equality

Please elaborate on that? I hear these type of statements everyday but yet they are never backed up with any kind of proof. In the rare times that the speaker is actually questioned, the predictable replies will be "Duh?", or "You don't know what it's like to be a black/minority in America", or references to 50+ years ago and slavery. You never get responses referring to the trillions of dollars spent on Civil Rights, redistribution, Affirmative Action, urban development, minority outreach in every type of job imaginable, etc.

Explain to me how Affirmative Action is not racism?  For the life of me, I cannot see how it isn't.  Talk about inequality!

So you think you are sub par when it comes to the equality fantasy? Give me a break. You dont want equality, you just don't want me to have what I've got.

It's not racist if it's against white people

Quit looking for someone to care about you...vote for who is better for the private sector and NOT big gov.

Folks need jobs, not crumbs for votes.

Trickle down gov never works

Exactly as I stated in my post. You won't acknowledge any of the laws and standards enacted in the last 50 years...you have to resort to the slavery argument. So predictable and so tiresome.

And it is also predictable and tiresome that you won't answer the question posed.

I'm sure you'll just convince yourself it's impossible to argue with a board full of Right Wing nutcases. Again, predictable and tiresome.

I guess we'll have to wait for another topic for you to make an asinine comment then run from it. Shouldn't take long.

So you're looking for someone to "care" about you in the fed gov...good luck.

I've been working since i was 12 years old. So the answer to your question is no. I do care about the elderly, kids that are in need and adults that are truly in need. "not just abusing the system".

And im tired of some of the rhetoric that you guys preach all the time also. Maybe you need to learn something about people that are not like you before you make asinine uneducated comments

This article was written by Paul Waldman, a senior Fellow for Media Matters, an organization that had its beginning with the assistance of the Center for American Progress( a Democratic think tank) and some funding from Moveon.org.  Of course, the aformentioned organizations "certainly" have no political bias associated with them.  Pure and objective as the wind driven snow.
