A glimpse of the confirmed leftist bent of the Columbian.

The local paper is a completely-in-the-tank organization for the democrats in this state. The democrats obliged that support by slipping in a massive B&O tax cut for this, and other rags, in the midst of a $10 BILLION budget deficit.

Even though the people of this area spoke overwhelmingly in opposition to affirmative action, our paper is as unconcerned about that community value expressed at the polls as they are about seeking our permission to saddle us with a $4 BILLION unneeded and unwanted bridge replacement/loot rail project.

Todays installment has peeked out in the middle of a blh, blah, blah editorial about buying locally. Here's the offending paragraph:

Not unlike the way we should view hiring practices — when all other factors are equal, we should give consideration to a minority candidate — we should view buying practices: When all other factors are equal, we should buy locally.

NO ONE SHOULD EVER BE HIRED BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE (as hiring Obama because he's half black has proven) AND NO ONE SHOULD BE DENIED EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE.

In this idiotic excuse for a paper, the Columbian cannot help but spew this liberal pap as an affirmation of what they are.

Such racism is not welcome here, and is not wanted here. That our local paper advocates a racist policy is yet another reason it should be closed... sooner, rather than later.
