And whether Obama or Cosby mentions it, refers to the problems, you cloud the issue by criticizing them for exaggerating the issue. No, no one is saying that all young black men are irresponsible. But in the cities, too many are. It's starts with single parent households with no structure on behaviour, and leads to zero interest in learning in the classroom in grade school, by too many young children in the cities. When you blame the "failing public schools" you're ignoring the personal responsibility of the students. When you blame "job discrimination" you're ignoring the fact that so many of city kids drop out of school and have only mastered a very low level of intellectual achievement, at a grade school level believe it or not. Why don't you write an article that proposes solutions to inner-city dysfunctional behavior and the resulting crime and teenage pregnancies, and absentee fathering? Why don't you? That's the real elephant in the room that you weirdly ignored in your article, preferring instead to blame people for mentioning the problems. To Earl Hutchinson,

You sure as heck will be surprised. At what's in your drawers. Change? You betcha. You'll be doing that all day long. Everytime you ask yourself, "How could I have been so stupid?" I'm checking right now to make sure disposable diapers are in my stock portfolio. Procter and Gamble, right? breaux says: “It is time to surprise ourselves with change.”

It is time for a change. It is time to surprise ourselves with a change." If you think that it's time to elect a marxist, go ahead and vote for "O". It won't be a surprise you get. It will be a shock. Obama is a media invented figment of the imagination of the weak liberal mind. The man's not qualified to run a 7-eleven much less the United States of America. McCain's not much better. "We Can’t Afford to Keep Doing What We’ve Been Doing" What the hell is that supposed to mean? Does it mean that the Democrats in Congress can't afford to prevent domestic exploration of oil and the production of nuclear energy? If so, then he's right. The only problem with that is that he would continue to do what the Democrats have been doing...stonewalling any effort to produce cheaper oil. The Democrats can't run a restaurant in the Senate and you want to trust them with our health care? Maybe you feel guilty because you don't think that you're paying enough taxes. OK, then "O" is your guy. Finally, with "O" in the White House, you may want to avoid skyscrapers. Breaux,

Although it is still early, that's a bad sign for him. My feeling towards the '08 election is that it is going to be an interesting November. Stage left, we have a revolution simmering; stage right, we have an old-school flyboy with guns blazing. At Pollclash.com, they got the captions right on the dot (Obama: We Can't Afford to Keep Doing What We've Been Doing vs. McCain: America's Economy is Fundamentally Strong) - two entirely opposing tones.

But I'm hoping McCain won't have to do all that much to get conservatives to vote for him in the end. By November, I hope they'll have heard the truth about Obama, and how far to the ruinous left he would take us, that they'll be first in line at the polls. Dr. Frank Lippenheimer:

Of course not. But he also should not go out of his way to "court" the black vote. It will do him no good, and will only make him look like a schmuck. What McCain SHOULD do, however, is go WAY out of his way to court conservatives, who remain rather cool to him (and for good reason). If blacks do not turn out for him, he can still easily get by. But if the GOP base stays home, he's cooked. Should McCain Write Off African-American Voters?

As a matter of fact, a better argument exists that says a lack of laws and civility cause poverty. In the 50's, only 1/3rd of blacks were born to single mothers. Now, it is 70%. So it isn't that blacks are slowly recovering from racism, they are going to hell in a handbasket due to self-inflicted wounds. And any black 30 years old has known NOTHING but special protections and outright advantage. Any black my age, 40, has lived their life with legalized discrimination against whites for their benefit. And I for one am sick of it. Crime is not proven to be caused by poverty. As a matter of fact, a better argument exists that says a lack of laws and civility cause poverty.
