    The biggest difference between Americans and Canadians is that Americans put ketchup on everything and Canadians put mayonnaise on everything.

    It's not hard to assimilate to either region, thus subtle differences.

    Any policy he has that panders to the "free market" whereby that market has been dictated and pushed by straight, rich, white, men's interests (which is essentially his whole economic policy) is inherently racist. On its surface they seem "fair", but you're giving centuries of unfairness and those that benefit a HUGE head start on anyone else who wants to enter the free market. People who look at the small shifts that have benefitted minorities over the last 40 years for better and worse, and for progress and regress and say "all right we've done enough let's play on the free market" are not looking at the overwhelming evidence that demonstrates that this is a fallacy. Continuing down this road with a populace that is dominated by rich white men's interests, beliefs and so on will lead to greater inequality. Yes, one who believes in this threads namesakes' hopes, can hide behind the suggestion that his policy's are "fair" but that has no relation to reality.

    Thus, any non-white left to operate in a free market is automatically disadvantaged. Wow. Wow. Wow. Who's racist?

    According to OWS, Obama's decisions have pondered to rich, straight, white, males (not sure if redheads w/ freckles are included or not :think: ).

    So what is the difference? The Man is always going to be The Man in your eyes. Since you're still feeling so much white guilt, Obama has not done a damn thing. What difference will Ron Paul make?

    don't think RW is a ron paul supporter ...

    i totally agree with RW on what he is trying to get across but i liken it to trying to explain the root cause of terrorism to folks ... people do not want to hear these viewpoints and instead of trying to dissect it - most dismiss it as absurd ... which is what is basically happening ...
