“Dim, you just gained a fan. Religion cannot exist without science, but science is based on enough fact to exist on its own!”

“I am no longer a religious dude, but I hope and pray that McCain loses his Senate seat, because wafferlers like McCain are the reason we haven't progressed over the last 30 plus years. Why are we only now having a serious debate on healthcare or taking a firmer stance on Wall Street and the bums who work there. The Maverick McCain and his ilk had the congress for most of Bush's term, and they never once talked about healthcare reform, the only thing that they accomplished was more money for Bush's wars and tax cuts to their rich friends. McCain and politicians like him pretend that they are on the side of the working man, then chooses the side of anyone who can give him enough financial support to keep him in office. I hope folks in Arizona wake up, and let McCain know that America is no country for old me like him!”

“I agree with everything that you have said Mikep, and I think that progressives are tired of what we have gotten from this administration so far, and will come together and make Obama and this Democrat lead congress give us a positive return on the investment we made, when we decided to support Obama.”

“It needs to end!”

“"Is Dobbs Lying again?" Why would you even ask that question, when we all know that Dobbs find it difficult to speak a word, unless it's hurtful or a lie, which in the case of Latinos, it's usually both!”

“I agree with you!”

“I hope he holds firm to his principles and not allow some rich record producer to persuade him with the $$$$ and Da-bling to start making that crappy American music about his cars, hoes, drank and grilles.”

“Society for sure, I never thought much of the media, so I do not expect them to do honest and necessary work.”

“I love Arianna! She's intelligent and direct with every comment that she makes. I sat in front of my television totally amazed at the fact that America's cable news channels were devoting so much time to that story. I cannot believe how "simple minded" the American populace has become.”

“She looks better in Blackface than she does in her own white skin. Sexy and racy are the words I choose to describe the ad!”

“This article reminds me of a quote I came across from Henry Cabot Lodge concerning the different ehtnic groups in America. In 1919 lodge was the leader of the Senate Foreign Relations Committie. While the topic of his speech was not immigration or immigrants, he mentions immigration. He said, "we must not forget that we have in this country millions of people of foriegn birth and parentage. We cannot Americanize them if we are continually thrusting them back into the quarrells and difficulties of the country from which they came to us." he continues, "we shall have a large portion of our people voting not on American questions and not on what concerns the United States, but on the issues which concern foreign countries alone," I am an African American, a US Army Veteran and I am proud of the contributions of my ancestors to this land that we call America and as an American from one of the minority groups, I can understand why the people from different ethnic groups like to speak of the pride they have in their birth countries or their parent birth countries, but I do not understand how any American can find comfort in Chicago having lost the bid for the 2016 Games.”

“People who hate Obama, especially republican people, hate him because they can't sum him up in one sentence or phrase. Bush was easy to figure out. Bush was a play cowboy, who believe that the world's problems could be solved with cowboy tactics, and solutions from the gut, without realizing that the gut is the thing that often causes a man to act in haste, which in most cases only worsens the situation. Obama is a thinker, an observer, who finds it necessary to act only after he's constucted a plan around the facts of an issue, rather than the up and down emotional rollercoaster ride that the gut often provides us with. There are times when the gut provides the needed adrenaline to confront an issue, but when the provisions of the gut are not enough to sustain facts, one must delay his reaction or he risk blowing his chance to correct the problem. I often get upset with Obama, because I think he plays too nicely with his enemies, but he shows himself to be the right man for the job, over and over again.”

“repubicans yell, Democrats discuss!”

“Many if not Most White American are not willing or ready to honestly talk about race in America, and neither is Obama as long as he has to depend on Whites to be re-elected. Obama knows this and his advisors know this to be true. Obama will not openly discuss race, because the majority of problems that still exist with America's racism, starts with the attitudes of Whites towards minorities, especially African Americans.”

“A long time ago in America, Whites decided that a man with President Obama's racial make-up would be called Black, hence 'the one drop rule." Whites are the reason that most bi-racial children have had a dificult time embracing their White heritage, and if you do not agree with me, then answer this question; Why do the majority of bi-racial people in America find it so easy to identify as African American?”

“I am not gay, but I agree with you totally hardcorelib. I was raised in a Christian home in Baton Rouge, LA. My grandfather fought in WW2, my father fought in Vietnam and Korea, my brother and I fought in the Gulf War. My family is African American and my ancestors loved America and served in her wars, even when America did not love them, but I am tired of religious nutjobs pitting us against one another in this country, by attaching their beliefs to patriotism and patriotism to their religions.”

“Wasn't America founded by illegal immigrants?”

“I thought the same thing as I read this piece!”

“it is much easier for Obama to tell Blacks that they must take personal responsibility for the things that they do, which is admirable, but he seems to be reluctant to speak to Whites about what it means to take personal responsibility for ones own actions, because he knows their will be a conservative white backlash like the one he experienced when he decided to give the going back to school speech to all American children or the backlash he experienced from law enforcement after he said that officer Crowley acted "stupidly, when he arrested Professor gates at the professor's own house. The speech he gave to the students was no different than the one he gives to Blacks, whenever he speaks to a Black audience. Bill O'rielly and other conservatives seem to find Obama's speeches on personal responsibility refreshing as long as he's speaking to Blacks and not Whites with such authority. Obama is not crazy, he's confident that Blacks will have his back no matter what, but he can't be so sure about Whites. Maybe Blacks should give his @ss a rude awakening!”

“I don't. She has a beautiful mid-section!!!”

“Thank you for that comment.”

“I agree with you 100% websmith. Obama has ignored the folks who worked phonelines and walked the neighborhoods to secure his place in the White House. He chose to prop up wall street, while main street was falling. He chose to invite angry republicans to the White House for hotdogs and hamburgers to discuss the stimulus, and took the support he had from progressive Dems for granted. He only chose to notice progressives, when it became clear to him that they/we are tired of him appeasing the angry and hateful conservative re[ublicans and blue dog Dems. His desire to bring Americans of all stripes together is admirable, but he is a terrible judge of character, if he thinks he can turn angry, racist conservative republicans into descent people. Until he learns to see republicans for the liars and cheaters that they are, he will fail at everything he attempts for the remainder of his presidency.”

“Great post Mr. Gurvitz. This should be the masterplan for the Dems for the rest of Obama's term! When the republicans kicked Obama in the teeth during the Stimulus debate, I said that Obama should take a page from Bush's book and ignore the minority party often, especially when they take his gentleman like ways for weakness! If obama isn't ready to just roll over the republicans after all the racist and un-American mess they've displayed during this healthcare debate, then he should just get out of our way, because he'' delaying positive progress for all Americans.”

“Oops...com­mented on the wrong story. Those d@mn aliens!”

“LisaLisa, I respect your right to believe as you wish, but your comment is a load of BS. Obama is not addressing the issue at all. As President of all U.S. citizens, it is his duty to address such issues as race, and now would be a great time for him to do it. With the gift of speech that he has been given, he needs to firmly call out each racist congress man or woman and openly say to them and the American people that this will not be tolerated, rather than have Gibbs and other White House Aids downplay the racist comments by stating that they will give idiots like Lynn Jenkins the benefit of the doubt that she didn't mean the comment in the way it came across to 90% of Americans. Obama is afraid of possibly offending White Americans, the way he offended them during that lil' episode with professor Gates and the white officer, who was clearly prejudice, if not racist. Obama is already thinking about his reelection , rather than addressing the truth about the racism coming out of the republican party.”
