I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
“…not be judged by the color of their skin.” I think a couple of people are still working on that. Someone should remind Rep. DiSanto what happened the last time she offered her pearls of wisdom on Facebook.
Next, Lynne will remind us that women have successfully ran for office and can now vote, and that a few Catholics have decided to run for the legislature this year too.
I don’t get your point with this post. She is simply saying it would be great to have diversity in the legislature and that it is even better that they are conservatives. You might not like her but why the snarkiness in this post?
It’s more than a bit patronizing.
She said the best part is they are tried and true conservatives (whether or not that is true I cannot say), so I don’t quite understand why it is seen as patronizing.
it was inartfully worded, for sure.
I defended her when nobody else was defending her with regard to her meme controversy.
I defended her when she got in a shouting match.
I find this comment more than patronizing, it is flat out bigotry- upholding or lessening people because of their race.
Her comments sound like she just can’t wait to pet them and cuddle them and tell them how cute they are. Lady, they are people. Not pets.
Republicans don’t play the identity politics game. I’m with MLK. I couldn’t give a rip about someone’s race.
Aren’t we glad that Blacks are now successful in all areas of life…TV commentators, medical professional, law, mechanics, teachers, etc? She is simply saying this is a good thing in SD politics also.
Please stop, Michelle. This is way over your head. Way over.
TJ – Better go back and read who else defended her right to free speech with the BLM meme controversy, you were not alone. What is it with you and your lies.
Again, these are your opinions and interpretations. Many people don’t look through the same prism as you. Some of us read the post similar to the way Springer explained, but we’re domestic extremists so our thoughts are radical and unworthy;)
Thankfully, in the USA, if you are offended you can…move on. In London DiSanto could be arrested because she offended you – aka: a hate crime. God Bless America!!
i would posit that inartful use of the language is the biggest sin the conservative cloister is guilty of, reviewing the last nine or so years, since the first tea party eruption. they ruin themselves.
Being unable to hide one’s racism is not “inartful”
i’ve seen good people wreck themselves because they don’t hear how they sound outside of the echo chamber. i stand by my point. they’re not racist so much as unmindful.
“Well, it sounds to me –- I’m speaking to Theresa May today –- it sounds to me like it would be Russia, based on all of the evidence they have. I don’t know if they’ve come to a conclusion, but she’s calling me today. As you know, now we’re going to the wall, we’re going out to the wall, we’re going to be looking at the prototypes, which is very important for our country. But Theresa May is going to be speaking to me today. It sounds to me like they believe it was Russia and I would certainly take that finding as fact. Yeah, as soon as we get the facts straight, and we’re going to be speaking with the British today. We’re speaking with Theresa May today and, as soon as we get the facts straight, if we agree with them, we will condemn Russia or whoever it may be. But I have not spoken to her. I’ll speak to her sometime today.”
Inartful or incoherent?
i would have to hear/see the clip it was transcribed from to check the accuracy, and review the context. if it was trump answering on the fly as he walked from his helicopter to a building the transcription would read like this, and if it was from a podium the words would be different. i know this because i watch his speeches. there is a whole enterprise in this country which has the single goal of harvesting and repurposing trump audio and video for political warfare so i really don’t take at face value anything like what you have posted here. i would have to find it for myself.
That’s the problem I bet the candidates didn’t take it that way because I didn’t think it when I saw it or now. I wonder why everyone else has to define racism when the ones who were supposedly affected don’t think it. Wow it’s just more bs. No one mentioned yet in any of this whole war college thing how one government program will be cut or one tax eliminated. I dream for the day when politics center around cutting government and taxes. 30 years ago that’s what was important now everything but that is not important but takes up all the newsprint and blogs.
There’s an agenda… but you know that, don’t you;)
Remember that she said, “all lives splatter.”
Well, generally if someone gets hit by a car their body splatters. Don’t play in the road, many people on their phones not paying attention. Also, wear a helmet while riding a bike. Head trauma caused by a car hitting you, even if the vehicle is going 25mph, can cause serious brain damage.
“Head trauma caused by a car hitting you, even if the vehicle is going 25mph, can cause serious brain damage.”
Explains a lot. We need to give out bike helmets for anyone taking out a nominating petition. Probably should put some new bike lanes in Pierre as well.
A few will probably modify their bike helmets with tin foil as to not interrupt their reception.
I hear tin foil also helps prevent being controlled by Jews. A WH Democrat was handing out tin foil since his claims about how Jews control the weather, the world bank and the US federal govt. You must prevent the Jews from invading your mind. Good to have the Democrats helping us out, wouldn’t you agree;)
The Russian trolls must laugh their buttskis off when they mine Lynne’s Facebook page.
Who are the 2 people running in 25 and 35?…maybe we could talk about them and their positions on issues and give us all some name recognition.
This person is dilusional of her role in Pierre.
Example:
1. Told lobbiests that she was one of the most influential members of House.
2. Lied to the media about the verbiage with Rep Johnson.
3. Had her minions accuse Rep Roden of attacking verbally last year.
4. With egg on her face she still tried to play the victim.
While the Pro Temp was standing right there. He is a man of character and would never allow a person to address an another human being in that fashion. He confirmed that none of the verbal “assault” that was said that they endured.
So when do people stop defending her and her scandalous past performance. How many passes do we give the self proclamed “conservatives” that tout the Bible and the 2nd amendment.
I have never witnessed a Christ like manner. Only back stabbing, out right lies, false witness towards neighbors, sociopathic tendencies and truly sinful behavior.
