Why is socialism so-anti American to Republicans but racism, isn't?

[HomerJS]

I'm just pointing out which party is on the wrong side of racism.

Party that fought against equalizing rights for blacks: Democrats.

Party that imprisoned japanese us citizens because they were japanese: Democrats.

In more breaking news women are responsible for all the evil in the world. After all Eve took a bite from the apple. At least according to the @blackangst1 sense of history.

Republican Party supported the following...

birtherism
If a judge is Mexican that makes them incapable of doing their jobs.
Most Mexican immigrants are rapists and murderers.
Denigrating a presidential candidate solely on the basis of being black.
retweeting white nationalists.
White nationalist supporters working right in the White House.

You don't need legislation, just look at their actions.

Ah yes. Because the fringe defines the whole party huh? Feel that way about De,ocrats?

How about not putting words in my mouth?

When the fringe rules the party, is it still the fringe? When 80% of the party supports the fringe, is it really the fringe?

It's just history, what's the problem

When it is the head of the party that's not fringe. But you already knew that.

So the majority of Democrats believe its OK to kill Americans without a trial? I didnt know that.

You claim Democrats own racism because of stuff that happened 90 years ago. I just went back a little further.

Your sense of history

Women are the reason we're not gonna suffer 4 more years of the kingpin asshole of all time in control of the executive branch in the USA. Be kind to a woman today, she saved your ass.

When people who desire less government, have more government forced upon them, then it is by definition no longer by, of, and for the people.

So if there's one billionaire who buys his own police, fire department and roads, but the voters want these to be public goods, it no longer "government by, of, for the people"? Solid logic

So do you and the rest of Republicans. At least in the case of Obama its Americans fighting with terrorists against the US vs just some random person on the streets of NYC. We have enemy combatant laws on the book. You know, the law created by Republicans. Don't like it change the law.

It appears that your point is that history doesn't matter to current events. Is that correct?

 

[Jhhnn]

Not dishonest at all. It is what it is. The best predictor is future behavior is past behavior. WRT racism, the Democrats have a clear pattern.

So dishonest. Harry Truman integrated the military.

 

[JD50]

I think his point is that the ideology of the Democratic and Republican parties have changed drastically over the years. I'm a Democrat because I'm liberal, I'm not liberal because I'm a Democrat. If the Democratic party changed their platform and started embracing racist conservatives then I would no longer be a Democrat, but I would still be liberal. I know both you and @blackangst1 understand this point.

Calling out a political parties platform 100 years ago (or even 50) is just silly and serves no purpose. Focus on the ideology, because that's what people care about.

It appears that you wish to join @blackangst1 in being intentionally dishonest by accusing people (not events) of guilt by association because of people (not events) from generations ago. Is that correct?

 

[Vic]

So dishonest. Harry Truman integrated the military.

I had a great convo with an old high school friend on FB some time ago. He's a Trumper with big-time Hillary Derangement Syndrome, and he posted a meme of John Robert Fox, the first African-American to be awarded the Medal of Honor, as 'proof' that racism no longer exists in America. So I asked, very politely, if he knew why Fox wasn't awarded the Medal of Honor until 1997, even though his meritorious actions occurred in 1944. The answer, of course, was Hillary, who fought to have African-Americans awarded that highest honor finally, over the strong objections of military brass and Republicans in Congress.
Similar events occurred with the Japanese internment, when Democrats in Congress finally succeeded in getting reparations to those who had been affected over the strong objections of Republicans.

Or.. why my liberal grandfather was a Republican and my conservative grandfather was a Democrat.

I'm just pointing out which Ideological group is on the wrong side of racism.

Ideological group that fought against equalizing rights for blacks: CONSERVATIVES.

Ideological group that imprisoned japanese us citizens because they were japanese: CONSERVATIVES.

Fixed that for you for truth and historical accuracy, some things you're not too familiar with.....truth or accuracy.

His flailing about is pretty amusing tho.

Irony, learn it.

I can only imagine what a raging dumbfuck he is when it comes to history.

Irony is not something you embrace, it's something you bounce off of. Well, it could stick to you, but that's not good.

 

[HomerJS]

Sure it matters when used appropriately. He was twisting/conflating history to fit his narrative. Dishonest at best

Oh, so you're just an idiot then. K, thx, bye.

You misunderstood my comment about women. I was fully aware of the irony of the post I was responding to. How could you have missed that? Well, you did. So who's the idiot?
