Reply #28: don't give anyone blind allegiance--look at their record. period. [View All]

I have a lot of respect for my congressman, Henry Waxman, one of my senators, Barbara Boxer, and of course, John Conyers, and most of the black congressional caucus.

Apart from them, and some others, precious few have dared to raise their voice in objection to a headlong, sustained assault on the middle class, our liberties, and our reputation in the world. Often their silence directly contradicted the will of their constituents.

As black voters have seen for decades, and a lot of the rest of us are figuring out, if you believe one party can do no wrong, they will do it to you because you'll forget to keep your eye on them.

I hope that one thing that separates us from the right is some minimal ability to exercise critical thinking rather than blind allegiance.
