  • Re: McCain/Palin and George Wallace

    A friend of mine sent me this speech excerpt. The speaker is identified at the end: ''Certainly I am a candidate for President of the United States.If the left-wingers do not think I am serious--let them consider this.I am going to take our fight to the people--the court of public opinion--where truth and common sense will eventually prevail.At ...

  • Why is the left vested in racism?

    Instead of seeking truth, the question an indoctrinated leftist asks, ''Am I offended?'' Economic variability across ''race'' is the major offence. Being offended makes the leftist a ''victim.'' Once the leftist has declared himself, herself or someone else a victim, then through Marxist reasoning, a victim can disregard rational thought and ...

  • Sorry, but I don't agree

    Donna: We don't talk about the morality of universal health care, quality education for all, or a living wage. More importantly, we don't even talk about how they benefit all Americans, not just the working poor. As a friend says, ''You have to meet people where they are and bring them along.'' We refuse to do that. Obama hasn't done it and he ...

  • 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 ...

  • Can Israel Survive 4 Another 60 years?

    You forget nother ''categories'' of Jewish people who don't care...or wish they didn't have to..... Israel is, after all, a FOREIGN COUNTRY, if one does not live there. I know, I know....everyone in the USA has an ''old country''....so why not be proud of Israel being your ''old country'' if you are Jewish? One good reason is, there is no other ...

  • 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 ...

  • 46 Percent (%)

    This is the percentage of voters that believes superdelegates should support a nominee based on the elected delegate count. 30 Percent believe that superdelegates should support a nominee based on which one has the best chance of winning. While Obama followers would like ''everybody else'' to believe that HE has the best chance of winning, ...

  • This is a cheap way to call ferraro a racist. Her opinion

    I have to say that this article is just a run around blah blah trying to pin ferraro as a racist and label her in a group with Don Imus and people who lynched blacks? Ferraro made a comment about race, does this make her a racist? The fact of the matter is race exists and their is long history of racism in the world. So does this mean if a ...

  • And with supporters like these Obama lost to Clinton

    Obama has strived to steer clear of this sort of ''bogus cries of racism'' that has turned the word into a mockery of its former meaning. He personally has declared Ferraro is not a racist in his opinion. His strategy was to leave the ''racial issues'' in the hands of others to deal with, and turn into a campaign advantage. Unfortunately for ...

  • Massahs

    While I personally lean toward Obama among Dems, I think Hillary’s remark about LBJ moving MLK’s work into legislation is spot on and is not the least bit disrespectful of MLK or any other civil rights icon. For black Americans' own sake, their visible political image has to abandon its silly and racist notion that civil rights or anything else ...
