Conge?) \*Sadly, I think his mama probably would be proud of himā€¦ **Luci** : I am not so sure they donā€™t hate America. They seem to have a very narrow view of what and who America is. Sometimes I feel like Tea Partiers and their ilk believe that their childhood Dick and Jane books were non-fiction and that Father Knows Best, Happy Days and Andy Griffith etc were documentaries. ---

I was talking about the [Platinum Angel magic card](http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&q=platinum+angel&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=), responding to what Oak said šŸ˜› Itā€™s ability is that when it is out on the playing field, you canā€™t lose and your opponent canā€™t win.

Congress. In fairness, that particular guy has been [disowned](http://washingtonindependent.com/73385/dale-robertson-is-still-at-it) by the local Tea Party. ---

Afterall, it only says ā€œdisgusting languageā€. šŸ˜› He obviously has corrected whatever was under ā€œNIGGARā€. I can see him at home, clutching his chisel-tip Sharpie. ā€œNigger? Nigger? I can spell darkeys. Maybe I should put darkeys? Nay, they might be confusing it with people who speak Mexican. I guess I could put Aficans. But not all of them were slaves, unfortunately. I guess I could go look it up in my dictionary. Sorry, brain, that was just a little joke. NIGGAR it is.ā€ -Joe [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fellow-liberals-stop-generalizing-about-the-tea-party/536893.md?page=6)
