Reply #35: I agree, I was driving the car listening to NPR's short report [View All]

[Tumbulu]

on the hearings screaming at that jerk Kyle who had the gaul to pick on this brilliant humble young future Supreme Court Justice (let's hope) when my 8 yr old daughter asked what I was screaming about. I tried to describe this hateful racism that the republican party encourages and cultivates and she proceeded to recite to me the last paragraph (from memory no less) from Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech. Which left me speechless with tears as it usually does.

I thank the heavens every day for Barack Obama and all the people who got him elected, and all the hope that he stands for, still.
