Funny thing is, so many people like this Kristof guy are always telling us how that the rest of the world knows more about Americans than Americans know about the rest of the world because, unlike Americans, the rest of the world is more open minded.<BR/><BR/>Who cares what people in China think? This election is about more than feeling good and impressing communists in China. The fundamental and uniquely American economy and culture are at stake and I'm not talking about racism. I am talking about the very essence of American culture that gives us the ability to move on and grow beyond things like racism. If Obama becomes president, that aspect of "Americana" will be threatened. His entire platform is based upon the haves and have nots and the whites against the blacks and the rich against the poor and the greedy against the needy.<BR/><BR/>That's not what America is about. There is no caste system in America regardless of what Obama/Wright might say. I'm afraid we will be closer than ever to establishing one if Obama is elected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-51388526998367411012008-10-23T19:26:00.000-04:002008-10-23T19:26:00.000-04:00I hadn't heard of Altgeld Gardens, but I looked it...I hadn't heard of Altgeld Gardens, but I looked it up and it IS an interesting story.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about Bill Cosby, although I think Cosby's offered advice that would be well to be taken across all ethnic lines.<BR/><BR/>If more people would just take the kind of common sense approach to making their own lives better, the kind offered by Walter E Williams, Tom Sowell and Bill Cosby, we'd all be better off.JMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281344324964417974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-86021770709952614112008-10-23T16:59:00.000-04:002008-10-23T16:59:00.000-04:00Well, leaving how contrived and patently paternali...Well, leaving how contrived and patently paternalistic ("the great white Liberal Kristof enlightening his ignorant "Beijing friend") that alleged exchange is, <BR/><BR/>No matter what, Kristol was shoving O down the throats of NYT readers. <BR/>My god, Obama has none NOTHING for blacks. Has anyone heard of Altgeld? It was the new housing he pushed for then ignored it. Now the residents live in virtually the same crumbly slums as they were before O showed up. THAT's why I won't vote for the dude. Bill Cosby has done more for blacks than him.<BR/><BR/>Thank you :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
