By Cody J. Sanders

…do well to ask a few fundamental questions upon which our very ability to communicate with one another is predicated: Question #1: With whom are we engaging in dialogue? This is perhaps the most important question of all. When entering dialogue, how we construct the “other” (our dialogue partner) will determine just how much dialogue is even possible.

…of the religious right who, in his recent “Open Letter to the Black Church Community,” wrote that the black community is in the “death grip” of the Democratic Party, which “has become a Coalition of the Godless, supported by abortionists, homosexual activists, pornographers, casino gambling, activists calling for legalization of marijuana and the anti-Christian ACLU.” Some of Wheeler’s recent columns at the conservative site Townhall have included…

…e to count it up. If states didn’t publish any numbers until the count was complete, the outcome would be exactly the same but without the horserace narrative and a President subverting the will of the people.
