However, I understand you want to berate Mrs. Loesch for the fact she was a “Journalism school dropout”. However, I can see that she has a a husband, children, and most importantly a job that she enjoys. It is also a job that pays. I am not sure what you do, but I would rather be in Mrs. Loesch’s position than have no job.

Also, while I am firmly intent on going to college, I reject this idea that if you’re not a college graduate you cannot be a functioning member of society. Like I said, Mrs. Loesch seems better off than the 23 million Americans who don’t have a job, and she didn’t even graduate college!

If I remember correctly, a sweep is when you win everything. However, the Republicans maintained the majority in the House. So, you’re assessment of “sweep” is wrong.
The Electoral College is important to our country. Of course, it sounds great when you say that Obama won by 100 electoral votes. However, when you look at the percents Obama got 50.8% while Romney got 47.5%. It looks to me that our nation is split down the middle.

The fact is that “freedom vs. free stuff” is exactly what this election was about. Romney put forth an idea to help job creators. It cut taxes (for everyone, by the way!) so that people could hire. Now, thanks to Obama and the Democrats, taxes go up. Even ignoring the fiscal cliff, taxes go up. It’s called Obamacare!

There was one thing you said that really irked me “Romney’s offer of an across the board tax rate reduction greatly benefits the rich (free money)”. However, it was mostly your using the words “free money”. Can you explain to me how keeping more of the money you earned is a bad thing? You quality as one of the people who are the problem today. You have this sense of entitlement. Why are you entitled to the money of others? You’re not. That tax cut (which would have affected everyone) isn’t giving anyone “free money”. It’s letting people keep more of what THEY MADE so that they can create more jobs. What you and organizations like MoveOn.org are promoting is that the wealthy should pay more because it’s their “fair share”, and so that the money can go to entitlement programs. However, I think that the economy would be best served if those who were wealthy kept their money so that they could hire people and help the economy, and not have the government trying to do it.

I don’t have as much respect for Mrs. Loesch’s work. That you’re able to keep even with her quality of thought is both a compliment to the quality of what you do, and an indication that she isn’t all that. She’s a 34 year-old professional, but also a Journalism school dropout, and to me it shows.

1. How can you respect a writer who can’t be bothered to do basic fact-checking? As of today, the totals in the House are 234 (R) to 195 (D), with 6 races still outstanding. The previous Congress was 242 (R), 193 (D). I’m sorry. That’s not a pickup of seats. Republicans lost seats in both houses of Congress, and the race for President by more than 100 Electoral votes. Fine, don’t call it a mandate. It’s a clean sweep.

2. Regarding her point #2, the opposition of Governors to implementing Obamacare will have an effect in those states opposite to the one they desire. It’s right in the law. If a state doesn’t establish health care exchanges for their own residents, THEN THE FEDS GET TO DO IT, and to run them! The best way for states to tailor and control the law’s effect is to design health care exchanges that best reflect the specific care needs of their own. Those overseeing in DC would doubtless be less understanding of local differences, and they will provide a template to kinda-sorta work everywhere.

3. The characterization of this past election as “freedom vs. free stuff” is patently dishonest. All politicians promise goodies to those from whom they seek support. Romney’s offer of an across the board tax rate reduction greatly benefits the rich (free money), he was offering spending increases to the defense industries (gubmint money), and the intent to repeal Obamacare and kill Planned Parenthood are direct gifts to key campaign contributors; the big drug and insurance companies, and pro-life voters.

One reason Romney got 3 million fewer votes than McCain that she failed to mention was that a number of Evangelicals were hesitant to vote for a “cultist”, since to them Mormons aren’t really Christians. I think the biggest reason was that he was so obviously inauthentic, so easily able to take different positions in front of different audiences. Who knew what his core values are, or even if he has any besides wanting to win?

I could go on, but life’s too short. Good work!

This bully kid should have watched more Eddie Murphy movies, 64 year old teacher, “don’t let the white hair fool you”.

Baptist Archbishop Walter Dixon Commentary Challenging Donald Trump To Put Up or Shut Up As A Possible GOP Presidential Candidate.

Archbishop Walter Dixon of Atlanta, GA says Donald TrumpCan’t Come close To Defeating President Barack Obama in the 2012 Presidential election. He needs to stick to what he knows best; which is enjoying being a spender of other people’s money and trying to increase his celebrity status and television show rating.

Donald Trump, you should be ashamed of yourself to use President Obama’s birth place (which is in the United States) as a means of staying in the eyes of the media. You also attempted to ride on the Presidents coattail when you indicated that you both were born on the same day. If this is all you have to run on, get out while you’ve enjoyed your one minute of national fame. Aside from the rhetoric and non-issues that you speak about with regard to the President, what do you bring to the table?

I look forward to you using the media to publicly share your realistic response to the questions listed below that are of substance and of interest to many Americans across this great nation.

If you decide to run, what will be your platform?
So many Americans are out of work and looking for jobs. The unemployment rate as of March 2011 was 9.2%. What will you do to decrease unemployment? What plan do you bring to the table to assist Americans over the age of 50 in finding employment?
What will you do to decrease crime across America?
Many Americans have lost their homes, what will you do to stop the high volume of foreclosures?
What will you do to bring back fortune 500 manufacturing plants to this country from overseas and what is your plan to ensure that the manufacturing plants that remain here, stay here?
What will you do to help provide business loans to minorities?
What will you do to decrease the National debt?
Will you provide full transparency of all your personal and business tax records covering the last ten years?
Will you provide a certified copy of your birth certificate?
What will you do to assist ex-felons in getting employment? Lord knows they are trying to fulfill their probationary requirements and/or their basic needs of finding a job; however our Justice System punishes women and men twice for their mistakes. After an ex-felon has paid their debt to society and tries to find a job, many corporations won’t hire them because of their felony record. All Americans should have an opportunity to work regardless of their past mistakes. Do you believe in restitution? Would you hire an ex-felon to work for any of your companies?
Where do you stand on illegal immigration?
What will you do to cease the high cost of gasoline prices?
What will you do to increase the appointment of African Americans to the United States Supreme Court?
What would you do to stop the bickering between the Republican and Democratic parties and help them to understand that voters sent them to Washington, DC to represent their interest?
The President has indicated that he has an “Open Door Policy” and if any American has a better way, he is open to hearing it. Have you sat down with the President and shared your views & possible solutions to make America better or are you just a sounding brass, or a tinkling symbol?
President Obama has worked and is continuing to diligently work with Corporate America, Congress and the Senate in fixing the above and more. He has proven his ability to lead this nation from its worst crisis in recent years, all of which was created by 8 years of greed and financial irresponsibility under a Republican Administration. It took 8 years to get us into this mess; at least President Obama has made headway in resolving our economic downturn. As the saying goes, “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” but since you’ve announced seriously considering running as a GOP candidate in the 2012 Presidential race & you don’t support the President, please tell us all what your possible solutions are to the issues that concern us all?

President Barack Obama is the candidate that will put Americans back to work and he is the leader that will continue to bring prosperity to America. I will continue to support our leader, President Barack Obama beyond the years of 2016.

Waiting patiently for your response,

Archbishop Walter Dixon
