Helter Skelter,

That would be one of Hank's points, wouldn't it? that the men who ballyhooed that all men were created equal argued about whether to count slaves as a person or not, assigned them a value of 3/5 and then were content to deny them the vote? I would…

usaexpat,

I think a nuke would have been a terrible idea. We might have gotten bin Laden, but we would have indiscriminately taken many more lives as well while using the very weapons we were expressing concern about elsewhere.

But be that as it may, I'm puzzled as to why…

WhiteHawk,

You use the quotation out of context. It is very clear that Obama was saying that the United States was a great nation and it was great, in part, because the people have the power and the ability to determine what changes we need to make to improve our…

skipthesong,

I didn't think you were calling me a liberal. I call myself a progressive, by the way.

I notice that when you tried again, you still stuck in that word "liberal". What I am saying is that this word is contentious and the excellent point of your post is…

super delegate,

I don't know how well you remember those times, but the Weather Underground was always more bark than bite. There were some truly violent members among them. I think, however, Ayers and Dohrn were always more into blowing up symbols than people. The statements in which they talk…

Zaphod,

You are right about the 100 year quote and I think that fair and honest people on both sides of this issue have said so. Political demagogues, if that is the proper term, exist in both parties and there's plenty of snipping to go around.

I think, however, it…

mosc1,

I'm having a little trouble reconciling your previous post with the current one. In the previous post you seemed to me to be protesting the right of the UN to interfere in international disputes. In this post you hearken back to predecessor organization, the League of Nations, and don't…

skipthesong,

I think I agree with you there, but would have to wait and see how it plays out. I don't see how an Obama/Clinton ticket (or vice-versa) could possibly be a dream ticket. My current imagination has it looking more like a chimera.

skipthesong,

I wish you would use paragraphs. It's difficult for me to follow the flow of your thought.

You seem to be arguing from experience. In regard to that, I can only say that my experience is different from yours. Maybe I just don't know what you're trying to say.…

RomeoRamenII,

You're right. "Judgment" is a much better--i.e. fairer--word.

You choose to judge Obama harshly for his lack of judgment in associating with a University of Chicago professor. You call Ayers an "unrepentant terrorist". I think that's over the top. Might it be the case that you were looking for…
