Cool Republicans Pick Michael Steele as RNC Chairman

"We can has a Black leaders too!", the Republicants scream.

In the meantime, we see that Uncle Mikey's prediction was 100% on target again, as the Republicans rush to out-Democrat the Democrats.

Michael Steele becomes first black RNC chairman

WASHINGTON – The Republican Party chose the first black national chairman in its history Friday, just shy of three months after the nation elected a Democrat as the first African-American president. The choice marked no less than "the dawn of a new party," declared the new GOP chairman, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele. Republicans chose Steele over four other candidates, including former President George W. Bush's hand-picked GOP chief, who bowed out declaring, "Obviously the winds of change are blowing."

Steele takes the helm of a beleaguered Republican Party that is trying to recover after crushing defeats in November's national elections that gave Democrats control of Congress put Barack Obama in the White House.

GOP delegates erupted in cheers and applause when his victory was announced, but it took six ballots to get there. He'll serve a two-year term.

Steele, an attorney, is a conservative, but he was considered the most moderate of the five candidates running.

He vowed to expand the reach of the party by competing for every group, everywhere.

"We're going to say to friend and foe alike: 'We want you to be a part of us, we want you to with be with us.' And for those who wish to obstruct, get ready to get knocked over," Steele said.

"There is not one inch of ground that we're going to cede to anybody," he added.

"This is the dawn of a new party moving in a new direction with strength and conviction."

Who needs all that stuffy old "conservative values" stuff, anyway?

Face it, stodgy old White dudes. The Republicans don't LIKE being YOUR party. They don't think they can win on your platform of values, so they are going to CHANGE that platform to adapt to the new multicultural America.

You're outta step. Outta touch. Outta time. And as your party drifts away from traditional conservative values that spawn from the greatest lessons of WESTERN CIVILIZATION, you'll have precisely 2 choices:

(1) Embrace the new left-wing Republicrat platform and abandon your values

or,

(2) Realize at last, long last, that the values you want to see retained are in fact White WESTERN values, and nobody much cares about them but White Westerners.

If you don't choose (2) and start banding together to advance the interests of YOUR people, you're going to be sidelined in favor of the new quarterback. He'll get to take the cheerleaders to the drive-in and screw them while you pick pine splinters out of your arse.

Decisions, decisions....
