“Just the excerpts from this book are profound. An actual full read probably would change you forever. The problem with eating meat is that there is zero moderation. No Temperance whatsoever. Mass production for profit. The whole question kind of fills you with a feeling of knowing dread. Maybe we are the problem. Maybe the earth would be better off without us: Industrialized civilizations.”

“Interesting, but who and what was President Johnson referring to? I guess the old saying is true: "A lie will run around the world while the truth is still getting it's boots on."”

“Yeah, she's scary. Still, what's scarier is that she and others like her - Beck, Rush, etc - has platform surrounded by eager listeners.”

“Define cult. Then define legitimate Christian organization.”

“So?
Is this about Palin or Christians? It's okay for athletic coaches, motivational speakers, and CEO's to use strong illustrations when making their point, but it is strange when Christians do it? Whatever.”

“Whatever...

Mr. Steele clearly doesn't get it when it comes to the demise of his dinosaur of a party, however, this little clip is itself an insulting form of race bating and sensationalism. As a black person who happens to be an American, am I supposed to be appalled by this? This man displayed his ignorance, but the media insults us and reveals some of the dinosaurs hiding in it's closet when it attempts to play on the very assumptions it itself is making in regards to my people.”

“Who knows? Its sad. We have for years ridiculed him for being an oddity in many ways: from his skin pigment to his facial surgery. What I keep remembering though is that little boy on center stage charming the world. He had so much fame so soon. The world loved him, but Michael learned not to love himself. Why? When you shine that bright everyone wants a piece of you, sometimes literally. Michael was a victim of abuse himself, and he survived it in his own way. Still, stars and celebrities do not the best counsel make. They will never tell you what you need to hear, only what best serves his or her purpose. Micheal's oddities were seen as mysterious eccentricities, rather than signs that someone might need some real help. What he needed was a real friend or two. The day before he died my wife and I out of the blue began telling our daughters (ages 9 & 11) who Micheal Jackson was because they did not know. We showed them who he was in the beginning and who he became. Then we played a few songs for them. They were impressed, yet curious in a cautious sort of way. Even to them he was mysterious in a sad sort of way. The word "why" escaped their lips a few times. It probably the same for all of us.”

“I've never witnessed a senior spank a greenhorn so thoroughly, yet so graciously, in my entire life. It was grace, dignity, and wisdom, vs brute force, malevolence, and folly.”

“Powerfully stated.
As racially charged as this campaign has been, it's quite possible that we haven't seen anything yet.”

“23 - NUMBER OF TIMES OBAMA SAID "I", "I'LL", "I'M" OR "I'VE" DURING HIS VICTORY SPEECH IN ST. PAUL.”

“62 - THE NUMBER OF TIMES HILLARY SAID "I", "I'M", OR "I'LL" DURING HER NON-CONCESSION CONCESSION SPEECH IN NEW YORK.

Pretty eerie.”

“She could write a book about her own campaign, and call it "The Audacity of the Lust For Power." I have never in all of my life witnessed such supreme, reckless, selfishness. And her family is standing beside her, condoning in both word and in silence, her behavior. We the voters, are truly the only ones who can hold her responsible.”

“I agree. But, it didn't have to be this way. The party would be so much stronger right now, if she had dropped the crusade act, and focused on strengthening the democrats chances this fall. Now, their is so much resentment, I'm afraid. Many women seem so bitter about this, and they are blaming Obama for Hillary's defeat. How rational or fair is that? How do you feel about Barack. I would love to read your thoughts. I'm a black American male, so I know there is much I don't understand”

“"As Hillary Clinton gave her non-concession speech in Manhattan last night, it was hard not to feel for her. For Clinton, it's not simply the loss of the nomination that must smart, but also the role her husband played in wrecking her chances of success."

PLEASE! Why can't women hold each other accountable? Hillary lost this race. If anyone can actually have the nerve to suggest that Hillary was not calling the shots in her own campaign, then all you are really saying is that senator Clinton can't run a campaign or make her own decisions, much less be president.

By blaming everyone but Hillary, or minimizing her mistakes, you do all women a disservice by portraying them as vitcims. Hillary is no victim. Senator Clinton, her family, friends, and supporters, should be grateful that the media chose not to dig up the past unless Hillary dug it up first (Bosnia, Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy).”

“I'm sorry, but, Latinos seem to have a Obama problem. I fail to see how Latinos are any different then the voters in West Virginia, or Kentucky. My best friend is from Mexico. We talk for hours at a time about this issue. She concedes that many Latinos, like many whites, have a problem with a black candidate.

Remember Texan Hispanic community leader Adelfa Callejo's, 84, said that Barack Obama would have trouble gaining Latino support because Black politicians have done little for Hispanics and Obama "simply has a problem that he happens to be Black" ?”

“Arianna, I have to disagree with you about the timing. Scott's is not too late; he is right on time. Had he attempted to come forward with this information earlier, we would have doubted it because our stomachs weren't full of war yet. Also, how short is your memory in regards to the fever pitch of patriotism that this entire country was experiencing during the earlier stages of the war/occupation in Iraq? I was living in Rochester, NH. at the time, and I can tell you between all of the American flags, bumper stickers, buring candles on lawns, you did not dare to speak against the "War on Terror" in regards to Iraq for fear of fierce lashings from co-workers, friends, family, and perfect strangers. Can you imagine what type of pressure someone in Scott's position would be under to be the good, red white and blue American, in the Bush administration? When was the last time you had to consider facing Dick Cheney before you made a policy decision? I debated with good christian Americans, who have loved ones in Iraq, who fiercely defended the war, and belittled anyone who used to support it but grew disenchanted with it. Scott could not have timed his "coming out party" more perfectly because for the first time in a long time we are ready to listen.”

“Good point. Nostalgia has caused many of us to forget what the Clintons once stood for: Hope, Change, and a new brand of politics influenced by the youth. They no longer stand for these noble ideals. They are established, Washington, elitist, who will do, say, and deny anything to increase their political collateral.”

“Bull. "Fear of Islam" is just an excuse.”

“No Arianna. Hillary has never held herself accountable, partly because we never demand that she do so, so the voters should shout at her. Everyone with a voice (You) should be shouting at her to stop with the "All or nothing by any means or words necessary" routine.”

“What everrrr. The "Fear of Islam" is just an excuse. Plain and simple.”

“Too the Clintons, this should never have happened. It's all a mistake. We didn't hear her the first time: She is supposed to be the nominee. She is simply playing the waiting game. In enough time, perhaps we will all see the error of our ways, and realize that an Obama presidency really is a fairy tale.”

“She fights on for four reasons: 1 - Her tactics did not leave a path of return that would allow her to bow out and save face at the same time. 2 - She has an image to repair. 3 - There is still hope that Obama could self-destruct. 4- Pride, which everyone knoweth, goes before a fall.”

“Amen.”

“Mr. Andrew,

Thank you for your courages choice. All of us are so tired. The cynicism, negativity, spin, and media agenda, have driven us to to succumb and participate in the madness. Your difficult choice has gone a long way in restoring my faith in America and her leaders. I hope, and pray, that your brave, and discerning statement will inspire Indiana voters as well.

Sincerely,

Peter Harris”
