Seriously this whole board has become Stormfront-Lite
And this is why the republican party chases away black conservatives like myself. Their rhetoric is so constantly offensive to women, blacks, immigrants and any other none WASP that I could never support them. Most of the conservatives I like have been renounced by the Tea-party led kabal and are called RINO's by the right. It just seems like they are cutting off their nose to spite their face.

So I guess what I bolded below is negative rhetoric too yes?

I wont go past those states because those are the only ones I have been through.
Granted I don't know how true this is but you get the point.
When you add up all the Federal benefits that these Republican counties receive from SS, Medicare, Tricare, VA, Govt Retirement Checks, Disabilty, Snap, EITC, SSI, . add on miliatry bases and other government jobs and it doesnt make any sense. The Republican Party is one big government check and yet they want small gubbermint.
Heres a link how a good part of the Tea Party types voted againt their interests.

You respond like many other conservatives I know. Instead of saying "you make a good point, we should change certain things" instead you say well look at what they said.
It would be nice if the Tea Party types admitted they were a bunch of hypocrites between their triple-bypasses courtesy of Medicare...that they never paid for.
Medicare isn't welfare. People work and pay into the Social Security/Medicare fund all their working lives. So, yeah, they did pay for it.
Because they are stupid enough to believe that just because they live in a low population area they somehow do everything for them self. They do not, most of them rely on the gov. for a SS check, someone to mine metal and basic materials like Oil, and then produce them into something useful. But because they live in some podunk empty crap hole they are independent. LMAO Not even close Opie.
1.) By your twisted logic, we should just all quit our jobs and go on some government program to get our money "back". What kind of logic is this? Oh, it's Paultard logic, nevermind, nothing to see here!
People seem to be equating Medicare with Medicaid. It's not the same thing. One you pay into all your working life, and you're supposed to get when you turn 65. The other is given to poor people who qualify, no matter their age. So, your logic is faulty, not the other way around.

Not really. I'm not sure how pointing out which group is using the most welfare is a bad thing. The government can't do much other than cut welfare.
Who is going to attack us? North Korea or Iran attacking the US is just a Red Dawn fantasy.
North Korea and Iran couldn't do it, but China and Russia are superpowers. What happens when the USA is no longer a superpower? Do you think the world will just suddenly get peaceful? Of course not! Someone will fill that power vacuum.
Generation X sort of believes the idea baby boomers are getting free stuff but what is scary is Generation Y totally believes everything baby boomers get they didn't work for as if it is something they were taught at Karl Marx University. Very disconcerting.
I don't think that, and I'm sure most Gen X'ers I know don't either. We're the children of the baby boomers, and we know you worked for it.
