Listening to cj and oralloy only confirms this is true. What can I say? This one is funyy because its so true!

Orally was posting that China stole jobs! No they didn't. Corporations exported jobs, not because they weren't making gazillions here, but because they can make a few gazillion more there.

Yes, indeedy do!

The idea that China has to steal our jobs when we send our jobs over there willingly...VERY WILLINGLY...is an absurdity.

How about a Black man and a Democrat? Talk about ruined lives, we are looking at Democrats ruining the lives of generations of Black people. And they continue to exploit and use Black people while doing nothing for them.

@bobsal u1553115,
I was trying to explain that to another one of the righties here after he slammed "Communist" China for taking our jobs. That was capitalism at work, comrade. Got to keep those Mall-Wart shelves stocked with cheap consumer goods. Profits uber alles you know. The USAmerican worker is expendable.

@coldjoint,
Guns are very easy to obtain in the USA. A liberal mayor can't do anything about that.

Chicago has very tough gun laws. You do not have a better excuse? Why don't you admit Democrats have made Black crime the favored vocation of Black youth. They do not educate the children. They do nothing to create jobs. There is the real problem, racism is a scapegoat.

Do you think they have a cordon around the city limits and check every car or something?

Because it's a stupid idea.

Neither do Republicans. That's the job of the schools, not the political parties.

You don't just "create jobs" out of thin air. The jobs that attracted non-whites to the big cities aren't there anymore.

Capitalism, combined with racism, is the problem. It's cheaper to warehouse the poor, hand out welfare checks, and let them shoot each other than it is to reconfigure the industrial base of the country. Why hasn't Trump developed an industrial policy and promoted a massive training program for the USAmerican working class?

The Myth of Chicago’s “Lax” Gun Laws

Quote:
While local restrictions on handguns are preempted under state law, Illinois state law recognizes any local “assault weapons” ban adopted before July 20, 2013. The result is a patchwork of laws in 23 jurisdictions where a gun otherwise legal to own in some parts of the state is prohibited. Any person traveling through the Chicago area with a firearm must carefully consider their route, especially if their trip takes them through a jurisdiction where Chicago, Cook County, or municipal restrictions have them unintentionally violating one of the local ordinances.

In light of the above, there are many words that can be used to describe Illinois gun laws, but “lax” and “weak” are not among them. This argument has everything to do with getting the public to focus on an irrelevant, but convenient, “answer” to Chicago’s ever-present and growing violent crime, and nothing to do with actually solving the problem.

Let it go, man. "Communism" is nothing than the Hebrew Day of Judgment or the Christian Rapture translated into a political-economic context. It suffers from the same faults as the religious ideas it apes. Pie in the sky, good guys win, sinners go to hell. Quit dreaming.

Not a chance. Communist influence and generations of propaganda is behind this crap going on today. BLM was founded by "trained Marxists" they have said so themselves. They have also admitted openly this is about getting rid of Trump. They will do nothing but help Blacks burn down their own neighborhoods expecting change? The change is they are worse off then they were before.

Because she's French or because she is associated with the pileus, commonly worn by the freed slaves?

Maybe, but it is more likely because she stands for liberty.

I do not care. It is an American symbol that says nothing but good about this country. Therefore, I am sure a lot of people want her gone.

Perhaps true that many don't like this symbol of welcome to immigrants arriving by sea.
