The Back Story:


It's not hard to argue that the last 8 years have been really bad. It is also not hard to argue that McCain's 2000 campaign and message is must better then his 2008. Those two facts along with some recent events beg the questions. Why did McCain not win in 2000, why did he have to change his message? Why Palin? How stupid can she really be now that she thinks she is the future of the party and McCain is a has been? What happened to the republican party, no matter how much of a democrat you are, you have to wonder what happened, it went to the small government not help the small guy as much party to some really scary right wing religious cult. They have gone well beyond Row vs Wade, they do not even believe in Science anymore.

Besides this campaign there has been a growing problem in our country, deliberate ignorance!!! People who are using religion as a venue to breed ignorance, denounce science and intelligence and celebrating ignorance as "American" This Evangelical movement is potentially as dangerous as the radical muslin movement in the middle east. We might be breeding our own Bin Laden. When movements that go unchecked denounce the logic and a major political party is willing to change is core base and platform to feed this ignorance, it will breed intolerance and hurt our country

So why is Obama good for the GOP:

Obama is killing this Campaign, and Palin who must be one of the most ignorant elected officials in recent times is the air apparent of the republican base. When they loose and they realize that the McCain campaign of 2000 would of competed better, and they realize that the party base favors a stupid person, the blood letting will begin. The religious or social conservatives start to be hold in check, and the republican party gets back to its strengths, we can have a good debate again and government can start working again. With the republicans so far to the right and so twisted that they call it main stream, where true main stream is call liberal, no good government can be done with them.

of course education is good, but it has to be in context, religious education is good, just do not call it science

what I meant was the exposuse of education to a wider base of American is good ,in that education is the a way to solve quite a few age old misconceptions that still abound in this country. Ignorance is blind, education dispels those blinders.

yes I agree with that, but be aware of the deliberately ignorant, some choose to not learn because they are scared of the truth

ah a comment from the deliberately ignorant!!!


What you are reading is someone coming to terms with who he is, for someone from several races and back grounds this can be very tough.

So what is he sees himself as more black then white, blacks are American too. The freedom of religion is a right in this country. I get that you are afraid and that fear has made you a racist. The world is not black and white, right or wrong. Nothing you mentioned is of any relevance.

Oh yeah,

Of the three greatest people who stood for the common person and their rights, fought what seemed to be unbeatable and did not do it with violence, none of them where white.
