Unbelievable

Too many unrealistic movies.

PS- we have exactly the same "forced integration" problem here in Britain and it's not working, so I wish the government would designate a string of scottish islands as a 'Black Archipelago' for them to settle in.

Hopefully as these folks age out, their prejudices will go with them.

No one has a legal duty nor a moral duty to agree with your opinion.
He has as much right to HIS opinion, and to HIS memory of events
as u have to yours. He has as much right to express his opinion and to VOTE upon the basis of it,
as u have for yours. NO ONE has any duty to agree with liberals. I fight against liberalism as well
as I can (consistent with my innate laziness).

No one really means freedom of speech should be limited, what I'm talking about is pure, unadulterated hate. I don't know what to tell you other than she hates lots of folks, female politicians, anyone she considers to be a Yankee, Latinos, special hate on for New Yorkers. I'm not preventing that elderly rascist from spewing her vile insults, but I also don't make excuses for her either. The saddest part is that she has been an angry person for 95 years, spurred on by what she hates. I'm just happy I didn't have to live tormented by hatred all my life.

I forgot to add this: Choosing to eat lunch with members of one's race
is a bit less severe than denying treatment for a snakebite because
of the snakebite victim's race.

Besides, I'll eat lunch with anyone who has a good personality!

Ill eat with anyone who is buying.

David, there is a world of difference between voluntary association based upon commonality
and oppression based upon racism or any such mindset.

As for me, one of my guiding principles is not a political ideology of any kind, but the Golden Rule, which I at least attempt to follow to the best of my ability. (Incidentally, I'm inclined to fault the O.J. Simpson jury for acquitting him.)

I don't happen to agree with any form of racism,
whether it be represented by the likes of Al Sharpton or David Duke.

I hope you haven't stereotyped me politically for two reasons:
(1) I don't care to be prejudged, and (2) It's pointless, anyway.

I gave up on politics some time ago. I lost faith that much good would come out of politics. In other words, I'm not one of those whom you label as authoritarians -- which, incidentally, is a relative term (especially in politics). Liberals and conservatives have far more in common with each other than with the totalitarian movements of the 20th century. I think just about any freedom-loving person who ever lived under such a regime would agree.

Besides, I live in a one-party state (Texas), which means there is no real political competition. In the scheme of things, David, what I believe or don't believe has little, if any, consequence in the political direction of this country. Well, actually, I'd say none.

After a while politics gets to be silly, if not downright depressing.
People have different ways of defining "liberal" and "conservative."

For example, many people would consider me to be politically conservative
since I am pro-life (i.e., opposed to abortion on demand)
and am opposed to same-sex marriage.

I see no social good coming out of the legalization of pornography.

(I guess that makes me a reactionary.)
Hugh Hefner, whom many would consider to be a liberal icon, is one of your heroes,
but is definitely not one of mine.

I hope we're still friends after our last exchange in the Zimmerman thread.

I still consider you a friend since you are one of the nicest members of this forum -- except at times, perhaps, when you get your dander up.

But, then again, we're all human.

I respect your endeavor to be principled and consistent in your political ideology. I'm simply different from you in some respects, that is all. But, then again, I'm different from a lot of people on at least something. Some individuals are hard to categorize (such as me ). Again, I'm not one of your authoritarians. (Do you think the stances I mentioned in the paragraph above would be favorably received in a liberal or "progressive" forum? My pro-civil rights views certainly would not save me from scorn, not to mention emotional outbursts of anger.)

The kind of thing Robertson was talking about was not about race:

http://able2know.org/topic/191551-1

It was about whether people (any color) are happier before or after being dumbed down and made into a demoKKKrat kept voting block.

In the case of blacks, it's a question of whether they're happier now that 70+ percent of them are born out of wedlock or before that happened.

The one guy in US history who did the most for blacks was Dwight David Eisenhower. DemoKKKrats have never done anything FOR blacks, just TO them.






By the way, how's the blue-veined throbbing problem coming along.
