Don't count her out so fast. It would be just like either one of the political parties to circumvent the will of the people. The "good ol' boys" of the D party, the super-delegates, are very likely to fall into line and let the party elite, vs. the majority of the general membership, have the final word on the identity of the nominee. |

I believe it is correct his father was a Kenyan, but why anyone should give a damn about that is beyond me. |

Although the Muslim school was not a militant school and in the particular country where he lived at the time all public education was underwritten my the Islamic government. I guess that since some of the IRA bombers went to Catholic schools in Ireland we should suspect anybody who ever attended a Catholic school (or had an Irish name like McVeigh) of being a bomb thrower. Same logic. If there is anybody some members of the right wing are more predisposed to hate than a person of color it would have to be a Muslim. While Obama attends a Christian church, he is the son of a Muslim and that will certainly be close enough for jazz when the negative campaigning begins in earnest. I've heard more than one right wing radio host make a big deal about Obama's middle name, "Hussein." One day, I heard Rush simply referring to him as "Hussein Obama." I'm sure that's a very mild preview of what the right wing has in store for Obama should he be the final nominee. I'm old enough, as are many of us, to clearly remember all the folks who trashed John Kennedy for being Catholic. Not that Obama is a Kennedy in any sense; except that JFK could be an inspiring orator as can Obama. It's going to be a very UGLY campaign. Here's hoping the good folks on rec.boats don't get too heavily invested in the rhetoric and propaganda. |

If there is anybody some members of the right wing are more predisposed to hate than a person of color it would have to be a Muslim. Hate no, be weary of yes. Like communism Islam cannot reach its true potential unless it controls the world. The workers, living under the boot of communism, were told that they had to suffer for the good of all and fight to take communism to every land on the planet before the true benefits of communism can be reaped. Islam is much the same in that Islam wants to convert all non-Muslims or put them to death. The mullahs and imams have been telling their adherents this for over a thousand years. While Obama attends a Christian church, he is the son of a Muslim and that will certainly be close enough for jazz when the negative campaigning begins in earnest. We are electing the whole man and not just the secular part of the man to be president. Therefore, his religion is open for discussions. I've heard more than one right wing radio host make a big deal about Obama's middle name, "Hussein." One day, I heard Rush simply referring to him as "Hussein Obama."

We are selecting our leader for the next four years. Here's hoping the good folks on rec.boats don't get too heavily invested in the rhetoric and propaganda. It has already happened. Weren't you around in Nov. of 2000? |

I guess that since some of the IRA bombers went to Catholic schools in Ireland we should suspect anybody who ever attended a Catholic school (or had an Irish name like McVeigh) of being a bomb thrower. Same ?logic. If there is anybody some members of the right wing are more predisposed to hate than a person of color it would have to be a Muslim. While Obama attends a Christian church, he is the son of a Muslim and that will certainly be close enough for jazz when the negative campaigning begins in earnest. I've heard more than one right wing radio host make a big deal about Obama's middle name, "Hussein." One day, I heard Rush simply referring to him as "Hussein Obama." I'm sure that's a very mild preview of what the right wing has in store for Obama should he be the final nominee. I'm old enough, as are many of us, to clearly remember all the folks who trashed John Kennedy for being Catholic. Not that Obama is a Kennedy in any sense; except that JFK could be an inspiring orator as can Obama. It's going to be a very UGLY campaign. Here's hoping the good folks on rec.boats don't get too heavily invested in the rhetoric and propaganda. I've not heard Russ use that name for Obama.

You seem to say some pretty negative things about 'right wingers' above, Chuck. I doubt if I'm any more 'predisposed' to hate blacks than you are. I also doubt that I'm even more 'predisposed' to hate Muslims than you are. Which is why I directed my comment toward "some" right wingers. As it would be the right wing, not the left wing, that opposes Obama should he be nominated, the attitudes of that some portion of the right wing will be an issue. Some portion of the left wing is probably also prejudiced against a vairety of races and or religions. However, the left wing won't be campaigning against Obama - the right wing will. That makes the attitude of some right wingers pertinent to a discussion of the challenges Obama would face in the final stretch. But, I'm sure your post wasn't designed to inflame anyone's passions.

As I rapidly approach 70, I would like to shoot my age, but I don't think that's gonna happen. I tried golf a couple of times many years ago. I liked the walking around the golf course better than the golf. My uncle, who is now 91, took up golf in his 50's and got very good at it, especially after he retired to Boca Raton and played 18 holes almost every day. He played very well until a few years ago, but his arm strength has diminished some and now shoots his age. He was a "scratch" golfer for many years. The few times I have been fishing on Canadian lakes I enjoyed it immensely, even though I only caught a few fish. About five years ago, I went ice fishing with some buddies in the Thunder Bay area, and we did ok. Man, it was cold. I do a bit of freshwater fishing over in Virginia, for smallies, on very light tackle and from a canoe. It's great fun. We alternate between ultralight spinning tackle for smallies and fly fishing gear for trout. |

I don't know if John H is going to be happy or upset about your change of heart. As if I give a flying f*ch about Herring's happiness. I'm trying to talk my wife into accompanying me up to Bass Pro Shops near Baltimore today or tomorrow. It's a great store, as I am sure you must know, but the mall it is in, huge as it is, has very little to offer. I like the Bass Pro shop in Norfolk better, though. It seems to have more stuff and better clothing sales. But it is a three hour drive, and even I won't go that far for fishing gear. Aren't there enough local, non-mass merchant evil corporation, tackle shops in your area? |
