What!?!?!? You can't be seroius.

That entire document, rant, what ever you wanna call it is claiming facts. That all "blacks" will vote for Obama, (like they are too stupid to think for them self) that is the most ridiculous statement I have hear in a long time. To say all women will blindly vote for him too. ALL OF WHICH IS COMPLETELY DISCUSTING STATMENT.

So my point is, this was ment to be a from some one who would know these facts. Clearly they are bogus, but the credibility of every word in there is out the window.

Thanks QS. No surprise there. With the misspelled Barack's, there is no way that was written by someone with a PhD...

i didnt say all the points made were politically correct or even correct in general. I meant i agree with SOME of the points.. not all. I agree, there are some racist and ridiculous remarks in that

I honestly have no clue who Dr. Williams is, and they could have said this was written by whoever poisoned us with the Twilight books and it would have came across the same to me... Odd that they didn't even find the correct author yet though huh?

And calm down a little Jordo, that whole thing is filled with vast generalizations which are NEVER fully accurate. HOWEVER, if you substitute wherever they put "all" with "the vast majority" then it will be more accurately worded.

I wish I could find more people that are less polarized politically.... I have yet to find anybody that isn't 100% for or against Obama. Anybody I've seen voice as for Obama agrees with everything he does as if he's done no wrong, and anyone against Obama never agrees that anything he did was good or even decent. THIS is one of the problems with politics today, hardcore polarity.

Personally, I don't view them as professions of fact but simply as opinions. It's like an editorial. The validity and veracity of each statement can be debated for sure as with all opinions and editorials, there is always another side.

There are absolutely some over generalizations and things that come across as not politically correct but there are some very valid point. Just my opinion.... Don't call me an idiot.

Your right. Got a little excited there, huh?

I would like to mention that I hope that even tho we may disagree on a few topics in this subject..... I will not let that effect are "on-line" relationship/friendship. (as corny as that sounds) I hope we allfeel that way.

Yeah, the political discussions always tend to get heated on here (and anywhere else really) but on any other subsection of the forum it is good as always.

Let me go to the front of that line: I am not a huge fan of his, but he is intelligent, and like everyone who is elected to that job, trying to make the right decisions. However, the entire 'system' has become so convoluted and a self-sustaining juggernaut, that an Einstein/Houdini combo would have a difficult time, imo.

I would like to see people, (of either gender), get elected to Prez and more of the Congress, that have actually done 'work', made the quarterly numbers, sold something, have a trade, etc., as opposed to mostly barristers and up through the rank politicos...

The venom in this country, mostly politically charged, is quite disconcerting, as is the lack of really getting anything 'done' or 'improved', imo.

But, I am neither a Fanboi of Obama, or a hater of him...
GL, mD

PS: back at the CommonSenseRanch, the quantity of drivel/inaccurate and pure BS email 'uncoverings' that float around the web is extraordinary.
And, not defending Obama or Dems, but the majority I get from my uniformed 'conservative' Geezer friends are baseless and moronic...I always ask them who "they would want" as Prez tomorrow; their responses are laughable, and purely emotional and idealistic, imo.
