Plain common sense about personal responsibility, small Constitutionally correct government and true equal opportunity for all. Now, for liberals equal opportunity is, by definition, always followed by equal outcome. If the outcome is unequal, then the opportunity was, with all certainty, also unequal. When conservatives point to a fair selection process, test or other criteria for determining those included and those excluded, liberals must find something wrong with the process to justify the unequal outcome. Thus the need for the bigot conservative. It isn't that conservatives are bigots. It is that liberals need a bigot to further their agenda. Without bigots their house of social engineering cards comes tumbling down. Hannety and I take due notice of Mr. Watts complexion and move on to what is important to us. We care about his values and his leadership abilities to include his integrity and consistency. When he says something, you don't have to check what he has said in the past to see if he is conflict with himself. He doesn't say one thing to one group and something different to another. He's someone we feel we could depend on in a time of trouble. I also happen to feel this way about Newt Gingrich. I feel exactly the opposite way about BO and also Clinton (both of them). I don't know any conservatives who feel differently about this issue from myself. But that doesn't change the fact that what liberals want they can only get if conservatives are fundamentally ignorant, inbred, rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth, racists who must be punished for being born white and male.
Pretty good analysis and pretty true.

I'll put my money on the Chinese and the Mayans.

The Chinese were the ones that invented gunpowder (plus many other things) when we whites were still milling around in our caves.

The Mayans were so mathematical that they split it's hairs across 10,000+ years.

The Egyptians and the Persians had a pretty fair hand in being bright about things too.

Americans couldn't invent their way out of using a club to find their brides.

The auto was invented in Europe ... so was the steam locomotive. The pratice of steel refinement was invented in Europe too. Nuclear Fission came from Europian scientists, and rockets were invented in Europe too ... the list goes on and on.

We Americans are just like our Roman counterparts, in that we steal any and or all technology that someone somewhere else invented.

Jews gave us our religion, and Rome gave us our calendar. The Irish gave us beer and the Italians gave us Pizza.
The Brits gave us crooked politics, and the indians gave us the land.

Yep, we're just a bunch of real bright folks.

You see, it's this way.

Success has more to do with your long term accomplishments. It's not what you have that makes you successful, rather it's how long you have it that foots the bill. Having something doesn't make you any smarter than the next guy. Don't believe me? Just take a look at our Congress. They've got all the power, and they're still as thick as a mud fence.

We white Americans are only as smart as the ones inventing the stuff we steal from them.

In other words, we treat them normally for they need no special treatment. We hold them to high standards, as we do everyone (that's equality).

Finally, criticizing dysfunctional culture (out of wedlock births, disdain for education, lack of personal responsibility) is incredibly interpreted as thinking those criticized as inferior. How idiotic. Thinking people capable of better is thinking the best of them.

Default racisist

Because they are racisist. Top ten quotes from Rush Limbaugh,the defacto leader of the conservitive movement.
1. I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.
Okay Rush, slavery was not a good thing for the millions of African Americans who were enslaved, raped and beaten. The streets weren’t at all safe for African Americans. Slavery not a bad thing? Someone should put Rush on a plantation for him to see how great it is. Keep on fear and race mongering Rush, you might get to Goebels status.
2. You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.
Martin Luther King is a national hero, not a black hero. Everybody in the United States celebrates his birthday, children are taught to look up to him as a hero in school. He’s earned the respect and admiration of the world and you believe the man who killed him was a hero? This is beyond racist. This is evil, mean spirited, subhuman. Praising the assassin of one of our great American heroes is beyond the scope of regular racism.
3. Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?
No but I’ve noticed that all racist bigots think like Rush Limbaugh. Comparing a respected black politician and minister to common criminals is Jim Crow racism. Maybe all black people look alike to him, but I’ve never seen a picture of a wanted criminal that looks like Jesse Jackson. A serial killer that looks like Rush Limbaugh on the other hand.

4. Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.
The communist connection is an old way of dealing with black leaders. They used it on Martin Luther King, they’re using it on Barack Obama and Limbaugh used it on Nelson Mandela. By siding with the racist apartheid regime over a world-wide symbol of peace and freedom, Limbaugh has shown he’s a global racist.
5. Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.
Limbaugh is once again fear mongering and race baiting by associating professional black athletes with criminals and gangmembers. He continues the fear mongering association of good, decent, hard working African Americans as criminals.
6. The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.
Now Limbaugh is saying that an organization with a storied tradition of representing the positive black people for change in their communities are criminals and rioters. An organization that has been represented by intelligent professional African Americans, that has played a part in the Civil Rights movement and continues to be an intelligent, concerned voice for the African American community is degraded to common criminals. There you go Rush. Keep racism alive!!!!
7. They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?
Decent human beings care Rush. Someone out of that 12% may just become President of the United States. Not caring about black people? Even George Bush wouldn’t admit to that.
8. Take that bone out of your nose and call me back(to an African American female caller).
Okay Rush that’s classy. The old African bone in the nose stereotype. Wasn’t funny when the racist white school kids called the black kids that and it’s definitely not funny when a grown man with audience of millions of easily influenced dittoheads says it either.
9. I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.
I wasn’t super offended by this, the whole black quarterback/coach thing has been going on for years in sports, but the quote was so offensive that Retired General Wesley Clarke said:
There can be no excuse for such statements. Mr. Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants, but ABC and ESPN have no obligation to sponsor such hateful and ignorant speech. Mr. Limbaugh should be fired immediately.
When a respected, retired general condemns the statement of a sportscaster, you know he’s gone too far.
10. Limbaugh attacks on Obama. Limbaugh has called Obama a ‘halfrican American’ has said that Obama was not black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna *** laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an ‘affirmative action candidate.’ Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for black a man who many Americans are supporting for president. Way to go Rush.
So Rush Limbaugh has managed to make racist attacks on four of the most admired and respected people of African descent in the past one hundred years, in Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Colin Powell and Barack Obama. He has called for the assassin of Martin Luther King to be given a medal, and said slavery was a good thing. He has claimed that Joe the Plumber, who isn’t even a plumber is more important in this election than Colin Powell, a decorated military veteran who has served honorably in three administrations. How can the Republican party stand by this man and let their candidates appear on his show? Rush Limbaugh’s comments are so racist, they’re funny, in a Borat, Archie Bunker kind of way. What is not funny is the millions of dittoheads who listen to him, who take in and re-spout all the racist rhetoric that he spits. Limbaugh’s statements are echoed in the racist, angry Palin/McCain supporters who shout ‘kill him,’ ‘terrorist,’ ‘communist,’ ‘traitor,’ ’socialist’ and ‘off with his head.’

Default racisist

http://www.militariacollecting.com/
Go to the link above and register in and post a few things about how you like Obama’s position on anything and you will be viscerally attacked and called a homo *** N###er loving *****. I posted on this site because I used to collect military items for historical purposes and thought that maybe a good conversation on issues could happen. After a long exhaustive well though out points that I made all I received in response was “you are a N%$^% lover, a ***, a homo, and so on. Not one point was countered weather it was because they could not accomplish this or did not want to. I believe it was the former. I was even threatened with violence and so was the president. I did copy all the threads and posted them, I was told that it would not be proper to post them here so I will refrain from doing so. On user who went by the user name Tom Hanson would whip up hate speech then when it got to the point of the low IQs threatening others and the president he would disappear from the thread. But his foot prints are still there for all to see. Where it is allowed I have reposted the threads for others to see. I am hoping that the gay sites and anti-racist sites I have posted on can let them know how they feel. You asked why people think that Conservatives are racist, Look at how many of them act. Go to any conservative site and you will most likely get attacked with the most base of insults and no substance.
They call you a socialist or a communist or any number of insults then try to ban you from telling your argument, then pat themselves on the back for being so superior. They will attack you for your sex life, or your lack of religion or any other means that they feel makes them above those who have substantive arguments. They are like dogs rabid foaming at the mouth, because they lost 2 elections in a row and they feel that they are loosing the country that was, the country that used to acquit whites for lynching blacks, the country that would send out State troopers to beat peaceful marchers like in Alabama, the country that shot and killed 4 in Kent State. They not only hate all that is not homogenous with themselves but want to stomp on it kill it off as if it were an infectious disease. When in fact they and their ilk are the disease that has infected this country for so many years. They are dying off little by little and they are afraid. This is why they are so dangerous right now. Look at Tiller being murdered, and the shooter of the Holocaust museum. Both degrees of right wing extremists. Limbaugh even goes as far as to say the Holocaust shooter was left wing. This is laughable if it were not so sick. Yes he attacked verbally Fox because it was not rightwing enough, not because he was left wing. This is another attempt by the right to spin the ball out of the park. Just like Limbaugh said that McCain lost because he was not conservative enough. Ya that’s it the country decided to move left because they really wanted to go right. Propaganda and more propaganda.

I have met many racist democrats

The only reason that republicans are labeled racist is because anytime you dont agree with a democrat or Obama you are called racist.

Democrats screaming loud and use it all the time. Its sad that they dont realize they are using a race to try and hurt the republican party

It's nothing new. It's had a name for it for a long time.

2 : a leader championing the cause of the common people in ancient times

— dem·a·gogy \-ˌgä-gē, -ˌgä-jē, -ˌgō-jē\ noun
See the mistake that is made is that people that are older are somehow racist. The real facts are a lot of older people knew how ridiculously stupid Carter type economics were for the country. They had to pay and stand in the gas lines for hours upon hours. The young people of this country got to enjoy trickle down economics for over 30 years and haven't a clue what having all the rich pay for it, high inflation, high unemployment and the taxing brackets ridiculously skewed. They'll soon understand...

But then I realize I'll be lumped in the same category as Ann Coulter and my skin begins to crawl.
