Me resent you b/c you're a lawyer? Stop flattering yourself. It's your
quisling nature, vis a vis the illegal invasion, that should make any American
cringe. That isn't to mention your lack of political acumen which is always
good for a daily belly laugh.

Does your Obama-is-God clique toss this label about when they meet a white who doesn't accept the guilt of 400 years of slavery? Who opposes Affirmative Action and who rejects folks like you who, as a profession, works daily to see that illegals are released back into American society? If yes, I accept your label :)

That need is enforced by the State and Federal governments thru licensure. Just as doctors have had to yield ground to their controlled profession so will lawyers have to yield.
I don't know about jokes, but I certainly have seen a lot of threads about jackbooted thugs on forums like this one.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

I'm the first guy to advocate getting rid of the state. I can also hang tile, lay brick and weld. If I could make as much money doing those things, I would.
Doctors have had to give ground to NPs, PAs and nurses. Past time for the legal profession to do the same.
Whether you like it or not, there is a substantial class of white folks who are toothless, smoke meth, live in trailers and screw their sisters
And there's an even bigger class of inner city blacks who smoke crack, have 10 or more illegitimate kids, live off welfare and foodstamps, run in gangs, and walk around town with "kill whitey" t- shirts. Because of hate crime and hate speech laws, you aren't allowed to say anything about these people if you want a job in politics or the mass media.

I think we'd get a better deal with Chinese troops than with Mexican illegals. Compare the achievements of the average Asian immigrant (owns a business, gets a degree in engineering, etc) to those of the average Mexican immigrant (spends his welfare check on flashy hub caps for his low rider and gang tattoos).

Yet we get dufus statements like a woman should never be president.
You can probably find one and point it out given enough time.
You'll easily be able to source "Hillary should never be President" or should never have become Senator, for that matter.
Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things. T. S. Eliot OBAMA/WEBB IN 2008 The perfect is the enemy of the good. Voltaire
Wright claims here that Barack Obama isn't white..excuse me? He's half white..don't you think it's disingenuous and dishonest of this pastor to deny the white half of Barack Obama? Further Wright claims that Obama was neither rich or privileged! What? If he were neither of those, he wouldn't be a Senator and a CFR member, nor would he be running for president of the United States. He's every bit as privileged and elitist as Hillary in that regard. Of course, this pastor, because he's black, gets a pass for his bigotry.
I don't get why Freedom4umers are hating on this black minister? He cries out against the evils of American empire just as we do, and with as much force. Fact is, rich white men have run it, and we should all hate them for it as much as he does. That hate has nothing to do with their skin color. It has everything to do with the evil that they do, to blacks, whites and every shade in between.
This man is a Christian and the spirit of Christ is in him, for he hates the Roman Imperial Beast just as Christ did. I think it speaks well of Obama that he came to Christ through the ministry this fearless Empire-denouncer. That Obama might also share his sentiments might be one reason why neocon Kristol is presently lying in NY Times columns to try and derail his candidacy.
Black, white, red or yellow, the Beast is the enemy of us all. Reverend Wright, who sees this ememy clearly and preaches against it with great force, with the power to change even the heart of a future president, deserves our thanks for that, not our condemnation.

Are you claiming that Obama is white? That's not how our culture has defined it. So, why get upset when a black preacher accepts and applies the definition of blackness in our culture? Sure, the definition is racist, but it was white racists who came up with the definition, because THEY wanted to deny the whiteness of blacks. That blacks have accepted it too is hardly surprising. What else would you expect?

As the son of a single mother from Kansas, he was neither rich nor privileged. His upbringing and that of George W. Bush's are like night and day.
He did make it to Harvard (and, thus, into elite circles), but because of merit, not pedigree.
I'm thinking when he filled
out his applications, he ID himself as black. If I'm right, than gave him a
better chance at placement that a white, so it really wouldn't be all about
merit.

i don't think anyone is "hating on this black minister," mark, and certainly there is no criticism about his rants against the evil of the empire. my post on this thread was in response to Wright's racist rant in the video. if he were white (i think he's half as well) and his rant were directed against a person of color, he'd be ridiculed unmercilessly. my point is that what he said was hypocritical and there does exist now a double standard on acceptable speech by persons of color and whites, along with reverse racism.
incidentally, don't you find it ironic that Obama himself has denounced Wright and distanced himself from him because of his anti-government, anti-American empire, 911, and foreign policy statements.

If Obama had not distanced himself, I suspect the people condemning him on this board would be doing so all the more vociferously.
Myself, I think it's ironic that people are condemning him for bowing (somewhat) to political realities -- at the same time that they're condemning him, by association, for Wright's statements.
It's obvious that the archsupporters of war and empire are panicking at the prospect that Obama might become president. They clearly don't welcome the idea. Shouldn't we be guided by that fact?
