It's the only way to deal with a low-rent propagandist like you Willy, you
don't actually expect me to take you seriously do you son? Glue some
feathers on your ass and you'd be indistinguisable from Foghorn Leghorn.

Sure Falstaff, err, I mean Willy, you're a junkyard dog you are, tough as
nails, they'll have to send a battalion of Marines to dig you out.
Of course if any govt. ever did decide to do this they would choose a means
you'd be helpless to prevent, like a tax on fuel for your land-freighter.
What are you going to do to avoid paying, ride a bike? Now that's a LV
YouTube clip people would pay to see.

That was so slick, almost Byzantine in its cunning. You have no reason to
believe Obama would be in favor of reparations, you couldn't point to a
scrap of valid evidence to show he is, but you'd still love to plant the
suspicioun that he would love to do it if only he could get away with it.
People like you don't have the balls to deal with Obama straight up, so you
have to fall back on innuendo and propaganda and low-budget crap like the
Easterbunny thing. I don't think he's going to beat McCain, but it would be
hilarious if he did, guys like you would walk funny for a month before you
could unclench.

That is as it should be, the whole idea would require such massive legal and
political contortions as to be unworkable. Yes, some black American
organizations continue to chase the idea, they've even had apologies from
companies in business at the time that participated in slavery in some way,
e.g. insurance companies that wrote policies on slaves for their owners.
But going from symbolic gestures like that to payments of cash or land is so
unlikely that it's a bit surprising that even a posturing bargain-basement
demagogue like yourself would try it on for size, Obama must really be
causing you to lose sleep.
