Buffy; I don't recall 'Race' ("those scary black folks"), being mentioned by any pundit for the Republican Party or candidate yet recall several comments by blacks, the Democrats and Obama himself (Grandmother). Even post election, where up to 97% of black voter voted for Obama has been excused as votes for cultural reason.

Exactly what is it, you think needs recreating and why? It can't be the system, its set up for change and been active since the beginning. No one is advocating a return to the 1960's, 1930's, 1860's or any period in time, but do argue what change may be best for the future of this country. Think Nitack, also posted a similar thread ob 'change' but from the conservative angle and he also never offered a specific change.

Wright, as Obama stated in his book was his mentor and reason for turning toward Christianity, its not a minor issue for Americans and that mentor has much to question. Back to Chaney, well he is the VP and very few VP's played to the public media. Bush himself has been on the Limbaugh show, Reagan passed his mantle to Limbaugh (letter years ago) and Limbaugh is an inspiration to millions of people, with a particular slant on traditional, cultural changes that have occurred. Ayers, whatever you think was a BAD person and has been rewarded for some very bad comments over the years. Ms. Palin, is welcome to her opinions, as are you.

Of course, under some name (sexism/racism/envy) many people harbor ill thoughts toward others. We are people and people are products of their living to some point in life. As a Nation, I think we are the best their is in understanding and accepting all differences, political correctness only slowing the process.

My goodness, if we don't have some federal department already in existence for any social need it would surprise me. But IMO, the Federal has already gone well beyond its Constitutional Authority in circumventing (not creating) rights of individuals and/or those delegated to States for reason. Then there is the method for change, though the Congress and Amendments, which has taken on a change by judicial action.

Goldwater also said, "Any government that can give you everything you want, can then also take everything you have" or something like that and yes in his day, very much represented his party. I agree with him, the inherent right to practice any sexual practice you want, with another consenting person (including prostitution) and I think the Evangelical Movement has been slow to change, no different than the Catholic, Muslim and many others and the most important, his right to say whatever he wanted. No one agrees with every issue to any other person. For the record thought he was 85 yo or so in 1994, suffering some form of 'said' dementia.

Buffy, I have no problem with this forum, or any other. As I just told another Administrator (arrogantly dismissing a moderator), I post three or four per day and there are plenty of sites to argue my points. It just so happens, there are some intelligent people here, usually meaning they have established opinions and lack tolerance to those that disagree. You are well versed on some subjects and from California, in the heart of where activism is thriving and of interest to my work. I do feel you are a bit too sarcastic to those trying to state their opinions or argue their points, but then thats who you are.

Do you ever sleep...looks like you posted 2-3AM your time....
