Humans don’t see we are breeding. Not once in my life have I heard someone say that except in a derogatory manner.

For example, I once heard someone say, those Catholics breed like crazy. Is that not derogatory? It’s no different then the usage here. It’s only used when one looks down on someone else or a group of someone else’s to feel superior to them.

Anyway, you guys have already made up your minds. That’s my opinion of the word “breeding”.

Because the core of both parties takes cash from the corporations to make sure they get cheap labor they can exploit.

Can't off-shore a poultry plant job but you sure can on-shore the labor.

One of the great con-jobs of my life-time, exploiting labor, crushing unions, stagnating blue collar wages and anyone that complains about it is just racist. It's diabolically brilliant.

Because she labeled a lot of blue collar obama voters that were frustrated with the status quo as such.

I'd like to see Trump gone and the Dems get back at least one part of the house or senate back under control and comments like that are incredibly stupid politically. NEVER EVER attack the voters.

It's like ROmneys 47% comment on steroids. Remember how well that went over?

Savvy?
How many people do you know that have nostalgia for the 19th century????

No it is not. At least not inherently. It is a controversial and offensive term, but that doesn't instantaneously equate with racism.

What isn't racist to the left?
WE just learned that the word swarm is racist.

Who exactly is "anti-immigrant"? or did you conveniently forget the "illegal" part?

Of course they intentionally leave the "illegal" part out. Sad how they talk about wanting a comprehensive immigration system fix while at the same time wanting no borders; an absolute contradiction.

They talk out of their arses. A confused bunch for sure.

At this point the list of what is acceptable to say is smaller than what isn't acceptable. This is how a totalitarian society functions. They'll throw you in jail for speaking your mind, because words are a weapon to be outlawed.


Here is a great read from the UK:
A to Z of politically correct madness | Daily Mail Online

A to Z of politically correct madness: The Left's 'Thought Police' continues to censor language as 'manfully' is labelled sexist

  • NHS hospital consultant accused of sexism after praising a father
  • Cambridge academic urged colleagues not to use words such as ‘genius’
  • Suffolk council has been criticised for using the term 'cat's eyes'

Anonymity doesn't change the fact of how many posters eagerly display their idiocy, while claiming to be the smart ones. Fools
The Rust Belt and Industrial NE didn't decline recently..... this has been a multi decades long affair. The tea party/far right wing narrative was about producers vs takers. Why doesn't that apply to the people who choose to not adapt or improve their lives? Because they are your "people"?
