Ya, too bad there's no Raid for "Prophets", the kind that would it work on the likes of S. Walkington. As it happens, roaches check in, but also get to check out, often with inpunity.

This is an American event, not a partisan political event or a celebration of a political agenda. It is reprehensible for partisans to turn their nose up at collective history, not to mention that it's bad politics.

I was there. And proud to be.

How are things going?

I wouldn't have walked across the street to be there. I didn't even listen to it, i avoided it like the plague. I'm praying that God will convict him of his sins and he will turn from his wicked ways. If he wasn't half black he wouldn't have gotten to first base.

It was awesome. I am glad I went. It was FREEZING but still super fun. It made me wish Mrs. King could have lived just a little longer to see this. As I sat in the freezing cold for the parade after the swearing in, I thought of all the people who died fighting Jim Crow, or just because of the blatant hatred that is an ugly stain on this country's history and I was there for them. I was so proud when I saw the Tuskegee Airmen there (that is where I graduated from as well!!)....knowing they fought for a country that didnt even recognize them as men...and to see one of "us" now leader of the free world. It was awesome.

I know people hate him for his "politics", but all politicians are liars. I personally think the hate toward him is racist, but everyone is entiled to thier opinion.

How is married life!!??

I don't know about hate....

I don't know about feelings being towards him as a person...

But... why on earth would anyone's feelings toward a politician necessarily be racially motivated?

Prejudice.. is to prejudge.

That statement, in and of itself, is prejudiced. It prejudges people who are not fans of Obama to be racist in their reasoning. That... by definition... is a prejudiced statement.
