Obama '08?

The right is grounded in the interstate commerce provision.

Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel, 1993: The American health care industry is one of the largest and fastest growing segments of the American economy, and it has the most direct and crucial impact on the lives of all Americans. Spiralling health care costs and inequities in the provision of health care services have an immediate and massive effect on the national economy and thus upon interstate commerce. As a result Congress unquestionably possesses the power "to deal directly and specifically" with health care in order to obtain "social, health [and] economic advantages" for the American people.

I had death in my family last Sunday, when you wrote your reply. I still don't know what you are talking about! Don't care, okay? There's more to my life
than your musings on Bush/Cheney and their BlackWater friends.

I don't much care is Barack Obama has 3 eyes in his head. People like you would have disliked/hated/envied/really jealous/viciously attacked him, no matter if he was Jesus, come back to earth!

People like you suffer from OJ-itis! OJ is believed to have killed his wife. If you ask people who look like OJ this question, they say NO! If you ask someone with a Eurocentric background, they shout, YES! Not going to go into the Tiger Woods scandal because the only crime committed was one of infidelity. Happens ALL the time. Ask Jon & Kate, plus 8. Divorce was final, yesterday. Jon has no millions to give to Kate though. The "nanny" Tiger married was a nobody when he married her, but she sure is blond, huh?

Now, Pres. Obama, can't get a match from another smoker! All you see is someone that wants to "take over" YOUR country, as you "tea-baggers" call it. Go take a look at the man in the mirror. "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change"!

I haven't posted because unfortunately a relative passed away on 12/13. She was in a nursing home for almost 2 years dying from a debilitating disease. She would have been married 50 years on Christmas Eve. She had retired from NYC as an accountant for over 20 years, successfully raised her 2 children and had 2 grandchildren.

Do me a favor, learn to spell my name correctly. I was nicknamed "Teeny" by my older sister, when I was brought home from the hospital back in 1944, while my father was fighting for Democracy in Italy during WWII. Too bad, Democracy wasn't offered to him upon his return.

Politics isn't what I'm all about either. Like Martin Luther King, I was out on the battlefield for equal rights at the age of 20. Trying to right the wrongs committed upon generations before me and the peculiar way politicians are still trying to keep me and my people under control, the way the American Indians still are.

I am a woman, wife and mother. My career with AT&T spanned over 20 years also and its' paid off too, in the form of a well earned pension. When someone identifies as a "conservative", I instantly see it as coded language for the segregationists ways of Southern politicians or the so-called "moderates" of the East and Northern states. No matter, I find what some aspire to as a "way of life" for the haves and the have-nots need not apply.
A permanent "underclass" like that of Olde England, India and undeveloped nations. Just remember, I may be small but I am like a Mighty Wind!
Learn how to spell.

You go too far. Anyone, regardless of color, who believes OJ was innocent is a total fool. The first jury was racist.

The Clinton administration's opinion was wrong!

The federal power "to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes" DOES NOT INCLUDE the power to provide health care insurance to individual residents of the USA.

An amendment to the Constitution is required to grant the federal government the power to provide health care insurance to individual residents of the USA..

I go too far? You don't know your history, do you? The jury was racist? The trial was in Simi Valley. Give me a break! Google racism in America and you'll see who is racist. Do me a favor, look in the mirror!You're pathetic!

She also thinks Bill Clinton and every Amercan president (probably even Obama) is secretly working to keep black people addicted to drugs.

She actually said this, and meant it.

A lot of blacks did, this does not make her unusual. This blurring of the lines between reality and fantasy is not confined to the black community however, so don't get too high on your horse. White fantasies believed to be real are different, but no less scary.

Democracy matters : winning the fight against imperialism


From Dr. Cornel West, Princeton University

Praised by the New York Times for his "ferocious moral vision," Cornel West returns to the analysis of what he calls the arrested development of democracy with a masterful diagnosis. Pointing to the rise of three antidemocratic dogmas that are rendering the energy of American democracy impotent"a callous free-market fundamentalism, an aggressive militarism, and an insidious authoritarianism"West argues that racism and imperial bullying have gone hand in hand in our country’s inexorable drive toward world dominance, including our current militaristic excesses. This impassioned and empowering call for the revitalization of America’s democracy, by one of our most distinctive and compelling social critics, will reshape the raging national debate about America’s role in today’s troubled world.

Dr. West is a Historian and considered an expert on Racism in America.

Cornell West is a Racist crackpot, an expert in stirring the pot but not in anything else.

that sounds like Dick Cheney to perfection...does that mean that he is a liberal now?

i'm certainly envious of icancut&paste's ability to, well cut and paste

You are wrong. The first trial was in LA, and the jury was virtually all black.

Despite the fact that OJ's blood was found at the scene of the crime, and that his and both victims' blood was found in his Bronco and leading into his home, the jury thought this was a police set-up. How in the hell could they manage that?

@teenyboone,
You are wrong.

And this is what Wikipedia had to say:
The O. J. Simpson murder case (People v. Simpson) has been described as the most publicized criminal trial in American history,[1] in which O. J. Simpson, a former American football star and actor, was brought to trial for the 1994 murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was acquitted in 1995[2] after a lengthy trial"the longest jury trial in California history.[3]

Simpson hired a high-profile defense team initially led by Robert Shapiro[4][5][6] and subsequently led by Johnnie Cochran and F. Lee Bailey. Los Angeles County believed it had a solid prosecution case, but Cochran was able to persuade the jurors that there was reasonable doubt about the DNA evidence (then a relatively new type of evidence in trials) -[7] including that the blood-sample evidence had allegedly been mishandled by lab scientists and technicians - and about the circumstances surrounding other exhibits.[8] Cochran and the defense team also alleged other misconduct by the Los Angeles Police Department. Simpson's celebrity and the lengthy televised trial riveted national attention on the so-called "Trial of the Century". By the end of the criminal trial, national surveys showed dramatic differences between most blacks and most whites in terms of their assessment of Simpson's guilt.[9]

My statement:
The Civil trial was the "white man's" revenge and he's STILL innocent. This shows how racially divided Blacks and Whites ARE! There is NOTHING you can say to disuade me.

All I said was good morning...

When you hear me say something a bat-**** crazy as what teenyboone said about Clinton/Obama and drugs. You have the right to tell me I'm crazy too.

I'm not saying anything about the black community, I'm talking specifically about teenyboone.

I'm a conservative, and proud of it.
Now, I defy you or anyone else to find anything I have EVER posted that could be considered racist in any way.

Freedom and liberty matter: Winning the fight against a systematic effort to overthrow the American Republic.

Three anti-freedom dogmas that are rendering the energy of an American free society impotent:
(1) a callous anti-free-market fundamentalism;
(2) an anti-self defense dogmatism;
(3) an insidious anti-Constitutional authoritarianism.

The extraordinary promotion and coordination of racism and authoritarianism by those alleging to be anti-racists and pro-democracy, and their unrelenting slandering and libeling of their opponents have gone hand in hand in our country in the inexorable drive by thieving coveters toward disassembly of the Constitutional Republic of the USA.

No, hawkeye 10, that is not a description of Dick Chenney. That is a description of the psychology of Barach Obama and his thieving covetous supporters.
