Obama + Warren = Genius
The President Elect made an inspired choice in choosing conservative minister Rick Warren to pray - here's why: Rick Warren is incredibly popular among not only conservative Christians but also moderates as well. In this, he is a fig leaf to the conservative Christian base that are feeling alienated in defeat. Rick Warren, while conservative, is ...

Republicans for Obama are Still Republicans:
''Back in the 1860s, a new kind of 'Know-Nothing' American turned against Lincoln’s Anti-slavery Republican Party because of the Civil War. Instead of thinking seriously about political issues, these people categorically voted against Republicans. And thus, they voted for Democrats.''About Republicans, the Know-Nothing Americans said: 'We ain’t ...

Hitch On Helms like White on Rice
Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

And McCain and Clinton?
Unfortunately, Americans have been polled (Univ of Minn, et al) as distrusting atheists far more than any other minority group -- including Muslims and gays! Any presidential candidate that refuses to pander to this (and, perhaps, add a flag pin for good measure), will win in a landslide if Mr. Hitchens' and my votes are the only ones ...

Men vs Women Dems vs Repubs Black vs White Hitch vs Me
The Black community is expert at tearing down it's Black Men, from children who dis Daddy, to womenfolk who dismiss their menfolk contemptuously, to ''Black on Black'' street violence and Black racism directed not just at Whites, but at other Blacks as well. You can see this everywhere you look in our ''post-Martin Luther King's success'' American ...

Two for one?
Mr. Hitchens' analysis and commentary hit the bulls eye. An extrapolation of his question of getting two for one with the Obama's is valid also for the Clinton's. In Pres. Clinton's first run for the office, it is now clear that Mrs. Clinton was heavily involved to the point of serving as a policy wonk. That was seen in her health care ...

Christopher Hitchens -- Shakedown Artists
Here's how he puts it: ''The thing that this gaggle of cranks and parasites has in common is the extreme deference with which it is treated by the junior senator from Illinois.'' May I respectfully suggest Mr. Hitchens take a page from Senator Obama's book. Christian history, religious history, American history and the story of the opening of ...

Ilk or Actuality?
I have to question the premise of Hitchens' argument. It seems he prefers to remain among those who feel they haven't heard enough renunciation and distancing in Obama's ''handling'' of his ''pastor situation.'' The senator actually demonstrated integrity treating the Rev. Wright and his comments with more seriousness than a mere political ...

Thank You, Mr. Hitchens.
As I have agreed and disagreed with you in equal amounts over the years, I have come to respect your brutal authenticity. In the case of analyzing the disqualifying nature of the Bosnia hallucination, and, more importantly, the larger context which is truly frightening for anyone who values life beyond our borders, your short article is ...

IT AIN'T ABOUT OBAMA: AN AMERICAN DILEMMA
After reading the vitriol spewed by Once again another media appointed journalist darling piles on the heap of crap slung at Blacks across the social economic spectrum within America. It is of course ironic that this son of the British Empire, the most racist and genocidal governance in modern history, would be standing on top his heap of moral ...
