WASHINGTON TIMES COLUMNIST: BLACKS IN CONGRESS ARE COLLECTIVELY GUILTY OF TREASON

Well, how do you read the following passage?

What can African-Americans do to reduce the racial component of the political sphere? They can, for example, convince the black caucus in Congress to be less predictable. Despite the bravery of black soldiers, that caucus is almost always anti-national, anti-military, anti-freedom in foreign policies.

The author is Martin L. Gross, identified as "a former official of the Democratic Party" but better known, once upon a time, as the author of the early-nineties Limbaughnista bestseller The Government Racket.

Here's more:

Black politicians need to enter the mainstream, as have many black citizens. Black voters need to forgo their perceived immediate needs and re-evaluate the national need, which may often be better reflected in the Republican Party. After all, every national poll indicates Americans as a whole believe national security is best reflected by the Republican, rather than the Democratic, Party. Why should African-Americans be any different when it comes to war and peace?

It's a bit like Nicholas Kristof's religion argument: Bible Belt Americans don't believe in evolution and resent those who do, so it's rude -- no, it's an attack on national unity -- to disagree with them. White Americans think Republicans kick more terrorist ass than Democrats, so blacks are guilty of tearing apart the country just by being Democratic.

If that's not what these guys are saying, what the hell are they saying?
