Sorry I haven’t read the book some of you folks worship, but I can claim to have read only one of his works, “What’s so Great about Christianity.” A decent and fine read, but I find him too much of a right wing ideologue to want to go further into what else he’s written.The point is making such judgmental comments when you’re not even familiar with the individual/work in question doesn’t even merit consideration. It’s just blind contrarianism.
Oh, a reader MUST agree with your impression of D’Souza?Because the implication is that Dinesh D’ Souza’s work is of negative value.
As I said, I don’t agree with his politics, nor do I “worship” his books. Grow up, Rich. Seriously. As I said, his politics don’t enter into the research he’s done on Obama. He lays out both his and Obama’s views clearly and any intelligent reader can see where the line is drawn. Believe it or not, it’s possible to separate fact from opinion in someone’s work! Not only that, it’s perfectly possible for someone to objectively present another’s views when they don’t share them.Sorry I haven’t read the book some of you folks worship, but I can claim to have read only one of his works, “What’s so Great about Christianity.” A decent and fine read, but I find him too much of a right wing ideologue to want to go further into what else he’s written.
No. But they MUST actually be a reader, which you have admitted that you are, in this case, not. Had you actually read the book, I would say you were perfectly entitled to your opinion. Seeing as you haven’t, your judgments are baseless and, thus, completely worthless.Oh, a reader MUST agree with your impression of D’Souza?
Rich why be so unnecessarily perjorative. Sometimes I think you deliberately say things to annoy people but it doesn’t make your argument any better. I think those who appreciate D’Souza have READ his books and found them interesting and enlightening. To say we ‘worship’ them is ridiculous.Sorry I haven’t read the book some of you folks worship, but I can claim to have read only one of his works, “What’s so Great about Christianity.” A decent and fine read, but I find him too much of a right wing ideologue to want to go further into what else he’s written.

Recently heard a note of irony that in watching the RNC someone might have thought it was the DNC because of the young and diverse group of speakers. Women and minorities in prominent positions, given leading roles. The pundit asked who is going to be speaking at the DNC to counter this.

Agreed, the Republicans really did have a nice lineup of speakers.I just don’t see how the head of Planned Parenthood will compete with Dr Condaleezza Rice!
Sadly, the Democratic has been going down this road for a long time. In 1992 pro-life Governor Casey wanted to present a minority plank on abortion to the convention, but was refused a speaking slot. Pro-life views are not welcome at Democratic Conventions.Democratic Convention Speakers List Includes No Pro lifers

Interesting about the Jumah being removed. I suspect it will still happen under the radar.

Their are pro life democrats and they are not given any voice in the platform or at the DNC. Why alienate so many people? I want democrats to explain, why Sandra Fluke, Cecile Richards, Nancy Keehan? War on women meme is tired and Obama is struggling with men in the pollsSadly, the Democratic has been going down this road for a long time.

Yes sounds like the same theme! I think we succeeded! Look at the “competition.”I heard that, on National journal

In that you are probably correct. However, I expect Bill to give enthusiastic support for the President…why? Because he is willing to overlook differences to achieve the greater goal.He’s probably taking one for the team.
The broadcast networks all limited their coverage and will do the same at the DNC. The cable networks, from my observation paid attention based largely on the notoriety of the individual and their political slant.And I thought it was remarkable that certain “news” networks cut away from coverage whenever any person from any minority group was speaking.
Their intention in inviting Clinton to speak is because he had a prosperous economy in the 1990s, they want that image transferred to Obama. It could create a negative in that people will compare Clinton’s presidency and his economy to that of Obama’s, and also the fact that Clinton has complimented Romney by saying his business record was sterlingYes sounds like the same theme! I think we succeeded! Look at the “competition.”
Democrats also have a diverse lineup, but their biggest stars are party elders: Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, former Ohio governor Ted Strickland…
Bill Clinton will be popular of course, but I understand Hillary Clinton is not speaking and may not be there? Wow that’s an interesting situation!
My theory is that The Big Dog will manage to get in a zinger or two. I don’t think there is any real love lost between the Clintons and Obama. An uneasy truce maybe. I don’t expect a full throated support by Clinton. He’s probably taking one for the team.

It could, but I think Bill will point out that the economy didn’t take off until his second term, after recovering from an inherited recession.It could create a negative in that people will compare Clinton’s presidency and his economy to that of Obama’s
