...whole lotta white people out there yelling at and about the president. they wanna take their country back, they say. they bring guns (ok, a black guy brought one, too) to town hall meetings to "prove a point." they say obama is a socialist, and that's why their scared. i'll be damned if those fuckers know what socialism really is. it seems to be a freaky undertone, if you ask me (which i know you didn't). i'd be disturbed, but i've always believed that most people are choss.

The thing about the moon . . . its not like they load the capsule up with cash and left it up there. Almost all of that money was spent on the Earth. And some of the President's detractors do harbor racist sentiments towards black people. Some don't, of course. But I think it is simplistic and wrong to think that racism isn't "part of the problem."

poorly chosen list of options. the answer is yes and no: some people most likely do, while others probably hate him just because they bought into the fear mongering hype. kind of like how all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are square.

Yep. If you disagree with the president you are a racist, neo-con, right wing conspirator spreading hate and fear. We didn't need the dumbest, literally dumbest, and worst presidents of all time to let us know that, just read that shitty blog

Some people are racist. It's stupid to deny. Others just have different political ideologies which contribute to their detraction. So ez yet so overblown.

Joe Wilson is fo sho a racist, though.

Word. He's the guy who wanted to keep the Confederate flag flying over the SC Capital because it's about "heritage, not hate." Um, right . . . and what are the characteristics and major events associated with that heritage?


Drama sells. Drama gets people to vote against their own best interest (whatever that may be). Happiness never motivated anyone to do anything.
