virginius "gin" arnold

                 

Gin Arnold is a 67 year old liberal living in Orange Beach, Al a nest of Republicans. Somebody has to do it. I have owned several businesses, lived aboard a 32 foot sailing yacht, been a bar tender, boat captain, short order cook, and imported furniture from Indonesia for some 15 years. I am a strong supporter of President Obama, Roe V Wade, universal health care, and withdrawal from Iraq.

8 Bush Years, 8 Obama Months
(10 comments) They are ancient cultures, numerous belief systems, put a lot of value on “face” and feel America is a bully and have no respect for their culture. If we are to gain anything in Afghanistan, it will be by “winning over” the local's one village at a time. The Obama Administration knows this, as does Gen. McCrystal.

Ignorance has Always Been Manipulated by Special Interests
(4 comments) These are the same people that are quick to show up at rallies, and the same that burned people up in Salem. It reminds me of the slogan of the United Negro College Fund, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste” and we seem to have an ample supply of minds to waste.

Dear David Brooks

May we all celebrate Dr. Kings day and January 20th a day in history
There is no doubt that history is about to be made and what part in it to we wish to play. Today we celebrate Dr. King and tomorrow the first Black American President. No matter how cynical one may be, this time in history will be remembered forever.

I have voted against "conspiracy thinking" but Mr. M may be right and I may be wrong

Could Ronald Reagan Win?
I think we are all spending too much time on Gov. Palin and I fully believe that the map is now in the control of Obama. Beside this fact, the race is between Obama/McCain.

Are we that cynical?
(7 comments) This could be the most important election in our country's history and certainly unique. Barack Obama and Sarah Palin have focused the nation on our prejudices concerning race and gender. Will the country become more divided after Nov. 7 or will we enter a time of progressive change?
