Sen. Frist Unveils GOP Racial Segregation Plan

(2002-12-24) -- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-TN, said today that the Republican Party really believes in racial segregation, and has a plan to implement it.

"First we're going to treat African Americans differently in college admissions," said Sen. Frist. "Then we're going to award government contracts to black-owned companies because of their race, not their abilities."

The Senator said the new plan also calls for training children of poor African Americans to depend on the government for money, food and health care.

"The more we classify them as weaker, less intelligent and incapable of competing in a capitalist society, the more effective our segregation plan will be," he said.

Sen. Frist said the GOP plan will encourage African American "pride" groups, and provide funds for teaching about "cultural" differences in the public schools. The government will help the Rev. Al Sharpton, Minister Louis Farakahn and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, to "get their racially-divisive message out."

The new Senate Majority Leader acknowledged that these ideas might sound new, and untested, "but the lofty goal of racial segregation compels us to try something. If the GOP continues to pursue the present course, history will judge us as the party that allowed Blacks to think they should compete on an equal footing with everyone else...that the American dream is not about race, but about opportunity, personal character and freedom. Is that really the kind of future we want for our grandchildren?"

You hit the nail on the head.

Indeed, sir, you are correct.

And it angers me so much that my customary bloodthirsty humor fails me.

If the GOP continues to pursue the present course, history will judge us as the party that allowed Blacks to think they should compete on an equal footing with everyone else...that the American dream is not about race, but about opportunity, personal character and freedom.

And in the real world, that's one of the reasons I'm a Republican. It is troubling to me that Dr. King's dream of a colorblind society is now considered to be the mark of a bigot. As someone of (decidedly) mixed ěraceî, I donít want to have to whip out a genealogy every time I apply for a job.

That idea has more than a whiff of Nazi Germany to it.

Too close; Senator Lott was willing to do all this and more just to hold onto power a while longer...

In foreign relations, the Republicans have declared that they have decided that Osama bin Laden is not really as bad as they had thought.
"After all", a party spokeseunuch opined, "he did build all those day care centers, bar-b-que restaurants and discos in the third world. If we had only done that, he wouldn't have had to attack us on September 11, 2001."

Late news that bin Laden has been captured by the Sudanese police and offered to the Bush administration for prosecution brought this response: "We don't really think we have the authority to accept him. Millions of Frenchmen have bought a book declaring that the Pentagon attack never happened and the Jews were behind the WTC attack. That's reasonable doubt as far as we're concerned. We need to get on to the real business of the country, like making sure anyone who declares he's been persecuted gets lots of money and nailing down that thirty-five hour week and six weeks of paid vacation thing the French and Germans have been so successful with."

Senator Frist also highlighted an important new platform on the education front: the federal government will seek to fund the re-introduction of "blacks only" drinking fountains to be built within the african-american only dorm buildings found on many of today's colleges and universities.
