I guess you'll never vote republican either or for hillary when she bends over for the religious vote.
The smartest thing I've ever seen you write on NT.... I didn't know you were capable of such an intelligent comment

For the majority of US history black people have been treated like second class citizens.
Only lately has it gotten substantially better. This really isn't an opinion either.
That's just what happened. The fact is many Americans (lately) believe that being patriotic means that one can never criticize their country or government and that one can't admit that things may be wrong.
These are the same people who make abortion and gay marriage major domestic issues. What are you going to do.

TIME Magazine
It was a moving moment in American history to hear a man who could be president dissect the rancorous matter of race with such candor, and it called to mind other piercing addresses by the likes of FDR, Kennedy and King.
The Chicago Sun-Times
When we think of words in politics or governance that had to be said, we think of the Gettysburg Address or Franklin Delano Roosevelt's admonition that all we had to fear was "fear itself." And now we think of Obama's speech on race - words that sorely needed saying.
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Inaugural addresses by Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt come to mind, as does John F. Kennedy's 1960 speech on religion, with its enduring vision of the separation between church and state. Senator Barack Obama, who has not faced such tests of character this year, faced one on Tuesday. It is hard to imagine how he could have handled it better.
New York Times
It was possibly the most important major speech on race in America since Dr. King died, and it probably saved Mr. Obama's candidacy.

So lets say someone wanted Obama but NOT Clinton (thats like 90% chance they are liberal, or moderate/liberal).....
