“Great post! My take on it was most smart women forget to have fun and feel with their heart instead of their brain. I teach premarital classes to engaged couples and often find smart partners compete with each other relentlessly and forget to let their heart feel each other out.”

“The theory of Palin being a modern day biblical Esther was floated by fellow evangelicals in last years race and it held no credence. I cannot get over Palin's disdain for communities that do not like like her.”

“anytime you equate SLAVERY to gay marriage - you lose the battle and the war.”

“If Lou is lying, why can't we believe that Lou is lying, seeing that Lou believes all who oppose him oppose justice and liberty for Lou? Ah, Lou cannot be a liar - can he? Should we even mention Lou and lie ... no!”

“This is a very powerful ad - he cannot lie that he was misquoted. Democrats with guts! Keep up the good work and you might just turn around this bond between Repubs and the health insurance companies against patients.”

“All true Christians should rise up and protest racist tinged speeches at the Value Voters summit. Its shocking to me that they'll sit there and listen to some of those rants and turn around and hope to attract more Hispanics to the Republican party and a few blacks. The weirder part of it is that most of the attendees are strong church attenders and clergy who believe in missions - sending missionaries to people who are brown or black, yet sit in a conference mocking them/ innuendo etc.”

“lol!”

“i know what you mean about your waitress friend but I would not be sensitive over someone describing something that's black as black - and I'm black - some do like their coffee black. We should not be that hyper-sensitive, it takes the fun out of living.”

“maybe Beck will get a taste of his own medicine :)”

“very thoughtful article - and i'm breathing a sigh of relief because i started loosing focus on exactly what the President is doing letting the GOP lie about his policies.”

“A really tough issue - there's a need to be humane and not lock up families with their children because they 'look' Latino. The US has a right to keep its borders safe and not allow anyone to crossover without a visa. Law enforcement does not have the right to racially profile Latinos.”

“Great warning that should not be ignored. China is making huge inroads in Africa, investing in infrastructure, technology, textiles, finances, oil revenue and precious metals. If the West considers China an economic threat, they should be willing to compete with her in Africa. Africa is skipping traditional development for example cell phone usage exploded in the continent including satellite phones. Cell technology is also being imported from Asia (Japan) - greatest imports into the continent go through Dubai (United Arab Emirates). Africa is a great investment deal - only the savvy and forward thinking are seeing that and taking advantage. Welcome home!”

“well said, that's why i'm not signing up.”

“Will definitely NOT be signing up. I don't see the need for everyone including friends to be nosy about what articles i like read or comment on. Can you imagine being able to do this when Bush was in power wirh the abuse of the Patriot Act? I'm not saying they don't already track our online activity and snoop/warrantless taps - why give them more? besides i love my lioness avatar - that's what i am - fierce on my opinions and ready to fight for what I believe - just not on huffpost facebook mush-up.”

“Great article calling out Evangelical leaders. Wish Frank would write a similar op-ed in new york times or washington post or even christianity today for a broader audience. the evangelical right will not be reading hp and this piece is too good to go to waste.”

“that's why these type of lo onies flocked to her rallies and yelled de ath to anyone who did not resemble them. seriously - if Obama was not a natural born citizen, Clinton would have bu ried him 60 feet un der. McCain's campaign investigated the claims and found them baseless and yes they would have used them in a heartbeat if it were true!”

“lol!”

“Well said! I agree 100% which is rare - black folks share skin tone and that's about it, there are tons of nuances on ideas, ideologies, values, preferences, tastes and political opinions despite the lumping. Its infuriating when folks say all problems will now be solved because Obama is president, no - they won't. He cannot wave a magic wand even if he wanted to. I also think living here in FL gives me a different perspective, blacks come from all nationalities and some of our values do not fit the stereotype. These diverse black communities have been in existence but the media & politicians need to box them in one area to achieve whatever political or journalistic score they see fit. Case and point, I'm black, born in Africa, fierce supporter of Obama, strong supporter of pro-life issues, lover of R&B and positive hip hop, yet I can sing about 50 tunes from old country timers etc, would be lumped in the independent category and currently can't stand the Republican party though I agree with some of the ideas etc. See? Can't fit into one box.”

“great point!”

“Black women's hair is a sensitive topic - we are professionally expected to wear hair "white" so they will feel comfortable in the workplace and not intimidated. This topic ruffles more feathers than I care to think about. Glad Michelle Obama likes her hair the way it is. My feathers are still ruffled, yes, I am sensitive on the topic and yes I am currently wearing my hair natural and about to do locs. Got tired of relaxing it after 15 years of chemical treatments.”

“I still feel Jon Stewart's idea on the bailout was right on - the money should have been given directly to the people instead of wall street. We would have turned around and spend it thus stimulating the economy. I now hate walking into my bank knowing the corporate headquarters is sitting on millions of dollars that could help common folk.”

“Welcome to Obama winning in 2012 - Bohner & harmony are grasping at straws, you can only try to make folks afraid for so long. People spend the last 8 years afraid of their shadow and concerned that a neighbor had an accent and concerned that they themselves had an accent. Give it up already - that video is one of the most shameless fear mongering ads ever.”

“Wow! I 100% agree with you and love reading your posts. I am a deeply committed christian who is thoroughly disgusted with the Republican party and wholeheartedly worked as a volunteer for Obama.”

“Hugh Jackman was WONDERFUL! Folks like this writer want to think for the common man - us regular folks loved it. It was full of crude jokes, childish pranks or forced humor. Jackman brought back the "gentleman" feel. Loved it - stop hating!”

“Instead of complaining here - lets post comments on the CBS board. He is entitled to his personal opinion but not partisan programming as a VP of communications.”
