• Hat tip: The Scott Wickham Experience

  1. The U.S. is a Constitutional Representative Republic.

  2. The Senate exists to protect the "wishes of the small states" against the "wishes of the big states". Thus Delaware's senators have the same weight as California's.

  The fillibuster is fine. "Secret holds" that prevent the committee from even voting is "undemocratic".

  Let's get down to the basics, senate and house committees are undemocratic. Why should, say, 12 representatives or senators get to decide the bills that make it to the floor or appointees that get a vote? Why should the chairman of a committee, ONE PERSON even get to decide whether or not a bill or appointee gets a chance to face a vote in the committee?

• Hat tip: Booker Rising

  I keep saying that Sharpton is doing more to break the binds of Blacks to Democrats than Black Republicans are doing to break the binds of Blacks to Democrats; and he is.

• Why is it that most "Black conservative" commentary, when the topic is the Black community, is overwhelmingly negative?

• By the reasoning of those who say Blacks shouldn't support the fillibuster because it was used to try to stop civil rights legislation, those who support the Confederate flag shouldn't do so because it was used by anti-civil rights supporters.

  And who are those Confederate flag supporters today?
