Please, Aeroguy, lay out your reasoning. What is the connection between Montgomery County's policies and its supposed increasing poverty? Tell us about the "liberal stupidity" and how it's hurting the county. Here's a secret, I don't have any confidence that you will. Prove me wrong.
Standby. I have the refutation, just not the time at the moment to post it.

I can see why you take what he said that way if you read the first portion of what he said, but he explained later in the post why he believed white people leaving Montgomery County was bad. It does appear to be a correlation between the white population and wealth. After all no other race can claim the amount of wealth that whites on average have in this country. No matter what the reasoning is, when money leaves the county it hurts. You are making his post too simplistic. He said more than that. Whether you agree or not, he explained why whites leaving was bad. Do you disagree with the idea that having a higher immigration rate is damaging to the economics of Montgomery County?

Just to be clear, but, when you say immigration rate into the county, you're excluding whites who immigrate from other states, and/or countries, right?

Unfortunately, I think the socially accepted meaning of immigrants legal or otherwise, slants toward Latin Americans in the current social discourse. So, it is important for people to break out which immigrants they are referring to in order to be politically correct. That doesn't happen too often.

You know, I never would have thought of this theory of yours myself (I'm just too innocent I suppose), but it just MAKES SO MUCH SENSE THAT IT IS SCARY.

Of course. I am referring to white Americans. White Americans are the wealthiest group in this country. White immigrants (which technically does include the Latino group that was mentioned) belong in a separate category. How likely is it for one to come from another country and have wealth by American standards.

You know what also makes sense, liberals, who mask their racist views, who know very few black people but feel 'connected' to blacks because they support policies that is supposed to ' support black people'.

See I don't know any black people but I voted for Obama and I support food stamps so that must mean I am not racist, right?


But that's right they voted for Obama so those individuals can't be racist right? **Looks at a picture of Harry Reid while speaking 'good negro dialect'.

That's pathetic how you have to lie in an online forum and backtrack, actually have a pair for once and don't pussyfoot around your beliefs. I see why you Teabaggers always have to own a dozen guns, such fraidy cats that you have to constantly lie, be deceptive and parse your words

You have no adequate explanation explaining why if liberal policies were so terrible, why is Montgomery one of the richest counties in America and why are all the richest counties in America liberal/Democratic? You'd prefer we be like some sort of ignorant Mississippi clone where you can spout your racist garbage in public and not get called out on it. You're to the point where you have no sense of respect for others, living in your tiny underutilized provincial mind, so my reason is definitely flying over your head but maybe talk with some of the smarter people in your nursing home (that us "mooching liberals" are paying for)
Well gee it may have something to do with it bordering DC?

You are simply spewing ad hominems. You need to either address his points or move on.

The fact remains as MoCo schools have been diversifying the test scores have dropped. Are you going to argue the quality of MoCo schools simply dropped for no reason?

Being Black doesn't prevent one from being called racist or worse. Trust me.
