lol I like that. Of course you know that door swings both ways. What some one says about some one else, can always be said about them. And I've always said that about my siblings.

Well, it didn't work but I can see how classism and social stratification can ruin people's lives.

I think your case is different than mine because you said the rough people (i.e., gangsters and thugs) were in Puerto Rico. However, I don't know their individual situations. But I refuse to have degrading thoughts about any minority group. It just isn't fair to them. And we all know that white people have their group of thugs, gangsters, and neo-Nazis.
Keep separating yourself sweetie. It'll keep you special.

Christains have no place playing victims and trying to portray themselves as such. Christians as a whole are so sanctimonious and judgemental.

Do you really believe that people who are non-christians are just going to lie down and take it? Do you really think they won't fight back and go after you?

Here's a crazy thought. All of you religious servants to your religious books (not just christians, but Muslims, Catholics....etc); how about you practice your religion in your own heart.....your own head.....your own home and in your little churches. And keep it the hell out of Politics and society.

It always amazes me how Christians always speak out and against Islam and Muslims and their ways. Yet, Christians continue to be the leading haters and catalysts in mounting all these hateful, oppressive and fascist laws against which ever groups of people they may decide to hate on today or next week.

Far be it for me to defend Islam. You'll never see me doing that. My history here should be enough evidence. But how are you Christians any different when you want to oppress, physically punish and imprison homosexuals or anyone else you happen to have a hard-on for? Please, do tell me how you're different.
Maybe non-Christians should spend more time practicing love rather than viciously verbally criticizing, Christians and every one else they feel like criticizing. The true Christian wants to save souls by bringing them to Christ. They want to lift a person up, motivate them into being all they can be and more. I have never seen a Christian do anything but defend their way of life and their land. I've never seen oppression. If you see oppression, then hey, whatever floats your boat.

One of the core tenets of Leftism is to hate the strong and love the weak. It permeates their every stance. Christianity is seen as being a core institutional belief system in American society and thus it is to be criticized, ridiculed and condemned at every turn.

It is nothing but conformity to rebellion in an attempt to appear different which they think confers intelligence, enlightenment and progressiveness. It is prideful and tribal narcissism.

No oppression here. Just a bunch of people yelling.

Did you know this Phelps guy was a big wig in the Democratic Party? Ran for office in Kansas as a democrat seveal times.

He is a true example of leftist tolerance.

Videos are lost on me. I'm on dial up and it would take me three hours to see that and I'm not that interested.

I'll answer your question with a question.

Have you ever heard one try to motivate another?

It is the truth only as you know it. You're not even taking into the account that Christ was hung because He was liberating the people, not oppressing them.

I know a lot of "liberal" Democrats who are a bunch of fakes. I went to college with them. They were terrible! Tim Wise writes about them on his blog. http://www.redroom.com/blog/tim-wise...e-liberal-left
