Catholics will be more prone to vote for a Catholic for President, Italians will be more prone to vote for an Italian, etc. I don't ascribe to this, but I don't think any and all such predilections are necessarily inappropriate. I see it as an extension of familial love, and a family will probably vote for their parent/sibling/child even if they disagree with them. What do you think Aaron?Jim S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15538540873375357030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044318176622758692.post-55502877994431913252012-08-29T13:10:21.969-04:002012-08-29T13:10:21.969-04:00I was and still am a huge fan of Herman Cain. Not...I was and still am a huge fan of Herman Cain. Not because he is black, but because he said a ton of stuff that made a ton of sense and stuff that I agreed with. Now whether he was ready to run or not, we never got the chance to really know because the media made sure he wouldn't get the chance with a bunch of unsubstantiated rumors. If another person comes along who has the same stuff that Herman Cain had...I'd still be pushing for them regardless to whatever race or sex that person is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044318176622758692.post-82722927887672353102012-08-29T12:55:26.518-04:002012-08-29T12:55:26.518-04:00Liberals are prone to give in to racist and anti-s...Liberals are prone to give in to racist and anti-semitic beliefs particularly because they believe that they are incapable of holding racist and anti-semitic beliefs. Believing certain lies is the litmus test for liberals (lies such as: abortion does not involve killing a human being). Believing a lie is a dangerous proposition.Gunganoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044318176622758692.post-65193050081294046232012-08-29T12:26:14.427-04:002012-08-29T12:26:14.427-04:00This was a GREAT piece.

You have put so eloquently what I have been trying to articulate for the past almost 4 years (and even more when speaking of affirmative action, hate crimes, etc.). What I especially fear is exactly what you state: that white people (or others) won't vote for a qualified black president due to the divisiveness of this administration and it's liberal supporters. Thank you for giving voice to such an important topic.Stephanienoreply@blogger.com
