CD politics, the left calls the tea party racist, and the right calls OWS racist in return. In the meanwhile there is no discussion about..... POLITICS. Reminds me of grade school arguments.

Let's discuss.

Obama has tripled the deficit. Borrowed from China.

Government ineffieciencies. Don't enforce sanctury laws.

Bloated government. 200% growth in size of govt.

Taxes. Every part of Barack's policies prohibit investment, which equates to tax.


Everyone at the Wall Street movement, smart as they are, forgot one thing.

Toilet paper.

Ok, now we are getting somewhere. I find this quite troubling and if it isn't addressed at some point we might find ourselves in the position of Greece.

Or maybe not. I had such high hopes.

Schultz and Olbermann? I wonder if both of their viewers were impressed?

Not sure why you were expecting enlightened debate on a subforum of a website designed to let people know where the minorities live in a particular town so they can avoid it.

What's new there?

No one, except the far left fringe, listens to them anyway.

What else do they have?

Can't really tout the FAILED liberal/progressive ideas and governance, can they?

I think that we (all people) need to be given the freedom to not be called names because of what we believe in. As a Black female who would be considered moderately-conservative, I can totally relate the what it feels like to be labeled because you know what is going on. I don't care though, I know that the people that try to label us are usually less-informed about the issues than the people they try to taunt and call names.

Basically, none of us should be afraid of expressing our views and fighting for what we want for this country. I think that people should support one another when sharing the same views.

Lastly, I think it is important for us to never tolerate racism. If something is racist then we should not associate with the group. If I am a Black person and I really feel that people are racist and hiding behind politics then I will not join up with that group. We can't be used and bamboozled.
