Have you ever even been around someone that was wealthy.....

They are not all trust fund babies....

Most work hard for their money....

You share as much hate as any one other person on this forum.

Because I don't agree with your policies does not make me racist.....and blatantly calling the "other" side racist anytime you disagree does what for coming together?

All Republicans in Congress and in positions of power and/or decision-making should be replaced by native Americans.

Perfect example of why there will never be a coming together...

So your right everyone else is wrong....that's your reason?

You need to **** about Socialism you have no idea what it is, and therefore should refrain from talking about things you don't understand.

Another prime example...

Couldn't rep. This is true in many cases. There is the flip side of that coin as well, but that leads to a much more in depth conversation regarding opportunity.

Good post. I tried to make an analogy....

Your driving down the road and your coming to a fork in it. we have the chance to make a left or right.... However several miles back we threw out the steering wheel.

I liked your better.

Another good post.

Think you're going to make a point to these kinds of people? They are insane man, why bother?
Define "these kind of people" are you referring to other homo sapiens with the same rights as you?
Does that not also mean that you are insane to them?
