“President Obama wants everybody in America to go to college,” Santorum said. “What a snob!” He continues with: “Not all folks are gifted the same way. Some people have incredible gifts with their hands.” Yeah, and some people are extremely gifted basket weavers, but there probably aren't a lot of jobs out there for them. Santorum elaborated on his issues with President Obama's edict, that all who want to go to college should be able to afford it, by explaining that there are alterior motives to our president's statement. Santorum suggests that what the president is really after is to turn all of our children in to librals and he proves this by stating some obscure study which concludes that “62 percent of kids who enter college with some sort of faith commitment leave without it.”
So let's deal with both of these issues. First, that everyone does not need to go to college because some are "good with their hands" and secondly, that college influences folks to loose their faith.

President Barack Obama is a Christian. But, better than that, he stands for Christian values. Anyone can call themselves a Christian, but everyone who thumps a Bible and shouts hallelujah is NOT a Christian. Matthew 7:15 warns us to "watch out for false prophets" and further explains that, "by their fruit you will recognize them". In other words judge by actions and results.

This is the tagline of a new non-profit called Un-Fair. This nascent non-profit is endeavoring to lessen racism through education. The Urban Revolution applauds its efforts. It is the tagline, however, that is the impetus for this post.

There was a time when we could depend on the media's news organizations to deliver the facts and the only place we would necessarily have to guard against propaganda was at the movie matinee. If the major organizations weren't doing their jobs, then there was some rogue newspaper man willing to fill in the gap. Thanks to the FCC's deregulation of the industry; independent voices have been silenced by the corporate conglomerates. And to add insult to injury, McCain is threatening to silence you and me through the elimination of Net Neutrality. I think it's time to take back ALL OF THE MEDIA - enough is enough!

"...If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things..." ~ Barack Obama

This campaign is the first campaign that I've paid attention to . And now I understand, how Bush got elected TWICE, and why our country has not marched forward with the vigor that it should. I first blame myself and all of the other cynical, apathetic individuals out there who believe that one white man in a suit is just as good as the next. That couldn't be further from the truth.

But now that I am paying attention I am mystified by the lack of intelligence demonstrated by not just Bush, but too many of the people who are in charge - selected and elected. I'm dismayed and frankly terrified by what I see as extreme disdain and an animosity towards the American people. These talking drones on TV and the politicians that they interview sit there stoically and LIE TO US. The latest LIE that I know the American people are falling for is "The surge is working". Oh Really? Is it?

Over the past 2 weeks the continuous loops of Jeremiah Wright have made me sad, but mostly angry. I knew then what has now been proven is that his words were taken WAY OUT OF CONTEXT. I also knew that when the truth came out, the mainstream media would not cover it at all. Unfortunately, I was right. I am an African American and an Obama supporter and had he rejected and denounced his pastor I would have voted for Clinton if given the opportunity. That's how passionate I was and am. Al Gore writes of the inconvenient truth, but the American inconvenient truth is that America has yet to come to terms with its horrific beginnings. I was going to write more about it but, a gentleman, Tim Wise did the job for me. (please forgive my posting the entire article next time I'll READ the rules and not just skim them :)

Let's revisit the strengths and weaknesses of the 3 major presidential candidates. These are facts, with some opinions on the implications of the facts.

Obama scores "Poor" in legislations that make it out of committee, but Clinton and McCain score "EXTREMELY POOR". hmmm....
