They choose to hate and nothing will change their minds. I believe most people are basically good. Given an opportunity, they work things out. Here is an example. In 1956, my dad, Dr. Rev. Lloyd Marcus Sr, was one of the first blacks to break the color barrier into the Baltimore City Fire Department at Engine 6. Unlike the white firefighters, dad did not have free reign of the fire house. A bunk, toilet, sink and single set of eating utensils were marked “reserved” for him. Even the general coffee pot was off limits....

Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric, and that fathead from NBC are probably still up partying. A hearty fourth of July celebration? No, much better than that for the liberal left and their attack dog media: Sarah Palin has resigned. Chris Matthew's arms must be sore to the bone from patting himself on the back.

Not one of them replied—they had no answer. They don’t know why they hate her, but they just do. Sarah Palin did nothing wrong to these people, or to the rest of the United States. If she had a ‘D’ after her name, she’d be hailed a hero in the mainstream media. However, just because she stands for what’s right in America,... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2285451/posts#comment Sat, 4 Jul 2009 15:38:11 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2285445/posts They gathered, young and old, black, white and hispanic. They wore spirited clothes, with bold patriotic words on the front. They held signs, they cheered, they jeered, they made their voices heard. An eyeball guestimate of between 3,500 and 4,500 people showed up at the Houston Tea Party Society's "Declare Your Independence" Rally and Celebration yesterday afternoon at Discovery Green in Downtown Houston. Even the stifling heat streaming rivulets of sweat could not dampen the enthusiasm of this crowd. They came from all over to attend.

John Ensign (R-Nev.) and Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) don’t appear to have much in common. Yet there is one thread that binds them together: Both Ensign and Sanford were members of the famed Republican House class of 1994, as well as its latest casualties. As it turns out, the pressures and demands of political life have inflicted devastating damage not only on the Ensign and Sanford families, but on the families of many of the 71 other freshmen who formed...

You will loose half of your marketing audience. I played the rough mix for a liberal and that line infuriated him. Also, you're a Christian and Jesus would never point a finger at anyone”.

Jones PRINCETON, NJ -- A Gallup Poll finds a statistically significant increase since last year in the percentage of Americans who describe the Democratic Party's views as being "too liberal," from 39% to 46%. This is the largest percentage saying so since November 1994, after the party's losses in that year's midterm elections. (Cross our fingers this leads to a future loss) Most major demographic and attitudinal subgroups show at least a slight uptick since 2008 in perceptions that the Democratic Party is too liberal.

Obama’s poll numbers have slipped this week to 58%, which is the lowest that it’s ever been, and many Democrats seem to be following Obama’s own doctor of 22 years in turning their backs on ObamaCare.

Starr told the gathering at Loyola Law School that he "thinks very well" of Sotomayor, whose nomination has triggered strong opposition from conservative groups.
