The definition of bigot came from Webster's.

Reverand Wright was in the Marines, for the two years required.  Went 
nowhere, did nothing.  He transferred to the Navy for the medical.  He worked 
in a hospital.  If that makes him great, then, as I said, every single 
medical tech out there is a great American.  People use the word "Marine" to 
equate something he wasn't.  The word "Marine" has specific meaning and 
brings specific images to mind when people read it.  That is the intent and 
the purpose.  You won't get folks all in the dither to wave the flag if you 
simply state he was a Navy Corpman and worked at Bethesda doing caths.

AND, yes, I did get the info on Wright from an e-mail.  I actually got a link 
from my dad who was in the Navy and did something besides sit stateside!  The 
link he provided is from the bio that Wright HIMSELF put out there.  Thank 
you very much!  We should all remember how assume is spelled!

The other info I posted is very easy to check.  Well, unless one doesn't want 
to read the facts and prefers to just go on believing the pretty speeches.  
It would seem so since you went to the trouble to check on Wright but not on 
Obama.

Teflon attended Punahou PREP School. $16,675 a year to attend and that is 
only the base price.  Lots more $$ for things other than initial enrollment.  
It is considered one of the most ELITE prep schools in the U.S.!

And, one might also do a little looking at the schools he attended in 
Indonesia.  They aren't what is implied either.  The one was set up by the 
Dutch for the rich kids.  It was the Indonesian equivalent of a prep school.  
It is the school children of former Indonesian presidents have attended.  The 
other is a Catholic school.  Not exactly a school for poor little children of 
single parents.  He was only out of the U.S. for 4 years.  He attended each 
school for 2 years.  Then he was shipped back to the U.S. PRECISELY so he 
could attend a better school, a prep school, an ELITE school.

AND, he himself says he attended an ELITE PREP SCHOOL when he describes 
attending Occidental College.

Plus, you won't find him downplaying Punahou Prep School.  Kinda hard to do 
that without seeming to slam some of the other alumni such as Case and the 
founder of e-bay.

"If you ask the people in Hawaii what they know about Barack Obama, I think 
the honest answer is, 'Very little.' He went to school in Hawaii but he went 
to Punahou, and that was not a school for the impoverished."

horses?

Yes, I did.  I've got some comments I'll make on the list, but mostly, if
there are 150 of those horses remaining, don't hold your breath about getting
hold of one any time soon, nor very cheaply.  Rare livestock people are a bit
crazy.

I'll have some provisos and 'quid pro quo's  about that.  But at any rate, if
you haven't read it, get hold of a copy of Gene Logsdon's "You Can Go Home
Again" where he did much the same.
