“We’re a nation of laws. We don’t let individuals make their own decisions about how the laws operate. He broke the law.”

So says President Obama. I'll give you 3 guesses as to the identity of the person he was speaking about

George W. Bush?.... nope

Dick Cheney?.... nope, one more try

Donald Rumsfeld.... nope sorry

and its not Colin Powell, Condaleeza Rice, Paul Wolfiwitz, Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, Ari Fleischer etc... nope, none of those people

So the House debated the Afghanistan war Wednesday, most of the liberal blogosphere didn't seem to notice. That can be forgiven, after all, there were much more important things to be worried about like who Eric Massa groped, and when.

However, for those who missed it, Dennis Kucinich, the do nothing, non sane, purity troll, congressman from Ohio introduced legislation that would have brought all troops in Afghanistan home by the end of 2010, single handedly forcing the first debate on the House floor about the US led occupation since it began.

Yes, apparently in the wake of the Fort Hood shootings the military brass has seen fit to throw a knee jerk fit at even the slightest hint of frustration expressed by our men/women in uniform.

if instead of speaking about a Black guy, Harry Reid had been talking about a Jewish guy, and had been reported to have said the following.

Reid privately stated that he believed Mr. Goldman was a good candidate because he is a "straight nosed" Jewish American "with no Yidish dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

I think most would agree that those words would be totally offensive, my question is how is it not the EXACT same thing when applied to a Black guy, and why are so called liberals defending it?

In an absolute disgusting display of poor taste, token Fox News liberal Juan Williams insults First Lady Michelle Obama.

You were waiting for it and you finally got it. Obama has opened his eyes and felt the outrage of so many in the progressive (anti bigotry) community and he's finally spoken out in "fierce" terms.

I'm pouring over the recently released transcript now, here are a few gems direct from Obama's mouth

Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it's on the campaign stump or in the pulpit.

In the wake of the passage of Proposition 8 I've seen many diaries and blogs that have tried to put into perspective what it means exactly. I'v seen diaries that discuss the role of Black voters disproportionatly high support of prop 8 and the varying reasons for such support, diaries lashing out at various religious groups (LDS) whose members not only voted overwhelmingly for prop 8, but actually raised millions of dollars to ensure its passage.

Predictibly there has been lots of anger, hurt feelings, and frustration over Prop 8 (almost all of it justified IMO). Anger directed (rightly) at so called social conservatives who wholeheartedly endorse discrimination and bigotry being enshrined into law in constitution of every state in the union. The usual players are taking the brunt of this frustration (Huckabee, Robertson, Dobson et al)

Back in August when Barack Obama and John Mccain sat down with this moron for a so called "Faith Forum" on politics I knew the consequences were not going to be good. I knew that Barack Obama, by virtue of sitting down with Warren (while not being in a position to challenge Warren's hateful views) would send the absolute wrong message to many Democrats, liberals in general, and gay Americans. I knew some would get the wrong impression of Warren, they would look at him and his 'aw shucks', 'Happy Days-esque', Hawaiian shirt wearin, easy goin demeanor and think to themselves "Hey this guy ain't so bad".

December 7, 2007 Pat Buchanan made an apperance on the political roundtable talkshow "The McLauglin Group", the topic at hand, Mitt Romney's Mormonism via a speech on faith and politics that Romney had recently given. You may remember commentator Lawrence O'Donnell caused a firestorm of controversy when he gave his opinion Romney's speech and his views on the Mormon church. This led to an interesting exchange between O'Donnell and Buchannan on the show..

In last nights CNN Democratic debate, Barack Obama dismissed the idea that Blacks are losing jobs/wages because employers would rather hire illegal immigrants (who have no worker protection) than African Americans. He called it scapegoating.

In a posting on her blog a couple of days ago that you might have missed, Taylor Marsh ask the question; Who Is Injecting Race? Citing a speech that Barack Obama gave in front of a mostly African American audience

"They're trying to bamboozle you. It's the same old okie-doke. Y'all know about okie doke, right? ... They try to bamboozle you. Hoodwink ya. Try to hoodwink ya. Alright, I'm having too much fun here. ... " - Barack Obama

Those are the classic words of Malcolm X.

"You've been hoodwinked. You've been had. You've been took. You've been led astray, led amok. You’ve been bamboozled." - Malcolm X

Mind you, Barack Obama is a devout Christian, which Malcolm X was not. But why isn't Barack Obama's speech, which he touts on his presidential website, being used as exhibit A, not only for using words that reach out to his community, but also as an example of how he's using race whenever he can and when it suits his needs and benefits his candidacy? Mind you, there's nothing wrong with using all you have in your arsenal. But there is no coverage of this speech anywhere today.

you know, for a guy who talks so much about bringing America together and ending the petty divisiveness in our country, he doesn't seem to be able to walk the walk himself.

In response to viral e-mail attacks claiming that he's secretly a Muslim, Senator Obama seems to be jumping through hoops to reasure hate mongering idiots that he is infact a Christian.
