So, as much as I may regret this -- here's the question.

Given the pre-occupation with race and the desire not to offend, would Obama be the Democratic nominee with his qualifications were he not Black?


Hey, Otter. Geraldine Ferraro answered your question!
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

I received this in my email from an elderly friend. Not that I agree with everything said, but it does make a good argument. Just thought it fit in with this forum...take from it what you will.

YES, I'M A BAD AMERICAN

I Am the Liberal-Progressives Worst Nightmare. I am an American.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer.

I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country!

This is AMERICA .

If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.

I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one?

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry rear if you're running from them..

I also think they have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license. I think it's good..... And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.

I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know.

We want our country back! We NEED GOD BACK IN OUR COUNTRY!

No Obama would not be the nominee if he were not black,just like GWB would not be of any importance if he were not the son of GHWB.Life isn't fair just the way it is.

Here are a few more...
I believe that what I do with my body is my business.
I believe the greatest responsibility we have with our tax dollars is to provide a public school education that prepares young people with the adequate tools to succeed in life i.e. the fact that we as a country remained silent while our children were taught abstinence only sex ed will be later recalled as our greatest failing ( a close tie with No Child Left Behind)
I believe that some day, America will live up to its promise and truly be a color-blind society. We are not there yet.
I think it is a great disappointment to me that my childhood fascination with John Wayne is diminished by his well documented racism. I will give him a pass though as a) it was a different time and this position was not unique to him and b) Rooster Cogburn was an awesome movie.
I believe that those who make the most money should pay the highest tax rate. ( Warren Buffet is with me on this one)
I believe that my relationship with God is, much like my body, my business.
I believe that it does not take a village to raise a child but it sure as hell helps ( note-there is nowhere I have ever lived where my son was more influenced by other adults than in San Pedro)
There are more but here is what I believe in more than all of these-my opinion is exactly that- MY opinion. It is no better or worse than anyone else's and that, my friend, is the most awesome part of being American.
