Is race a factor in Health Care reform?

Race seems to always be a touchy subject on my blog. This is due partly because there is a wide variety of perspectives, ideologies, and theologies coming together to dialogue, which I think is a good thing.  Rather than avoiding it, I think continual dialogue is needed.  So I thought this video of Tim wiseContinue reading “Is race a factor in Health Care reform?”

Another perspective on Obama’s reforming of Health Care

Just wanted to share this article I read about Obama’s  failure to follow through on his original promises for Health Care that he got elected for.  And it leaves me thinking, when it comes to Health Care, are we our brothers keeper?  I have health care coverage, but should I fight to make sure thatContinue reading “Another perspective on Obama’s reforming of Health Care”

Rather than “sharing the wealth” as some suggest, they prefer a more pure capitalism,Continue reading “Trickle Down”

Rush Limbaugh… Need I say more!

If only Michael Steele and other republican leaders would stop cowarding down to Rush, they could begin reforming and repairing this party that once stood for equality, freedom, justice, and affirmative action (a long time ago).  Conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter (and all of Fox News) exist because they are a reflection ofContinue reading “Rush Limbaugh… Need I say more!”
