There won't be another Black President for a long, long time. That's Barack Obama's true legacy.

If you judge my opinion by disagreeing with me, that's fine. But if you judge my opinion by trying to have me terminated, by trying to physically block people from getting to where I'm voicing my opinion, by trying to have my words banned, etc then that's a different story.

And that's what this thread was about. You're now twisting it into a simple disagreement, but that wasn't what the OP said.
Aren't you voicing your opinion now? How is anyone trying to stop you? No one is trying to ban your words, but keep in mind, I have the freedom of speech which means I can judge your opinion.

Also, who is trying to have you terminated? And terminated from what?

Why is that? I don't see why skin color would be an issue with voting.

The MSM and Democratic Party have no problem with setting back national race relations, or with polarizing Americans along racial lines to implement their mission of government.

It's perfectly possible to be critical of Obama without being racist, and there are a lot of conservatives who are not racist. Unfortunately, by your own words on this very forum you are not one of them. Is that the reason why you keep making threads complaining about other people calling people critical of the President racists? You don't like them labeling you with an ugly word you know in your heart of hearts is the truth?

I recall between 2000- and 2008 that it was treasonous, wrong and Un-American to disagree with government in any way shape or form. I heard countless times during that period "Either support your President, or get out" Funny how that changed in 2009.

Me thinking you hate the poor doesn't take away your freedom to continue to say you hate the poor, nor does it take away my freedom to have an opinion.

the liberals said during the bush years it was the height of patriotism to disagree with the government, now they say you are racist if you dont agree with the government.

we have to stop listening to the politicians, and say as americans in a loud and clear voice, we can disagree with the government anytime we damn well please, and we are not racist or unpatriotic if we do.

That must be because I disagree with Obama and his policies.

where is this great conspiracy. . .seems to me the only one who says you can't disagree because your called racist is people like the OP

where is the source of this? Where are people being shot down as racist for disagreeing?

seems to me a lot of people disagree, and very seldom are they called racist


so where is this conspiracy, or is it only a conspiracy of the OPs mind?
