Peter – you’re letting your fear run with you. Obama is HITLER…This is just madnesss…Look at what you wrote

One of the most frightening things I’ve seen. Just one example.

“So when I’m President, I will set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year.”

Middle school?? Those are kids of 11 and 12 years old! And they are to be forced into “public service,” …

Obama says he will “set a goal” – You say “they are to be forced” – How do you get from one to the other. You don’t except in your feverish imagination. Get real. There is nothing for you to fear here (unless you’ve got a jones for the Lost Cause)…

Wade – life is short – i’m not going to play gotcha with you…But I remember your response to O’s race speech. You knew it was not nothing. No reason to go back on your self.

“One of a kind cat”, come on Benj, he’s an American. but he can’t or won’t admit to what that really means to him because his preacher for twenty years and his own wife, the potential first lady, hold that out as something obscene, performed by the bitter and illiterate unwashed. AND YOU WANT US TO CUT HIM SOME SLACK?

O just spelled out a vision of his patriotism in public – Yet you insist you somehow KNOW better what America means to him. Are you that tight w/ him Wade? You know his dreams? You’re acting like a fantast. Obama understands from within the ambivalence many African-AMericans’ feel about this country’s history. How does that disqualify him to be president? Unless honesty is the deal-breaker.
