The first night of the convention, one would think it was being held in Africa, with all the black folks running around on the stage. I thought for a moment I was watching the Harlem Globetrotters!
A white congressman from Arizona, named Jim Kolbe, was given a speaking assignment a little before 9:00 PM. You see, Kolbe was the first openly gay member of congress ever to address a Republican convention.
The Texas delegation, however, had different plans. They were prepared to stand and walk out, in protest of Kolbe’s sexual orientation. Having anticipated this, Bush had his own little group of orange-capped (hook ‘em, horns) enforcers who suddenly moved in. Walking out was no longer an option. Instead, the Texas delegation then removed their Stetsons, and began to pray silently, only God knows what for.
Once again, this causes me to pause and question their motives. God knows the Democrats are all over the place, but at least they appear to be willing to judge people for who, rather than what they are.
Anybody recall last June, during the campaign, the night that Barack and Michelle Obama did a little “fist bump” on stage? I do.
One of the endless, mindless (and almost always blonde) Fox News mannequins, this one named E.D. Hill, asked if that were not perhaps, some form of “terrorist fist jab.”
With people of mindsets like this, one hopes that the GOP selected Steele because they thought he was the BEST person for the job!
Anything less is an insult to not only Mr. Steele, but to all Americans.
