- Go to We Need To Make Sure Jobs Don't Go to "white Male Construction Workers":???
A Cuban perspective from an older emigre I met at a party last summer
She drew many parallels between Obama's rise to power and Castro's, like the indefiniteness of the change promoted, the emphasis on Battista/Bush rather than his own objectives and the hero-worship. There was much more, but this is just what I remember from what she said and her worry about having to flee another Communist dictator.

RSM....
There’s your brave new post-racial world for you.
Remember now, it’s not about heppin po folks…
It’s about punishing the folks who
made them po...
At least that's their perception.....and their justification.

Cheer up xeno and look around you. Most construction workers are Latin. That should make you happy.
But what I really want is for you to live in a non-white neighborhood. And if you already do, enjoy yourself, but please allow some of us to remain in our nice safe low crime white areas.

Re: I SEE WHAT YOUWANT - -YOU WANT THESE PEOPLE TO REMAIN IN
Why do you seem to be a South hater? Why do you hate white people from the South? Oh, that's right, you are a liberal elitist hippie from the 60's. Have you looked around lately or are you still trapped in the 60's. Folks, when you read blogs or comments from Xeno, you will see what happens after years of pot smoking. Your mind erodes. I am tired of your bashing comments against the South. It shows a lot of ignorance on your part.

Re: I THINK FINALLY THE TIME HAS ENDED WHEN WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH
Put up with someone's thinking? You actually said that?! You actually think by having some liberal dumbass in the white house gives you some authority to say that to somone of conservative thought? I believe from the election results that 56,888,006 U.S. citizens voted for McCain and you tell this blogger:
"I really think most Americans no longer think like you."
"Too many have died needlessly" as you say, funny how you would never hear a liberal say this about the unborn who are aborted everday. Your liberal mind is sick and will ba battled everyday by conservatives so if you think we will stop now, ha, we're just reloading, boy!
I think you are wrong there obamamite! You know what you can do with those liberal hippie beliefs from the 60's!

Oh we sure wouldn't want America to have anything close to that socialist,
..Canadian system of health care!! Why people might actually get treated for their ailments on an equal level. People would never be turned away because they couldn't pay...babies would thrive, old people would be cared for..those in need would be treated on demand. You certainly wouldn't want that.

the ghetto -- and make their money by selling drugs.
You don't want them having good jobs with good benefits.
This is the basic mindset of too many whites. We don';t need to give them an equal education. We don't want them to have good jobs. And certainly don't give them welfare. I guess you just want to starve them out.
You've got a good southern mindset, for sure.

thinking like yours.
I really think most Americans no longer think like you.
On health care, for instance, most us recognize the need for a system of health care that includes everybody. Too many have gone sick and have died needlessly. An overall system will end up being cheaper than what we have now. We all pay for those who can't pay anyway through higher medical bills -- and doctors are not free to treat as they please -- it has to be within the purview of HMO's and for-profits medical organizations such as Tenet. A good system will alleviate the difficulties now suffered in health care.
You know, I remember when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. marched and preached for equality of races -- he was labeled a Communist, and even investigated by the FBI. You know, you sound just like Dr. King's opponents of the 60's -- we don't want equality of the races, now do we? That would be so Communistic and so Socialistic.
