Also, I strongly recommend a visit to Mount Vernon to make you think about potential solutions to our ills. This country is incredibly fragile and always has been. It exists because of individuals making things happen, usually in spite of partisan politics, not because of them. If you want/think/expect the government to come up with solutions, you are ALWAYS going to be disappointed at best. I used to think very much like you do. My understanding of history came from highly regarded private schools and an Ivy League university. I lived in Europe for a while. I worked actively on Democratic political campaigns. I thought I really understood democracy. But it's funny how blinkered we are and how much received wisdom we accept unquestioningly. If you go back to the original sources, and read the documents and drafts of documents and the philosophical underpinnings from which our founding fathers drew to create these documents, I bet, if you allow yourself, you will begin to view the contemporary landscape in a different way. It's frightening to do so, but also liberating. Forget all the arguments you hear on the internet, forget what your professors told you when you were in school. Just go back and look for yourself. You may be very surprised at the conclusions you draw.

Michael Steele Condi Rice Ken Blackwell Alan Keyes Clarence Thomas Bobby Jindal Michelle Malkin Colin Powell (squishy, I admit) I could go on, but you get the idea. There are plenty of GOP people of color, so to speak. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they don't exist. Currently the GOP is being run by a "person of color". The "tired old white people" who RUN a party are actually Democrats. In case you haven't noticed, President Obama isn't actually running anything other than a continuous campaign. He's leaving the heavy lifting to other members of his party. Also, it isn't up to the government to fix the airlines. And medical care is available to all - I am aware of no hospital that is allowed to turn someone away from the emergency room. Are you? And the funds allocated in 2005 to repair roads and bridges hasn't been spent yet. Next? #8, Howard Veit:

First, it is the Conservative Political Action Committee not the GOP national convention. Second, Airlines are a private business maybe they should fix themselves. Third, If you can't find a person of color in the GOP or the Conservative movement you aren't looking very hard.

A bunch of tired old white people without an idea of how to get the country moving, to repair our roads and bridges, to FIX THE AIRLINES, and like it or not make the medical care system available to all. And finding a person of color is nearly impossible.
