Good questions and points, Follies, but I think a much more important question is how much longer will the U.S. Constitution survive, or is it already effectively obsolete due to activist judges and a fraudulent president like Obama? The following article is rather alarming, but not surprising. Those who are less intelligent actually see food, education, and health care as entitlements. Leftists in government reinforce that perception and offer to meet such needs with Marxism. nytimes.com

Nigger is a racially charged word. It depends on who says it, and it's been that way for at least 50 years that I can remember. Richard Pryor and others used it all the time in their comedy routines, and it is used routinely today by blacks among blacks. If it is so horrible and racially charged, why do they continue to use it and flaunt it? I think it is a "red herring" and a perfect example of double standards. IMO, Honky/honkie as used by blacks against whites in hate crimes is just as bad, but I don't go around calling other people HONKY in a display of double standards.
