Don't believe me go to the politics forum where it's like a meeting of Neo Nazi's.
You need to figure out what the 'report a post button is' and use it. Otherwise, you sound more racist than those you are whining about. I may not agree with some of these people but to attack someone as a racist just appears that you have nothing to debate, just hate.

Bigot, racist, whatever. So long as someone can hold a civil conversation I don't care.

Well, I do ... there is nothing "civil" about racism. And when it comes from mouths that preach "patriotism" my blood nearly boils. Finest country on the face of the planet ... the greatest experiment in human dignity ... soiled by those who believe birthright of color and citizenship equates to earned freedom and respect.

Well, people do as good or bad as they chose to for the most part. Sure you can run into roadblocks, but MOST PEOPLE/AMERICANS push through them.

Lots of people put themselves in a bad financial position, wreckless spending is a big part of it, having kids when you are not financially ready is a big part of it, day to day expenses (renting above your means) that take too much of your income is a big part of it.

But I know, chime in "IT IS THE EVIL KOCH BROTHERS"..........Signed Lib.

Not really, people are limited by all sorts of things, largely due to their preexisting socioeconomics.
Talk to Seniors at a low income high school, the boys want to join the marines, the girls want to go to cosmetology school. Both sides think it is silly to wait until you are older than 25 to have kids.

They don't think about being doctors, or architects, or RN's or military officers.

It is relatively rare for someone raised in poverty to become high middle class or up

What is wrong with the Marines.............make sargeant and you are making pretty good money. Cosmetology...same thing.........get really good and you can make a good living for yourself.........just don't live beyond your means.

But I forgot............my thinking does not fit in with the LIBERAL victimology meme.

As for having kids when you are not in a good financial position to do so........well, you always have Big Brother's New-Deal-Type program AKA Baby Momma Bennies............great way to encourage deadbeats to crank out kids they have NO WAY of paying for themselves.

Heh ... definitely another "Serpico" planted undercover to discredit the Tea Party ... classic but over-reaching in portrayal of ignorance ...

Not necessarily a Nazi ... garden variety ignorant at the least, however.

An 18 year old FS firefighter will make more money than a Sargeant, and he can quit if he wants, and the food is better. Much Much better, and no one is setting IED's on your road.

Dang, I bet you don't know what the FS is.... city kids these days.

But, since you are here, tell me something. What have Conservatives ever done for the good of America?
