reveal media bias!

I think that you might be buying into the fear and hype that`s pushed by the right. To begin with, I disagree with your statement that a racist is being appointed to the Supreme Court. She`s received the highest praise from both sides of the aisle,and has the most experience of any judge at this point in her career compared to all others presently sitting on the bench.  On another note, let`s give Bush #1 credit for making the initial decision to place her in a high- profile position to begin with.

There is not one sitting judge on the supreme court that doesn`t see the world through a unique perspective inspired by race, culture, or gender.  And they`ve all said as much.  However, I`ll ask you to clarify further and compare how you think she parallels with the racism you`ve personally experienced as being bi-racial.  It should be an easy enough task for you.  Explain your premise in terms of something she`s said, her rulings, her affiliations etc., and then tell me if you think how she navigates the concourse is any different from the other judges on the bench. And then we`ll determine if she`s being held to a different standard than the others.  No need to rush, we can do this over time.

I thik you`ll agree that this is an entirely new day and age, and that we need to look at our place in the world from an entirely different perspective.  I think the biggest challenge from libertarians, such as yourself, is that you continually fail to correct the problem at the source.---which is not capitalism-----but an out-of-control free market economy  that creates its own rules at the expense of the American public.  For the past thirty years, the right has implemented programs and ideologies in the belief that trickle-down economics is the pefect economic model.

If you trace our present dilema back to the source, you`ll find the philosphies of Any Rand stamped upon the minds and souls of many of the most notable architects of the American economy.  Alan Greenspan, a true Ayn Rand convert,  had a rude awakening!  Admired for years for his brilliance and insight--he admitted that the jackals of Wall Street are out of control and that his philosophies of a free market, that can police itself, are in need of an overhaul.

Obama isn`t sitting in the commander`s chair plotting to take away the rights of the American people. The truth is, we`ve lost more rights as as a people in the past eight years than anyone can imagine.  But you`re aware of that, otherwise you wouldn`t have initially placed so much hope in president Obama to begin with.  Make no mistake, he`s centrist.  It`s just that the right is failing to bring anything of value to the table. What`s happening now is the same thing that happened to the democratic party decades ago. The dems simply didn`t have any new ideas, and thus the right was left to dominate.  Our economy is a direct result of that imbalance.

We can`t continue down the same path allowing Wall Street and big business to lobby the laws that define how we`re all going to be governed. No amount of coaxing can bring you to this realization if you`re intent on looking the other way!  We have a trade imbalance that makes absolutely no sense. We`ve lost manufacturing jobs that will never return. We`ve allowed Wall street to create phantom derviates and financial vehicles that have nearly wrecked the economies of the world.  We are the largest debtor nation in the world and will be owned by China for decades to come.  We have a health care and education dilema that requires both sides of congress to fix.  We`re fighting two wars with no end in sight. We have a crumbling infrastructure etc, etc.

And...we`re debating if Obama is the rebirth of the Fatherland Party that became the Nazis party.  Really! 

One last thought!  You and others on this site don't mind making the case that the KKK is originally a demoratic extract.  For your information, many of the social and humanitarian gains of the past century came out of leftist thinking.  However, this could not have been accomplished without help from those on the right.  I hope you don't find this offensive--but I don't see the KKK or any other such group as left or right.  They generally have one thing in common--they're usually white.

The base of the right is shrinking because there is no longer a place in American thought for the same worn out dogma and fears still being shoved down the throats of the America people.  It's a new day and age.  Either we get with the program as a nation, or the world will leave us behind.
