After reading some comments on your blog, I have realized something. Comments like this make me think:
"Utah: Where politics are black and white. Minus the black. Use sound judgment this election, not the spirit of fear."
"I shake my head at the poor Mormons who will vote without thinking first.”
As much as I think that it is unfair, foolish and close minded for people to vote one way because they’re members of the church, I think it is just as unfair, foolish and close-minded of you to assume that everyone that doesn’t vote for Obama does it out of fear and because we hate blacks.
I have looked at a lot of policies. And I don’t like Obama. That has nothing to do with Muslim or fear – I don’t like his policies or idea (besides his health care plan, which he stole from Mitt Romney. Long live Mitt Romney.).
I would think that, with Obama singing out for a reform of politics, for fair-minded judgements and such, we could at least expect the same from his supporters.
I don't like John McCain - But at least McCain doesn't pretend he's different. He's dirty (just like Obama) but McCain owns up to it.
One old black man defeats the KKK with kindness and humor. They burned down his church, burned a cross in his yard, and mercilessly taunted him. He always responded in kindness, and turned their hearts to him. We should use this as a blueprint to respond to those who hate us.
Paul makes fun of the Nobel, chastises Reps and Dems from not criticizing their own parties, and encourages dissent: I'm a fan of both Ron Paul and Noam Chomsky, who seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum. But they are both anti-war, anti-interventionist, and honest thinkers.
"Thomas Paine came to America from Great Britain in 1774 when he was 37 years old. He burned with righteous indignation at the cruel tyranny of kings. Half a million copies of "Common Sense," his plainspoken call for rebellion, flooded this fledgling nation of three million people. His rhetoric so moved and persuaded George Washington that he read Paine's words to the troops at Valley Forge. After America won its independence, Paine found himself in another fight, the French Revolution, and wrote another best-seller, "The Rights of Man." But he got into trouble in France and was thrown into prison, narrowly avoiding execution. He returned to America in 1802, a prophet without honor in the nation he helped to create."
