Racism is generally defined as actions, practices, or beliefs that reflect the racial worldview: the ideology that humans are divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called "races". This ideology entails the belief that members of a race share a set of characteristic traits, abilities, or qualities, that traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural behavioral characteristics are inherited, and that this inheritance means that races can be ranked as innately superior or inferior to others.[1][2][3]
The exact definition of racism is controversial both because there is little scholarly agreement about the meaning of the concept "race", and because there is also little agreement about what does and doesn't constitute discrimination.[4] Some definitions would have it that any assumption that a person's behavior would be influenced by their racial categorization is racist, regardless of whether the action is intentionally harmful or pejorative. Other definitions only include consciously malignant forms of discrimination.[5] Among the questions about how to define racism are the question of whether to include forms of discrimination that are unintentional, such as making assumptions about preferences or abilities of others based on racial stereotypes, whether to include symbolic or institutionalized forms of discrimination such as the circulation of ethnic stereotypes through the media, and whether to include the socio-political dynamics of social stratification that sometimes have a racial component. Some definitions of racism also include discriminatory behaviors and beliefs based on cultural, national, ethnic, caste, or religious stereotypes.[3][6]
Racism and racial discrimination are often used to describe discrimination on an ethnic or cultural basis, independent of whether these differences are described as racial. According to the United Nations convention, there is no distinction between the terms racial discrimination and ethnic discrimination, and superiority based on racial differentiation is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust and dangerous, and that there is no justification for racial discrimination, in theory or in practice, anywhere.[
Lets hope this freak gets lots and lots of votes! So far he refuses to endorse republicans, leaving his delusional flock to hopefully vote for him and take away republican votes, soooooo RON PAUL 2012!
Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul has been named one of the most corrupt members of Congress in a new report from the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
The report says Paul "double-billed" his travel expenses a number of times over the last decade, meaning he may have been reimbursed for the same flights both under his official allowance as congressman, and by either non-profit groups under his control or his campaign committee.
The revelation would be ironic in part because Paul made fiscal responsibility a central tenet of his 2012 presidential campaign. The congressman celebrated a major victory in July when his bill to audit the Federal Reserve for greater transparency passed the House.

Obama 2012?
2012 will be Obama's final year in the White House.
At age 80, Nancy Lack may not seem like the civil disobedience type. But when she saw posters of Barack Obama adorned with a Hitler mustache, she yanked them down, not caring that it would land her in trouble. "My generation went through the Second World War," she reasoned, "and Nazism is about the worst there can be. I just got very angry that they would do that to Obama's image." Supporters of perennial fringe candidate and conspiracy maven Lyndon LaRouche had posted the signs, and one followed Lack as she put them in her car. Now she's been arrested and charged with sixth-degree larceny. "I guess I deserved it," she said

@Region Philbis,
Who is "they"?
If you mean the US Constitution, you are correct.
A person may only serve 8 years as president, with 1 narrow exception to that law.
Sorry if that bothers you, but that's the way it is.
As he was trashing and lying about President Obama he was out screwing another woman at a religious conference with a wife and 5 kids at home. Good ol Christian conservatives
Prominent conservative author and Obama critic Dinesh D'Souza has resigned from the from the presidency of The King's College, an evangelical Christian liberal arts school based in Manhattan, the college's board of trustees announced Thursday.
The sudden departure comes after days of controversy over accusations of marital infidelity against D'Souza, who reportedly attended a recent event on Christian values with a woman who was not his his wife of 20 years and shared a hotel room with her. (The story of D'Souza's relationship to a woman, Denise Odie Joseph II, was first reported by WORLD magazine).
Andy Mills, chairman of the college's board of trustees, made the announcement on Thursday afternoon to students, faculty and staff.
"God has a mighty future for Dinesh, but there are some things he has to go through first," Mills said, according to the Empire State Tribune, a student newspaper at the college. "I have to admit, I got a bit over-enamored with him," said Mills, who emphasized to students that much of the college's funding does not come from D'Souza's high-profile connections. Mills will take over as interim president, a position he has twice held before.
That pretty much says it all. Don't you idiot right wing nut cases realize that that dirt path leading off to the right is gonna get schmucked right quick by the twister.
Why would you want another asshole like Bush who will murder hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions more innocents? Don't y'all ever tire of the carnage you heap upon the poor of the world?
