@Aqua: What the woman really means is every problem like racial strife would be solved if opposition to the leftist political agenda were eliminated. Once a one party state is created the libs will declare racism no longer is a problem as every person who fails to meet their standards for ideological purity will be branded a criminal and denied employment, government benefits or imprisoned.

I can’t imagine a worse example of ethical misconduct than Obama.

@ Mike
I’m trying to get my Master’s degree. For some reason, (read: the school wants more of my money) I have to take a bunch of core classes to qualify for the Master’s program. One of those classes is Ethics. I finished it about 8 weeks ago. I’m doing everything online and we have discussion questions every other week. No matter which group we were discussing that week, she would say there was a solution to the racial stife in our country and his name is Obama. I let it slide once and then I pounced.

@Aqua:So the woman tells YOU should put race aside as she continues to celebrate a racial victory? How typical is that!

@ Aqua

Anyone? Bueller? Didn’t think so. Funny, lefties have a problem with NA’s. I was talking to the black girl one day not long after the election. She said, “finally we have a black president. Finally after all the things black folks have been through we have our president.” I said, I’m half Indian, where’s my president? She got pissy and told me I should be happy for black people and put race aside. Obama would represent all people of color.
So, I guess you have to be a minority to represent everyone. Guess Sonia will take care of all the brothers and sisters on the Rez.

Since Obama seems to be all about firsts, and empathy, and fairness, why didn’t he nominate a Native American to the Supreme Court.

I understand what you’re requesting. The problem is, this is a blog and not a message board forum.

Curt’s started the open thread posts; I wonder if a popular topic might not have comments gathered from several threads and made into its own post? There’s been a number of good comments in the “torture” threads; and each time one gets buried, new commenters on the new thread inevitably retread covered turf and talking point/counter points have to be restated again and again.

Drifting off topic is to be expected on forums. Whither it is because something related that is brought up in the course of the discussion or deliberate to confuse the issue (Especially when you have one group of people bent on changing the subject to avoid the issue.)

I do understand that a thread by one Author could have a much different angle or element of focus than another Author’s. (For example: the issue of torture at Guantanamo Bay and the events of Abu Ghraib are both related, but different cases) All I’m asking is when they are very similar, could Authors please at least consider adding their post as a comment under a pre-existing thread?

I apologize for going off topic. Sometimes I just get annoyed with forum redundancy because it often makes it hard to tell one thread from another or find your way back.
