Historically, they are Democrat by taking from the rich and feeding themselves.

-John

if you truly believe that your ideological opposition doesn't have a legitimate reason for holding the beliefs they do, then you're just a hack who doesn't even understand your own ideologies.

Democrats are lost in labor, but yet our Government is 17 trillion dollars in debt.

If I was a laborer, I would ask why I didn't get those 17 Trillion?

Well this thread sure did turn in an unexpected direction.
No. Unfortunately, this was expected.

Hard to post anything in P&L without the trolls coming out.

The rules here are pretty open.. I'm surprised people still find ways to break them. Good thing I'm a nice guy who doesn't like to hit the report button.

Why the fuck should I care? I'm neither caucasian nor religious (in fact, I'm atheist).

They do love to try and change the subject though, don't they? They have no plausible rebuttals, so they use hollow ad hominem attacks, then shift the conversation. Blacks in America have turned victimization and rape of the welfare state into way of life, then shit themselves if anyone else has a complaint. Go fuck yourselves. :D

Wrong on so many levels.

There may be elements of black culture that take advantage but it is truly wrong to blame the color of their skin. There are many other cultures that take advantage of the system, as well.

It's not a "black people" thing... It's an "American black culture" thing.

If it wasn't for the bat shit crazy economic ideas I'd be leaning towards Ron Paul. But, he has ZERO chance to win the nomination and therefore zero chance to be the next president.


Brian

See, but here's the thing...as president, he has no authority to actually act on his crazy economic ideas. Neither would have his father.

I'm not blaming the color of their skin, ex. Nigerians, Ethiopians, and Sudanese who immigrate into the USA don't behave this way. It's ex-slave "culture", the idea that someone else must provide for them, otherwise they bitch, become violent, and then eventually start an uprising. It's ingrained into them as a social norm. They simultaneously want the perks of freedom while still clinging to the economic and social structures provided by a master. What egalitarianism gave to them (release from slavery), progressivism has taken away, only the chains now are financial (but no less binding).

Not disagreeing on that BUT you have to be aware that they were originally forced into the culture they are in.

Integration was a great idea but unfortunately there isnt that much of it in reality.

Again, MOST black people aren't thugs. Just like MOST white people aren't KKK members or Bikers or White Trash.

But somehow those are always the loudest ones.

Edit: heck- at least black people riot for the right reasons. White people riot over pumpkins and sports teams

It's true. The things that he CAN effect are all fairly sane and rational ideas

Once citizens have won their freedom back then some new world order on the far right will set off a bomb to prove how worthless your freedoms are.

Then yes ISIS will claim responsibility and the person who set the bomb will be a lowly paid or unemployed person who could never hold down a job.

I don't think it's even an "American black culture" thing. The majority of blacks in America are earning their way just like anyone else, and they represent American black culture fully as much as any entitled welfare queen. It's simply a subset of blacks, and the only reason it stands out from similar subsets among whites, Hispanics, etc. is because their apologists get a bigger stage due to our national history of slavery and Jim Crow.

That's why i said elements of black culture. But, you are correct i in your clarification.

See my other post above

It's funny how they used anthrax attacks to get the original patriot act passed. And now with this stuff going on guess what? Yep, there is more anthrax floating around. At least this time they are openly admitting it came from a US military base.

someone explain why a Repub is filibustering their own parties NSA program?


Because Paul is not inline with republicans as a whole. The GOP did not want him, they hand picked someone else in Kentucky. He just won the R primary so they had to stick with him. They do not want him as president either.

Because Rand proves a really good point.

Just because you're a member of a political party doesn't nab you have to agree with all the nonsense.

There are many different kinds of conservatives just like there are many different kinds of liberals.

I, for one, am a libertarian leaning conservative with liberal beliefs towards regulation.

I'm a registered libertarian who has mostly voted for democrats due to social issues.

At this point Rand is the ONLY CANDIDATE who hates war. That's kind of a big one for me.
