    What makes it a fantasy? So you are saying that Obama's political and personal views can't be disliked? Personally I don't give a shit what color he is. Hell I don't even care he is a Democrat. The dude lies and tossed us a smoke screen. What changes he promised actually were made? For that I thank him.

    The leftists like you are the people on this board who keep bringing up Obama's race. Tells me you view black people as being different from you, based solely on the color of their skin. :dunno:

    I view a person as a person, and judge a politician by their integrity and their success. Obama fails on both counts, IMO, but you go ahead with playing your little Race Card. It says more about you than it says about those of us you accuse of being racists, but I don't expect you to understand this basic point.

    Show me these same people investigating for dirt on Colin Powell and Condolezza Rice then you may have something about Race being the primary driver of their actions.

    Until then, your baseless, unsubstantiated theories are very suspect.

    When Colin and Condi have some real power that threatens the rednecks, you'll have an argument.

    Hahahah using the race card; then flipping the card back by using "rednecks". A-typical Democrat behavior.

    I just love the worldview you have where color and race mean nothing in anyone's motivations. It's a world I wish we lived in, but sadly don't. Perhaps YOUR motivations towards hating Obama aren't racially motivated, but saying that everyone's isn't is just foolish.

    This is what we call "projection". Chris, not everyone hates people different from them. In fact, most people on the Right believe everyone is equal, hence the de-emphasis on identity politics that seems to characterize the Left.

    Wow. This post is even a better example than the one to which I just responded. There is a whole, big world of people out there that are too busy with their own problems to give a rat's ass about what color, gender, religion or sexual preference a person may possess. The people preoccupied with identity politics seems to be the Left.

    And for the record, finding one racist, sexist or homophobe doesn't color everyone else of the same political persuasion. There are idiots all across the political spectrum.

    So wait, you don't like the fact you brought up Romney being disliked because he's mormon is actually less likely than Obama being disliked because he's black?

    Notice I also said it wasn't like everyone who disliked him disliked him because he's black. But that the people who seem hell bent on coming up with every single reason why he shouldn't be president probably are more inclined to dislike him because of that (and like most conspiracy nutters, are dumber than a 2nd grader)

    Does anyone else find it ironic that some people on this board think a black person elected with 53% of the vote governs a country of racists?

    I think we should form a volunteer posse -- naming ourselves that way would give us instant credibility.

    I thought school transcripts stopped mattering ten years or so past graduation. Does this mean I have to worry about explaining that bad quarter my junior year when I had mono?

    Clearly Chris judges a person based more the color of their skin than on the content of their character.

    I wonder how a person gets to view the world that way? I just don't understand it.

    I find it even more funny (or is it sad?) that some people on this board think that fanatical fans of a league that is 90% black give a shit at all about a person's race. Chris is on the way, way extreme end of the left side of the political spectrum, though.

    My cousin who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1992 and grad school in '94 just had to give his transcripts to the federal government during the vetting process of his new job as a federal employee.

    Also, did 40 year-old National Guard memos that turned out to be laughable fakes really matter in 2004? Maybe, maybe not, but the Dems sure seemed to want Bush's transcripts and ANG records.

    I don't think that's true. We've been through this before. I haven't yet seen Romney's transcript, and Google didn't immediately provide any links to it. Bush's we had only because someone (illegally) leaked it to the press. I don't believe we had McCain's, although we do know he graduated near the bottom of his class.

    Feel free to post links to any of those transcripts, though!

    A little history lesson might help. How do you think the Mormons ended up in Utah? And how about the govt. outlawing their cultural and religious tradition of plural marriage?

    How did they end up in Utah? Google "mormon trail" and read about how they were brutalized in the cities they lived and it turned into one of the worst forced marches in history.

    No I got it... he's receiving such a vastly higher number of death threats since before he was elected because he likes Basketball and is over 6' tall.

    sort of strange that someone could build up so much hate as to threaten to kill a person over that person liking hoops & being decent sized... but what else could it ever be?
