...even those the government believes they have taken away from me.
the only problem you have with my statement is that you know i'm right. though you would like to believe that the voting public is intelligent and well-informed, the reality of the situation is just the opposite. just look at w's re-election and you can see how america voted with its anger and its fear instead of following an intelligent course. for every voter who follows the facts there are ten who either blindly stumble along in their party's wake or vote for whoever has the nicest hair. i didn't opt out of the american political scene, i opted out of the illusion that the choices we are given are the only choices available. i opted out of an institution so polarized that it is no longer capable of performing its most basic functions.

That is fine Del, if you want to opt out..it is your right to do so and I have no problem with that. I do have a problem with anyone that does not participate in their country's legislative policy speaking out against ANY candidate. If you don't participate you should NOT participate at all. You have chosen not to be involved in the democracy of your country. So sadly by not voting you have made your opinion worthless as far as the democratic functionality.
Yes the country voted out of fear for George Bush and I do agree that democracy in this country came dangerously close to failure but now the pendulum is swinging the other way. Enough people are worried.
The people of Moveon.org worked really hard to change the way people in this country involve in politics. They have become the largest grassroots political group in the country and by harnessing the power of the internet they were able to pull people together and got the voters motivated. I made 400 calls myself and 2 public speeches and many of my friends became involved for the 1st time in their lives.
Trust me I am the first person NOT to trust government. I believe the Salvadorian option was used in Iraq so that the country could be divided and their oil taken from them. I am sure of it. So I want to see the leaders responsible brought to justice. This can't happen by doing nothing.
Change will only come about when people get angry enough and care enough to participate.
I really hope you will change your mind and take part we really do need you.

perhaps you misconstrued my earlier post. obama's background and political tilt are not what i was criticizing, but the tendency of the masses to make important decisions based on purely cosmetic reasoning.

Hussien....is so liberal.... he makes Hillary seam conservative..... Damn thats hard to do.
Here is Obamas church.......replace the word Black, with the word white...and replace the (D) with an (R), and the media would be all over him.
Meaning if there was a white republican going to a PRO white church...he would be hung out to dry.....
Obama has No chance.....

Wouldn't it be quite difficult to join the church of Ghana if you don't if that's where you're from? Blacks unite together to celebrate and discuss a common life experience. Quit drinking the Hater-ade!

look at this purpose statement at a church in My neighborhood......( i dont go to it BTW)
FAITH :: ARVADA, COLORADO
Our Purpose
We are a family of faith with a single purpose; we want to honor God. The purpose of Faith Bible Chapel is to honor God by:
-- Acknowledging the Holy Spirit in all we do --
We value prayer and continually ask God to lead us in our planning. He shows us the needs of people, the opportunities for service to Him and gives us specific ideas to keep our church active and fresh. It is His church and we want Him to shepherd us all.
-- Bringing people to Jesus and to membership in His family --
We have been blessed by God. God loves us and will give us His life! We work to share the good news with our next door neighbors and with people around the world. We want to be a blessing to others and to help people find a relationship with Him for themselves.
-- Celebrating His presence through worship --
It is refreshing and energizing to express joyful praise to God together. We encourage active participation in singing and other expressions of worship to God as a key part of each of our meetings as a church family.
-- Developing people into Christ-like maturity through the Word of God --
The highest goal for a person is to grow continually into the character of God Who made us to be like Himself. We study the Bible for practical advice on how to continue to change so that we fulfill His purposes more completely. We want to be fresh in our experience of His life in us.
-- Equipping people for their ministry in the church and life mission in the world --
We each have unique gifts that we can offer to enrich the experience of God by every member of our church family. We share a common mission to reach others with a clear message of God's love and power so that they can enjoy being in God's family also. Training and opportunities for everyone to serve God actively are always present.
I dont see any mention of race???? Hummm??????
Racism is Racism....i dont care how you spin it

racism begets racism and ignorance breeds it like cattle. history can't be changed, but it can be forgiven. until attitudes of revenge are put aside nothing positive will come about on that front.
