Another Reason to Vote Republican this Fall

The left wing Democrat who will become chairman of the House Judiciary Committee if his party wins back Congress in November wants to hold full blown congressional hearings on whether the government should pay African Americans reparations for slavery.

Michigan Rep. John Conyers has attracted attention in recent months for his House resolution calling for an impeachment investigation against President Bush.

Conyers states:

"My bill does four things:
• It acknowledges the fundamental injustice and inhumanity of slavery.
• It establishes a commission to study slavery, its subsequent racial and economic discrimination against freed slaves.
• It studies the impact of those forces on today's living African Americans.
• The commission would then make recommendations to Congress on appropriate remedies to redress the harm inflicted on living African Americans."

Yep, that's what we need in this country right now... a circus.

We all remember Conyers as the Congressman from Michigan who used his staff for babysitting and, the last I heard, was facing some sort of ethics investigation. Of course investigating a liberal black congressman is a whole different matter than investigating say... Tom Delay? Don't expect wall-to-wall coverage by the mainstream media.
