Impressive... *Not much compassion for Shirley Sherrod. Forced to resign in 60 seconds. Oops. Obrother didn't check the source.

I was just talking about tejek being a good guy. He has a good heart and is a smart guy. I have lived a long time and their are good guys and bad guys. You never noticed that? Tejek is a good guy. He cares about people. He worries about things like injustice and the poor and downtrodden. Not everyone does. And the danger to this country is coming from the large corporations, and the rich, not government. We are a democracy and we can vote out governments any time we want, but we have no control over corporations and they are increasingly buying our congressional representatives through huge campaign contributions and lobbbyists. Between 2002 and 2006, 2/3rds of all the increased wealth in the nation went to the top 1% of the richest people in the country because they can hire lobbyists to write tax codes favorable to themselves and the congressional people let them do that because of the campaign contributions. The poor cannot do that. And over the last 30 years the divide between the rich and poor has widen considerably. Much worse than most western democracies. Shamful.
