Reader comment on item: Predicting the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election
in response to reader comment: The way the US is going
Submitted by Maggie thompseon (Egypt), Nov 9, 2008 at 18:48
Canada, ha. What direction are you against? The anti-racist equality road or the tolereance road? I'm confused, it's like you want america to be a racist place. As I remember correctly jews suffered from this type of discrimination in teh united states a couple of generations ago. It pains me to see someone so closed minded. In Israel, there are muslims and they are allowed to vote and even take part in government, so it is kind of hypocritcal, don't you agree?
