I am older than Matthews. I remember the early/mid 60s. I do not ever recall hearing the word *interposition*. In fact, even though it is an obvious word, I went and looked it up. Was he referring to Maddox standing in the schoolhouse door? I do remember the *Impeach Earl Warren* bumper stickers, but I haven't seen one of those in nearly 50 years.

“Nullification” in today's context reminds me more of OJ's trial than of politics. The word we use against zerOcare is *repeal*. It has nothing at all to do with skin color.

There were no songs to anyone except Jesus at the rally. No one even joined hands, outside of some couples who were holding hands and some parents holding their children's hands. I didn't even see any frowns or down turned lips. I saw dozens of black pastors on the podium. I saw white and black pastors, side by side, even embracing.

Matthew and his crowd need to realize this is 2010. The protected classes of today are not white. They are not American citizens. They certainly are not entrepreneurs or taxpayers. His nightmare was a calm sun-drenched rededication of individual faith and quiet patriotism.
