At Last
By Amit Singh | Monday, January 19th, 2009 | Policy
Whether you voted for him or not, Barack Obama is our president. Personally, I could care less that he was black but I understand the important milestone his inauguration represents and I hope his example serves as motivation for all Americans to live the dream of being judged by the content of their character. Watching Kal Penn on Larry King last night, I think he said it well that our generation lives in a post-racial world and perhaps I will never realize how wonderful that truly is.
I know I will not agree with many of Obama’s initiatives and I will make my thoughts known the most constructive ways I know how. But I wish him and his family well and hope all of his positive characteristics will benefit our country because we have so many problems to address, both foreign and domestic. Good Luck Mr. President.

While I agree that the election of a black man (or at least a man of mixed race) as President is an important milestone, I think those gushing that we now live in a post racial world are getting carried away with things.
As I travel around the nation, all too often I am witness to continued racism.
I think we have come a long, long way, and have no doubt that things will continue to improve as time passes; however I believe we still have much distance to travel before we arrive at the post racial world.
The dotcom bubble burst. The real estate bubble burst.
The Obama bubble will burst.
Brian,
You forgot to include that the Dubyah bubble burst. It burst for me after one term in office, but I am a quick learner.
One day the idea that bubbles are random fluctuations, not the result of concerted meddling by Illuminati, will burst. Then you all will realize that 10 percent of the population who control 90 percent of the world actually get together and talk about how to best manipulate the masses. They are damn good at it too. Ignorance or evil? All the facts point to evil, else how did these people get so powerful to begin with? Our best and brightest are not capable of this level of incompetence, hence evil aims are the only motives.
My issue here is that the black community is not treating society as if it now in a post racial day in age. All they can talk about it is black this black that. Every bit of media has focused on him being black. That is unAmerican.
Max Shapiro,
You are starting to really irritate me. You are in favor of every conspiracy theory that crosses your path.
Should we take into consideration the conspiracy theories? Yes. But when we are faced with someone who thinks every conspiracy theory is truth we are starting to get into problem areas.
Do you get my point Max?
David, Max hasn’t learned that most of government is too incompetent to succeed in actually accomplishing a tenth of his conspiracy theories.
Max probably thinks the schools were closed today to boost ratings for B. Hussein’s Immaculation.
You guys are funny, thinking the Illuminati are fake. Let me give you a quick run down.
All orgaizations in this world run off off hidden knowledge. You go to school to learn, join the military to learn, join the masons to learn, get a job to exercise what you have learned and then learn more to move up the ladder. Once you get past the intitial stages you are a learned one and have authority over others who are less learned. You learn more and eventually make it to the top which has fewer people than the bottom parts. The shape this creates is a pyramid. Now society has hundreds of sub-units operating as such and when you arrange them all in a circle you get a pie shape. Now we all know there is cooperation in the world, but it is normally and almost exclusively on the higher levels of society. You rarely see the grunts communicating with other grunts to make every day society run, you see the managers, upper and middle make the decisions. Now you have the lower rungs/outside of the pie constantly struggling against each other to obtain jobs, material objects, land, resources, etc. The people at the slightly higher levels are managing these people trying to keep them in check within their own organizations while trying to keep the peace amongst the different organizations through cooperation. This keeps the outer two layers of the pie occupied. The innermost layers, the illuminated (means the same as highly educated, brilliant) work together to achieve their ends by manipulating the outer layers, pitting them against each other in various ways in order to maintain relative order.
CFR, Bilderbergers, UN, IMF, Bank of International Settlements, the CFR’s counterpart in Britain,the Round Table Groups, and many other organizations are all made up of members from the highest orders of business, politics, and finance. These people work together to achieve their own means, which if you look at the world today are quickly being realized.
Now you can say I subscribe to every conspiracy theory, but this is not true. I acknolwedge that most conspiracy theories have merit in the sense that serious questions remain unanswered in regards to crucial events in human history. The mainstream theories are certainly wrong, the conspriacy theories are probably wrong as well. That does not change that what we are told is a lie. I have my own theories supported by more research than you ignorant fools could acknowledge because of the subliminal bigotry that exists because of our corrupt society.
You all laugh all you want, but never has anyone on these forums ever once even meagerly attempted to disprove anything I have ever said that could be classified as a conspiracy theory. So on that note, you all are fools.
Max, I could say Pluto is made of whitefish salad, and you couldn’t disprove it.
Yeah I could, its called a spectrograph. You can take the light emitted from any object and calculate its chemical composition. Wonderful what you can do with science. In fact the US can cause earthquakes and manipulate the weather. It is called HAARP, its in Alaska, it is a giant reverse radio teloscope that turns the ionosphere into high energy plasma. Google it and the read some Tesla’s papers. He created the math to manipulate the weather a century ago.
Oh, and I have talked to several Naval Intelligence Officers (ret.) at fundraisers and other functions, all confirmed what I have said, all were very scared when I mentioned it. A high up at L3 Communication (defense contractor) confirmed its existence as did a former CO of Oceana.

Brian,
A little green man visited me last night. He told me that Max Shapiro is in fact a covert representative of the little red men that are fixing to invade us.
Max Shapiro is in fact part of the conspiracy of little red men that will attempt to subject us to their injustice. All of those of us in favor of the justice promised by the little green men need to rise up.
