who say whatever Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld want them to say like the savvy slaves of the old south who were able to get special favors for themselves at the expense of their fellow slaves?

I have noted that these two are notably silent even when the Bush gang go against issues like Affirmative Action, an issue that should be at the forefront of thinking.They have also been silent when Bush makes his appearances at places like Bob Jones University.

1. Certainly it's easy to paint someone you dislike as a buffalo soldier
But it doesn't matter what their skin color is, everyone makes their own decisions. If they happened to be white, they would probably be where they are now, or at least thinking the way that they do.

I think it is very wrong to say that 'Affirmative Action' should be at the for front of their thought, especially considering neither are secretary of education.

They should think whatever they think, then we will judge their leadership, but we will do it with out the thought of ethnic identity; they are promoting a terrible agenda that is ruinous to the United States of America and the world at large.
