It must be wonderful living in your world where racism doesn't exist. Where Conservatives can do no wrong and only the Democrats are to blame for everything.

nowhere in his post did he say anything about conservatives nor democrats...

Then who was he talking about when he said leftists blame the right?

It's a sh*t argument that he won't defend, because even he knows it's a sh*t argument. He's literally just trolling at this point.

UTSA is wrong. I do blame the leftists. They are the ones wh have been fanning the flames of racial divide for my entire adult life. They ae the one who makes racial politics a key point of their platform.

Nah, this doesn't fan the racial flames













Dims are the party of the victim. The GOP is the party of personal responsibility.

Even if it were a given that some of that may well play a part, even today (not really buying that), and then what?

Hate to say it, yet again, but if you can't make it here, you are about as SOL as one could be. No where on the face of the earth, at any other time in human history, have more people been more free to pursue whatever the f$%^ it is they may want to pursue, than right now.

Today.

What could possibly be holding you back? Who? How? For every excuse we will hear, there are a near infinite number of people who overcame a hell of a lot more than any of these "victims" has or ever will face. War, REAL poverty, like mudhut poverty, lack of running water, toiling 20hrs a day in some field, whatever.

But, miraculously, they somehow get on their little Kon-Tiki, make the trek to the good ol US of A and within a generation or two they own a small store, a restaurant or two, their kids are all going off to "University", they live next door and vacation on weekends at their lake house.

Now, how's that?

The old tune goes "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere..."


Well, OTOH. If you can't make it here..., you're screwed. And very likely you're the one who screwed it up.



You wanna get ahead? Get a job. Any job.

This seems like a very good way of making sure you're only exposed to information which confirms your belief. I come here and read the articles posted by conservatives simply because it's healthy to make sure my assumptions about a political opponents motivations, actions, and positions are accurate.

What do you do to make sure you're not just being spoonfed positive information which has no interest in being fairly reported?

And this is the problem with America today and part of why we are so divided.

You will never hear the POTUS or Bannon or any other conservative tell their base to listen to all sources of information and make an informed decision.

Instead they will continue to tell you not to listen to the fake news.

Keeping fly over country ignorant is how they must retain power at all cost.

You want to know what I hate in America?

People sitting next to me in a Mexican restaurant that order fajitas. That crap smells up a room and makes my clothes smell after I leave. It is actually worse than farting around someone, as that smell does not wind up on your clothes, but this fajita crap is the gift that keeps on giving, long after you have left the restaurant.

Ban restaurant fajitas and stone the bastards that try to order them. Rude a-holes. At least smokers get up and go outside to wallow in their stench.

What do you hate in America??

I agree; however, it'd by hypocritical not to see the other side does the exact same thing. It's easier to scream and shout and operate within a vacuum than to listen to opposing viewpoints, etc.

The jerks that pull out in front of you and make you slam on brakes then either drive 10mph under the speed limit or immediately stop traffic to make a left hand turn.


A NC Highway Patrol Sgt I met once had the perfect solution. Every car is equipped with a semi-automatic rubber dart gun. Somebody acts like an idiot on the road...you shoot them with a dart. When law enforcement sees a car with three or more darts on it they pull them over and shoot them with a taser. Wouldn't take long and people would learn to be courteous on the roadways.

It's awful. I don't hate anybody, I can't think of person that I hate. I hate stupid ideologies. I hate identity politics. I hate racists.. I hate mean people. I hate people that tell me what to think. I hate people that wanna take my money and piss it away. I hate people that wanna take away my guns. I hate people that want to punish me or tell me I'm awful because I don't agree with their weird ****. I hate intolerant people. I hate people that aren't smart enough to argue points they don't agree with as effectively as one's the they do. I hate sneak attacks and disingenuousness.

Personally, I don't hate not one single person that I know.

I don't think that collectively this country even knows what the word hate means.
