Progressives hate America. Obama promised to fundamentally change the nation. You don't try to fundamentally change something you love. If the progs hate America that much, why don't they go transform the Third World with their socialism? Surely, it will work this time.
F**k the 4th! We need a new flag!" chant protesters as they burn American flag in Washington Square Park in NYC. The Dirty, Unwashed Progressives hate America. Obama promised to fundamentally change the nation. You don't try to fundamentally change something you love.
If the progressives hate America that much, why don't they go transform the Third World with their socialism? They are extremely miserable people.. You want proof? Just look at the Filth who comes out of Shaw's Progressive den!

I would never wish ill health on anyone in spite of the anti-American, globalist garbage that he and the democrats are responsible for.

This new Democrat party is to put it “Mildly” DISGUSTING!. Anybody who doubts that it is should simply study the posting record of the Democrats here or any other forum.

I was a Democrat for decades, but what they have become today disgusts me. If you have ANY doubt about it just take one look at the people in the Progressive Blog! And the proof of what Lester the Filthy Disgusting PIG who belongs in a Pigs Sty with the other SWINE!

When Cracker Barrel unveiled its new logo last week to please the NUTTY LEFT as part of an ongoing brand refresh, it wouldn't have expected the marketing move to spark a public furor and cause the restaurant chain's value to sink by nearly $100 million. You would have thought that they Learned Their Lesson from Bud-Lite, and Aunt Jemima, but NO! They were even to Dumb to do that!

President Trump is doing what the voters wanted him to do!

Keep the Cracker Barrel logo?

...and I thought that Obama was the "Change" president.

Trump is the "change back" president. ;0

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Exactly. Change back to White Supremacy.

Les Carpenter said...

White supremacy as well as ignorance, stupidity, and delusion.

Joe Conservative said...

Racism or Neoracism... you choose the latter form of change. Unlike those like you who would reverse the victims, I choose the Trumpian change that finds all issues of race-nonessential.

Joe Conservative said...

I have a dream... and yet you prefer nightmares.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

I unquestioningly, unwaveringly and categorically reject "neoracism". If it was a real choice endorsed/embraced by the Democratic Party, which it is not. But IF the Democratic Party decided they would discriminate against White People like me, I'd leave the party.

fyi, there is no "trumpian change" that finds all issues of race nonessential. For Turd-2, race is very very essential. Given that donald trump ran on White Supremacy and White grievance, what you claim is completely absurd.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

I have a dream of equality and everyone working together to lift everyone up.

YOU prefer the nightmare of Oligarchy, Fascism, White Supremacy, Patriarchy and Misogyny. To you achieving those goals would be a dream come true.

Joe Conservative said...

Better leave the party. They've been doing it for 60+ years.

...and white people like me don't have to virtue signal their historical guilt/pride 24/7/365 and stupidly believe that they aren't discriminating against me. I KNOW that they are.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Minus: Better leave the party. They've been doing it for 60+ years.

They have been doing that for 0 years. And they never will do that. FYI, you "know" you are being discriminated against in your delusions.

African Americans accounted for approximately 18.5% of the federal civilian workforce as of late 2024, a higher proportion than their share of the U.S. population. This representation has supported a significant Black middle class through stable employment and anti-discrimination practices established in the 1960s and 1970s. Black federal employees are also more highly educated and have longer tenures compared to Black workers overall, with strong representation in administrative and technical roles.

How do you spell "political patronage"?

Les Carpenter said...

Donald the felon Trump.

Joe Conservative said...

...only if you're an AI.

Les Carpenter said...

Only if you're a highly intelligent, compassionate and empathetic person with great clarity.

Leaves you high and dry.

It's a Platonic "Mixed" existence in mine as well. There are no 'pure/ absolute' Nirvanas or Utopias. Those can only be seen as "visions"... as the transcendent 11th Station of the Cross.

Via Copilot...

The blogger’s claim hinges on a provocative interpretation of demographic data, but it doesn’t hold up under scrutiny unless one accepts a deeply cynical—and historically reductive—view of public policy and employment equity.

Let’s unpack this:

🧠 What the Data Actually Shows.

Representation: African Americans made up about 18.5% of the federal civilian workforce in 2024, while comprising roughly 12.6% of the U.S. population.

Historical Context: This overrepresentation is not new. It stems from civil rights-era reforms, particularly executive orders and legislation in the 1960s and 1970s that banned discrimination and promoted equal opportunity in federal hiring.

Job Stability & Education: Black federal employees tend to have higher education levels, longer tenures, and stronger representation in administrative and technical roles than Black workers in the private sector.

🧨 The Blogger’s Claim: “Political Patronage” and “Vote Buying”.

To call this “political patronage” implies:

That federal hiring is being manipulated for partisan gain.

That Black voters are being “bought” with jobs.

This framing ignores:

Merit-based hiring systems governed by the Office of Personnel Management.

The historical struggle for access to stable employment, especially in the face of private-sector discrimination.

The fact that Black federal workers span political affiliations, and employment doesn’t guarantee political loyalty.

🧭 Why the Claim Falls Apart.

Correlation ≠ Causation: High Black representation in federal jobs doesn’t prove intentional vote-buying. It reflects decades of policy aimed at correcting exclusion.

Structural vs. Partisan: These employment patterns are structural outcomes, not partisan handouts. They’ve persisted across Republican and Democratic administrations.

Agency and Autonomy: Suggesting Black voters are “bought” by jobs strips them of political agency and reduces complex civic engagement to transactional behavior.

🪞 What This Really Reveals
The blogger’s framing is less about data and more about weaponizing representation to delegitimize Democratic support among Black Americans. It’s a rhetorical move that:

Pathologizes equity as corruption.

Frames inclusion as manipulation.

And ignores history in favor of partisan grievance.

[End]

What is really going on is that is that black workers are seeking employment in the public (sector over the private sector) because they are discriminated against less in the public sector. Until Turd-2, at least.
