just another left over liberal trying to make pople beleive her crap. Obviously an Obama supporter and fawning over him. When he makes his I have a dream speech it will be to some group in the ghetto, not from the White House. Am also sure Mary Lyon, like Obama, belives in reparation for slavery, even though since Lyndon Johnson we have spent tens of billions on black people and nobody living ever saw a slave.
What nonsense.

  Mary Lyon sounds like a wonderful lady and wonderful human being.
  Liberals - it is a fine word describing people who think of people other than themselves. I doubt that she believes in reparation for slavery, I don't believe in reparation for slavery but if it ever is discussed it can only come as a debt to the people who owned slaves not the rest of us - most of us who were not even in this country at that time.
  I hope all those who are for the war - which has created a maelstrom of activity for inciting fundamentalism and terrorism consider enlisting- you k now put your money where your mouth is.
  Good luck.

      "With other people's money"
      
      What a joke.
      
      Only conservatives pay taxes, eh? Only conservatives get to decide what a proper use of their tax dollars is?
      Off the high horse, time to realize you aren't the only one paying for the betterment of the country as a whole and just because you don't use the resources we provide for the less fortunate doesn't mean the resources shouldn't be offered.

        I don't use the resources provided to the less fortunate, because I am busy helping to provide those resources. It is my belief that the majority of those receiving these resources are to lazy or drugged up to get off the butts and contribute to their on support. I am not talking about the family who has just been laid off, or the ederly lady trying raise a grandchild. I am talking about the 25 yr old women with 4 kids and live in boyfriend who excepts foodstamps, welfare, and free medical. No where in our constitution is it written that they have the right to sit on the butt while the rest of us support them.

  Nice commentary. I see you really tried to keep the racism out of it, though you weren't very good at it. We have also spent billions of dollars on welfare for white people and brown people.
  As far as nonsense is concerned yours is some best I have read. I am truly amazed at the ignorance and stupidity that lives in this country. Can some of you fools not realize that we are all human beings? Same planet same origin, whether you believe God created it all or you believe in evoloution. Either way we are all from the same place.
  The fact is if a whole lot of people didn't think as you do we might have less of the "ghetto groups".
  Just exactly makes you think you are all that special? Money? Power? Social Position? Just realize that we all wind up the same way. And all your money possesions or power will not make you any better than the lowest maid or gardener. Quit putting on airs and try to find some time to think about being human instead of looking down on others who may be less fortunate than you.
  To put it crudely I would say "You Suck" Clear enough?

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Agreement is not a prerequisite for participation or friendship, as Ed Murrow and Bill Buckley said.
    
    Even cursory notice reveals "liberal," yes, small "l," decisions tend to benefit the most women, men and children at the least cost. A free primary and high school education increased the quality of the US workforce. This allowed the US to expand it's economy and standard of living, dramatically. Yes, there are ups and down, but the drift is to better and better.
    
    The conservative, yes, a small "c," would have any education, at all, paid for at free-market prices. This would assure only the wealthy or extremely fortunate would learn reading, 'riting and 'rithmatic. Where would the US economy be if that were the norm?
    
    If you listen, to Obama, you'll hear that he's hardly liberal. Centrist, maybe, but more of the same is his plan. Behind a sympathetic facade, rather than the totalitarian harshness, of today, Obama assures more of the same, and it ain't liberal. Although I'm a hard-core liberal, I doubt if Obama can beat McCann, in the rush for the centre.

      You're probably right.

      "A free primary and high school education increased the quality of the US workforce."
      
      Education is not free, we all pay for it. Public education today is a joke and is so much more expensive than when I went to public school in the 1940's and 50's. My Sons went to public (mostly) and private schools. Thank God for private schools which are much better and far less costly than the taxes I paid for public schools.
      
      Everyone learns the 3 R's in school, hopefully even in public schools. It's all a matter of studying and taking it seriously.
      
      Obama is hardly centrist. He was rated the most liberal of all 100 senators, even beating Ted Kennedy for that honor. Perhaps he is changing a little now to appear more like McCain. I wouldn't count on that change to last though.
