| Obama's lack of understanding exposed again »
July 07, 2008 Voice of reason in DetroitKudos to Angelica Brown, a recent graduate of Mumford High School in Detroit and current summer apprentice at the Detroit Free Press, not for deciding to vote for John McCain per se, but for having actually done her own research and become an interested and informed citizen in order to help her decision to vote for McCain. Ms. Brown gets straight to the heart of the matter in one of the best lines from a very interesting column:
Once Ms. Brown is finished with her apprenticeship at the Free Press, perhaps she can just skip college and run for mayor of Detroit. Lord knows it is long past time someone with sense inhabited the post. |

Almost fell off my chair when I read this in the Freep/fishwrap this morning.The column was EXCELLENT.I would urge all who may be interested in reading her full piece go to www.freep.com/young voices. While this was an excellent article, I believe Ms.Brown's apprenticeship will be short-lived. Haven't seen ANYTHING in the Freep to lead me to believe they anything but totally in the tank for the empty suit.

I suggest you not only read the whole piece by this young lady, but also the comments left by readers. The majority of them are negative, and attack the writer as delusional, naive or just mixed up. If these people spent a fraction of the time it appears Angelica spent studying the issues we'd all be better off.

Many people fall prey to the: "Forget the truth and common sense. Just tell me what I want to hear" syndrome.
I suspect B.O. is an expert at selling snake oil and that's why he has so many cheer-leaders in his camp.

Angelica's opinions don't surprise me at all.
It's not the thoughtful educated thinking person that I fear this coming election cycle.
The truth is I have no real fear about Obama getting elected.
A certain part of me is saying, let's get it over with so we can come back to our senses. I know that's wrong but I'm immature at times.
Much more immature than Angelica, and I'm 54 years old.

Yes, the comments are sadly bilious. It is the classic Lefty response, as opposed to an answer.... You should be ashamed!!
What a joke. The Left has more blood, misery and deprivation on their collective hands than any other identifiable thing in human history. Shame for that is unknown but shame for fictional misdeeds by America is a sacrament scarcely to be discussed.
Kwame and Adolph?!??!?? Genius!
