1. This what I said "I've been watching both races very closeley. I am a Obama supporter, but from the GOP side... I liked McCain to start with"
- I never said I was of the GOP party, I simply said in other words I support Obama, I were to vote for a republican it would be McCain" however, my favorablity among rebulican candidate McCain has diminished - You are misreading my quote just like my name.
2. Columbus was italian ... but sailed for Spain... So this can be debated to if he had citizenship with Spain or not.. Point remains the same that there is a holiday for a person who was "italian, german..." as stated up above. To debate if he was a murderer... Why debate it is true. We have a holiday that celebrates a murderer who knew he did not discover america...The king knew about America. He was also a theif. Research the about the real Christopher Columbus and the things that were going on at that time.
3. As far as health care .. I meant health coverage which I corrected later. And many people are denied the health care they need.
4. The GOP tax plan is liberal if it calls for terminating the existing tax plan.
5. Obama's plan is not a fully universal plan... It provides insurance to those who do not have it...
6. It would assit small business because many them are not able to afford the current plans available to them because of their low # of employees.
7. Colonialism in Africa has sucked the content dry. There are a few reasons for war there. Wars for contol of resources to sell to west, religious wars, genetic wars, wars for control of food. Europe has exploited Africa for centuries.
8. Racism is a national problem.. Obama would change some peoples beliefs about race, he would actively try to find ways to unite us all. He would change perceptions that a black person is unable to reach the highest level of office which some people still believe.
9. As far as the sharecropping thing.. I left a response that you could not, did not respond to. Sharecropping was just an adaptation of slavery after the war. It served the same purpose even though blacks were able to go as they pleased... they were tied to the land, lived on the land. Look into it more.
10. The power struggle b/w two opposing forces is the same regardless of who you think is right. Both sides have the mindset that they are doing the right thing. If we were russian we would feel exactly how we feel as americans.. just on different sides.
11. Read the Bible and you will see that he was considered a radical (heretic) among Jewish leaders at that time. Remember when he went into the Temple and called all the rabbis and leaders out and tossed things around...John 2:13-16.. The jewish leaders wanted to kill Jesus and plotted to do so... Caphius saw Jesus as a threat to the existing religious order.
As far #7 the west (U.S and Europe) I can further expand on this if you would like. I have some info I can share... but here is a little conflicts and wars played the most important role in all analysed television stations in Britain, Germany and the United States. But subtracting from this coverage Iraq and Afghanistan, only 0.2% (n=507) of all reports (N=23587) focused on conflicts in Africa. You can equate what is going in with Africa as WWIII. In Angola alone 500,000 people have been killed since 1989.
