Can you name a country in Africa in which you think you (or anyone for that matter) have a better shot at Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness? Hell, don't just limit it to Africa. Can you name any other country on Earth where you feel you have a better shot at Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?

Most of the "Haves" worked to earn their wealth. And most of the "Haves" contribute to a lot to charities. And the "Haves" pay the lions share of taxes. And all you can say is that the "Haves" don't want to share their wealth. You stated on another thread that the Right was expert at fear mongering. I beg to differ. The Right doesn't come close to approaching the level of the Left on fear mongering. The Right is way behind on media sensationalism and yellow journalism. I don't even think it is possible for the Right to convince their followers to "bite the hand that feeds them." This propaganda coup perpetrated by the Left to convince their followers that rich people are evil and do not pay their fair share is astonishing to me. The Lefty leaders have done this to create a divide between the two. How the Lefty followers have accepted this nonsensical notion is amazing.

We accept millions of immigrants every year. Many more millions want to get in. Compared with the 10 or 20 people that moved to Islamic nations, I see your point, these are similar numbers.

Has a minority ever said he couldn't get a fair trial because the judge was white? And did you call the minority racist? I think not. And building a wall is racist how?

Well taking the high road means not throwing out baseless accusations. It also means when you throw out an accusation you should provide proof when questioned on that accusation. Something you have failed to do on multiple occasions.

Just admit you can't provide proof and be done with it.

I did. And not one racist remark against Hispanics was found. How about you just go ahead and provide this info.

And how does he refer to their race? Are you going to try to throw out that tired old lie about him calling all Mexicans rapists? Are you really going to attempt that again?

Are you referring to legal Hispanics or illegal Hispanics. The polls that I've seen show that legal Hispanics are against illegal immigration. And they are the only ones allowed to vote. Well, unless the Democrats are running the voting booth. And I'm not sure how many of the Supreme Court members are up for re-election. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that none of them are.

Nice. I'm not going to speak for nappy, but I will continue to refer to President Obama as simply Obama, just as I do for GW, Clinton, Bush I, Carter, Ford, and every other president. I refer to Hillary Clinton as Hillary to differentiate her from Bill. There are many, many things for which to criticize Hillary and Obama. I'm not going to stoop to a cheap shot on a name when there is so much more available material.

I'm surprised you hold Rockefeller in such high esteem. After all, he was a devoted Baptist and funded many Christian organizations that the left hold in such contempt. In his later years he did use his wealth to do a lot of good, but his wealth was accumulated off the backs of his employees. You know, the employees that worked from sun up to sun down with no overtime pay, no 401K, no benefits of any kind, no sick leave, no maternity leave, no paternity leave, no union representation... I'm not familiar with his hiring practices of minorities. Would the diversity of his workforce pass the Affirmative Action mustard? Maybe your admiration stems from the fact that he and Carnegie were so adept in cornering the markets that they forced Congress to create anti-monopoly and anti-trust laws. I'm just guessing here. Please enlighten us as to why you feel Rockefeller represents the pinnacle of the business world.

Where do you find these people? I have been around pretty much all of Southeast Texas and haven't found one member. I have friends and acquiantances in practically every city, town, and unincorporated area in Southeast Texas and none have even mentioned a present day KKK presence. If they are out there, they must be in hiding, which begs the question of how you've had personal experiences with them.

Are you implying that nappyroots is "dissing" Obama by not adding President in front of his name?

White people were at the forefront of Civil Rights. Do you actually think that 13% of the population could get legislation passed that 87% of the population was scared of. Sounds like one of those revisionist history stories you are so found of.

You read a lot into something not said. I don't know how you can come to that conclusion based on the limited information provided. You could possibly be right, but if so that statement needs more context for rational people to deduce the meaning.

So why do Democrats think they can strip someone's second amendment right without a conviction, but not the fourth? Please explain how the fourth amendment is unimpeachable, but the second amendment can be tossed aside based on assumptions and accusations. And that's the best shot you can come up with..."I think I abide by civil rights". That is weak. LOL

You forgot to include "controlled by Democrats" in your common denominator list.

All you lefties should be taking note of the Democrats shutting down the government. You people always try to blame Republicans for shutdowns, but this is undeniable Democrats shutting down government. And they are shutting it down under the guise of the Orlando massacre, when none of the bills proposed would have stopped it. So let's hear from you lefties who is shutting down the government and who is grandstanding. (Hint: They both start with a "D".) And if you don't take note and condemn this action, be prepared to be called hypocrites like you try to label Conservatives. (I'm going to be using this one for years to come.) And it's ironic that the party that is supposed to be for civil rights is staging a "sit in" to deny people of their civil rights. And please explain the difference in condemnable decorum when Joe Wilson shouted "you lie" versus what the democrats have shouted at Paul Ryan. (Another hypocritical action to put in the coffer.) I know, I know. You have to wait until the Democrat leaders put out their talking points before you can formulate your own opinion that mirrors theirs. I'll wait.

I hope they keep the "sit In" going for a least another 6 months. Paul Ryan can get advice from Harry Reid on how to suppress voting on a bill. Reid is the unquestionable king of doing that.

Was you wanting to add some sentiment to the post you quoted?

I don't want to speak for 77 but I think it is common knowledge when someone puts on here the word "Obama" they are talking about President Obama. Do you think he was referring to a different Obama?

You have been on here enough to have seen that I don't like Trump. For you to try to label me as a Trump supporter just shows you have no comprehension...or no shame. And it gets to be almost hilarious how you bad mouth Trump when Hillary is 10 times worse on every issue you bring up. Try and find someone else to pigeon hole. You are wading in Big Girl waters.

Why are you still peddling a disproven lie?

I'm curious as to why you think most people who support open carry are not in agreement with this. I'm guessing that maybe you think that people who open carry and/or own machine guns and cannons are not personally responsible enough with their weapons, which will result in an old fashion shootout. I'm not that cynical.

A true leftist always resorts to personal attacks. I don't mind...confirmation noted.
