  1. Tell that to the idiots who believe that every white person in America hates Obama. These people are so brain dead that they don't understand that Obama couldn't have been elected if whites didn't vote for him.

  3. Evidently they were a little to quick with that Nobel Peace Prize. This is what happens when making history is more important than qualifications, when people buy the hyped up hope that the expected change will automatically be good.
    History has been made. Most of it bad. Change has happened. Most of it bad. Hope? Hope has been lost. Well, I guess two out of three ain't bad.

    You might take a look at previous winners and ask yourself, "did they end war?"

    You'll have to admit, though, that that Peace Prize was pretty silly.

    Don't fool yourself. We were fully on board with stoking the fires of "revolution" on the ground because we, like the saudis, wanted a competing pipeline (to Gazprom) to go through the Crimea.

    I'm more concerned with how the Russian propaganda machine might be trying to fool me. When you look into our supposed meddling, in practical terms, i.e. personnel and money, it doesn't stand out. Not to deny that we have interests in Ukraine looking West.

    Nonsense.

    Romney got 52% of men, 59% of whites, 51% of those 45-64 years old, 56% of those 65 and older, 52% of those making $50-90k a year, 54% of thos emaking over $100k and 51% of those with a college degree.

    Basically the responsible people who live in the real world and make the country work, voted in large majorities for Romney.

    Ok, so it was old, "white", Southern men who also tend to be wealthy.
