Governor LePage of Maine stands up to the NAACP and dares them to use the race card.
Once upon a time, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people played a pivotal role in pushing for civil rights and equality for blacks during the post slavery era. Today however, the organization has become merely shell of it's former prominence. It has become nothing more then a hyper partisan liberal auxillary, political whore of the Democratic Party disguised as a civil rights organization. Whenever the NAACP would criticize Republicans and conservatives over "illusionary" charges of racism, the republicans rarely if ever fought back. They believed as they do today that by doing so, the NAACP will just come out and use the situation to "validate" it's claim, because it would be painted that republicans and conservatives are "attacking" the NAACP thus blacks in general. Well I read a fascinating story yesterday about the republican governor of Maine Paul LePage not bowing down to the alter of the NAACP in Portland Maine. The NAACP invited Governor LePage to several events and LePage declined. LePage stated that the NACCP is a "special interest" group, and he doesn't deal with special interest groups. As much as the Portland NAACP would love to brand Governor LePage as a republican racist, they can't do it. Governor LePage has an adopted son who happens to be Jamaican.The biggest controversy in this saga in Portland Maine is that Governor LePage told the Portland Maine NAACP that if they don't like his decision, "they can "kiss his ass". I applaud Governor LePage for not allowing himself to be bullied into following the script of the PM NAACP. Of course, this isn't siting well with the NAACP's keen folk in the media. This has now become a national story. I wish I knew why that is. Maybe the media will try and find a connection between Governor LePage and Sarah Palin, who knows. I wonder if Sharpton and Jackson are on stand by? I'm starting to see a small trend forming. Democratic special interest groups are finally being stood up against. Governor Chris Christie is going after the unions in New Jersey and now Governor LePage with the NAACP.

A person who adopts someone of another race surely can't be "racist." Really?? Of course!! A person sworn to uphold the law would never ever break the law. A known killer would never save someones life. And the possibility of a married man with children being a homosexual?? Of course that's totally impossible.
Americans, be they conservative or liberal, would never hide their prejudices...it just doesn't happen...right?
Mind you, I have no idea if LePage is a racist and would never accuse him unless he proved himself to be. Unfortunately for me, I can't read his mind. Yet, some do have that uncanny ability to reach into a persons mind and "prove" to themselves (and others) that the other person is, or is not racist.
BTW Tyrone, it's "Jamaican."
What I don't understand about the NAACP is that some of its members find the the term "colored" offensive. Why do they not change the 'C' in the initial since they are so obsessed at being politically correct?
Anyway, blacks and other minorities today have all the opportunities in the world. So, why are they still around?
Also how does the NAACP, who calls itself a civil right organization, when for a long time (post Civil Rights Movement era) I see them go around and try to destroy the rights and damage the reputations of other people who do not belong within agenda? Ironically, if they're a civil rights organization, why do they have members who are racist.
Gov. LePage, kudos to you for standing up to the NAACP!

What would be the logic of a racist adopting a child of another race allen? Just answer the question. Have you known for a killer who saved another person's life?
p allen "Americans, be they conservative or liberal, would never hide their prejudices...it just doesn't happen...right?"
It must going to snow. You admitted that liberals hold prejudices?!! There just might be hope for you yet allen. Slim but still hope.

You might not, but I'm sure other liberals have already branded him as one.

I caught it, thanks
Wanon "that I don't understand about the NAACP is that some of its members find the the term "colored" offensive. Why do they not change the 'C' in the initial since they are so obsessed at being politically correct?"
It just goes to show how behind the times and how much of a relic the NAACP has become. If a republican or conservatives would ever refer to Obama or any other black person as "colored" all hell would break lose immediately. I don't believe anyone in 2011 refer to blacks as "colored".
anon "if they're a civil rights organization, why do they have members who are racist."
Because the NAACP isn't really a civil rights organization anymore. In many ways they remind me of the Hispanic so called civil rights groups "Casa" Central American Solidarity Association and La Raza "The Race".
CB;"What would be the logic of a racist adopting a child of another race allen? Just answer the question".
Logic? Didn't I just tell you that I can't read minds...
Can you tell me what would be a logical reason for LePage adopting a Jamaican, an Mongolian, a Russian, or an Eskimo? For your sake, and in your mind, is there really a "logical" explanation? Only he [LePage] knows why.
"The human minds adherence to principles of logic offers a serenity that humans rarely experience in full."

CB;"Have you known for a killer who saved another person's life?".
Personally, no. However under any given conditions even a killer can react in a way that you might not expect or believe. But just for the sake of appeasing you, (due to your views and opinions of abortion) I'll give an example that I'm sure will view as an answer to your question. Would you say that Scott Roeder saved lives?
Sorry about the Ravens, I can't believe their receivers 2 times at least dropped crucial passes. I saw that in a Bowl game with the Arkansas Razorback teams but NFL players are suppose to be professionals and get paid the big bucks, otherwise, we could be seeing Baltimore play again next week. Tough luck for Joe Flacco, thought he did okay. Maybe I just see things differently. Disappointing and a tough game for the Ravens.

thanks tsvdp, the Ravens gave the Steelers a belated Christmas gift, because they gave them the opportunity to play in the AFC Championship game. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. It was beyond painful to watch. After the Rice fumble, the wheels just came off. The second half in games have been somewhat of a jinx all season. I know why TJ and Boldin dropped their passes. They haven't received that many catches all year, so they were pretty much out of sync when the time came that they were needed the most. As for right now for one week only, I will become the biggest Patriots fan around just so they can beat the Steelers, because I don't think the Jets can beat the Steelers. The Ravens are on the right track, they need to fine tune their offense, because they have the components in place to have one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. If there is a silver lining, at least the Ravens only lost by a touchdown playing on the road on six days rest as compared to to Atlanta having the best record in the NFL, having a first week bye and then getting slaughtered at home by the Packers.
1. The police officer who sodomized Louima with a stick had a Black fiance. Before the truth came out, she defended him by saying he can't be racist. Ooops.
2. The NAACP responded by saying the meeting was not "Blacks only" and that other non-Blacks were invited and it was for all prisoners. Since public money was being used, it couldn't be exclusive. Ooops x 2.
From Renee, AMEN! HALLELUIA! Finally, a true conservative, ( A white man with some guts) who can finally stand up to these useless left-wing-pressure groups who have spent the last 40 years, dismantling America!
It is time to stop calling all whites racists. Blacks can be as rackist as whites or Asians. The word human means colored man. Hu means colored. The lightest whites are actually pink and the darkest blacks are actualy blue.
The NAACP started off as a good organization, but corruption entered the group. Muslims and marxist entered and caused trouble. WE DeBois was a communist and some were Muslims, lying about being christians.
The NAACP did much good when they
were a civil rights group, but now they are infiltrated with Muslims and Marxist still and Christianity is put on the back burner. Yetr, the black church supported the NAACP along with many Jews who are now apes and pigs to NAACP and Muslims.The churches who supported the NAACP at first are now seen in a bad light.
It was first reported that LePage declined the NAACP invitation because, according to him, the NAACP wanted him to meet with only the black prisoners. The NAACP refutes that claim. The associate commissioner of the Maine Department of Corrections stated that such a request would have been awkward.
Something doesn't add up here.
Why would the governor make such a claim if the NAACP had not advised of a "black only" meeting.
And, why would the governor refuse the invite based on information that was not given to him by the NAACP. Thus that leaves the most pertinent question of why would he tell the NAACP to kiss his butt when there was no provocation from the NAACP. Finally, why would he inject the idea of a "race card" and the idea that his son black simply on an invitation?????
The NAACP seems to have a way of bullying anybody to get things their way. The last thing anyone wants to be called is a racist, especially when they know that they haven't nor condone anything that is racist.
Sometime last year during graduation season, the NAACP claimed that Hallmark had an audio "racist" greeting card when o the characters were congratulating the graduate that he/she has conquered the world and the universe. One of the characters said that "black holes are now omnipotent". Well, the LA Chapter of the NAACP said they heard "Black whore" when it clear as a whistle that it doesn't sound like "Black Whore". They didn't hear "black whore", they chose to hear it. And Hallmark caved into their demands.
It's about time that the Tea Party movement stand up to their claims and when they couldn't provide evidence of any racism. And good for Gov. LePage to tell them to kiss their butt.
