#1 Like the Mainstream Media, FOX News has taken the bait and made the Zimmerman trial a successful media distraction. O'Reilly [and others] have become fixated with race at the expense of legitimate news issues. Just my humble opinion.

#2 Quote used last evening by Congressman Alan West:

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well."
- Booker T. Washington, 1856-1919

#3 The word is "officiousness", Besoeker.

"You NEED my services and you MUST finance my lifestyle to keep me around so you can use them."

The hustlers are merely a small subset of so-called Americans who seek to use flim-flammery or the force of government either directly or by regulation and rent-seeking behavior to coerce others into funding their material worth.

It's the bane of our times. It is the personality type of the race/gender/orientation hustlers. It explains the lobbying and rent-seeking behavior that has exploded over the past forty years.

It is the attitude of 99% of the nonmilitary government employees in this country, at all levels of government - the new clerisy. It is the sole motivation of nearly all public school teachers in this country. It's the main reason (yes, I know there were others) that Obama got reelected.

The race hustlers, the gender hustlers, the whole lot of them are merely reflecting a society wide trend to become their own little corner of the coerced sector instead of being in the voluntary sector. As your quote shows, people like that have always existed. They are sadly in the majority of the electorate now, in various forms and expressions.

#4 Simply put, I don't listen to those folks, and I try not to associate with them.

When Jesse Jackson rallies, you won't find me there.

#5 it does indicate that the plaintiffs (the ICE agents) are likely to win on the merits as only Congress and not the administration can write law.

OR OBAMA EITHER.

#6 I assume we're talking about Bill O'Reilly here. I can't watch him. There was a time when I tried but every time he interviews someone it turns into a shouting match. The result is I can't hear what they're saying because they shout each other down. O'Reilly is a bully and a pompous buffoon who would rather listen to the sound of his own voice than any of his interviewees. Yesterday I saw on Drudge that he is number one among cable news shows. That doesn't say much for people who watch cable news. It's kinda sad, really.

#8 Link's dead.

Good catch, Redneck Jim! But there never was a link, as this was from a private correspondence Besoeker received. Mostly we don't publish those, but every once in a while there is something particularly interesting to this group.
