    LOL awesome quote from your leader. Here's another one:

    That was Michael Steele's take on gay marriage and how it will affect small businesses.

    But uhh.... wouldn't that mean ALL marriage is bad for small businesses? Do only gay couples cost small businesses money? I'm only asking because you're proudly quoting his take on Obama as if he's someone we should listen to. Just looking for your take on this quote from last week.

    Anything?

    Actually these are the words of a liberal black blogger. Since he is black, the words cannot possibly be considered racist.

    Gay marriage will open a pandoras box of gay marriage health benefits, gay marriage immigration visas, gay marriage in the military, gay marriage surrogate mothers, and gay divorce.

    This is going to cost a lot of money. So Michael Steele is correct that this will cost a lot of money.

    Please tell me how you compute your data so that that poll of Obama is lower then Bush when he first took office. Bush's popularity was in the 60's and 70's. Obama's is no where near that.

    A certain N word comes to mind, how can that word not be considered racist? Or is it only racist if a white guy says it :confused:? Makes a lot of sense. I never understood that. It's ok for one group of people to say it, but, completely wrong for another. How about everyone just not says it? That would be the right thing to do.

    And, I don't understand how someone that opposes Obama can automatically be considered racist. And most of us aren't agaisnt immigration, but, illegal immigration. I mean, it only breaks the law. But hey, when the economy is crap and all your jobs are taken by illegal immigrants, thats ok right? Thank god we don't have this problem really in Texas...

    And, let's not forget, that President Obama had made it very clear that he believes that marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman - that he is completely against gay marriage - that the man who pretended to campaign as a liberal, is really a social conservative.:eek:

    It breaks down like this:
    1) If you are not black and oppose Barack Obama for any reason, your a racist because hes black
    2) If you oppose illegal immigration, you are anti-immigrant (*Provided you are a member of the Republican party)
    3) If you are black and oppose Barack Obama for any reason, you are a sellout to your own race (Words like Uncle Tom, or Happy Negro can be used, so long as the said critic is black)

    What seems to be holding you up is the use of what some would consider "Racist" phrases by blacks against other blacks. Why is it racist when non-blacks use these phrases and words? This topic controversial enough to need its own thread, but I believe the short form answer to that is, use of these terms by black people is not considered degrading or derogatory, but rather part of the black experience and culture. It may seem like a double standard to you, but your ancestors didn't have to endure slavery at the hands of white people. Same goes for the American Indians and Casinos. Even though they are a conquered people and the majority of their land is now part of the U.S.A., in compensation for the trail of tears various other atrocities, they will and should retain special privileges, including the right to operate gaming establishments that violate state and federal laws.

    What's sad is that folks get all worked up about illegal immigration while supporting the corporate politics that are the real problem.

    The gap between the rich and everyone else has grown to insane levels in the United States.

    This shouldn't be about the middle class vs the poor or vs immigrants. And in reality it isn't. It's the rich & powerful against everyone else. They've tricked people like you into working against your own self interest.

    The immigrants are not taking any jobs that your average white American wants to do in the first place. And they sure as hell are not being paid enough. It's so ridiculous to complain about them "taking our jobs." It's absolute nonsense. Just absolute God Damn nonsense. Wake up to what is really going on.

    I've been saying this all along, so has Obama. If the middle class weren't so stupid, they would realize this.

    You are ignoring the fact that theres a right way and a wrong way to immigrate to the US. The right way is through Visas, etc. The wrong way is to just wonder up here.

    But, hey, its ok. People can break immigration laws because it doesn't effect me right? :rolleyes:. But, it's wrong for someone to murder someone else, even if it doesn't effect me? Again :rolleyes:. More double standards.

    I'm sorry, but, living in Texas I see teh effect illegal immigration has on a place, day in and day out.

    These people have no insurance, which means I end up having to pay for them hitting me in their white work van (which they purchased illegally, drove illegally, and are just plain illegal in every shape and form of the word).

    Where I'm from we still have a work ethic, we'll do any type of work to raise our families. But, the illegals will do it for well under minimum wage, so why should someone pay someone an honest days pay for an honest days work when they can pay them $50 to build a foundation?

    I won't even touch the first part of your sentance because it is beyond my scope of reason lol.

    About the phrases. If they are so deragatory than why use them for eachother? That makes no sense. Why would you want to keep the word alive within your community if it is so deragatory. In my line or reason, using deragatory words towards eachother, no matter who you are, is still deragatory.

    And, its all fine and dandy that their ancestors had to endure slavary, and all that other stuff. But, the fact of the matter is, Blacks were sold out by their ancestors in the villages (about 90% of them). They were sold to whites to be sold again for a higher price outside of Africa. And no one alive right now has any experiance with slavary (unless they were part of a human trafficking thing, but, that isn't only whites trafficing blacks, thats all races doing it to eachother). Again, these double standards don't sit well with me. Affirmitive Action, the whole white cop uses force on black guy, so white cop is racist, not likeing Obama = racism, that crap doesn't sit well with me. It's all crap, and doesn't belong in society. Racism doesn't belong in society. I hav emet more racist blacks than whites, and I have lived in GA, FL, and TX (as well as other countries). It's all a bunch of crap, take personal responsibility for your lives. Be the most qualified, earn things on merit.

    The other day I saw an article about 40 something black officers are suiing a state because a multiple choice test is somehow racist :rolleyes:.

    Matter of fact, Barry Obama's ancestors owned slaves. His father wasn't African-American but African. Obama is like the white South Africans that emigrate to the US and apply for entry to colleges as African-Americans. I don't fault him. He found a loophole and used it to his advantage.

    I'm not sure if I am missing the sarcasm. But the definition of racism :
    "A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race."

    Which in this case would mean race is the only factor that is used to discriminate against a person, not their actions. By the definition your suggesting, any black person who did not like George Bush, was a racist.

    Illegals can afford to work for less because they don't pay taxes. The families of many illegal aliens are also on welfare and receive free healthcare at taxpayer expense.

    Many illegal aliens have entered the US legally and overstay their visas. This happens a lot with people on student visas.

    California is on the verge of bankrupty. The US doesn't have the resources to continue subsidizing illegal labor.

    Unemployment is currently at 8.9% and illegals are still able to readily find work. So there must be a structural problem.

    Well, if an illegal will be happy being paid 5 dollars an hour where as a American cannot be paid less than minimum wage, of course illegals will take jobs

    There have been plants and factories raid in Alabama and after the raids Americans took the jobs at the same pay. Illegal aliens aren't all Mexicans or South Americans. I found this chart (below) that breaks down the origin of illegal aliens and you can see that they are from everywhere including Europe.

    First, let's put a 10% tax on send money wire to foreign addresses. We can use that money to fund medicaid.

    Second, I wouldn't be oppossed to give some form of amensty for illegal aliens that are already in the country. It's estimated that there are somewhere between 12 million and 20 million illegals and teh number is growing 500,000 per year.

    Should the US give amenstry to illegals, it has to be written in stone that any new illegals must be deported. The US will also need to end birth right citizenship and put a 10 year moritorium on legal immigration. If you don't do that we will have another 20 million illegals within 10 years.
