Re: Still waiting....

This has to be one of the most ignorant things I have ever seen written.

You have the option to prove me wrong, unless you just want to spew insults.

Margaret Sanger was a progressive. I bet she's a real hero of your's.

No, you have the option to prove your claim. You made it, back it up.

I am not even sure who that is, nice try though.
 
Re: Still waiting....

did you read the link i posted?

Yes, I did, thanks.

It seems many of the quotes are relating more to the corruption of Christianity rather than Christianity itself. And of course, context is everything, and questioning God's existence is nothing new. Many have their doubts.
 
Is that in the Arizona Law?
I thought you read it and knew what was in it?

Looks like another person who hasn't read it.
Do all conservatives play that game? When confronted with facts, accuse the other of not knowing the facts? Are you insinuating that the link I gave you is not true?

I guess if it doesn't come from Faux News, it isn't true in your world?


Does it really matter what was discussed or does the actual law matter?
It matters when right-wingers are claiming that it is not discriminatory - it matters if you are Hispanic and live in Az, unless of course you don't care, which it appears most cons don't unless it is about them.

Did you not read it?
Yes, but it has taken a slew of lawyers to figure out what parts are subject to misinterpretation, and what parts are clear, so unless you are a lawyer, don't tell me that you read it and are completely positive that it doesn't open up the possibility for abuse, because if you do, you would be going against the suggestions of top notch lawyers, and AZ wouldn't have had to do a dance and change it.

So it doesn't stand to reason for someone to hold themselves in high esteem and suggest that others are ignorant because they saw things that you didn't, when people that are schooled on the subject of law were in agreement on having seen the same thing.

Waiting for you to explain why 70% of the people in Arizona are for the law. think that 70% of the people in Arizona are white? Still waiting for you to explain how this relates to the thread topic?

Re: Still waiting....

I guess all that love and respect we had, prior to Bush's presidency, is the reason for 9/11, the USS Cole, The First WTC bombing, The embassy bombings, the Khobar Towers bombing, the Lockerbie bombing. 'Cause folks loved us to death, I reckon?

Do us all a favor and stop trying to blame everything on Bush and puhleese, stop trying to justify terrorist attacks on our people.

The world might not have liked us, but they certainly respected us. Obama made us look weak to the world.

Quite right, Apdst. Much of the world still doesn't like your success but now they don't respect or fear you either. You appear weak and vulnerable. It is the worst of all possible situations.

You're exactly right.
 
Great picture, the crowds were great and how about recognition of all those "white" patriots including the following:

Albert Pujols of St. Louis Cardinals honored for charitable work at Washington rally - ESPN

The absolute silence from the left now is quite telling.

Fine, they put a Domincan on stage.

Scanning the pictures of the crowd - the ones you provided - I saw one black woman in all of the pictures.

It doesn't mean "racism" - it just means that it's a movement that largely attracts whites. Let's be honest here, Glenn Beck doesn't appeal to too many black people.

The Tea Party (and the Republican Party for that matter) isn't racist - however, rhetorically it's certainly not very appeling to non-Christians, blacks, gays and other minority.

When Sarah Palin speaks of "real America"; when Tea Partiers talk about "taking our country back" - it really creates an Us vs. Them mentality. The whole movement comes across, to me, as I have to agree with Glenn Beck to be a part of it. I don't agree with about 90% of what the man says. And I disagree 100% with the way he says it.
 
Re: Still waiting....

Because it is nothing but rhetoric and lies about your fellow Americans.

Exactly. Calling those to their left (no matter how slightly) communists is how the Beckies restore honor to America. :roll:

No Conservative--black or white--appeals to the Black community. It's because blacks in America have been sold a bad bill of goods by the Leftists for over a hundred years.

Is calling the people at this, "circle jerk", a bunch of, "beck-ateers", the way to talk about my fellow Americans?

Hello Pot. I'm Kettle.

Well then it's destined to fail, because multiculturalism is increasingly the order of the day, and those who embrace it will ultimately govern our democratic society.

Let's get off the racial bs and look at the breakdown of ethnicity in this country. As for the rally, there were African Americans on stage throughout the rally. Did you watch the rally? If not you truly aren't in any position to judge who was there based upon what you saw in the crowds.
 
Re: Still waiting....

Lol, we will never have any respect from the middle east until we stop sticking our nose in their buisness. That will never happen though because they have something we want though, Oil. The hatred we experience over there is justified to some extent. Granted that is no excuse to go around killing people, thanks by the way for filling my mouth with your incorrect assumptions. I never tried to justify any terrorist attack. What even made you think that?

No, BCR, you will never win respect from the Middle East until you convert to Islam.

And when Americans start believing that their insane hatred against you (and they hate all the democracies by the way) is justified, then the US is on a very slippery downward slope indeed. Quite a different country today than the one your fathers and grandfathers lived in.
 
Re: Still waiting....

Don't call me a good buddy.

Fine. Don’t call people commies or fascist just because you disagree with them politically.

My understanding is that these groups were at the Beck Rally. Apparently that was missed by the leftwing

The Black Conservative Coalition

Can-You-Hear-Us-Now!: The Black Conservative Coalition

It does seem that liberals want to keep people dependent and finally it is great seeing black organizations fighting back.
 
Re: Still waiting....

When you say progressives are all communists, fascists, or socialists you are lying or you are ill-informed. So, you're saying that Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Sergey Brin, and Oprah Winfrey (all known to varying degrees as progressive) aren't all also capitalists? Again, either you are ill-informed, or you're lying. So, please explain how it's not possible for most progessive Americans to also be capitalists?

And Sanger did some great things for women, but - like many of our American ancestors - held views that we now consider archaic. Let's also recall that a lot of American heroes have significant flaws when it comes to views of things like race, the mentally ill, sex. I mean, our Founding Fathers were largely slave-owners. We can acknowledge the great things they did, but still be against slavery, can't we? Or should we condemn them for their racial views and reject everything positive they did?
 
Re: Still waiting....

I said Progressives are Communists. Are you a Progressive?

I'm for public assistance programs and a nationalized health plan. I have a gun and kill things with it. I'd put violent criminals in 24-hour lockdown and feed them bread and water, and I don't think we use the death penalty often enough.

What lame broad brush title are you going to attempt to use on me? :roll:


Is calling the people at this, "circle jerk", a bunch of, "beck-ateers", the way to talk about my fellow Americans?

Hunh. Didn't you just call your fellow Americans (that happen to be Progressives), "Communists?"

:lamo


Oh please. Go ahead and search my posting history. You'll not find me using terms like "chimp" when referring to Bush (although his intelligence/wisdom is certainly debatable), or insisting that all conservatives are hard-right, neocon assholes (even though it often seems that way).

You're just butt-hurt because I think Glenn Beck and those who listen to/believe his self-promotional drivel are idiots, and because I condemn holding a Glenn Beck fan club rally on the anniversary of MLK's most memorable and important speech in order to jerk each other off in public, while insisting that doing so is somehow "patriotic" and "honorable."

WAaaahaaaa!!!! :boohoo:
 
Re: Still waiting....

"Beckies?" You seem to have a problem with Conservatives exercising their freedom of speech and label them as "beckies." What exactly is a "beckie" and how are they a threat to you?

Did you watch the rally today?

It's already an Us versus Them mentality, FilmFestGuy, because 90% of Black people supported BHO and the Democratic Party. Focusing on one America for all, and fiscal responsibility of course, is something every person can relate to, once the rhetoric subsides.

You obviously didn't read what I said at all, so just leave me alone unless you address what I wrote - which, if you'd read it - never once said that the rally was racist at all - and said exactly where I saw pictures of the rally - from a link provided BY YOU.

But why should I be surprised, you never address points made to you. You read one or two words and then post reactionary emotional sludge.

Did you even read the link that I provided FROM GLENN BECK'S WEBSITE that shows he only has a 2% black audience. I simply said he doesn't appeal to blacks and then provided you with factual proof that he doesn't appeal to blacks. I then posited why this might be - without once attacking the rally or the movement.

Either read what I write and address it, or ignore me. Because I'm really getting sick of your mischaracterizations of everything I write in every thread.
