No, I'm expecting that the basis this country was built on is going to continue to erode as it has since Lyndon Johnson...All through every administration since Democrat or Republican.

Obama only represents the hastening of this already disastrous process.

You are a fucking racist! Johnson gave every one the right to go to school and work. You would have let it stand, that only whites could?

July 2, 1964) was a landmark piece of legislation in the United States that outlawed racial segregation in schools, public places, and employment. Conceived to help African Americans, the bill was amended prior to passage to protect women, and explicitly included white people for the first time. It also created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
In order to circumvent limitations on congressional power to enforce the Equal Protection Clause imposed by the Supreme Court in the Civil Rights Cases, the law was passed under the Commerce Clause, which had been interpreted by the courts as a broad grant of congressional power. Once the Act was implemented, its effects were far reaching and had tremendous long-term impacts on the whole country. It prohibited discrimination in public facilities, in government, and in employment, invalidating the Jim Crow laws in the southern U.S. It became illegal to compel segregation of the races in schools, housing, or hiring. Powers given to enforce the bill were initially weak, but were supplemented during later years

I doubt that he was elected because he was a black man., That may be only part of the equation. He was elected because he is a unifier, he brings hope, he is not an antagonist. Obama reprsents the newer America, the younger Americans, not the old guard from the Cold War, from VietNam, from the Watergate, from the coke snorking era, from the bad habits of agression and fear. He was also elected thanks to the Republican administration that destroyed America under Bush. So, if Republicans have somebody to put the blame on, well, it's on themselve.

There was not ONE reason not to vote for Obama. Except partisanery.

Actually Lee there was a couple reasons why he missed some votes.
Hate and fear cultivated by the McCain campaign, and the fear and hate cultivated for generations, by racist americans not willing to vote for someone because of his skin color...

Yea, Jesse Jackson, Oprah & Colin Powell were crying because they really liked his suit. 92% of blacks voted for him because of his foreign policy stance.

Kerry got almost 90% of the black vote and he was rediculously uninspiring. Gore too.

I'd venture a guess that the number blacks who voted for Obama solely because of his skin color is about equal to the number of whites who voted for McCain because of his.

lol did you guys see the reports of Police forces preparing for riots in Philly, Detroit, and all those predominantly black cities in case Mccain won the election. Stating that many blacks would feel they were "cheated" out of the election.

I didnt see any police preparing for riots against the white folks



I voted for Mccain

but I would like to see what Obama does. My family is in the Real Estate business so typically that means we always vote Republican. I have nothing against him being black. But if you are going to say black people didnt vote for his ass because he was black. You are just lying to yourself. Especially with police gearing up for riots in case he lost the election. Why would they riot ? Surely not because they dont get those awesoem foreign policies.

McCain, at least during the campaign, never demonstrated to a sufficient number of Americans that he knew what he was doing. And the choice of Palin cinched it.

The McCain campaign had numerous occasions to demonstrate it was on top of the issues. Instead, they chose a negative tack and avoided addressing the issues, while attempting to create fear of the opponent. It failed.

If one message is clear this election season, it is that Americans are, by and large, sick of negative campaigning. It certainly took out Elizabeth Dole, who, while insisting she was a Christian, took the very un-Christian approach of loudly trying to convince her constituents that her opponent was a "godless athiest". And the voters put Dole out of office.

And before you attack Obama further, you might consider looking at those very experienced people he has surrounded himself with. He doesn't pretend to know everything, which I find refreshing.

This is why the two party system is broken.
He does pretend to know everything. He's just a good enough talker to make you think his doesn't think that.
Only time will tell. But even if Obama falls flat on his face, all the blame will go to Bush.

If there is a real, genuine punishment for crimes committed, only the desperate will commit them. Everyone else with half a brain will realized that the benefits do not outweigh the risks.

But that concept has been disproved time and time again. Since when are criminals ever logical? The punishment always outweighs the benefits, yet people commit crimes anyway. It's not a matter of "I wont do x crime because the punishment is too high', it's more like, 'I will do crime x because I wont get caught'. No amount of extreme punishment will stop crime, it's been proven over and over.

Let's look at Texas: They have some of the toughest murder/homicide laws in the country. They execute more people than half the other states combined. Yet they still have one of the highest murder/homicide rates in the nation.

Extreme punishment does not equal less crime. If that were true, America would have a lower homicide rate than all of Europe because we have the death penalty.

Except that the black man we are talking about has a zero as a production record in politics.

Amazing how everyone seems to have crystal balls they can rub to see the future.


How the hell do any of you broke ass baggypants claim to know shit about what Obama's gonna do or not gonna do?? (same thing for those who claim that McCain would have ruined the country if he won).. If you listened to all the election ads to get your info, you're clueless.

Is all I know is I'll be paying more and getting less.

[Pinepig]

gun control is originally a republican mandated agenda, but through the huge spending of the nra-a special interest group if ever there was one, has brainwashed it's members into thinking demecrats will take all your guns away.......


There isn't a single gun control law in america that should not be in place.

holy shit.

I really don't give a fuck what people do to themselves. Its not like a heroin addiction is a glamorous life. If these people want to die, let them. Take them out of the gene pool. People that go to jail for using drugs is a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Illegally SELLING and DISTRIBUTING contraband should be PUNISHED.
Property crimes should be PUNISHED.
What is contraband needs to be re-evaluated.
If there is a real, genuine punishment for crimes committed, only the desperate will commit them. Everyone else with half a brain will realized that the benefits do not outweigh the risks.
