  • Failure to Admit Blagojevich Appointee to Senate Big Mistake

    Failure to Admit Illinois Governor Blagojevich's Appointee, the eminently qualified and well reputed Roland Burris, to the United States Senate will prove to be a supremely Big Mistake made by the Democratic Senate Leadership and yes, Barack Obama.

  • Democrats in Congress Failed Us All 8 Years

    The Democrats and Democratic Party failed to stand up for what is right for the entire eight years of the Bush / Cheney White House misrule.

  • N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?

  • Still waiting for the "false choice"

    For shame, Slate. Not you, Dahlia. Your point, while not precisely new ground, is a useful and worthy comment on how the Administration has abused the definitions on both sides of this question.

  • Re: Blacks do not need racial harmony or white americans

    Oh, how wrong you are! You are complaining about racism, but you seem a bit racist yourself...against white people. I am black, and I think you are being a bit rude. Just because a few white people on your bus hurt your feelings...that doesn't mean ALL white people are evil. Black people are just as rude to white people...trust me..I'm still in ...
