the reason why
Image by Getty Images via Daylife I haven’t been thrilled with the way people on both sides of the aisle have talked about Palin and her family but let me see if I can articulate why some of us on the left(ish) side (well, me anyway) are a bit confused and even angry.

the original post is good, the conversation is good (for the most part)…love it. I don’t care if you agree or disagree but if you’re white, you’re a person of power and you’d be wise to at least listen with an open mind to what this [...]
