This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)
This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.
Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.

Here are my comments:
1. Did he just tell the Secretary of State to shut up when stating a historical fact? The mucky and ugly history of race and ethnicity and its current effect on people is just a fact, he believes that it is a “belief” and only held the a minority. Reminds me of people who deny The Holocaust happened.
2. Did he just refer to Condelezza Rice, Barack Obama, and Reverend Wright as “cotton pickers”?
a. He stopped himself (but not in time). Does this mean he knew what he was saying was in bad taste
b. or, as a seasoned linguist, did is he baiting the audience to watch him defend himself tonight for using a racial term?
1. Dobbs disagrees that race should be used for political motives, but should the discussion of race be used to make a profit (or gain prestige and power, both political motives), like what Dobbs may have been doing by phrasing his answers like this?
3. Who should moderate this conversation if not politicians? The media? They don’t have a reliable track record. Should school, religion, or business lead the discussion of race in America?
4. Um, America is not the most diverse nation in the world, just look at our censuses versus other countries. They have far more divisions of racial and religious categories. We are very diverse, but
Thank you Lou Dobbs for offering something to talk about over dinner tonight with my parents. We will see if your viewers are really not afraid to talk about race and ethnicity. My parents are regular viewers of your show. I’m curious if you really speak for them or are just entertainment.
