Today's idiot Republican - Sen. Jeff Sessions.

The top Republican involved in the confirmation hearings for President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee says he would prefer his colleagues refrain from calling Sonia Sotomayor a racist.

Sen. Jeff Sessions said Sunday that he would prefer fellow Republicans stop attacking Sotomayor over remarks about her background as a daughter of Puerto Rican parents. Sotomayor in 2001 said her experiences affected her decisions on the bench.

Yeah, that's brilliant strategy when trying to keep someone with rather obvious racist tendencies off the bench - to stop calling them racists.

The Senate Republicans are dead to me.

Much as I'm free to refer to myself by the subject title, Colin Powell is of course free to call himself whatever he wishes, including "a Republican".

But that doesn't change the fact that I'm neither female nor of Scottish ancestry - and that Colin Powell really isn't any more of a Republican than was Arlen Specter.

I concur.

There's really no good single point to excerpt - it's really best to read the whole thing.

... I'm with the former Vice President on this one.

We already have one (ultra-)left party in the United States - it's called the Democrats.  If being more like them were the key to electoral success methinks the Massachusetts GOP wouldn't currently be outnumbered in the MA legislature by something like 9-1 (seriously, Google it).

I thank you for your past service to the country, Mr. Powell.  Now I thank you to STFU.

You probably haven't figured it out yet, but this is your cue to, you know, do something.

You now have, basically, the entire Democrat Party congressional leadership caught in The Big Lie^TM.  Do. Something.

Just about anything would be helpful at this point - and yes, just get past the fact that the MSM is too busy looking for shiny objects to distract the sheeple to care about this.  Do. Something.

I know this is pretty much old news by now, but I just want to go on record as saying that I really didn't find very much wrong with "old" America.

You know, the one that rewarded hard work, that had a moral center, that believed in its own exceptionalism, that believed itself to be - on balance, in spite of its faults - good.

That America. "Old" America.

It's this "new" America that I have problems with.
