We seem to be totally out of sync regarding what the point of this is. For the record and hopefully to clarify my position - I have no respect for British colonialism. The impact of what was done has had lasting effects and to this day is hurting the development of the African continent. The British has never done anything to correct the problems they created. I don't suggest that the British are not currently good allies of this country and that they do not make some positive contributions to the world - but on this issue it is very problematic for me. From my point of view, I would accept Huckabee's call, and debate the issue.

ace....more of the same diversionary bullshit.
Huckabee's comments to his political base were not about British colonialism,..he would be an idiot to think his base, or any voters, gives a crap about the subject, being that it is irrelevant to their concerns..... but were to demonize Obama as somehow being influenced by "Un-American" ideals.

You used Google news stories to make a point, within in that what percentage had to do with politics? A large number of those "news" stories had to do with Kathy Griffin playing a Palin like role on

I dont think ace wants to acknowledge the fact that Palin is paid $1 million by Fox to express her political opinion as opposed to Lady Gaga or Kathy Griffin, who are not and who do not have political ambitions.
Ignorance is bliss.
