Most importantly, speak your mind. Engage people in dialogue. I am amazed at how few people are educated about news and current events.
Mark, how can that surprise you after Obama was elected...Twice. You are a good guy but give people too much credit.
If anyone actually knew what the hell was going on or educated themselves about their candidates he wouldn't have been elected the 1st time.
EXAMPLE:Popular quote from people suffering from White Guilt (((NOT ME))) "I am voting for Obama because he will end racism".
Obama proudly sat in Revered Wright's Congregation for 20 years. It's not bad enough that he pretends to be a Christian but that he also Chose to sit in the most racist Church in the midwest where a Racist screams racist and anti-American Bullshit every Sunday.
It was out there for anyone to know but People are too damn lazy to do their own homework. They will follow the masses and do whatever the mainstream Liberal Media suggests.
Look at where Race relations are now...worst ever.
