For example... look at Abe Lincoln. Would he have been elected as President if his lifelong battle with depression had been exposed? If he were running today... probably not. But as it turns out, his depression actually fueled his astonishing success. In my opinion, Lincoln deserves more than just the penny. I wonder how racial tensions would be today if Stephen A. Douglas had won the election, if Obama would even be considered as a presidential candidate? And just for the record, Lincoln was an improbable underdog in 1860.
And haha! I wish him all the luck with the cancer sticks. I think he can do it, too! | Lincoln did get more than the penny. He got the Five dollar bill! LOL! He probably got the penny when it was actually worth something.
Good points, Julie.
Also good to see you and Andrea posting on the Political page.

Good points, Julie.
Also good to see you and Andrea posting on the Political page. | Oh, yeah! Duh! Where is my mind? I've been teaching Daisy how to count her piggy bank... she only has coins. (The big bucks are in her bank account.) And these days I use my bank card for everything... do you know how many germs are on those paper bills!?!?! More so than you would find on a public toilet! But that's another thread altogether...

Racist.
Again, racist isn't necessarily a four letter word.
They may not be hurting anyone. I don't think they are by any means.
If the sole purpose of something is because of race....
black & white (or yellow or whatever), it's racist.
Ebony Magazine....BET......KKK......NAACP.....
all based on race.
Racist.
Let's say I'm starting a WASP Christian Church here in Ocean Springs
White Anglo Saxon Protestants only
.....what do you think folks would say?
I'm not saying that I personally have a problem with any of it.
It's just a fact. |
Calling it that would get you into trouble, but go to most churches and you will see a lot of segregation - by choice, not by force. There are lots of churches that are black only, though I'm sure as christian people they'd welcome white people. The same with a lot of nearly all-white churches. The Vietnamese Martyrs Catholic Church in Biloxi is for Vietnamese people. In all these cases it's probably a cultural thing that causes segregation.  |

And Matt, Obama is not a racist. In fact, I see him as a man of passion and conviction. I've heard some of his speeches and it's nice to see a potential president worth voting for. I've said for awhile that we need a president that has a real vision. Currently, our president is a fool shuffling like a zombie from point to point, reading (somehow) with dead tones from sheets of paper or teleprompters every word that leaves his crooked lips.

Rep Power: 49 | | | Think of all the great slogans Obama could have:
Once you go Barack, you never go back.
You drop the Obama on me, baby.
Vote for Obama, or I'll bitch slap your mama.
