Previous generations were far smarter than what you tout about yours here.

Have fun with that.
Aaand thank you for proving my point. We whippersnappers will just try to manage with all that scary technology you guys didn't invent.

Default God, what nonsense

Since when did anyone who is not ignorant care what bigots believe about black people?

Conservatives are always screaming about how blacks are lazy underachivers, who shun education, shun their responsbilities as parents, make excuses, and seek handouts, and here the First Family is the opposite of all that, and they still try to attack them. It's absurd and pathetic.

The Obamas are magnificent people, supremely educated and intelligent, superior in every way. They shatter that bigoted notion that blacks are inferior, and THIS is what matters.

...and don't you forget it either.

I word it as "he has yet to Preside".

But that's what irritates them the most. What kind of party actually has to keep sending out apologies when some member goes rogue and is revealed to have sent out cartoons of watermelons growing on the White House lawn? Or Republican judges that accidentally send out racist jokes and posts? Or Republican tabloids like the Boston Herald with the watermelon toothpaste? Every once in a while the mask falls off and you see the real face, then they quickly smash it back on and say "It's not about his color! By the way, I think he's Kenyan, Muslim, a terrorist and wants us to get Ebola!"

The man has had to battle blatant racism, a do-nothing GOP congress who has thrown temper tantrums and walked out and refused to return to session remember that little fiasco game they played that caused layoffs of Federal workers, parks etc?

creating a climate of hate and racism for years.



If you want to lay blame lay it on the do nothing fools in CONGRESS, congress is the one who holds all the cards not the president, the president can only sign or veto the bills the congress puts on his desk, and for the last 6 years congress has been completely, and utterly disfunctional, petty, and way overpaid.

Who is Obama facing blatant racism from? It is liberals who cry RACIST for as much as not liking his MOM pants. Really? You guys cry RACIST if someone mentions BENGHAZI.

The left has created the climate of hate and racism as they are those who scream it for no reason.

Are you naming all 535 member of congress as FOOLS? If you name any, name them all.

Those who vote 3rd party are the most patriotic of us all as they are seeking to right the course the corrupt of the other two have steered the country toward.

Voting D or R doesn't necessarily mean one votes with their head; it is most likely a habit or the only way they know.

I would think the young to look into 3rd parties more so than their elders. Libertarians should very much appeal to them.

I'm too young to know what happened in the 60s so I never expected the GOP would go bat*&#% crazy. But now I know. Now I know what Hillary meant when she said he couldn't get elected. She understood just what it was like. I had no idea.

You should have started and ended with that.

Why? Because you don't know.
If you don't start paying attention you most likely never will.

The grocery store here often has a coffee can on the counter with someone's picture and story on it about their heart attack, cancer, car accident, their kid who was killed or has leukemia- begging for patrons' quarters and dimes to be dropped in, see, this is the GOP method of providing "health care" to the public.

Here's how the "plan" works, in detail:

Your neighbors feel sorry for you after hearing the rumors, so they hold a bake sale, a garage sale and put a collection can out on the local supermarket's counter, after collecting a couple or three hundred bucks worth of dimes, quarters and dollar bills, they give it to you towards paying your $100,000 medical bill and to help you pay your mortgage, buy food, pay for utilities etc for the months you can't work and are laid up after surgery or cancer treatment.
If you really budget well, you could make that $200-$300 they raised for you to help pay your $100,000 hospital bill and living expenses while you recover- last for months just by buying a big 50# sack of rice, and having plain white rice 3 meals a day to make the money last longer.
The GOP "plan" these days is let the hospital absorb the costs by letting those with no insurance or money just go to the ER at $1000- $1500 a visit for minor colds, sore throats, their kid's sniffles or a toothache, then somehow the bill will just kinda be... paid... somehow... by some mystery, maybe god has a credit card he secretly gives the hospital to pay for it, I dunno!
That's why a major 150 year old Catholic hospital (St Vincents") in NYC went bankrupt and closed down- they were one billion dollars in debt! All the poor people from the city went there for treatment because they had no insurance or money, guess the hospital just wrote it off as long as they could untill they collapsed.
This is the GOP health plan, it works as long as the hospitals don't go bankrupt, I guess.
If this thread was based purely on conjecture you would win, hands down.
