“He's not going to fight Shane. He's been ducking him for years. There is no excuse not to fight Manny. I'm sure he is going to get around to it. Thanks.Gordon”

“But he has been ducking Shane for years- so I don't see him in there with Shane. He'll come to terms with the Pac Man.
Thanks.
Gordon”

“Actually, I've never heard Limbaugh say some of the things he is accused of saying. That's the whole point. The things he was accused of saying regarding slavery were never said.”

“The garden variety Christian prays for the death of all of his, and therefor "God's" enemies.

It's hubris.”

“Gandhi was quoted as saying something similar to, "I like your Christ. But I do not like your Christians; they are so unlike your Christ."

History gives us at least one thing to learn from Christs' teachings - do unto others as you would have done unto you. This Golden Rule is being tarnished by all these so-called Christians. Shame.”

“There is a tendency to generalize that can’t be healthy; remember that for every Limpbaugh there will be a Rev. Wright who certainly does not appeal to this 29 years old citizen”

“I'm a working class boomer. And yes, I was a protester. The WWII generation seemed out of touch to us. Partly true; our music and our way of altered consciousness wasn't theirs. Yet I was smart enough to know that "don't trust anyone over 30" was total crap. Seniority does count. Presuming we're talking 30 years of real experience and not 1 year repeated 30 times. But I get what you mean about being treated like an idiot. We working people are supposed to feel a connection with the economic elite because the Republicans trot out Joe the Plumber or Sarah Palin. The same elite which thought we peasants should just keep our place and fund our betters. The bonuses continuing post bailout with neither the Wall Streeters nor their Republican minions seeing any problem. However, millions of us can actually read, write, and think. And may know a few things the economic elite or academics overlook. Class prejudice is a taboo the new administration seems to be aware of. Only when we have respect, have the opportunity for meaningful participation in our own government and economic systems, will this country truly be a democracy.”

“But if it's any comfort, the Republicans talk to ALL of us like we're not intelligent. :)”

“You could. I have a lifelong friend who did it when he became dissattisfied with his careerpath through the Democratic Party.

He has always been a social climber but his ability to put his own selfish interests ahead of his community, has really soured our friendship. His reward for the betrayal: A small chain of filling stations, and a generation of suffering”

“You need to re-read everything you just posted and then look in the mirror and you'll see a racist looking back at you. I don't consider whites who are dems to have sold out and checked their principles at the door. We just don't think alike. And there's nothing wrong with that. You should let Steele have his own convictions and beliefs and just because they don't JIVE with yours, doesn't make him a bad person or wrong. In case you haven't noticed, the blacks that are moving to the conservative side of the isle are the better educated and more productive people in our society and we certainly welcome anyone of their caliber.”

“One thing we have always known is not to judge the book by the cover. Obama is well into his process of proving who he is; Steele has a long ways to go -- and truly, a much bigger job than Obama.

I don't know if Steele is up to it. I don't believe that the Republican base will back him.

I have been wrong before. I'll sit and watch this one play out.”

“You might wish to get on the sidewalk and out of the weeds where Hutchinson resides. I'd suggest you browse his other gems of advice aimed at Obama which proved as idiotic as this one. While Thos. Sowell, that serial black bootlicker extraordinaire is fairly clear in his anomosity towards Obama, Earl here is much more sneaky as he pretends to be the giver of free advice.

I think this is more the final acts of those who made the wrong political calculations trying to find a few bloggers to play nice with them and ignore their fundamental arguments in support of one Hillary Clinton.”

“This is one of those great sound bites that is completely devoid of meaning. Companies who are based and manufacture in America are subject to US tax policy. Companies that pick up and move their operation overseas pay taxes in their new country. If the tax rates are lower in that country, they pay lower taxes, but the implication that the US is giving them a BREAK for moving their operations is misleading at best.”
