i'm 59 years old, and watched this back-and-forth potters in politics all my life. -- partisan politics all my life. host: there are reports that there are democratic people as part of the tea party movement. are you one of those who voted for president obama and are now upset with his agenda? caller: yes, i am, and contributed to him. i was a teenager in the late 1960's. i was raised in california. the hope that obama offered really was inspirational to me, but i have seen him just embrace everything the democrats want, and health care -- he lost me with his opening statement. when we were not going to begin a new system, but a fixed the existing one. a translated to medical care for profit, not medical care for non-profit. this health-care legislation is just one more political fiasco of both parties. host: you and others might be interested in the outlook section of the paper with don quail writing, " why dithe tea party should not go perot." it says here it would be welcome news and the white house. quail notes that many remember of the reform party of the 1990's. he says that he su

in popular and literary work, but when a book like the harry potter box, which make religious claims, christians take notice. never mind that other popular books alighted bans all sorts of bad ideas about the nature of work or history or personal identity. matters concerning which questions should have an interest. i could go on and on. in the world of sports, about which i know almost nothing. is there a game tomorrow? many secular critics for decades have lamented the loss of a sense of play and sportsmanship as professional sports become commercialized, more qualified, more driven by the demands of television. there have been few thoughtful, christian commentators about this. the only critical response i have noticed was the outcry few years back when the nfl was going to crack down on churches with super bowl parties. then it is an issue. so, there is a pattern here. it is a dualistic pattern. as soon there is a compartment of life called religion concerned with personal and family issues and jesus is lord over the compartment. then we have the world of culture, economics, science

there's something i'm with that picture because crack is used by the inner-city blacks and the potters used by suburban white more likely. but she's got such a prosperity and how the impact is that that's one of the reasons why the war on drugs has been conceived and implemented, executed. it is that this abortion i that black people. as a button issue in terms of black people get longer sentences than a white person. basically there is a great disparity and it's tough enough in this economy to get a job. but if you're a black or saint andrew of a criminal record, your chance of getting a job is almost done. and that means they're going to be confined to a ghetto, whether economic ghetto for a physical one is such. are never going to get out of there and you're going to be surveyed by the police, that you're more likely to come back into the prison system because you're going to try to detract on the because you have no hope, et cetera, et cetera. so we want to raise the issue, look at our criminal justice system. we had eric holder who came to pick up the conference, justice breyer wh
