Quote from cgroupman:
As I said, not a great comparison, but I still think you get my point. We came, we conquered, we took. By 'we' I mean the white majority while using slaves and to be honest, questionable business and employment practices. Ala the railroads, banks, farming and all that.
I think Obama will win, but not a great choice is all I keep saying. There simply is no one else at this point.
And I still cringe at all the basic hatred, most of it aimed at the false Obama, the caricature, as I keep saying. He hasn't done any of the bad things he was feared to do. And, yes, fear is the word. Check the other thread about fear of doing business even though the economy is better. And we have $trillions due to the stock market doubling in the few years.
We still have our guns, and the gun shops ended up making $zillions due to irrational fears of not having access to ammo and all the rest.
He's an American, he's not a Muslim, he's not a socialist. He's the elected President of our Country.
Again, he has let many Americans down. He will hopefully do a better job in his second 4 years.
I understand that the R's are very concerned because they don't have much to run with at this point. No Reagan, no one even close, but to simply hate is just not the America I grew up in.
