    Bi-Racial President?

    By OrvilleRed  |  Posted January 20, 2009  
     

    Is it not true that the United States is a melting pot, people of every race, creed, color and religion? Are we to assume based on igorance that somehow there is a pure race that exists on the face of the planet? At what point will the bigotry cease? Will we hold fast to the bitter end and watch the rest of the world take our very lives and existence?

     

    It was Abraham Lincoln that said, "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country."
