          The fact is every time a liberal and or progressive encounters the facts on a issue and they have nothing to counter with in facts the begin to call names or untrue sling accusations trying to make people fee bad or self consciousand worry about what others will think.

          Classic example: your a racist, your a homophobes, you hate alien- not we hate ILLEGAL ALIENS, you don't want health care for the poor, elderly, children and minorities.

          These days are over and the gloves are off we want our country returned to us-THE PEOPLE - THE GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US, we want the constitution upheld along with the bill of rights. We don't want lawyers interrupting them any more and take them at face value. Stand strong for our country and don't let other counties tear us down, exploit or black mail us because we don't follow what they say we don't care what others think.

          We are the UNITED STATES DAMN IT or have you all forgotten!!

        the presidents [sic] mother was english

        What is this, a new angle to the birther wackiness? The President's mother was unquestionably an American. More specifically, she was a Kansan. She spoke English, and no doubt better than you write it (haven't you figured out punctuation or the shift key yet?).

      Yeah, it's a real stretch to suggest that some conservative, ill-informed, midwestern, middle-aged white people might be a little bit racist. These people read are dittoheads- they read conservative newsletters and watch Hannity on TV. They've been led to believe this uppity black guy, from Harvard, is not only coming for their money, somehow indirectly through taxes on people who earn more than they do (What's the Matter With Kansas?), but he's also coming for their very existence, in an equally indirect way, by making their Health Care payments more affordable. But you can't blame idiots. You have to blame people like Laura Ingraham, educated people who know better but choose to ignore it because they benefit from the current system. It's the same thing as the mortgage collapse- you can't blame morons for taking on mortgages with adjustable rates. You blame the sadistic, greedy people who knowingly gave mortgages to people they knew didn't understand what the hell an adjustable rate was, or that the short-term low interest rates really lived up to name. Laura Ingraham and her like should be ashamed.

        And its not a stretch to say that any colored person who believes in reparations or affirmative actions aren't racist themselves?

        Cmon, enough with the stereotypes. If you want people to start people more accepting, and changing viewpoints, you need to let them do it on their own - not threaten them and ridicule them. All you're doing is making their viewpoints more valid in their minds.

          First, WE haven't been "colored" for over 40 years!!!!!!

          And do you realize that there would never be a need for " reparations" or "affirmative action" IF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY was available?

        You mean, the polls showing that a majority of Americans approve of the job that Obama is doing? Those polls?

        Anyway, the only time we bring out the "race" card is when people are being, well, racist towards, let's see, our first Latina Supreme Court Justice, or our African American President.

          Oh yes, just like Clarence Thomas. I can understand the fact that you don't want to defend race when you don't agree with their politics - just as recently as that Boxer mishap with the black energy group or whatever it is. But don't try to disguise yourself as a civil rights activist and hater of racism, when you root for the same racial political game from the other stands. I those both are a disgrace.

          You don't see that race card when people are calling anyone who opposes Obamacare a racist? I guess you are not looking very closely.

          Don't you see it every day here at MMFA when some of your good buddies use it daily? I guess you are not looking very closely.

          It is noteworthy also to see that it was G Bush who had very prominent positions for black people in his administration. As Chris Rock once said about the Clinton administration, the only black person in the white house then was Bill Clinton.

          Many a truth is spoken in jest.

            Yeah, real noteworthy:

            Colin Powell - a retired four-star general in the United States Army, 65th United States Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Army Forces Command, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was consistently muzzled, outflanked, and humiliated by the true powers—Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld

            Powell's briefing before the U.N. Security Council—where he attached his personal credibility to claims of Iraqi WMD destroyed his once-considerable standing with the Democrats, our European allies and most of the United Nations, and the media.

            Condi Rice - Natl. Sec. Adv., Rice, stated to the 9/11 Commission that she and President Bush considered the August 6th PDB as just an historical document and commented that this was not considered a domestic warning.

            Sec. of State Condi Rice's focus was on democracy in the greater Middle East, with an emphasis on supporting democratically elected governments. However when Rice was presented with the news that Hamas was about to win in Palestinian elections and even with pleading from Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, to exert United States pressure and postpone the scheduled elections. Rice refused.

            Rice was inept at a multitude of levels, unable to cope, let alone demonstrate even a modicum of palpable intellect or diplomacy.

            Alphonso Jackson - Housing Secretary Jackson, told a group of minority real estate executives how he believed contracts should be awarded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Jackson, recalled, how he once had killed a contract award because the contractor had disparaged his friend President Bush.

            HUD Inspector General, working with the FBI, a federal grand jury in Washington, and prosecutors from the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section on whether Jackson steered business to friends, showing favoritism involving HUD contractors.

            Rod Paige - No Child Left Behind, does not allow students to think critically, solve problems, communicate orally and in writing.

          You act like its a one way street. You know full well there are people of all races who feel they deserve jobs, checks, money, entitlements, etc purely because of their race. I don't much like Laura, as she pretty much just annoys me. But to act like its only white conservatives with these points of views is ridiculous. White elite liberals are the same. Anyone power hungry and doesn't want to defend that power is going to believe they are above and beyond the rest to want to take it.

        make racist comments about President Obama,the First Lady,and black members of crongress.

        She makes comments, while many may be purely unnecessary, and not nice...I don't think its fair to call her a racist.

        Also, lets not get too involved in the "black members of congress". First, they have a black only caucus, so that's bringing it upon themselves from the start. Then, they even backed the nomination of Roland Burris purely based on race...

        I personally don't care what color a person is, its whats on the inside that counts. I am white and am dating a girl who is black for 18 months now. Granted, we don't talk politics with each other, but the "race card" that people use in today's society was invented by politicians - so they are the ones responsible for it, yet they act like they aren't doing it themselves.
