Not very hopeful

Posted: Wednesday, May 21, 2008

On Saturday, Barack Obama said, "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say 'OK.'" Doesn't sound very hopeful.

" I really could give a rip if he is white or black. I would like a black woman for that matter just as long as they stand for the good "ole" fashion
"f a man wont work he wont eat." Nothing is free and for one, the right to put these words on this blog is reasons people fought for. I will no way ever put my burdens on someone esle for advantage sake. Or refute someones beliefs so as long as they dont impose on someone else. When things cross lines of who is right and wrong I dont point fingers and if the ability to speak my mind is possible which it may not be in the future I will. Look at ACLU and tell me do you? have any thing good to say.
If it gets under someones skin thats thier fault. The pulling babies out at 5 months is not something I support and m,ake people pay for it.
It is already a poverty to kill a child so that you may live as you wish. "

" jose...what a... ehemmm...What is this, "With Obama's help we can be 'the dark ghetto in the projects'" nice man...real nice. You are still one of the last hangers on from the old crowd that used to spit and sneer on these boards with nothing but derision and contempt for those that might actually have the audacity to think differently than you. You're a joke, with no objectivity what so ever. You don't have to like Obama, but it is expected of you in this society to not degrade a man by correlating him to the ghettos because of his race. And before you or any of you for that matter claim that I am making a leap here first ask your self if you would have gotten the hateful joke if Obama was white?

My apologies for this off topic post please continue. "
