		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I bring up race and the Tea Party, or race and President Obama, or race and the angry opposition to the president, I'm often told, "Why bring race into this?"

I want to get into a long, rational discussion about race and how it has been the main antagonist (protagonist) in American politics basically since the country's inception.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ihatethegop.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4029225&amp;post=225&amp;subd=ihatethegop&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At one point in my life, the Los Angeles Times was the "It" paper for me. While The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal (the journalism section, not its editorial pages) set the standard for American journalism, I convinced myself that the LA Times wasn't too far behind.

I am convinced now.

The three major newspapers have learned how to use Web 2.0 -- blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr -- to push journalism to another level.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ihatethegop.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4029225&amp;post=219&amp;subd=ihatethegop&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Bush-Cheney administration used  9/11 as a pretext for many things, including an illegal war in Iraq, a way to increase domestic surveillance of Americans, and as an opportunity to test the limits of the Geneva Convention. They also failed by taking their eyes off of Bin Laden and al Qaeda and instead focusing them on Saddam Hussein and Iraq.

But was it a big conspiracy to get the United States into war in Afghanistan? I don't think so.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ihatethegop.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4029225&amp;post=208&amp;subd=ihatethegop&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama is such a great speaker and he delivered. His speech reached across party lines and he really made multiple efforts to hook Republicans into participating (nuclear energy, spending freeze, tax cuts). But he energized Democrats. I'm energized and I know other Democrats will be too. He gave the party some backbone and that's what was really needed. He reminded the party that they are the ones with major majorities in both houses of Congress. Act like it.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ihatethegop.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4029225&amp;post=186&amp;subd=ihatethegop&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
