Polling shows that 70% of Americans believe that Scalia was right and that you were wrong. I guess that poll does not mean anything since it disagrees with your personal opinion.

I too am a gun owner and also believe that my rights were never in danger. The real danger is from reactionaries like Scalia.

If poll results really meant something to you, then you would be supporting border control, immigration control, and an end to Affirmative action instead of calling for open borders and more government sanctioned discrimination. But since open borders and government based discrimation benefit the Democratic Party, it is easy to realize why you support it.

The only criticism of Senator Obama I have seen on any progressive blog is that Senator Obama has gone to far to the middle and instead should be supporting the efforts of the trial lawyers to put the telecom companies out of business.

Of course, Shaun would then have to argue that raising taxes during a recession is a good thing even though virtually all economist would tell you otherwise.

Shaun would then have to explan why affirmative action, quotas, racial set asides, and the goverment's policy of separate and unequal should be continued and even expanded even though the vast majority of Americas oppose it. Shaun would also have to explain why poll results are important when most Americans disagree with Repubicans but are irrelevant when the poll results disagree with boilerplate liberal talking points.

Shaun might also want to explain how a policy of open borders and unlimited immigration agrees withe Senator Obama's goals of increasing real wages, lower carbon emission, reducing traffic congrestion, and improving schools. My guess is that the elite white who will dominiate the Obama Administration believe that overwhlemingly middle class white voters with Hispanic immigrants is more imporant than the negative effects of immigration of the environment, education, or the economy.

Shaun may want to explain how education will improve in an administration that will give the teachers unions whatever they want, that will eliminate educational standards, and that believes that social engineering is more important that academic learning.
