Crusader, and you other Condi haters here, you are committing slander and lying in these posts, and it needs to stop. You are making claims without documentation, taking quotes out of context, and that is dishonest and disrespectful.

I suggest there is an inherent, unintentional prejudice against women and blacks, and we have to deal with it within our own thoughts first, because it certainly is not Dr. Rice's skills which should aggravate anyone. Examining her skills and her beliefs on issues actually do the opposite: helping eliminate unintentional prejudice and helping build a positive view of her. This is much easier to hold than views based on fears and lies.

Secretary Rice is an academic specialist on Russia and world affairs. After her earned Doctorate (and most of the world has no idea how hard even a Bachelor's is to attain), she attained the position of the Chancellor of a University; authored two academic books; speaks five languages; was the National Security Advisor for four years prior to this position, and is a fantastic communicator, a skill very few ever attain, but a tool very necessary to actually reaching set goals. She is a Christian. She is pro-life (see www.4condi.com/issuequotation) for her quotes on issues).

Sure there will be issues we disagree with any politician, but in no way should anyone be twisting the truth as much as some of you have been on this post. We should be praying for our leaders, asking God to give them the wisdom and knowledge and skills they need for the tasks. And pray for love in our own hearts.

I believe "Crusader" has had to go back to download/update and consult the new talking points, and as soon as that's done, the dialog will continue.

At least, I hope he will show up.

I would be honored to have your comment to Crusader stand as my words as well. Thank you for your comments, which are both truthful and calming.

I agree that we see too much enmity on this board, when our attention should be directed to our true enemies. Thank you for your post.

This whole posting was nothing more than a smear attack and an attempt by a bunch of trolls to stir up trouble. At least we know who they are now.

Condi & Bush & the rest of the bunch are doing the best anyone could expect in a world full of denial about radical Islamo-fascism and a Western Civilization blind to the danger of a radical Islamo-fascist alliance with China & Russia. The aim of the enemies of freedom is to reduce the power and influence of the United States in the world.

I would say that Condi has more talent & ability in her little pinky finger than all of her attackers on this thread have put together.

Considering just how left-wing, socialist, pro-terror, and anti-Israel our universities are nowadays... that's NOT a glowing endorsement.

It's more like a lump of radioactive waste around her neck, marking her as a pariah - DO NOT TOUCH.

Conservatives suffer through college and get into the corporate world ASAP. Liberals wallow in the academic muck.
