If I were the governor of Mississippi, and I wanted to pass a law that would merge Valley into Delta state to save money, then you too would wish my policy fail. Do you get it now? What's important to you may not be important to me. I care about all HBCU's, but if I had to choose who would get cut between Valley and JSU, then Valley it is.
Devil's Gun Trigger Man
onward and upward son!
dude that is an apples to oranges comparison. Obama's administration is multi-faceted involving A NATION, and the rest of the world. In the grand scheme of things Valley, JSU, or Alcorn would be a minus blip on the radar, compared to a WHOLE ECONONY failing. Like I said, how can u be patriotic and want the Obama Administration to fail?

I brought the grand scheme down to a level for all to see how one chooses what's important or not. Rush stated he wants Obama's "socialistic" policy to fail because it will lead to communism. You may not agree with his opinion, however he's entitled to his opinion. If Obama made an attempt to pass a law legalizing marijuana, gay marriage, HBCU budget cuts, and etc., I too wish it would fail.
I wish Bush's economic stimulus would have failed, and never made it through congress/senate. I was wishing John McCain would have have been defeated by Mike Huckabee, therefore I wanted him to fail while running against Huckabee.

Bullshat. Yet he supported Palin who is the Governor of Alaska. A place that takes part in "socialistic" actions.
Whenever a black man in America does anything of any political significance they accuse him of communism. You should have learned that from what they did to our leaders during the Civil Rights Movement.

No, it's an opinion and not all black people have the same opinion. I and many other black people believe God should be included in "every" decision our president makes, however there are some black people who believe God should be left out of politics. This is a difference of opinion and if any politician wants to leave God out of his decision making, then I too will be against his policies. In fact, I don't have to wish the politician will fail because if God is left out, then failure will surely follow......that's biblical.

I don't need to spy, I just tell it and let the chips fall where they may.
On separation of church and State.........
The U. S. Constitution is almost worthless in America. Although our political leaders like to speak about it, very few of them follow it. The Declaration of Independence is the mission statement for America. The Constitution is the bylaws by which government will be restrained. The Constitution was written to put limits on the government, not controls on the people. The Declaration of Independence states:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…..
The purpose of government, as expressed by our founders, was to protect our God-given rights. It is crucial to understand this premise found in the declaration, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights. Our rights come from our Creator, not from government. If the government can give rights, then it follows that it can take rights. If God gave us the rights, then only God can take the rights. The purpose of government is to make sure your rights are protected. God is the restrainer of tyrannical government. Acknowledging God keeps our leaders honest. The belief that there is an ultimate authority to which they are personally accountable keeps the power-hungry in check. But if God is no longer over government, to whom are our leaders accountable? America is teetering on the edge of tyranny.
What happens if God is removed from the picture? What happens if America and American law becomes secularized? What happens when they tell us that there is separation of church and state and we must keep our Faith to ourselves? What happens when “One nation under God†no longer acknowledges God? If God is not acknowledged, and government becomes the granter of rights, then who keeps an eye on “government� If God is the granter of rights, then government must answer to God. If there is no God, then the government is god, and government determines what rights we have.

That isn't a reference to the creator the you and I believe in, that's a reference to whomever that individual believes is their creator, including those that don't believe in the concept. That's why the word their was used specifically. A large number of those at the writing of that document were atheist or creationist. Being a previous colony of England , they knew the dangers of mixing church and state first hand

......so why are they mentioning a Creator, and can you prove a large number were Atheist?
Why did they use Creator as singular instead of plural? Also, how many religions actually state they have a Creator?

Why didn't they say creators?
The last time I checked, all humans have "ONE" Creator whether they realize it or not. How many Creators do you think we have? The "their" is in reference to the people and not religious gods.
