It's enough already We need to cut back across the board - and that includes Military Defense Spending and Welfare spending. We need to repeal the IRS and replace it with a National Sales Tax. End most of the war on drugs, and legalize marijuana.
If you did the above, the revenue created would help pay our national and state debts. Not to mention boost our economy.
PASS A BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT, WITHOUT ANY WAIVERS. That
way Congress can not lift it, when they deem fit. Congress is always deeming something - that's why we are in the mess we are in.
And last but not least:
Lift the prohibition nation wide on Industrial Hemp - I want to be a Hemp
Farmer Makes no sense to import something, we can grow just fine
here in the good old USA. I call it corporate obstructionism at it's worst.
Hemp should be our Green Technology

"Outlaw ear marks in bills. If you want a 2 million dollar library in your district propose a separate bill
eliminate income taxes and all federal taxes and replace with the fair tax.
Set the fair tax 2% above revenue neutral. take the 2% pay down the debt. When the debt is payed off lower the percent of the fair tax. be able to raise the fair tax rate in time of war."
Actually you can check the demographics over 95 percent of blacks voted for obama. If it was the other way around everyone in america would be called racist. h
Was it racist when 94% of blacks voted for LBJ in 1964? Seems to me blacks have been voting in large numbers for Democratic candidates (White or Black) for some time.
Some sample percentages of black vote.
71 Roosevelt(32)
77 Truman(48)
94 Johnson(64)
88 Kerry
95 Obama
So you are a liberal. Good, glad we got that cleared up.
Shout it from the rooftoops

Lions are animals. Yellow is a color. The sentence "all lions are yellow" isn't equivalent to "lions and yellow are the same." In fact, the first is true while the second is false.
In other words, your A=B premise is false. I think the argument you're trying to make is as follows:
Liberals are intolerant. DSNYSANMAN is intolerant. Therefore, DSNYSANMAN is a liberal.
This argument is also invalid since it doesn't follow from the first statement that all "intolerants" are liberals. Your argument is really no different than the one below:
All lions are yellow. My sofa is yellow. Therefore, my sofa is a lion.
Edit: for what it's worth, I also think that the statement "all liberals are intolerant" is false.
Liberals are intolerant? Not when it comes to social issues. If you call yourself a conservative in America, it's likely that you:
- Oppose same-sex unions
- Oppose allowing gays to serve openly in the military
- Oppose legalization of marijuana and other drugs
- Oppose pornography
- Opposed striking down sodomy laws
- Opposed interracial marriage
- Opposed making divorce easy

Liberals are for freedom.
I classify myself as a conservative but many of the issues you claim conservative are opposed to is simiply not true.
I have no problems with same-sex unions. I dont care what they do just dont want them to do it around me.
Gays serving openly in the military. I am not in the military and since I am not in the military it isnt my place to say it should or should not be allowed. I say that should be up to the military not civilians who know nothing about the military.
Legalization of marijuana is something I am for. Why should people be allowed to drink but cant smoke weed. That to me is non sense.
I like porno much like most people.
I personally not into sodomy and wont do it but if you want to go ahead. Just keep it to yourself. None of my business.
Interracial marriage is a very complex topic. There are many blacks who are against it especially black women who find that when a black man becomes successful he goes with a white woman. There are many whites who believe that the white race is in decline and interracial marriage is part of the cause of that.
I am for making divorce easier. If you are married to someone you dont want to be why should you have to stay married. In nyc they make it very hard to divorce which is more of a liberal thing then a conservative thing. Making it harder to divorce is more for the woman's protection then anything else.
Liberals are for freedom is a flat out lie. When you think of it liberals are for slavery. When you have me work and take taxes from me to give to people who dont want to work for their section 8 and welfare. Is that fair? Is that for freedom? Free government money is never free. It comes from people like you and me who work hard for it.
Hi I would like to start this thread because I am tried of the misconception that liberals are very progressive people. Liberals are only progressive when it suits their needs. If you do not share the same view as a liberal they will try to silience you.
There is a big difference between being intolerant and not suffering fools well.
In a thread based on the premise that liberals are intolerant, the maker of the thread subtly suggests that the white race is being destroyed because of interracial marriage. LOL forever.

Out of everything I said it is that which you choice to comment on which is very telling on how you feel on the subject. I guess you are assuming I am white and not a black female. I never said that I feel that way.
