Pat Buchannan...

Pat Buchanan has posted a response to Obama's race speech which is good reading (if only for a laugh). Here is an excerpt:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.

ha ha, that's an argument I haven't heard in a really long time...slavery was good, because it brought you christian salvation! Hell, wasn't that the argument used to justify the inquisition--that bodily harm, if it brought your soul salvation, was not just OK, but good?
