Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Nossiter cited one political analyst saying "there's no other explanation than race" for Obama receiving a smaller percentage of the Alabama white vote than John Kerry did in 2004.

Oh? How about reasonable anxiety about Obama's alliances and gaps in his biography, not to mention that he made the mistake of revealing his socialism and contempt for rural, Bible- and gun-toting Americans when away from his teleprompter?

One might think the liberals' persistent demagoguery on race mostly for partisan gain would subside with the election of Barack Obama, but one would be wrong.

Prescient commentators predicted that if Obama won, there would be no letting up. They speculated that charges of racism might even escalate, as an emboldened left would begin an all-out war against conservative talk radio.

Lo and behold, before the Electoral College has even convened to formalize Obama's victory, the slanderous group e-mails have begun. I personally received a number of them today, one of which said conservative talk radio is "'All Hate All The Time' -- racist, homophobic, sexist."

Don't think they aren't methodically laying a foundation to strip conservative America of its most powerful First Amendment outlet, talk radio, so they can restore their coveted liberal media monopoly.

There's apparently no limit to the shameless tactics of those willing to use false and divisive charges of racism to vilify an entire group of people (which, ironically, is the pernicious thought process inherent in racism) who are probably truer to racial colorblindness than their sanctimonious accusers.

Intellectual elites
At least most of them can use $2 words correctly:

hypothecate:
Medieval Latin hypothecare to pledge, from Late Latin hypotheca pledge, from Greek hypotheke, from hypotithenai to put under, deposit as a pledge

a couple points
I'd like to make. First, the observations by some posters that conservatives are losing the south. Backed up by statistics that miss the point. The point is Obama did not win by a huge margin even in these areas where demographics favor him. He did not win by large margins anywhere except the few places one would expect him to win this way like NYC etc. In fact when you look at the numbers what is truly surprising given the atmosphere and the much vilified incumbents, I am stunned the margins were as close as they were. Think about it, Carter barely beat a republican when the winds blew against Nixon. Obama barely beat McCain EVEN THOUGH most conservatives had no motivation to support him. I think the whole election(aside from some uninformed youth and racial voters) was votes against someone rather than supporting a certain platform. As for the death of the republican party prayed for by trolls, you have to do better than you have so far. We will find politicians who could care less about reaching across the aisle and will relentlessly pursue their agenda in spite o it's popularity. They will come from the rank and file of average folks, like Sarah Palin and they will not be interested in continuing their careers at the expense of their values. Until we do we will be in the wilderness because every attempt made in my lifetime to "reach across the aisle" has resulted in furthering the growth of government. Remember folks, Reagan succeeded in SPITE of having a filibuster majority of liberal legislators to contend with. The whole time he was president!! That is what makes him an icon.
