To address the questions of Contentious, I would add that usually when people come against that dark recognition of 'everything they thought about life is not true' it becomes a personal spiritual quest for a true foundation. <BR/>But, for the Obama's, even that spiritual cistern has been poisoned by the "unapologetically Black" teaching of their church. We should worry about the Obama's precious little girls indoctrination as much as we wept for the innocent victims of the Branch Davidian torching.<BR/>I have heard that when Barak's teleprompter runs afoul, his rhetorical flourishes descend into the usual leftist Bush hate...Bushitler. <BR/>So, what sort of leader would an affirmative action President be? From the depths of his heart a man speaks.

In a shame based world, it helps to remember that guilt is about what we do, shame is about who we are. Ms. Obama is living in shame, not knowing what she could have done with the application of her intellect.<BR/><BR/>Well done Yaacov!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-79775102947305449132008-02-21T21:17:00.000-05:002008-02-21T21:17:00.000-05:00Your analysis of the psychological processes invol...Your analysis of the psychological processes involved in Michelle Obama's comments, shame and feelings of inferiority projected and externalized onto the environment, is "spot on." <BR/>Affirmative action continues to be more damaging than beneficial for its victims, I mean, beneficiaries.
