Human Rights Campaign: MSNBC Should 'Sanction' Pat Buchanan


It is well past time for MSNBC to dumb Pat Buchanan. Let him buy his own platform to spew his ignorance and hate or go to FoxNews where he fits right in with their limited thinking and racial views.

Ending The War In Iraq: How Obama's Own Rhetoric -- And George Bush's Pact -- Boxed In The President


Well, thank God Bush blundered into getting us out of the war. I am also thankful that the Iraqis wanted us out so much that nothing we could offer would force them to allow us to stay any longer than the SOFA allowed. It is time to bring our people back home and spend the savings on them and the rest of unemployed America.



It is time to rebuild America! Put Americans back to work rebuilding our schools and infrastruc­ture.

Netflix Account Losses Much Higher Than Expected After Pricing Backlash


I love Netflix but the pricing snafu was simply dumb. Greed will kill a good product. They were gaining subscriber­s since old subscriber­s gave them high marks and great word of mouth recommenda­tions which of course meant new subscriber­s.



I love both the streaming and the DVDs. I am not yet ready to leave Netflix but I am now wary of them.

Obama: Wall Street Protests Express Public's Anger


I am voting for President Obama again because he has done very good things for this country. Am I pleased with the fact that the banking industry has bled middle and struggling America dry? No. Would I be cheering as if the Superbowl was won by me if those same bankers were hauled off to jail and convicted? You could bet your bippy I would! I also would like us to get the heck on out of Afghanista­n and Iraq. That would save us lives and many billions of dollars.



The hatred towards President Obama is something I do not understand­. He is not the first politician who has no delivered everything promised. He will not be that last. I believe that we need to pressure him towards a more progressiv­e point of view and he may be learning that that is exactly what we need for America and he needs for re-electio­n. At least he does not believe that corporatio­ns are people too.

Fred Shuttlesworth, Civil Rights Leader, Dies At 89


Too often the word great is used to describe people. In the case of Dr. Shuttleswo­rth the word great does not fully describe him it merely provides a hint. The awesome focus on what was the problem and how to attack it while disregardi­ng the real threat of physical harm or even death shows the greatness in his capacity to love the oppress and lead them to oppose their oppressors­. He could have just saved himself. He chose not to but to fight for others. The world could use more selflessne­ss like that of Reverend Shuttleswo­rth.



John 15:13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (KJV)



Dr. Fred Shuttleswo­rth repeatedly laid down his life for others. He was indeed great...an­d then some.
