Jackson vs. Obama
There's no God-gap that's worth worrying about, whatever Barack Obama says. That, at least, is the implicit message of this ridiculous column by Jesse Jackson.
Instead, Republicans lost in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 because "the fix was in." Really. That's what Jackson says. And rather than reaching out to people of faith, those people instead should be made to realize that the Democrats are, in fact, doing a godly thing when it has the government takes money from one segment of society to give it to another. That's all there is to it.
How amazing (and pathetic) it is to hear such rhetoric from someone who is, at least nominally, a minister. Not only is it evident that Jesse Jackson is entirely out of new ideas -- the column also makes it crystal clear that his jealously and resentment of Barack Obama is such that he, as a clergyman, is willing to argue against reaching out to people that he should be seeing as potential members of his flock. And his party.

I try to avoid the good reverend when I see his byline in the Times. Reading now to follow Carol's thoughts was a painful reminder of why. When will the lefties get off this "stolen" election lie? And as Cliff suggested, giving to the poor is an individual responsibility. It's more efficient on the local level, and allowing the productive to be productive does more good for society than stealing money from the productive to give to those who could be working for the productive.
And ditzyhead,
Does Condi have the authority to change laws? This one has probably been in place for a while. Perhaps you should contact your elected reps (if you vote) and encourage them to have this law changed. Wait. I'm sorry. Your purpose is simply to blame every ill on this administration.
