I touched on this earlier but I'm not sure what I was trying to say came out right.

Racism is alive in this country (if anything needs a "death panel" it's racism and bigotry in general). We're lucky we live in areas that it is not experienced to the blatant extent that it is elsewhere.

Do I think everyone who opposes Obama is a racist? Absolutely not.

Do I think some people are opposing Obama based solely upon his race? Yup.

Do I think they are in the majority? No.

Do I think the extremists who oppose him based upon fear mongering are in the majority? Sort of. They are the vocal majority but I don't think they are the true majority of opposition. I wish that the non-extremists who oppose Obama's plan would speak up in a rational manner and silence the vocal extremists.

Extremists hurt causes on both sides of the fence.

I really fear we are going to be a country divided, forever. Acting like children when our candidate doesn't win, throwing a vocal tantrum, counting down until the next election forever. Behavior like this doesn't help anyone, or the country. I completely believe that if a Republican wins the next election the "left" will be behaving just as bad as the "right" is now.
