- Ivins: Republicans Wake a Sleeping Giant
  Posted by Billbar from Alternet
  Trouble is, they played the card, tried to make every illegal worker in the country a felon and woke up the Sleeping Brown Giant, instead. Who knew all it would take was one softly played, very ugly, very nasty little piece of racial political pandering.

  Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor 36% approval ratings, nor over 2,400 dead U.S. troops in Iraq, nor record high gasoline prices, nor most especially a record high federal budget deficit poised only to get worse can stop these Republicans from their appointed rounds of tax-cuts for America's most affluent...

  Goldwater Republicanism was never a coherent governing philosophy; it was a collection of slogans. George W. Bush is the first president who has really had the opportunity to translate those slogans into actual policy, and it's been an unmitigated disaster.

- Finally, a Washington sex scandal
  Posted by Billbar from Salon
  As the Wall Street Journal is reporting, federal investigators are looking into evidence that two defense contractors implicated in the Duke Cunningham bribery case may have supplied prostitutes for the now-imprisoned Republican congressman. The Journal says the investigators are also trying to determine if the contractors provided other lawmakers or their staffs with the same "free services."

  Since the conservative evangelicals prominent in today's GOP are deeply suspicious of the LDS Church, Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney's religion could cripple him in the Republican presidential primaries.

Democrats May Kick Out Joe Lieberman If He Addresses The Republican National Convention

Addressing the Republican convention would be in the true spirit of "reaching across the aisle"... republicans have been doing it for years and it would be a welcome change.

About time. After the ‘08 elections, we won’t need Joe anymore. If the Republicans can stand him, they can have him.

Think Progress » GOP convention button asks, ‘If Obama is president…will we still call it the W

Americans ARE ready for Obama. He WILL be the next president. His policies will be no great breakthrough. But…his presence in the whitehouse will be.
If you want to fear this guy…fear his politics…NOT his race… OR his church.

And why would an African church in the U.S. not recognise America’s racism? Excluding historical American racial history for a moment, are you forgetting that Africans were not allowed by law to even learn about Christianity until long after reconstruction? Africans were not allowed to read, including the Bible. Even after reconstruction, Africans were barred from attenting White churches until well into the 1970’s. I remember, I was there and have had the experience of being told I was not welcome at an all-White church in NYC. I had to find a "Black" church were I was accepted.
To ignore this history is revisionist and dismissive of the history of traditional Europocentric racism. There is nothing anti-American or anti-White in what this church teaches. The U.S. has a long and sorry history of violent anti-Indigenous and anti-African bias, so it would be foolish to think that the theology of a people subject to such repression would not reflect this history and experience. If White American racism and genocide did not exist in the first place, such ideologies let alone churches would never have developed because their would have been no need. And to suggest that such attitudes and practises have ceased is to callously deny the obvious.

Americans are ready for a black president, but not this one,. He himself is all about skin color. He sat in church for 20 years that was all about race.
