Every race and social class has their bigots. Why work when you can sit at home and draw a check? The politicians have made government that way. Make people dependent upon them and they will just want more. I see using racial divide as a tool the government promotes to make people more dependent upon them. Over 50% of our country now sees bigger government as the answer. There is no way we will ever be able to repay out multi-trillion dollar debt. I am ready to build a bunker and go off the grid. We are on a path to self destruction.

Obama Re-elected -- 9-Year-Old Black Kid Can Breathe Easy

Brandon, a 9-year-old black kid, attended a campaign rally hosted by Michelle Obama. A cameraman interviewed Brandon, who was there with his dad. "Why does (Obama) need to win?" he was asked. "Because if Mitt Romney wins," he replied, "we'll be going back to the crop fields. We'll be picking crops." Off-screen, his father could be heard laughing.

From whom does a 9-year-old hear that Obama's opponent is a racist who, to quote the Democratic National Committee chairwoman, wants "to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws"?

Brandon's father might alert his son to a recent column...
