Okay, Health Care Reform Has Passed---

Jar,I only know what the news had on and yes, it certainly could have been manipulated.

Since you all threw any sort of decorum out the window, I'll just jump in and play too. Nice squishy mud...should feel right at home. Who cares, if you don't why should I? You want a double standard, have at it. You can just "suck it up" too. I expected more...I was wrong.

Just curious, are you going to answer my question about the white trash thing?  

As far as dealing with the "Good American", use facts and logic that take apart his argument.  Kinda like I've been doing.

Cowboy up~~.. Life is full of double standards ... grow a pair and deal with it!

I so agree with that statement.

So then I guess that means that Varmit is such good " chest bump" buddies with the Pres. that calling him Sambo was just a term of endearment. I stand corrected. Ha.
  I find it interesting that when a victim complains there is always a group of people that are happy to help that person see that he/she should "like" being a victim. Suppose the people involved were girls? Should they pull out their weapons and shoot...at age 8. Ya can be dead right ya know.

No need for weapons, just teach the gals to knock the * out of them.  I've got i don't know how many female cousins, and if any man or woman tried to bully them, they would knock them into next week. 

Since you are white you will naturally see things differently. How can you possible speak for another race?

Because i lived around different races, participated in activities with other races.  I can tell ya the ones who raise the most hell about racism are the young ones.  The older folks know what racism is.  And they know that it is nowhere near what it was 50 years ago.  These kids today don't have a clue as to what racism is all about.  Most of them have had opportunity handed to them on a silver platter. But theres a whole lot of em that refuse to use it to better themselves.   Even Bill cosby has come out and told the blacks that its their fault not the white folks fault for their predicament. 

Now congress people are getting threats and bricks. I thought you folks said only Democrats resort to violence when things don't suit them? Is that about to change? We fight among ourselves, we open the door for our enemies. By the way,I'm not upset, just very disappointed at about 3 different levels.

I have hear rumors but i doubt its happening.  Just like the staged barny frank saga in the capitol building hte other day.  it was setup to start a controversy to make him look persecuted.

Ok, I read the article. It did mention that the spade phrase was an old slur. How could I be wrong when I  heard it used myself as a kid? Some of the local back woods hillbillies used every slur there was. Oxford and Rising Sun were rampant with Klan members in those days.

Oh lord, Diane, the klan is nothing but a washed up group of skinhead idiots.  They aren't even a consideration anymore.  Most Confederate southerners laugh them out of town.  They come in and act like blithering idiots waving the Tennessee battle flag around like they know what its all about.  The idiots came into town one day back in 2000 i think, during a re-enactment parade around the courthouse square and the re-enactors with their LOADED weapons corralled up the klan, too the battle flag away from them and ran  em out of town. 

The klan was not a racist organization to begin with.  It was started by Nathan Bedford Forrest in order to run the carpet baggers out of the south.  It was very successful at first, but then when they ran out those lowlifes, some of the chapters started taking on anyone they didn't like. So Nathan Forrest dissolved it.  Later on a group brought it back to life as a group that took on northern judges that wouldn't uphold the law. then they got worse and worse throughout the years as more evil men took over. 

I grew up with klansmen all around me, and the only time they ever went after anyone was when the courts wouldn't do anything.  Remember when one fella was beating up his wife all the time.   They stopped it quickly.  He was the most respectful man around women afterwards.

They did do some good.

I think its cause he is afraid that netenyahu is going to bitch slap him.

Lordy Lordy Steve. Someone from the East coast is gonna be on you like a fly on goat poop. "Bitch slap" is a sexist remark and I heard that said on Comedy Central by a black female  comic so it's quite possible it'a racist comment too.

Oh crap i'm sunk.....

[srkruzich]

For one instance that comes to mind, not that I have spent a lot of time thinking about this, the black man who was the high school janitor would get after the boys if they were up to something and they did call him a spade on more than one occasion, behind his back.The one boy, a deadbeat red head whose name I still remember, was caught by Mr. Webb, the vice principal. One other was the one black bus driver who made the kids behave. He kicked kids off the bus and got called every slur there was. This was all in the late 50's. Surely it wouldn't happen today. Varmit,I did miss your one post...went back and read it, not sure how that excuses any thing.
There is one fellow on another forum who is just as passionate about hating Bush. He totally believes that G W had explosives planted for 9-11 and swears that the buildings couldn't have come down like they did without help. He trots out all kinds of "proof" and calls anyone who doesn't hold the same opinion all sorts of names. He calls himself "The Good American."  He wants Bush arrested for homicide and really believes it! He goes on and on and on and on. What do you do about that kind of extreme thinking? He doesn't suck it up a bit well.

Oh i love people like that.  I would just feed his paranoia!  LOL

I never did get you guys to understand and my concern has grown legs and walked into all kinds of other discussion. So I give up.You've all taken a bite out of me, fine. I hope the next Republican president has the same problem...Hope he's of a different race too ,that would be lots of fun to watch to see who squirms. Most people still can't seem to grasp the difference between race and ethnicity.

[greatguns]

It must be spring sure enough 'cause all the skunks are out.

Diane, don't you understand, no one gives a damn anymore about race and ethnicity outside of being fed up with it being forced on us.  This bs of calling ones self a afro/chinese/japanese/polkdotted- american, had gone far enough. Who gives a rats fanny where they originally came from.  Heck my folks came from croatia.  So what.  Big freaking deal.  The fact is we are no LONGER african/polkadotted/japanese/chinese ect ect ect IF your born in America, your AMERICAN. Your ethnicity is AMERICAN. 
This country was less segregated in 1960 than it is now. Everyone now seems to have to have their own group to be a part of. Well what the hell happened to being AMERICAN!  and being proud of it.  America was always called the great melting pot.  thats because everyone came over and became Americans.  Now no one is suggesting that you can't know your heritage.  But why must we lessen the title American by adding to it?
