NAACP makes themselves even more irrelevant

After the embarassment over the Hallmark cards, Today, the NAACP has passed a resolution condemning racism within the Tea Parties. At least they didn't generalize the entire movement!
Other important resolutions by the relevant group:
  1. a resolution “supporting Native Americans” (which one member objected to because Native Americans were “slaveholders”)
  2. a resolution enshrining “DIVERSITY” as the NAACP’s top educational goal (not education?!)
  3. a resolution banning the use of Tasers by police (which one member, a black female police officer, objected to because it would result in a blanket ban that takes away law enforcement alternatives…but whose objection was met with dead silence)
My take on this, if you call fire when there isn't one, you end up in trouble. The same applies to calling racism. The overall message of the Tea Party has always been a smaller and more responsible government, responsible spending, and safeguarding the pillars of our Constitution. If opponents can only restort to namecalling instead of rebutting my philosophical ideology, then I'm more than likely winning the argument.
So look out for these signs to know you're winning a debate.  If your opponent:
  • resorts to  making it personal or namecalling (racism, physical appearance, etc)
  • changes the subject
  • curses
  • will no longer listen after you've presented legitimate data (facts)
Then, there's no reason to continue debate.  The NAACP has just shut themselves out.
