The question is how to best move toward the fully realized hope. On the left, we have Cornell West. On the right we have Col. West. Not a difficult choice, for me at least.

This constant criticizem serves to further divide, not unite. When will we ever pay for sins we never committed? How can the left ever be made happy? When there is one party? Only one vision? There are countries that have such a system. But the funny thing is, everyone wants to come here to live. At least for now they do. That may change. Then there will be nowhere to escape to!Mike Zelenaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791027457544564287.post-32795035109934253802013-03-18T20:10:23.959-04:002013-03-18T20:10:23.959-04:00None of these people mis-speak.

So glad there are vigilant 'mis-speak' catchers out there who are willing to post on blogs, tweets, FB, etc. (P.S. Carl so glad you are posting again. Missed your assessments of current events.)Gra*ma Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678118339441391470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791027457544564287.post-1869711422176313032013-03-18T13:57:29.663-04:002013-03-18T13:57:29.663-04:00Now, Finally, Alan West's "mis-speak"...Now, Finally, Alan West's "mis-speak" was simply this: West said the Republic he loves does not know prejudice, and cited Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall who spoke of a "Constitution that was color blind, that neither knows nor tolerates classes among its citizens."<br /><br />That quote comes DIRECTLY from Associate Justice on the Supreme Court John Marshall HARLAN! Alan West’s mis-speak was simply giving credit to a different Court Justice. Easy enough to do considering ALL the mis-speaks of Joe Biden and Barack Obama I would think.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
