Haha, "self-absorbed" with the far right? Hardly. This is a public message board. The entire point is for us to share/post thoughts and points, etc. in order to facilitate discussion among members. So I post one thread regarding the far right and suddenly I'm "self-absorbed" by them. Please, that's just absurd.
Well, if the right is so embracing of minorities (Black, Hispanic, or Asian), they sure have a hard time conveying that message to the general American public. One just has to look at the numbers, like you said. As for the demographics, you do realize that by 2050 the US Census Bureau predicts that the US will be roughly 45% White, don't you? That was my point with my spiel about demographics. If the right doesn't start attracting more minority voters and keeps going the way that they're currently going, then demographically they're kind of doomed (especially if Texas were to become purple or blue due to its huge and ever-increasing Hispanic population). As of this point in time, the Republicans continue to drive away the vast majority of minority voters, so they either will have to adapt or suffer political demise. So, you might want to work on that whole "embracing" thing.
Also, Obama and the Democrats are not "socialist". Not even close. Like I said earlier in the thread, Obama would be considered a conservative politician in the rest of the Western world. Period.
Yeah, the ever increasing Hispanic population via illegal immigration and anchor babies. Is this something we should embrace or should we insist that our immigration laws be enforced and end birthright citizenship for anchor babies? Apparently Obama cares more about the ethnocentric Hispanic voter who thinks their ethnic group should be above our immigration laws and rewarded for breaking them rather than the rest of America. I can't wait to become a minority so I can demand that my fellow whites can come here illegally in as many numbers as they want or we white-Americans will blackmail our politicians for votes as Hispanics are.
Right and learn are oxymorons...mostly the latter. But hey if you can teach a righty to learn then you should win the teacher of the year award. The right just believe or have faith but learn? Good luck.
This post is basic regurgitation of leftist progressive propaganda. The complete inability of someone to think for themselves is on display in the above post
And how did I know you would claim to be world traveled.... very predictable
When people find they can vote themselves money, then the country is lost..... that is what has happened in America
Social issues were brought to the forefront specifically by the Dems and then blown WAY out of proportion by their state media. The election was won though based on promising people things
Nobody is going to vote Dem because of prochoice, no matter how much the baby killers want to believe that.
If being entertained means hearing the truth like I just did instead of your vivid imagination, then go enjoy your popcorn. Sprinkle some free thinking on it, I will supply some since you don't have any
No, the teabaggers and wingnuts will NEVER learn. They can't. This is particualrly true in the deep South, which I mention since Southerners have firm control of the testicles of all the cowardly Washington Repugnican 'leaders.'.
Look at history.
The Country had to go to war with the South in order to end slavery, even though by 1860 every other civilized first world country had long since abolished slavery.
We needed the Scopes trial in 1925 to even be able to teach Science, in the deep South.
It took until 1965, and dozens of Supreme Court ruling, to finally get rid of the Jim Crow laws. The National Guard was necessary to insure the rights of Southern Blacks to even attend the same Colleges and schools, as whites.
Even today, Southern States routinely Gerrymander voting districts, pass voter suppression laws, and often refuse to expand voting windows, as is common in the rest of the Coutry.
To this day, there is a high school in Jacksonville Florida named Nathan Bedford Forrest High. (Forrest was the founder, and initial Grand Dragon of the KKK) Today, this school is 55% black. Although there have been several attempts to get this schools name changed, all efforts have failed, with the standard argument given by the predominately white school board, "he is part of our heritage, and should be honored." Can anyone image a predominately Jewish, Adolph Hitler high school?
The point is that, at no time in its entire history has the conservative South EVER done the right thing on its own. In every case, they had to be forced into doing what any reasonable person with an IQ over 80, understood as common sense. They simply can't change. They're too ignorant, too bigoted, too scared, and too self serving.
And so it remains today. They're so sure of themselves, that they've actually managed to talk themselves into thinking that all of their radical beliefs are a matter of principle, and that only they can personally save America from the Kenyan Devil.
So, today you get them arguing the following................
1. All American born children of illegal immagrants, should to be kicked out of the Country.
2. Gays are the work of the Devil, and must be discriminated against, at every opportunity.
3. Give the rich everything they want. In turn, they PROMISE to trickle some crumbs down to the masses.
4. Every American should have the right to own automatic weapons, as the founding fathers intended.
5. Anyone that isn't a Protestant Evangelical, must be a Communist Atheist, and should be feared.
6. Anyone that has lost their health insurance due to job downsizing, pre existing conditions, or increased insurance premium costs, deserves whatever sickness they get, and should be allowed to die.
7. Any war, is a good war.
8. Any attempt of any kind to change America in any way, from the way it was in 1859, is a direct afront to their God given American way of life.
9. Pro life before any birth, and could not care less, after the baby is born.
10. Everything on Earth was put here by God, specifically to satisfy their own greed, gluttony, and blood lust.
11. All science is the work of the Devil, and is just another excuse to attack their American way of life.
12. Education is just another example of the liberals attempt to brainwash all Americans.
You are correct, that America has reached a tipping point, and the majority of Americans will no longer allow themselves to be manipulated by the right wing politics of fear and ignorance. The Republicans are just too extreme. Fortunately for us, the Republican party's reaction to the resounding Democratic victory in November is further proof that they just don't get it, and they probably never will. They don't have, and never will have a plan B. They remind me of people that simply speak louder when talking to someone that doesn't speak English. It's as if they think maybe we just haven't heard them the first time, so this time they'll yell a little louder. It never occurs to them, that THEY are the problem. Arrogant fools. But, in this case that's a good thing, as it only ensures continued Democratic party rule.
Wow. That took some effort. And I agree with about 90% of it.
If Dems are in the Oval Office until 2024 we won't have to worry about America anymore, China will own us at that point so we will just have to say Ni Hao and do what they tell us.
Again. Here are the fear tactics the OP is talking about.
Have some faith in a country that has overcome FAR more that the current environment. Come out of your bunker.

Another uncivil post by the left. They don't disappoint, do they? They act like a bunch of adolescents that haven't learn to respect another opinion without insults.
Being a Libertarian I have my issues with the right, but there is no doubt whatsoever that it is the left that is the major driving force in turning a once great country into chaotic third world cesspool, and will be ultimately responsible for the breakdown of civilized society in America.
The policies of the left encourage and reward subservience to the State and moral degradation.
From deficit spending to enable the lazy to live without working, to putting criminals on the street, to the degradation of the American culture and economy by open borders, to the evisceration of the very foundations of belief the country was founded on, the liberals use their flawed logic and belief in fantasy to undermine the country in every way shape and form.
They attack the bill of rights and believe that the passage of laws can take away the rights that for 300 years have been understood to be inalienable.
There is a growing groundswell of not only disagreement with the left, but one of mistrust and hatred so visceral that it can only end in great violence.
It is disturbing to see someone gloat and taunt a people who have been victimized, and I cannot help but to compare the current situation to Germany in the early 30's when the Jews had control of Germanys economy and banks and the resentment which came from their apparent victory. It did not work out so well.
I see this type of drek all over the place. Please tell me when the cesspool arrives. You guys just don't understand that it's been there and done that when it comes to this country. The list is endless of the tragedies and setbacks this great nation has had and WE ARE STILL HERE!
I hate the doomsday, run for the hills crap.
Now. Go ahead and call me a blind sheep.
I call myself a huge believer in America.

Yah cuz anchor babies is not a deragatory term. I thought you all were prolife? Aren't babies just babies? Maybe you'd like to throw them in jail too?

Haha so true. And they're the ones that go on and on about tolerance. So much hypocrisy

Yah while so much of the right doesn't even bother with tolerance.
