According to the left, if you're not one of them, then you're automatically a racist.

The President who first proposed and promoted the idea of Medicare???
The typical flow chart for racism (at least to the liberals on this forum) runs something like this:
Are you white
Yes -- then yes, you're a racist.
No -- then yes, you are a racist, but probably only against members of your own race, but not against members of other races.
That concludes the chart.

Only your hairdresser knows for sure.
Alan Keyes? A political leader?
Allen West? A political leader?
Artur Davis? A political leader?
Herman Cain? A political leader?
Your list appears to simply be one of Republican black men, save JFK and Reagan...and Condi, of course. The fact that so few of the listed folks are actually "political leaders" makes me a bit doubtful of your honesty in that list.
Ed Brook? Hmmm...There is an Ed Brooks of Wisconsin...and an Ed Brooke of Massachusetts. The WI Brooks is a state legislator. The MA one was a US Senator. Neither were "political leaders".

Ya dont say.
Hmmmmm, then I must assume they were/are plumbers, or perhaps something else?
What in your mind is a "political leader"?

As defined by the Thesaurus,
Noun 1. political leader - a person active in party politics
another stupid post from philby.
if you'd look only at the character of the black men you've listed, you'd find several wanting. makes me think you only picked them because of the color of their skin.
granted, there's slim pickings when you look for black leaders in the GOP, but why not Colin Powell or Condi Rice?
neither of them claimed Congress was filled with commies.
neither of them are certifiable.

The only one that I know that wants to destroy medicare, and he will, is Pres Obama.

Did JFK propose Medicare as a "voucher system"???
No...they were politicians.
As to what is a leader? Well...certainly not Alan Keyes. A "leader" needs to be in the front...in the lead, as it were. A politician is not to be confused with a "political leader". Reagan led the conservative movement...largely because he lied to you all about it, as he raised taxes, increased debt, traded arms for hostages...and gave us "free" health care and tax breaks for the poor you all now denigrate.
Keyes is a loser that has no followers and never began or led a movement. He never has been an important political figure. That he appears on your list as both a favorite...and as a political leader is beyond belief to me. But hey...if that's the way you see it...then so be it.

No, no...I'm sure fxstc idolizes John Kennedy.....and supports him when he said-
We have all made mistakes. But Dante tells us that divine
justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins
of the warm-hearted on different scales. Better the
occasional faults of a party living in the spirit of
charity than the consistent omissions of a party
frozen in the ice of its own indifference.
---John F. Kennedy, 1960
Mr. Nixon, in the last seven days, has called me an
economic ignoramus, a Pied Piper, and all the rest.
I've just confined myself to calling him a Republician,
but he says that is getting low.
---John F. Kennedy, 11-5-1960
The Republican nominee-to-be, of course, is
also a young man. But his approach is as
old as McKinley. His party is the party of
the past. His speeches are generalities
from Poor Richard's Almanac. Their platform,
made up of left-over Democratic planks,
has the courage of our old convictions.
Their pledge is a pledge to the status quo
and today there can be no status quo.

So, you are saying JFK was a bad president?
When Kennedy was shot, I wept with the rest of the nation.
In my mind, at the time, America was lost.
The soul of JFK went with the soul of this country, and yes, in my mind the greatest President that ever lived
Sorry, thats just how I feel
