There&#8217;s been an online battle waged among Obama supporters over whether or not African American pastor/gospel singer Donnie McClurkin should be allowed to perform in South Carolina concerts supporting the Obama campaign. The reverend is a &#8220;former gay&#8221; who believes God can &#8212; and should &#8212; cure homosexuals of their ills.

The American GOP Forum at Morgan State in Baltimore. A chance for Republican presidential wannabes to strut their stuff for a largely African American audience in attendance &#8212; and with, maybe, hundreds of thousands more courtesy of PBS, who televised the debate.

My family, branches both here in South Carolina and in Virginia, were plantation owners; cotton and tobacco growers who bought and sold people, broke families and bodies and spirits for profit.

		<description><![CDATA[Barack Obama says it best: There are no good options in Iraq, only bad ones and worse ones.
Then there&#8217;s the worst one. The Decider-in-Chief laid it on the line for us last night.  We&#8217;ve gone from Operation Enduring Freedom to Operation Enduring Bleed&#8217;em. A stay-the-course &#8220;enduring relationship with our ally&#8221; while they fight off Al [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=baracktheyouthvote.wordpress.com&blog=769267&post=198&subd=baracktheyouthvote&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Actor/lawyer/former Tennessee Senator Fred Dalton Thompson is off and running. In it to win it. The collective conservative sigh of relief was explosive [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=baracktheyouthvote.wordpress.com&blog=769267&post=196&subd=baracktheyouthvote&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Even with his approval ratings in the basement&#8211;right under the sump pump&#8211; we shouldn&#8217;t be jumping to conclusions about what a disaster the Bush years at the helm have been.

Greek prefixes, Greek root-words: &#8220;demos&#8221; (people), &#8220;kratos&#8221; (power).  Power to the people. What a word! What a concept! What&#8217;s not to like?
