1.) It takes an unusually sick, fanatical breed of liberal to point to a group of people who have had their savings and resources taken from them by force for year after year, and who are determined to get it back....

....and try to pretend that their desire to get at least some of it back, constitutes "approval" of the thefts in the first place!

There are many similarities between the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the Tea Party in America:

1) Both are made up of largely rural, poorly educated members
2) Both incorporate religious belief into their politics
3) Both believe women don't have the same rights as men
4) Both believe in oppressive government policies limiting personal freedom

And both are deeply unpopular with a majority of each countries citizens, as both countries know these people pose a greater threat to personal freedoms than any political entity from either country

Some red states,like Mississippi,South Carolina and Louisiana have far higher African-American percentages than the nation as a whole. Would be curious how those "red"states compare to say a Nebraska or a North Dakota,with virtually no minorities. Same voting habits,different demographics.

I know the town I lived in was 97% white and had very low household incomes and was very dependent on handouts and voted reliably Republican. I think you can go through most of eastern Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, and rural California and say the same thing. I wont go past those states because those are the only ones I have been through.

The problem is the money medicare and social security is being misused and instead of fixing the problem and using the money for only what it is intended to be used for they want to throw more money at the problem.

Because the destruction wrought by government is so painfully obvious there. That's where people actually work for a living and actually must produce in order to eat. And, government in all forms and ways obstructs, harms, and punishes the people.

Except for all of your "facts" being completely made up BS, you're correct.

Why do conservatives always bring up race when you discuss welfare, actually, they seem to bring up race in general.

Because per capita, certain racial groups are far more likely to consume a lot more welfare money than others.

Why do liberals deny facts like that?
