“Vanessa, I think you nailed one aspect of the problem - most Americans don't have friends or families overseas, so their opinion continues to be shaped within a vacuum. Beck and Limbaugh know this, and they lock their listeners in their ignorance.”

“"A company called the Corrections Corporation of America is on the New York Stock Exchange, which is convenient since that's where all the real crime is happening anyway. The CCA and similar corporations actually lobby Congress for stiffer sentencing laws so they can lock more people up and make more money. That's why America has the world;s largest prison population -- because actually rehabilitating people would have a negative impact on the bottom line."
AMEN TO THAT!!!!! The prison system in this country preys on minorities to keep their revenue flowing. Sick, sick, sick!”

“people blame the pharmaceutical companies for keeping marijuana criminalized, and while that may be partially true, the fact is that the prison system does far more lobbying to keep marijuana laws the way they are then even big pharma does”

Liveblogging the Sotomayor Confirmation Hearing (Day 2)
Commented Jul 14, 2009 at 13:38:36 in Politics
“A white male, who have traditionally, politically, culturally, socially held the utmost positions of power, wouldn't need to. With that said, we people of color are cognizant and value our ethnicity and related experiences for many reasons. We live in a society that has historically marginalized our voices and invalidated our experiences. I'm not speaking for Sotomayor, but from my own experience as a "minority", as a person for color, I complete under the context of the "wise Latina" comment.
What is the big deal? Do the words "wise Latina" threaten the white male structure of power? I hope so. I'm all for deconstructing long held myths that people of color and women are not capable of being wise. It is such a non-issue, and you notice the people who keep bringing this up? Senator Sessions, who's quest for a district court seat was denied due to his outright racism. It's well documented, look it up.”

“Nothing really to explain other than the hypocrisy on the right. They also cry "activist judge" when they don't get things their way. Politics as usual and a sad commentary on politics in the United States.”

Michele Bachmann: "Not All Cultures Are Equal" (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO)
Commented Oct 24, 2008 at 13:53:59 in Home
“She says:
And that's what I had mentioned in my previous response is that America is a great nation, with great values. We are equal opportunity for all. And it's because we all came here and we came together as one. Out of many one. Multi-cultural diversity says out of one many. And if we go with tribalism we will not long be one nation united under God.
Sorry Bachmann, but you are confusing reality with an IDEAL. America is a political ideal, not fully realized. America can tout it's equality for all but that is NOT the reality. You didn't come here as one - you came as colonialists, with slaves, and displaced the indigenous natives. You came here as a TRIBE and you don't want anyone else in your TRIBE.”

“Funny that most of the elitists in Hawaii are actually white mainlanders who have multimillion estates in Hawaii that they visit only once a year. The worst offender that comes to mind is software tycoon John McAfee on the island of Molokai and he is one of many.”

“Sound like a disgruntled native Moana!
Lets parse this out, shall we? These "elitists" visit once a year. So they're probably paying someone (locals I hope) to keep up the property, pay a buttload in property taxes and the have a negligable effect the local infrastructure, n'est pas?
You do realize that most communities would KILL for that situation, right Moana?”
