  • Once again Max demonstrated the "cut and paste" intellectualism so rampant on the Left.

    When asking whether the Republican party was the "White Man's Party" you cut out the part of the response that dealt with reaching out to minorities who have enough self-esteem to not rely on government for their invented "rights" to welfare and governmental subsidies.

    It is a "white man's party" because the liberal democrats have co-opted minorities, then used them as a tool to increase their power. How much have minorities benefited from liberal ideology - not nearly as much as if they had been mainstreamed through Lockean or even Burkean conservativism.

    But, I fully understand that you must work in sound bites for those whose attention span is so limited.

  • Hey Max,

    Great watching your much-edited video. I caught the whole conference on C-SPAN. Interesting difference.

    That "very Pale Black Republican" looks just about the same as our last "Black President"! I wonder where he got that idea?

    BTW, hearing you ask Ann Coulter how many times she was engaged seems more invasive than asking President Clinton about which White House intern is servicing him. Is that also a fair topic now according to The Nation?

    At least Ann knew when to break off the relationship.
