“It's weird that a man with "no leadership qualities" can rise to the top of a prestigious ivy league school as well as the Oval Office while being a minority. Wow! What does that say about our nation? Shoot, I bet YOU could be president, too! You should go for it.”

“"That's what the Mad Hatter says, too!"
I am unable to verify that the Mad Hatter was ever quoted as saying that.
Can you provide a source?”

“Do you have anything of substance in the form of a rebuttal, or is nonsense all you've got?
JD happens to be correct.
If you can site a mass-shooting that DID NOT take place in a 'gun free zone', I'm all ears.”

Why Negative Thinking Makes the World a Better Place

“"The experts agree"? Well...we can find an "expert" for anything we want to reinforce. But this post feels a bit sad to me. As if it draws a false dichotomy of Real Despair/Forced Laughter. We do manifest our reality. And when pain comes, we let it wash through us, forcing nothing. But there is such thing as creating and contributing to your own destiny and it does have to do with which way you aim, and what energy you nurture.”

Health Care, Immigrants, and the Character of Our Country

“Thank you. I am not really "religious," but I agree more with the collective voice of these religious leaders and participants than I do with any politician I've ever heard speak on it. Your "framing" and mine are very similar.
We answer every day for our moral cowardice. Pretending it makes sense to let the Other suffer so I can prosper is moral cowardice. And all the posturing about leaving out immigrants as well as the vehement calls to fortify massive borderwalls so we don't have to be inconvenienced by the needs of others...this is moral cowardice as well as an abdication of the duties each human has simply due to their having been given a form that takes up space in this world.”

“So, if people are suffering in Iraq or the Sudan or North Korea or Afghanistan and the only way to stop the suffering is to forcibly depose the dictator-in-charge, are we moral cowards if we don't go over there and do it?”

“I, for one, am sick of lowlives filled with patriotic hate benefiting from the work of my people or sharing my air. Can you please accomodate by picking your own produce and walking around with an oxygen tank and a glass bubble over your face? I'd appreciate it. And that is a fact.”

“Agreed. If only, eh? I don't have cable programming...this hurts me when I miss some soccer or boxing matches...or worldwide events like Olympics that everyone I know, pretty much, is watching. But other than that, it is a blessing. Me and my chosen RSS feeds and movie collection does just fine.”
Corporatists vs. Capitalists
Commented Sep 16, 2009 at 15:30:22 in Politics
“Great post, Cenk. The only issue I have with your writing here, or thinking rather, is this recurring shape of reasoning: "Don't blame the actors in this corrupt system, that's just the way the system has shaped them." Nah...I can't let that go. It excuses a corrupt system. I'd rather note the actors, the corruption, and think and act in ways that consider a new way of being, not a new way of arranging actors within a frame that caters to humans' base behaviors. We dont have to accept greed. I guess in the end, this article smells a bit too Randian for me.
But that's part of the way I see the world, and I see that you profess to be pretty happy, overall, with your view, too. Cool.”

“Obama will be a one term president remembered for his grand rhetoric that was backed up with soggy centrism. I voted for him, and I'm not sorry. But nobody is endeared to this method of his. Not the right, not the left. Who on earth does he hope to rally?”

“"No matter who had behaved like that, regardless of color, ethnicity or gender, it..."
Um. Read. The. Post.
Comparisons to others who "behave like that" WERE made and assessed.
Sounds like you are off and running on a predetermined mission to reach a predetermined conclusion.
CERTAINLY not like the post was describing of the judge, eh? Or would you know...having apparently not read the post so closely?
Yeh.”

“Sorry, Nezua, but I did read post. However, even though the comparisons were made, there were statements that still seemed to try to somehow make it less objectionable that Ms. Williams did it. I also saw the incident. I judged the behavior, not Ms. Williams. I would have felt the SAME way no matter who the athlete was.”

“Racism is not about what is in your heart. Racism is about supporting, through actions or legislation or suppression or manipulation of information, the entrenched inequities in this culture. You really are ambitious, though. As if stating "this is not racist" makes it so. Or as if deeming something "rubbish" does anything at all save make you feel a little better. You get to "Secondly" as if you have made a first point. But all you have done is made an oil and water metaphor and excused yourself of any potential racism...on your own say so.
IT is at this point that the lunacy of rationally responding to your comment uncloaks itself in my mind in the shape of a sudden smile and a click of the "POST" button. Lata.”

“Read a few books. Or live a little. How funny and sad, too, that you hope to rebut such an honest essay that peers directly into not only how a person has failed himself, but in the ugly machinations at play in our society working against the forces of good—with admonitions to watch TV.
It is to laugh.”

“Too bad you don't have the facts. At least your ignorance is intact. But for one tiny hint, were it not for the cheap labor of Mexicans, the US agricultural development that has fed you so well would not exist. Since the days of Porfirio Díaz running rails north and south but not east and west within Mexico, the US's well being has been considered over Mexico's and the US hunger/need for masses of cheap labor waxes and wanes, and workers are pulled in and then shoved out at will. "Thinkers" like yourself, unburdened with facts or a humane view, continue to center yourselves and the US without even realizing that we are all inextricably linked.”

“Immigration and health care reform are not linked. Health care reform benefits all AMERICANS. The type of immigration reform I assume you are talking about only benefits people who committed a criminal act to come into this country.”
