Her birth name was Nimrata Nikki Randhawa. You learn something new everyday.

if conservative values ever become the mainstream, then we can achieve...

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

In a manner of speaking, yes (it was a flag). She’s a typical Conservative, Inc. “conservative” in many ways. Conserving yesterday’s progressive agenda.

Her calling herself a brown girl sort of caught me off guard too.

His last name is JINDAL. Not Boudreaux. Not Smith. Voters knew of his family background. He was beating Blanco even if his first name had been Saddam Hussein Jindal.

Could her childhood name turn off some Carolina voters...possibly. But I find your comparison to “Bobby” to be faulty.

Yes and no. A few of her biggest donors who just so happen to make their fortune in the hospitality industry told her their financial support was tied to removing, not because they gave a shite in principle about the Confederate Memorial, but the negative press would impact their business, so you know, follow the money.

There were also rumors that Volvo threatened not to pick us if it stayed, but I don’t buy into those rumors because the county tax incentives were so good that the other sites they were considering were not really in the running.

She's Sikh by cultural origin. Sikhs are about 3% of India's population, but are the major source of innovation and engine of business. It's a warrior culture.

No it doesn't. Immigrants have been "Americanizing" their names since the 1800's, you goose.

My last name once had an O' in front but apparently Irish immigrants weren't popular in the Reconstruction South so they dropped it.
