i'm disappointed in obama for siding with the pundits and not his faith.

this guy's political understanding is informed by the reagan years, when whitey sat on his hands while aids become a crippling problem among the black community, a time when drug laws started to become characterized by incredibly harsh mandatory minimums and restrictive post-felony penalties, a time when welfare and social safety programs were slashed, a time when crack diverged in legal understanding from cocaine in a way that is obviously racially motivated

yes but fighting the man and running for president are two very different battles. remember if this was the case then al sharpton would have been the first black pres.

I always thought it was becuase in the 60s and 70s when there was war against communism, anyone who was called a liberal was said to be associated with the DAMN COMMIES.

oh yeah. i have always wondered why in america it is perfectly acceptable to call yourself CONSERVATIVE, however calling yourself LIBERAL is almost as bad as calling yourself GAY or something. there is a pretty inherent bias towards anything on the left, be it crazy pastors or politicians!

Where do you live man?  Because in my part of the country that is definitely not true at all.  I haven't lived in that many places though so I can totally see a true paradigm shift in other states (in WI and MN especially it's pretty much just as unacceptable to admit to being a Republican and most conversatives have stopped identifying as such in recent years (however it's also perfectly fine to be Gay as long as you are within an hour of any of the cities)).

in the Washington times, for example, references to conservative values outnumber references to liberal values by almost 7-to-1. In the Washington Post, the ratio is 4-to-1-a bit less skewed, but still dramatically favoring the conservative view of things.

dude, genetic engineering has be around for a long time to modify DNA and produce medicines (and bio warfare). I'm not sayin they did this, god help us if they did, but I would say they certaintly have the technology.

People still don't know exactly where AIDs originates from, the African monkey theory is still a theory. Kind of weird considering the first outbreak of AIDS was from gay men in New York.
