    Don't tell me what to do. I didn't start the Bush bashing posts and I credited Bush for his creditable work in one of them. It is naive of you to expect absolution for him and all mention of him to cease--especially on transition day when people reflect on such things. But I certainly understand why you'd like it that way. :hihi:

    I didn't start criticizing Bush until he started fouling up and kept fouling up. I won't start criticizing Obama until he starts fouling up. But I will always credit each man for his own virtues and his own faults.

    Oh, the textbooks are far worse than the Quran . . . they can be influenced politically today, while the Quran is stuck in medieval politics.

    In the Quran "jihad" means "holy war". In the Palestinian textbooks:

    You're like my golf balls...you don't listen.

    I'm sure Obama is quaking in his boots, knowing that you are vigilant. You have a high opinion of yourself.

    It's the Obama way. Self-confidence is a good thing.

    Well good debate. Chaos that was actually a good response. You underestimate some of us thinking we are "republican" drones. Actually i am not a republican. I am a Reagan Conservative, I built my ideology on books such as Barry Goldwater’s Conscious of a conservative. (Great book) we haven’t had a republican in office since Reagan I would consider someone true to the conservative ideology.
    I get the racial issue, so I can buy that. But again being that African Americans make up 11% of the American population, what about Asians, Hispanics etc. Or is it just "people of color" we are talking about.
    If that is the case Bush had more diversity in his cabinet then Obama does. Heck Rice was arguably one of the top three most powerful people in the united states and she is an african american female. So I dont know why we would celebrate Obama anymore then Hispanics, and african americans being in positions of great power during the Bush administration. An African American Female as Sec. of State. But yet Oprah never had her on her show, or cried when she was appointed..... Hmm interesting... So I guess I find it hypocritcal for people to celebrate all this diversity when none of this was even discussed when the most diverse cabinet in US history was in power.

    Anyway. I like Obama wish him well, just not resting to easy worried that after the parade dies we will slowly inch closer to a socialist society.

    I don't think that'll happen if the President has the cojones to tell Pelosi and Reid, et.al. to sit down and stfu.
