Bardo, from bar ‘interval’ + do ‘two.’ is (in Tibetan Buddhism) an indeterminate, transitional state of existence between death and rebirth.

which is why I'm rooting for Roland's show. Last week he had on the Congresswoman from NY, and she was talking about BIO-TERRORISM. tell me the last time you saw a Black person on one of those shows talking about BIO-TERRORISM.

Brother is analytical and knows his politics. Where has he been hiding? I have never seen him on CNN or MSNBC.

The bolded part is WHY you've never seen him on CNN or MSNBC.

Roland Martin's show today was the best I have seen. I hope people are watching.
The second panel was great. Michael Eric Dyson brought up great concerns and questions. His thoughts on Obama and race were on point.
BTW who is the other Black guy sitting next to Barbara Lee that guy is good. Brother is analytical and knows his politics. Where has he been hiding? I have never seen him on CNN or MSNBC.

Dennis Kucinich's vote concerns me like nothing else. I don't know anything about the Black guy in Alabama so I would be hesitant to try to mess with him. His true colors will be seen soon enough.
The "white progressives/liberals" are on my watch list. From what I have seen of KOS and his crew is suspect.

Un2#$%^&* believable. People are calling out Davis after a 220 to 215 vote. Why do all the White moderate and blue dogs receive a pass for being in marginal districts or running for state wide office w/ their Congressional sinecure as a fall back? And the folks on these pages whom have been screaming blue bloody murder about so called progressives will not back the President are now saying get rid of Davis? The same Kos that publishes Dan Savage, whom is so f@#$%^& stupid he says marriage failed in Maine becasue AA people didn't vote for it when Maine is whiter than an albino convention? Why isn't thehow the hell do you call yourself a legislative leader Pelosi whe you do not anticipate that abortion, a Republican 54'50" or fight issue, isn't addressed?
trose you are so on point, that folks even raising the Davis issue should be beat into the color of the next nationality.

The Israelis are not going to play ball whether the rockets are being launched into their territory or not. The current Palestinian leadership is not able to make any such concessions in great part because the previous actions of our government and various Israeli governments has served to weaken and discredit them.

Pt it has everything to do with pursuing the right policy. I understand the concerns of the Palestinian people and I don't want to get into a long drawn out debate about Israeli and the Palestinian problem because it's Football day. But the Isrealis aren't going to play ball if they believe Hamas is going to continue to shoot rockets in Tel Aviv. Obama needs to get those type of commitments from the Palestinian leadership. Israel could do everything Obama asks but if the Palestinian leadership doesn't commit to not express their grievances through violence then this process is a waste of time. Like I said Obama must get concessions from BOTH sides. Prior administrations tried to solve this problem by just concentrating on the Palestinians.

Taking a hard line with the Palestinians has nothing to do with pursuing the right idea or policy and everything to do with providing political cover. The Palestinians live under hard lines and even harsher policies 24/7.

Just keep in mind that the Holocaust occurred primarily in central and eastern Europe and it was not the overarching event of World War II nor were the Palestinians involved.

Guns3000 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:47:09 -0000

I understand you holding judgment on this because past moves from prior administrations have been disappointing. I'm not sure what the outcome of Obama's moves will be but thus far he has the right idea. Which is taking a hard line with BOTH sides.

The Palestinian situation is not a generational problem. I will give the president his props if and when something beneficial happens for the Palestinian people. Until that time...

Aipac isn't going to have a choice. There is a slow demographic shift among Jews around the world on Israel. All of this unilateral unwavering support AND FOR WHAT? There is still no peace. It's starting to become quite obvious that the biggest impediment for Israeli security and peace is the Israeli government. And Jewish people are starting to realize that. If you look through the comments on the this story on haaretz surprisingly a lot of comments are positive.

God (any of them) did not wrote or dictated the bible to anyone.
Maybe the true reason is to sway away from Romanization of the words of Christ by the Vatican, Christianity was imported adapted and ratified by europeans.
These zealous want to restore it to its Jew heritage and strip it of any human right instance or free will?
??

No, they just want to SELL their values/interests.
