush Limbaugh is not boring.
well I don't find anything intriguing, since he's been figured out and exposed for what he is, Kitten but I could see how you might.
I would say more abrasive and inflaming. Rush is like Howard Sterns is , a "Shock Jock"
and like the same people that enjoy Stern's raw ugliness. There is a following out there that likes Rush's ugliness. There is nothing he wont say, no place too low he won't go.
I like to call these people the tractor pull crowd or pro wrestling crowd. It's the spectacle of it all, mix in a lot of hate, anger, sexism, racism, and unhealthy heaping portion of christian zealotry and hyporcrisy and you have just describe so 200,000 Rush fans.
there is a reason he's not on TV , it's -failing- sponsorship , 200,000 is not a drop in the bucket but a loud , angry 200,000 on the phone is hard to ignore.
I get tickled with these southern Sentor's as they defend there positions on National TV. With their deep , rich southern accent, I hear in the back ground the music of "dualing banjo's" and I think about the consituents this man is forced to represent. The State poor as a church mouse and they defending the GOP !! My my! What a sad state of affairs we have here!

Black is Back. Once you go black you can't go back!
'Black' is 'back'? Where did Black go? And, why 'can't' you go back? What are you talking about? Color me confused...
If Steele is good for the Party, then good on him. If he is simply a Black figurehead, then shame on the Republicans and shame on him.
Our government and our well-being should never be about who can set up the popular-at-the-moment puppet as team leader. I could not care any less about what color or religion they are. | |

No wait ... it means that now the Repugnicans have a "black" RNC ... they will always have a "black"one?
No wait ... a ("black") friend just called and I asked what it meant and they said it means "Once you've been with a black man (sexually) you never want to go back to a white man!"
LMAO ... I guess we'll have to start a thread in "Sex & Dating" to find out what "Faith" really meant by that?

Posted: 2/16/2009 7:11:01 PM | or once you go back you'll never go black.
it's all in fun and has no meaning, jive talk, styling and profiling ,"mouthing" what I call it.
The air is full of such, phrases to attempt to hit a hot button, get a knee jerk reacting.
Like "tax and spend" ? what does that mean? what's the options? tax and save? for the GOP maybe Tax Credits and ? Whine? or Giv'mecrats, I think that came out of the 60's , LBJ carried JFK's programs forward, The democrats perhaps deserve that one, LBJ was did one hell of a job, little too good. but that was 40 years ago, you can stop with the Givmecrats now. That' issue has resolved and today we gave another.
tired ideas and tired slogans.

Posted: 2/17/2009 2:42:04 AM | Steele? A Joke , Rush? A A**HOLE. so there you go.
But i have a better question , what is conservatism? And if some throws in religion i have to tell you this Jesus and God are more liberal than i am . So there you go what is a conservative.
Here are some of the phrases from the bible to back me up.
1, It is easier for a camelo to walk through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to walk through the gates of heaven.
2, Give unto ceasar what is ceasar and give unto God what is God.
3, He who is without sin let him cast the first stone.
4 Blessed are the meek for tehy shall inherit the earth.
5, I am my brothers keeper.
So now i ask you what is a conservative? | |
|
| Steele new leader of the RNC, how do you feel about that? Limbaugh most influential republican?
Posted: 2/17/2009 7:30:02 AM | I'm not sure that I wish to go down that road with you my friend.
For many reasons, while I understand your direction and intent.
The bible held so dear by many is subject to interpertion.
You'll find yourself starting a fight instead of ending one.
It is factions of far right that use these very same early teaching to supply the wind under the GOP's wings , using the faithful to launch their attacks on things we hold most dear.
If we were to start attacking their ideas of "holyness" I think you'd find yourself way off track, with everyone very annoyed and failing to come to any solution but only added fuel to the fire.
I'm not sure if the party of Linclon knows who and what they are today , so why or how might I possible describe them? They remind me of the German people after WWII, in some disbelief and claiming, it didn't happen and I know nothing of this.
I know nothing of this Steele, I wish him well, he too has a big job in front of him.
I've learned to be leary of GOP intentions for years of passed experiences.
I loved the movie,"Oh brother , where art thou" it's setting in the deep south during Governors election time in 1934. The incumbent was at witts end with his rival, who had a small migget that always campaigned with him, quite an novelity was the little man. It was suggested to the governor that he get a migget too! I just can't help for feeling , this is Steele appoinment is no different from the little migget.
and ofcoarse , that not fair to the "Steele"
Jim Cater offered some criticisim to the Bush Administration and the Bush Administration countered back, Jim Cater was not relevent.
Well is seems that the chicken have come home, for now , it is the GOP that finds itself "not relevent."
They need new leadership, is Steele this leadership or just another front, pitch man.

So now i ask you what is a conservative? Instead of taking this thread off topic (it's supposed to be about Steele and the RNC), you could start your own thread with your question ... eh?
So far from what I have read in here and seen on TV about Steele ... he's nothing but the GOP's African American answer to the election of OBAMA.
The GOP is gonna upset a lot of WHITE members of their party ... mainly the "Southern Dixiecrats" and then the racist Rednecks that hail from the areas like the one I live in that are scattered all over the US.
They are ruthless, crude, loud, rude, gun-toting, rebel-flag-flying, mostly uneducated, Redneck, good ole boys. They hang out in their Hill Billy Haven neighborhoods and they are so bold about their racism these days that they don't even bother any more to put on their white hoods.
They are not gonna have any tolerance for having a "black" man at the head of the RNC. I anticipate the party is going to split over that. | |

| Steele new leader of the RNC, how do you feel about that? Limbaugh most influential republican?
Posted: 2/17/2009 7:51:17 AM | 5, I am my brothers keeper.
Agreed with everything posted--but had to correct this.
Cain did not say he was his brother's keeper--when God asked where Abel was, Cain responded with, "...am I my brother's keeper?", meaning that he supposedly did not know where Abel was and, furthermore, he was not responsible for Abel.
It is still a pertinent point, though--we DO know where our brothers/sisters are to be found--many are living on the streets in our cities and towns. Still others are our friends/family members/neighbors who have lost their jobs, or are in peril of same.
Are we responsible for them? Not in the sense that we must bring them into our homes--though that would be true to Jesus's example--and Buddha, for that matter.
It is my opinion that if we cannot or will not take action to assist those in need, it is imperative that we get out of the way of those who will, and not hinder their attempts.
Lest you think that I am off-topic: Steele is going to be compared to Obama as the Republican Messiah--will he act in the country's best interest, or will he simply be a Black figurehead? If he has any integrity, Michael Steele will understand, as does Barack Obama, that we are, indeed, all brothers (sisters), and that what befalls one of us, impacts all of us.
I would not want to be Michael Steele. God bless him. | |

Posted: 3/3/2009 6:40:41 AM | And as always...the libs here have missed the simple and oh-so obvious point about Rush.....first and foremost.......primed and ready.....he is an on-air radio personality first.
You may all think he is our "flagship" of sorts but even we know.....he is an on-air radio guy first.
Choose the word "entertainer" if you like......he is that first.
Choose the words "public figure" if you like.....he is that first.
Choose the "[fill in the blank]" if you like.....he is that first.
But his idealogy,while conservative in nature,is not all of us.But he does give us the libs responses to enjoy as well.....and a lot of you are a lot more hick than a lot of us.

What I've seen on the news in the last few days was: Michael Steele tried to say that Rush Limbaugh is NOT the head of the Republican Party, Saint Rush quickly slapped down the RNC's token Black Conservative, who then came crawling back to Saint Rush for forgiveness.
Limbaugh may not be actually running the Republican National Committee, but Steele isn't either. It's going to take someone with a much tougher character to put Saint Rush in his place; until then, yes, the virtual head of the Republican Party is a fat bigot radio show host with an addiction to pain pills. | |

Posted: 3/5/2009 8:36:03 PM | I admit I don't know much about Steele, but he seems like a sincere, honest, honorable guy- qualities Limbaugh has never had. It's like watching a champion Doberman being ripped to shreds by the local junkyard mutt.
If the Republican Party is going to rebuild, Limbaugh and his lunatic fringe followers have to be contained. I don't think Steele is ruthless enough for that, and that's what's going to be necessary. | |
