democracy is the worst form of government, with the possible exception of all other forms of government. kind of a catch 22. But luckily McKinney is no longer a congressperson. |

| conus | This is what happens in systems that allow the public to decide who governs. You wind up with Cynthia McKinney , George W. Bush and Hamas. |

Did you hear the Black Panther asshole at her rally? He was saying how the Jews sabotaged her. http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/20...-in-black.html |

She's scrappy. This is the second time this has happened to her. The guy they ran against her is a good candidate, and she is crazy. |

Cynthia McKinney is no longer a congressperson This probably falls on the radar for a few of you. Living in Atlanta, it's closer for me. Politically, I am divided on the issue: My idealistic side says this is a win for better government... she was ineffectual and a general embarassment for the South... but my cynical side will miss her service as a black eye for the Democrats that so obviously need more loud-mouthed idiots like her as spokeswomen. Either way, I don't live in the fourth, so I have only a third-person interest. Sociologically, however, I find this development much more interesting. Despite being endorsed by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the NAACP, she was defeated. I can't help but wonder if this isn't a sign that Atlanta is growing up just a bit, shedding it's culture-wave of race-baiting and institutionalized victimhood that Cindy and her family so effectively rode for several decades. Maybe I'm a bound-for-eternal-disappointment-optimist, but I'm always looking for signs that the post MLKjr era is finally beginning to end for the African-American community. I hope this is one of those signs. I hope this is another baby-step toward real freedom for the segment of our population that has managed to enslave themselves for so long after it was illegal for anyone else to do so. |
