Like GTS said in another thread, the language you libs get away with, while receiving no challenges to it, is reprehensible.
I find it funny as hell that these Socialists rail against the Tea Party while ignoring their own VP...."They are going to put ya'll in chains"!!!

The phrase "thin intellectualism" - coming from UM2001 grad.

Never said it was, but don't let that get in the way of your narrative....

The few who do take part are elevated to rock star status in an effort to pretend like the movement isn't 99% white. So if you want to claim that the lack of minority involvement isn't due to something inherently racist about the movement and its message, then you must argue that there is something flawed about those minorities who won't take part. Please, expound on that. I'd love to hear it.
What percentage of the lower-class black population votes Republican? So considering the lack of oppostion party involvement isn't due to something inherently racist about the movement and its message, then one must argue that there is something flawed about the generational bill of **** these folks are willingly sold. Paraphrased from your words, not mine.

Let's be quite clear here. There are many poor and minority populations in the United States. Many, if not most, have succeeded in generational advancement of the collective's economic situation, and for the ones that have not, government has subsidized behaviors that retard advancement of that particular group. Either you are improving your lot or you are a victim......and those that have "accepted" their roles as victims have understandably underperformed. Such political manipulations are supported by Leftists looking for political gain, mortaging the economic implications of such policies on those they claim to hold dearest.
And the President is a socialist. Demonizing the folks that create wealth in this country, raising taxes on those that pay the largest percentage of tax dollars (for programs from which they never see the benefits), socializing health care, not having everyone own some accountability in the process, socializing the auto industry, and sectors of the banking industry. "Share the wealth" is not an American ideal, it is a Marxist one. ANd I never used race in this comment.....

America is full of those stories. That's what makes us a great nation, not a "once great nation" like you say. As for you and your wife, it's humorous that you think your individual situation matters or that I was pointing a finger individually at you. Yet another example of thin intelligence from a TBagger. I was hoping that maybe you would be a TBagger worthy of real discussion, but you've rapidly shown that's not the case. Oh well, I'm patient. I'm sure one will show up eventually.
When my argument is based upon individual responsibility, its humerous that you discount that very experience that supports that notion. My story is one of success, not failure or victimization. I consider myself a fiscal conservative and socially-liberal. I could not care less what two consenting adults do behind closed doors, as long I have no responsibility to finance their behavior. Andrew Wilcow put it very succinctly...your right to be "you" does not supercede my right to be free from you...
I owe you and your history, issues, bad choices, etc nothing...and expect nothing in return.
You are completely wasting your time. He went to Memphis. That's barely above Arizona state. He already admitted that they wand you and pat you down when you go to class there, his education (or really a lack there of) proves what a degree is worth from that repugnant university. He brings nothing to the table time and time again.
They wand you and pat you down at Memphis? I have friends there right now... and that's not true, even if he told you that he's just trying to stir trouble up and if you're making it up it's just not true.
You go to miami!!!! That's literally one of the two or three universities that is worse than Memphis!
