Explain to me how, because maybe I cannot see the light since I have actively made a choice to click on this thread to observe your logic?

I take that you choose to engage me. LOL.

Easily amused.

This is an old article/argument that bears revisiting because it largely fell on deaf ears: http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/...2/162434.shtml

Exactly.

For some reason, the null hypothesis has become "the Democratic Party is the party best aligned with minority rights" when I would posit 'other' views (such as pandering and inaction) seem just as relevant to the discussion.

Which seems like, y'know, the opposite of burying my head in the sand.

Such critical analysis of the Democratic Party (and any type of liberalism and left wing stuff) is illegal in 50 states and that's part of the reason any critiques of Obama will be illegal in 50 states.

Fall 2008 could mean prior to November 4th... All news media outlets thought one thing over another.

And you know more than I that the American historical memory is less than ~1-2 years, might I say <3 months... Whatever any {your favorite media} outlet says in popular at the time. Last I read, Rupert Murdock is losing money on his network...

As for this media outlet, Newsmax, their copyright date still says 2008. No media outlet has a laging website, it is just bad for business. And they do not have an "About Us" which causes me to question the legitimacy and integrity as an "informed reader" of their journalism, opposed to a Blog... Meaning they distort aspects of the truth.

But, I am not a journalist nor do I want to be, that is what my Soror Steel does as well as a few others. They can honestly give an assessment.

But it looks like the article is more fearmongering, during the time of the 2004 presidential election. So what there is a collective groupthink in the 2004 election and 2008 one for this matter.

Shit, should I be ashamed of my vote for Obama simply because he was Black? I don't give a shit, really. I made a choice, and I acted on it. So what? My candidate I wanted won. All else is haterade, in my book...

And if some {insert race here} kid tells me he voted for McLame 'cuz he's white, then hey, more power to them. They made a choice too, and his candidate lost.

Can we just move on please? If we disagree with President Obama's policies prior to voting on them, then that is one thing. But after the legal vote, we move forward to enact them into law, barring justice and constitutional issues... And President Obama's focus was Constitutional Law--so I seriously doubt he'd overtly ignore the US Constitution...

Your choice, not mine. Sorry you are too lazy to read it for the engagement of a post. I just chose to respond to you and you are lucky you even get that...

And I will take you with me...

I was asked today how this election will shape party loyalty. I think it unfortunately solidified it.
