It's really stupid. He reads all this stuff into Obama based on stuff like, "He called the book 'Dreams FROM My Father' rather than 'Dreams OF My Father' for a reason!"

But I unfortunately have had run-ins with people who have who have argued about it with me. Including a complete stranger who saw me reading Dreams From My Father while watching my daughter play at the McDonald's PlayPlace.

Now I read on a Kindle so people can't see what I'm reading.

Get a Barf Bag

http://www.hoover.org/about/mission-statement

"This Institution supports the Constitution of the United States, its Bill of Rights and its method of representative government. Both our social and economic systems are based on private enterprise from which springs initiative and ingenuity.... Ours is a system where the Federal Government should undertake no governmental, social or economic action, except where local government, or the people, cannot undertake it for themselves"

WHAT A PHILOSOPHY----

If the "People" can provide table scraps for the poor government should stay out of the problem

Personally, I am thankful when I remember that America is big enough to totally ignore idiot assholes like Dinesh D'Souza.

but it's certainly a vile thing to say.

Of course, deleting it doesn't necessarily mean he now agrees it shouldn't have been said. He may just think that too many of us "can't handle the truth".

I'm thinking he needs to donate 5% of his annual income to the United Negro College Fund in Trayvon's name to show some real regret.

But still to delete it is better than letting it stand.

and also the empowerment of nasty people like D'Souza who apparently is grown-up Adam Lanza.

Or are all black men just variations on some hidden (or surface) theme and I didn't get the memo?

Hope he is rewarded with a pink slip, but somehow I think he'll use this as a stepping stone in his career.
