if the reporters would bother to speak with Scott Davis they would realize he is not a legitimate candidate. Why is he even being mentioned?

That's funny, carpet baggers? What about Mexicans and Israelis who control our government? I'd worry about them before i worried about carpet baggers unless those carpet baggers are jews and mexicans.

Its funny we can say "carpet baggers" but we can't complain about jews and mexicans without getting called vile names.

losing our free speech is Exhibit Number One as to the fact that diversity doesn't work. Carpet Baggers my ass.

I met Scott Davis at a few county party meetings and I know one thing, the guy is passionate about East Nashville and district 5. Scott Davis will be there next councilman, and I'm hearing Hollin will support his candidacy.

Daniel,

If Scott D. spoke to you then all you heard were lies. He is a shyster from the old school, cut from the same cloth as itinerant preachers, travelers, and snake oil salesmen. He will be a perfect replacement for the mendacious Murray.

Accusations and no legitimate facts. I understand you dont think Scott is the best candidate but dont smear the mans name.

Ok, I suppose I could steer you towards enlightenment.

Scott D. owns the Nashville Pride. This "paper" allows you to write your own editorial or news if you pay Scott enough. This is fairly common knowledge among the political class. If you want to reach a certain part of the black demographic in Nashville, then you must simply pay Davis to allow you to write you own propaganda. He will then report it as straight news. This is runs against everything that a true newspaper stands for.

His reputation goes down hill from there.

Annie are you saying that based upon race or religion that some people should not be in government?!?!

That is a highly offensive and wrong statement!

There are a great many Jewish persons and Hispanic Persons who would do an excellent job in government. I am not referring to those who proclaim state socialism as a cure for every ill.

Some of the greatest thought on free markets and economics was done by a Jewish person:

FACT: A persons race does NOT dictate their level of knowledge, wisdom, etc.
Many people of all races are brainwashed, misled, misinformed etc. into believing that state socialism (Big Government) is the only possible answer to any problem.

Its no wonder that so few people believe anything else when most institutions indoctrinate them from youth that a governments duty is to be socialist and to be their mommy and daddy. That is NOT due to race. That is due to people being taught to limit their thinking and being punished or imprisoned for daring to think any other way. There are great thinkers in every culture, some are hard to find because they are actively or passively oppressed and silenced by the majority or by their government.
When an entire system teaches state socialism as 'the only way'
to children for years and years
few there are who will question it regardless of race.
There are just as many state socialist white persons as there are of any other races (look at Europe)

The main reason why the world is in such a mess is sin.
The secondary reason (often caused by the primary) is stupidity and lack of wisdom.
Race has nothing to do with why the world is in such a mess.
Race is just a scapegoat for people who would rather blame someone elses skin color instead of having the courage to look in the mirror and ask 'Am I part of the problem?'

Stupid people are often too concerned with looking for scapegoats and going on witch hunts to be concerned with things like facts or the truth or looking for REAL answers. Stupid people are easily led around by the nose by slick blowhards and talking heads who think for them and tell them to blame a race
or religion for all their woes. Such people hate logic and love emotionalism.
Their rabid patriotic fervor quickly morphs into evil ultranationalism and they
turn into a mobocracy who worships a Hitler or a Stalin as their god.
Thats the problem right there, NOT a persons race but people failing to USE the brains God gave them!

"FACT: A persons race does NOT dictate their level of knowledge, wisdom, etc."

Whereas their politics do, Jack?
Annie is a hoax! A seemingly racist and irrational poster who seems to lampoon most of the political discourse ( yes, some of it mine) blessing this site. Sometimes blatant, often emotional, always irrational; sound familiar?

Jack - could you please explain to me why you think that diversity in government is a good thing?

The United States was once a nation of "One from many" today we are a country of many races with each race pursuing their best interests at the expense of the general welfare. How is that a good thing? Which race's interest should we serve?????

Why did Oprah first enter the political arena when Obama ran for office?

Why do Hispanics support having Sotomayer on the Supreme Court? Is it ok for Sotomayer to belong to La Raza? Would a member of the Klan be allowed on the Court?

What is the difference between Zionism and Nazisim?

The Japanese are experimenting with robotics so they will not have to bring in immigrant labor. Should Japan be made to be diverse? Do Pakistanis have a right to go to Japan for opportunity and a better life?

Israelis are ethnically cleansing Palestinians and committing genocide against them. According to your philosophy that means we should condemn Israel and stop funding it and stop fighting wars for it. Correct?

There are 53 black countries on Earth. If race is not an indication of the level of intelligence and wisdom can you explain why Africa and Asia look so different from the West?

Christianity and Islam are opposites. Much of our government and traditions are based upon Christian beliefs. How do you expect America to be better as a result of Muslims having a voice in our government? Please enlighten me.

I would truly appreciate your help because I do not wish to remain stupid.

Be On the LookOut for a loose cannon operating under the assumed name of "Annie."

You know it crosses my mind that Annie might be an assemblage of 24-hour-a-day FBI agent provocateur team members trying to find someone crazy who actually thinks that way to take down. Sad to say, they likely will, waltzing in Blogland that way.
