Lately, you now seem to think you should decide the rights that American citizens should have. Voting is a privilege long conferred upon our citizens (except the convicted felons) before you or I came along. By the way, what constitutes "lazy"? or "leaches" (I'll assume that you meant "leeches")? People that are crippled or infirmed? People that have reached a financially comfortable point in life that they no longer have to work? Who should decide that definition? Please define things for us. I only ask because now you seem to also want to define Blacks in this way. Also, because I fall into the crippled (partially) category, the financially comfortable category, and I'm also Black! Should I not have the right to vote? Is this where your dislike for Obama really coming from? A Black has achieved what you could not, and you are ashamed of that fact? That is only because he made the effort to achieve, and did not waste idle time in blaming others for his own shortcomings in life. You should learn the lesson here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Lazy:People that choose not to work because they can avoid work by allowing the government to fund their life. I explained in the post you quoted SSI based on a producer being unable to continue producing. Persons retired that were producers when they retired regardless of reason for retirement should be able to vote. SSI is the insurance for disabled workers under the SS act. Quote:
There is no such thing as a pure white person and race has nothing to do with what I've been saying. My point is people of Afro American origin have prospered in America and others have not. People of all races have prospered in America and others of their individual races have not... My position is, and remains that only those in the Afro American race that fail are told they are "unfortunate" because somewhere in their family tree their ancestors were constrained. My dislike for Senator Obama's positions have nothing to do with his race but his ideology. If Larry Elder would run for president I'd vote for him. I think Obama is a communist or communist-lite... I think he supports Rev. Wright's point of view of the Black Liberation Theology and, in general supports the same thing as most Democratic politicians... The idea of government being Robin Hood stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. I like Robin Hood if the King is evil but there is no basis for a Robin Hood in America because every flavor of American can look at the help wanted ads and if "qualified" become successful... Every American knows down deep the path... I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. and NO American should be able to fall back on any excuse like I'm unfortunate for not becoming successful. If you can make it then they can make it... those who think they are unfortunate because a politician told them they are unfortunate should not be able to open your or my wallet in order that they not be considered unfortunate.

What it said was that the state of Florida is paying Buffett's corporation in insurance. Do you research anything you spew, or are just a mouthpiece for Ann Coulter: The State Board of Administration agreed to pay Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway more than $220 million for its commitment to bond out $4 billion to help shore up the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund. Berkshire Hathaway's bond commitment provides the state with a total of $12 billion if the cat fund is tapped for $25 billion. The state would have to access the bond market for the rest. But, if it can't, because of the tumult in the credit markets, all policyholders will get hit with assessments, insurance experts say. Try again.

Well, yeah. Aren't you? So, Zack, on top of everything else, you are a liar. You stated that FEMA was paying for Warren Buffett's condos in Florida. This is a lie. When I point out your mistake, you again lie. You really are a Republican. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Maybe it's just your chosen words.About two months ago, CNN ran a short news story covering a town hall speech McCain was giving in West Virginia. The story was about the "Never-Ending" Question; a local man whom; when allowed to address McCain, Stammered on and on for more than 3 minutes without asking a question or making a coherent statement. When finally he could gather himself, he blurted out: "It seems like Black people are taking over the country"! After the crowd started to goad him to sit down; he finally asked a real question: "Why should I vote for you, Senator McCain"? Your posts sound like this man. Somehow they always come back to Black people. Not every issue in the world has to do with Blacks. You might want to remember that. It might be easier to keep your issues straight if you try to put them in the correct threads. On the original point of the thread; I think it was in poor taste to insult the President (any President) in such a way, but the man in question has broken no laws of which I am aware of. I think Jay Leno and David Letterman would have been jailed (or executed) long ago if there were any such laws in America. Last edited by nuttyjoe; 07-09-2008 at 02:15 PM. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

When debating either black people or white liberals on any subject it seems that someone will bring up my need to accept that black people are "unfortunate" because white people made them that way generations ago. This is the position of the Democratic Party and the mindset of the Black community "in my mind". Clearly, Afro Americans are more conservative as a group than those white members of the Democratic Party that labels them progressive. Clearly, those Afro Americans that fail to succeed in broken neighborhoods are the result of the Democratic Party holding them down and weakening them by labeling them "unfortunate". This FACT is as clear as the nose on your face when you see other races than white progress as a group ahead of the Afro American group. Personally, as a member of the white tribe that created America I prefer America to reflect the white tribe's founding values and culture. I don't want America to become Hispanic, Korean, Vietnamese, Muslim, Black or any other flavor because the superior Western European brains created America... the other cultures with lesser developed brains invited in could have did the same thing in their origin cultures but they didn't. This is not a white supremacists statement but a statement of fact... the white tribe had a superior culture then and it still does today. I think the best complement for any citizen of another race can make is to assimilate and reflect the proven superior culture and not demand an inferior culture as a standard. Hispanic, Korean, Vietnamese, Muslim, Black or any other flavors should not demand white people adjust to their culture but the other way around since the facts prove the standard of the culture was best of all cultures in the world. So, no, I do not find successful black people in higher positions than me as an insult but rather a complement. If black people become successful in America equal to white people then that is a good thing because it will be very easy to see that had that same black person remained in Africa he/she would not have. It is a complement to the white race that Afro Americans are at a higher level than African Africans. If you really want the moderator job then go back and re-read who changed the subject and you'll find it was not me. LIBERALISM - Emotional thinking fueled by ignorance | ||||||||||||||||||||||
