The point I was attempting to make was to take license with the term in order to link civil rights and the civil war. The idea of introducing new borders to 'solve' ideological rifts is not as smart as it sounds. Obama ought to be sensitive to that. Pat:

It seems like he has been letting slip comments that acknowledge the hectoring of Hannity and others, has chosen the attack dog in a gesture that means he intends to fight. So much for transendence and change! -I don't think he can fight his way into the white house, though it will make for a rousing pep rally this week. And shame on Obama for lauding the proponent of seperate-but-equal partition for Iraq. That idea was rejected here, from within, by Abraham Lincoln. How obnoxious is it for a cowboy like Biden to push it from without? In choosing Biden, the bringer of change shows a brittle side.

I think that Biden may have been picked as a sop to the feminists, since even Obama isn't dumb enough to select Hillary!. Biden has been a prime mover for VAWA legislation - possibly the biggest cash cow for feminists ever. Whether it will be enough is hard to say - I tend to doubt it since they had a candidate who could pass the physical.

We've had whole summer to be stunned, day-in and day-out, at Obama's credentials and "friends" he hangs out with and his militant wife Michelle. The New Yorker Magazine cover nailed it! Do you really think that "thinking" Americans are going to hand over this great country, to that no drilling, infantacide killing, open border, terrorist sympathizer, hate-filled bigot reverand loving, high taxing, gun controlling, no national defense UN loving, socialized medicine boondoggle loving pussy democrat lawyer in charge? Barak Milhous Obama and America-is-mean-hating Michelle will be defeated in larger numbers than McGovern! They are examples of Affirmative Action all gone wrong. Even MoDo knew it was all over when she saw Obama implode at Saddleback. There is a God, and he's still on the side of the Right in America.
