I know right. Just when I though I heard all the made up conservative principles, "not wanting to **** citizens off" or "disenfranchise them" pops up... A professional screenwriter could fantasize better... lol...

Kind of like how they're "fighting to save Medicare and Social Security."

My favorite used to be when they would talk about wanting to protect the environment. The morons don't even bother attempting to say than anymore, they just grunt out, "Drill, baby, drill!"

Conservatism isn't about race. I know you lefties want everything to be about race, but it just isn't so.

If I listened to you and cometclear, I would believe the TEA Party was a racist group. I am a conservative. I know who I am.

Right, that's why half the front page on this forum are threads about blacks, started by right-wingers. Who in the world do you think you're fooling, Scooter? You geniuses can't stop brining it up.

Scooter.... really? bwahahahaha

You are a riot. So far out in left field. I bet you're even more entertaining in person.

So much so that I've remarked before that I really should be compensated in some way, monetarily speaking.

Exactly. They go out of their way to alienating virtually every non-white group (and numerous white subgroups) and then whine that the people they alienate and exclude don't want to vote for them. It's almost like they don't understand cause and effect.

Conservatives don't want a bunch of the population feeling pissed off and disenfranchised. Make the best of being an American. Don't turn it into Europe... or worse.
I didn't say it because I wanted conservatives to hear it. I said it because I was born here. I said it for me. I said it because no one is going to tell me that this isn't my country. This was part of Dr. King's ideas. He felt like as American citizens, all people should be treated the same and guaranteed the same rights. He felt that if a Black American is an American, he should be treated like an American, and therefore, encouraged people to stand up for themselves, to make changes. Neo-Nazis would love to see people like me kicked out of this nation.

It is your country. Blacks have been in the USA since Day One. They were here before the USA became the USA.

The USA has never been a one-race or one-ethnicity nation. We've been the most racially and ethnically mixed nation that ever existed.
