A couple of things, got home from work and read a lot of idiot statements. All I really have to say is....
1) Thinking Bush is a moron, is not a political view, it's a human viewpoint lol.
2)I'm not trying to stereotype the whole Prius/Silverado thing, it was kind of a joke, but kind of not. When I see a Palin 2012 bumper sticker on a Prius I'll say I'm wrong, hasn't happened yet, after A LOT of time on the roads.
3)I'm tired of this 90% of protesters are white because they are the ones being screwed over,taxed,etc. I know a lot of low life white people. I also know a lot of hard working 1st generation minorities, that work a lot harder than 3rd,4th, generation Americans. So don't tell me about stereotyping.
4)Don't say I'm trying to make a political stance and covering it up by saying I'm not political. All I can judge is what I see. I listen to Fox News, and a lot of Right Wing radio hosts. The way they act is frightening,once again,not from a political view just common sense. I don't know who is right, I just hope whatever happens it's for the good of America.
Your political stance is clear yoruur post was political
I just wanted to address one issue here about why there are more white protesters regarding the health care bill etc. I think it quite simply boils down to the fact that certainly not all, but the majority of black Americans have traditionally broke towards the democratic party rather than the republican. (This health care issue has obviously been very polarized among democrats and republicans.) Also, for the first time in history you have an african american president, are you as a black American very likely to protest his policies/agendas? Maybe, but not likely IMO.
Where are ppl getting the idea that "90%" of taxpayers are white and only "10%" of minorities actually pay taxes? This is completely unfounded. So, we are to believe that almost all minorities are poor freeloaders who pay no taxes and are looking for whites to pay their way? Have you ever been to the Appalachian region which is historically one of the poorest regions in the U.S., and also overwhelmingly white? I just don't understand how anyone can justify this racist tripe? I can totally understand why someone would question the Health Care Bill but at least have valid arguements for your dissent, not just "those blacks are freeloaders who are gonna rob me blind". Fact is the first beneficiaries of HCR are seniors and small businesses. This is fact not conjecure. The seniors will see the doughnut-hole closed on prescription drugs, and small businesses comprised of 50 ppl or less, who btw do NOT have to provide insurance, will be getting financial help so that they can provide insurance to their employees should they choose to carry h. insurance. How is that evil? How is it evil to want to see all Americans given a chance to receive adequate health care? The current state of H.C. was unsustainable, we were already paying for ppl without insurance. We have/had the most expensive health care system in the world yet we were 36th in terms of health, something had to be done.
if you are tired of how government is working (or the contrary), then register to vote and elect an official who represents your ideas the most. Then spread the word. Attend local town meetings, go out to volunteer at your closest voter registration office, and become active in the political sphere. There's a TON of dirt out there, but you don't have to become immersed in it.
The purpose is to try to keep this country from becoming just another Socialist state. We were founded and have the Constitution of a Representative Republic. We have rights endowed by our Creator. Government is not the grantor of rights.
The purpose is to stop our government's irresponsible spending that is burdening each citizen taxpayer to the tune of $115,158.00 as I type this reply. And currently total unfunded liabilities exceed the personal assets of each citizen by $115,294.
Do you fail to understand the implications of this as our government continues to crank out legislation that spends Trillions upon Trillions more of dollars?
Those who claim the Tea Party was founded upon racism are blinded by their own racism.
All I'm reading is Rush Limbaugh rhetoric spilling out of you. Where were you teabaggers when Bush took our economy into the red, deep, deep into the red. You were silent. Face it, your hang ups are primarily that you have a African American president & you can't handle it. If he sneezes in your eyes he's wrong. I guess you're going to say the rocks that flew into those congressman's windows were a fabrication as well, all Limbaugh bs who is the biggest purpertrator of the hate mongering going on. But please be advised that hate can be a 2 way street & if your crowd gets too funky we can all go down that path. There's always someone who can meet those teabaggers crazy for crazy, & worse yet there's always someone who can surpass them.

Allow me to flip the script so as you can see how ridiculous your statement is: Are you as a caucasian verly likely to protest a caucasian's president's policies or is every thing he does just fine & dany with you? Do you see the lunacy in your statement, yes or no?
I've sen plenty of these people who claim to be apolitical, and if you let them speak long enough, they regurgitate all the talking points on the left. Maybe some of them truly are apolitical, but they watch the news on the mainstream media, and they become just a part of the misinformed mob, and they lack the motivation to seek out the truth on their own... which means they are doomed to join the ranks of the ignorant 0-bots of the left. <shrug>
Let's play flip the script: Cause the same can be said about you & your closed minded Fox News Fools. That's the only station most of you watch other than Limbaugh & Hannity on the radio. And whatever Limbaugh say's you swollow it up hook, line, & sinker. Limbaugh & his clan are the biggest liars that walk the face of this earth! And for the life of me I can't understand what middle class, the poor, & backwoods hicks ever thought they had in common with millionaires like Hannity, Beck, & billionaire Limbaugh. Limbaugh who just a couple of day's ago agreed that insurance companies should have the right to discriminate pre-conditions, this I heard him say with my own ears, afterall he's a billionaire & can pay for whatever that ails him, how about you?
The liberal media wants nothing more than to paint the Tea Party as an insignificant bunch of right wing loons.
Granted, every movement has a moron or two, Tea Parties no exception, but we'll show em how insignificant we are come November.
I encourage anyone who loves freedom and believes the government's job is to defend liberty, not to enslave us economically, to look closely at your local Tea Party.
The media doesn't have to paint you as anything, all they have done is shown video's of your lunacy & we the viewers have drawn our own conclusions. But one thing you & I do agree on: wait until Nov, we spanked you real good in Nov 2008 & in Nov 2010 you've got another coming.

Calling that congressmen the "N" word, and Barney Frank a gay slur is taking it to far, they think because they think their was is right that it gives them the right to be bigots??? I turn on Shawn Hannity just to irritate myself. It is a absolute joke the stuff he says. He makes it seem like everyone conservative is a "Great American" and everyone else is socialists looking to ruin the country before their trip to HELL. He doesn't let people that disagree with him speak. It's a JOKE.
RANT OVER.....
I don't care who Barney but that POS wrecked my mortgage industry along with Dodd. They both should be...oh nevermind. Hannity and his You're a great American. Dude, shattup. Ya friggin' shill. Rush wannabe. He'll never amount to Rush. You might not like Rush but that cat nails it when it comes to Libs.
