People – at the grass roots level – effect change. Politicians are servants.

Lesley, I think that has been his message from the start.

I have never sat in front of YouTube for 38 minutes before.

Ever. That was fucking great.

Logic is not studied by the left, but every writer who is not Shakespeare or white is. Sad.

Dang, you caught me, Gary. I’m teaching my little monsters The House on Mango Street right now, but only to foster the literacy skills they’ll need to take jobs and college placements away from white people.

In my limited experience with women, one’s that are grievance based like his spouse, carry that grievance into every aspect of their lives.

a lot can be said about the stupid based but I don’t want to be meanish.

Wait, we’re not supposed to be mean and petty? Damn, for a minute there I thought I’d found a home.

You just don’t want to have your heart broken again. But you listen to Obama for a while, and it’s like, “Well, why not? What else are hearts for?”

This is the same logic that ended up getting me married.

So far, it hasn’t screwed me over — but I bet Obama can do worse than she has.

Noen, please don’t start that argument up again. Seems that the people involved agreed to stop, and chill out for a while. Please give it a chance to cool off.

But the idea of working outside the system is a nonstarter. Look at the damn Greens if you want proof.

The Greens in the USA have accomplished some small things. The “other parties” are very marginal, but not totally pointless.

“Ok, so we have an admitted asshole who doesn’t listen to the people around him telling him he’s being a fucking prick lecturing others on how to conduct their lives.”

“Krassen, SN is not about being mean and petty.”

Krassen said,
“See, I can relate to you, because in reality, I am also this mean prick that people around me often complain about… “

Well Krassen if that is what you are bringing to this site please pack it up and take it somewhere else. SN has never been about that kind of petty shit and Lesley is a valued contributor.

“I hope you don’t mind the coaching…”

Ok, so we have an admitted asshole who doesn’t listen to the people around him telling him he’s being a fucking prick lecturing others on how to conduct their lives. Ummmm yeah….

Krassen, SN is not about being mean and petty. Sure the folk here make fun of wingnuts and that can get a little harsh. But I have rarely seen it devolve into being mean just to be mean. There is a line that we do not cross. Take for instance the recent thread on Kate Grogan, people felt a genuine concern that she might have a mental impairment and that we should back off because of that. That’s how this place rolls.

So I have to wonder what is your agenda Krassen? Why are you here? If you think this is a free for all and that you can just go around bad mouthing anyone you please… no… no, take that shit somewhere else.

Not being ‘Murrican and living in Europe, I can only watch the Obama/Clinton contest through a distant and somewhat smudged lens. That said, I thought Obama’s speech to be a rare thing from an American politician. A speech that soared, even on the page. We Europeans have become used to coarser things from your pols; petty, bellicose rants that invariably come back to mentions of flags and a rose-tinted past. (A past in which–and it’s difficult to avoid this–the lighter-skinned race held the whip hand.)

So I like this Obama chap. I find him to be congenial and so, I believe, do many other Britons like me.

Also he’s a West Ham fan; a trivial thing that has nevertheless has significance and importance to some Englishmen.

All the best to him.

mikey:

He’s this kid I went to high school with. He was in shop class and talked about cars and usually ha a copy of Lowrider magazine with the hot car models in front, but all he’d talk about is the hubcap ads inside.

I think we’ve all known a Carlos Whitaker.

Also, can I just mentioned that I think it’s hilarious that someone on Free Republic is using a quote from the fucking Shah?

I mean, seriously, haven’t we at LEAST outgrown /that/ shit?
