  • You do pose a real question. Only 1 of those guys do I consider a friend and that's a long and contentious story I'll get to it sometime. The rest are really acquaintances and if I never saw them again I'd be okay with it.

    But you complain about anecdotal?

    Come on.

    At any rate I just assume that you champion 1 particular demographic in the way you do because of political or financial gain.

    I'd ask you to at least think for a minute after the New Deal the Great Society the Civil Rights Act and four long years of Obama it seems as though their situation has worsened.

    Not only that but in almost every intercity ghetto the politicians are predominantly Democrat and usually black as well.

    Blaming me or other people my color wins elections but it doesn't solve anything.

    Frankly I think your side has too much to lose by taking down the racism banner.

    As for being a bad day, my 3 major concerns today have nothing to do with the empty suit.

    Is it too much of a cliche to say it's not a bad day for me it's a bad day for America!

  • I complain about anecdotal when it keeps being trotted out to prove that Democrats are the real racists, yes.

    Look at the results of the election, my man. Just look at them. Which party has a broad coalition of people, races, etc., and which one is largely made up of older white people, especially older white men? And here's the reality of why that is: because minorities know how lots of Republicans think about them. You really think I could bring a black or Hispanic voter on this board and show them what the Republicans on here write and it would win them over? Or that it's confined to this board?

    Ana Navarro, who is Hispanic and Republican, was making this point on CNN last night. She wondered if Republicans actually believe that Hispanics don't hear the way Republican base talks about Hispanics (illegals and criminals), or that blacks don't hear the way the base talks about blacks (lazy welfare moochers). Then she said that Romney might have lost the election because he had to run in the Republican primaries. Her line was "He self-deported from White House."

  • At any rate I just assume that you champion 1 particular demographic in the way you do because of political or financial gain.

    This is one of the more laughable attacks you level, and you do it with a fair amount of regularity. Yes, Steve, we're evil, underhanded people who don't have any real beliefs, like, say, that racism is a bad thing and should be called out, we're just using it as a lever for partisan advantage. And financial! I know talking to you about race on a fucking message board has made me a very rich man! Why, if there weren't so many scheming Democratic political operatives using racism for financial gain no one would even notice racism is there!

    Or maybe it's because we think racism has no place in American society, and that calling it out is how that society improves. And has. Just a guess there.

    I'd ask you to at least think for a minute after the New Deal the Great Society the Civil Rights Act and four long years of Obama it seems as though their situation has worsened.

    This is pathetic. The New Deal had nothing to do with improving the lives of black Americans, so I don't know what you're talking about. And the Civil Rights Act was about civil rights for blacks. You're contending that blacks were better off before the Civil Rights Act? What fucking universe do you live in? What's more, the economic and educational status of black America has improved dramatically since the 60s. You'd have to take Great Society and anti-poverty programs individually. And the Obama statement is just fucking funny. That's some hackery.

    Not only that but in almost every intercity ghetto the politicians are predominantly Democrat and usually black as well. ...So? I don't know what your point is. You would like them to vote for someone they like less, but you like more? Should Evangelicals in Colorado Springs vote for black Democrats? It'll be like an exchange program!

    Blaming me or other people my color wins elections but it doesn't solve anything. ...Not true at all. Depends on if those people are at fault. Then they should be held accountable for not solving things.

    Frankly I think your side has too much to lose by taking down the racism banner. ...I'm sure you do think that. But you think a lot of things about Democrats, and they're all wrong. They're always pathetic caricatures from a grumpy old man who prefers resentment over facts.

  • Got lots of work to do today. I'll let you simmer in peace.

  • <br /><b><br /> By the way Saint or whoever you are if you keep this shit up I will ask the administration to boot your ass. <br />WSS </b><br />

    You have no bearings or hold on what I do or say. Neither does any one of your administrators for they are the jesters to the rest of the foolish children in here.

    I laugh at all of you fools, you can have your king while you celebrate the victory and destruction of this country that no longer serves our Lord. My comments are not meant to be racist but to grab attention of the evils that exist in our current society. We have foolish people who celebrate the deaths of unborn children they celebrate the homosexual movement and now they have their king.

    I understand that you read a lot, I'll suggest that you read up on what happened to the people of Israel who followed evil kings.

    Oh God.

    Well, no one ever said O'Reilly didn't have an audience.

    I love this board. I really do. The Republican ID perfectly distilled, all of its component parts represented. You've got the paranoid Tea Party mental patients who'll believe any conspiracy they're told to believe and think Democrats are out to destroy America (Cal, Mr. T, Bunker, etc.), the older white resentment faction (Steve, Diehard, etc), the normal, less ideological guys (Cysko, Leg, Kosar), and the intellectual/financial elite (Tupa).

    We're really just missing the born again/megachurch variety to remind us that Jesus is the light and the way.

    You're behind the times and take off the blinders- America is already destroyed, and yes the Republican party is almost equally to blame. We have a Washington bureaucracy answerable to no one. The snowball is already on it's way down the hill, it would just have taken it longer to hit bottom if Romney had won.

  • A great rule in politics is that usually when someone tells you "take your blinders off" they're the ones who are blind and have nothing to say.

    Though it is funny how universally accepted is the premise that Democrats don't know we have a fiscal crisis on our hands and now that Obama is elected we're going to go right off the cliff, when, of course, this election was partly won because President Obama's ideas - which, yes, were vague and incomplete during the campaign - on how to address the problem were preferred over Mitt Romney's.

    About 2/3rds of Americans prefer the Clinton-era tax rates to the Bush-era tax rates. That's what Obama campaigned on. Romney campaigned on lowering them way beyond the Bush tax cuts and then paying for all of this in fantasy land.

    Obama won.

    Let's not forget that Obama and Boehner were close to a deal on this stuff. They've just got to get a little closer.

    So you guys can just shut up about how you're the only people who can do math and liberals are just gleefully driving the car over the cliff. If last night taught us anything it's that Republicans are in denial and can't do basic math.

    For one you do not even know what the definition of racist is. I also see that there are over 10,000 people who are members of this board and it is arrogant cunts like you who have ran them off, some feel as if it isn't worth the time to discuss politics let alone sports with manipulative cunts like yourself, so why bother.

    You are a waste of time and a waste of human flesh, so I wish you well and that you see the error of your ways so you will not be damned to hell.

    Take an other look at the polls and you will see that your beloved magic negro barely won, so there is still a good bunch of people in this world who care about values.

    The new normal in your eyes and perverted thinking is a road to destruction.

    And they all think you are....

    Anyway, O'Reilly is right, and that's pretty much what your own pundits have been preaching all day.

    And basically they are right. There are fewer older white employed people then there were and the number ain't increasing.

    So you have a coalition of people who don't like older white employed people.

    All day long the suggestions have been to reach out to those group.

    anywhere to the right of them and you won't get the vote.

    And if you plan to get to the left of Obama?

    How do you do that?

    Food stamps for Morton's of Chicago?

    Section 8 housing in Thousand Oaks?

    Make Spanish the official language?

    Completely open the borders?

  • This is really pathetic, Steve. It really is.

    Keep talking that way, I guess. Keep not understanding the relevant issues. Keep framing everything as "white people work and minorities take from those who work." It's a doltish, simplistic, wrong-headed, and insulting way to frame a myriad of economic and fiscal issues. And it only helps Democrats win.

    In all of the years i've know you, you've refused - flat-out refused - to learn anything new, or to express another opinion than the 5-6 you have, this being one of them.

    All I've done is state whats clearly true.

    I understand that it upsets you.

    And since you know that all you can do is sputter fume and attack.

    But you are correct.

    It is most certainly why Democrats win.

    It may be time to understand that the United States is past the tipping point.

    It is a natural and expected symptoms of an aging society.

    Aging, of course you understand, over the last couple centuries.

    Keeping the brand alive is hardly relevant.

  • Why do you always do that? Aren't you a grown man?

    You write something that's so devoid of anything interesting or meaningful. It's just recycled cant. It makes me miserable to read it. And then in the next post you tell me that it's so genius I can't stand it.

    Why don't you accept that I think you're all sorts of wrong? Because I think you're all sorts of wrong. It's not "truth" by anyone's standard but your own.
