Annoyed really. Annoyed that after clearly stating something multiple times you keep misunderstanding it and talking about... basically nothing really.

I gave evidence and stated that more poor and uneducated people vote Democrat. Do you disagree with this fact?

I stated that the Democratic Party is the one that creates social welfare programs. Do you disagree with this fact?

Put those two together and you see that a large percentage of the Democrat voting base is voting due to being dependent on social welfare programs. This is a big part of the Democratic Party's voter base. Can you FINALLY begin to see this?

.......and 58% of voters with post graduate degrees vote democratic and 49% of all college graduates as well... Just because minorities, the poor and those without college degrees vote democratic does not mean that they do so because they are dependent on social programs...That is conjecture...You just will not admit that the platform of the Republican party is against almost everything that liberals believe in... Yes, it is definitely the Democrat party that is responsible for the safety net....I am certainly not misunderstanding you as you consistently spout conservative talking points without any proof whatsoever..
 
Around 60% of democratic voters are on welfare of some kind.

Well...it was kinda rhetorical to you. Those places exist, they're called Curves and Hooters, respectively. I'm just waiting to see if someone is against these things.

No i dont. I want equal protection and for private businesses to be able to run the way the owner pleases. You keep deflecting from my question because you know the irrationality of that position.

Again, what makes you entitled to another persons business?

Lol. You have a good night as well. Perhaps you will take a shot at the question in the morning.

That's not good news at all for the Democrat party.

LBJ declared war on poverty 50 years ago and who's winning ?

If Walter Cronkite were still alive today he would say there's no light at the end of the tunnel.

That $15 trillion dollars have been pissed down a hole and all you have are tens of millions of Americans who have a monkey on their backs demanding another fix. (Free Stuff)
 
Lol at the poll results.

Yep, this is definitely a right wing leaning forum.

I think that is right on. It should not be anyone else's concern, what others do, unless it physically harms them.

I think going through entire states' worth of towns without being able to get a hotel room or a hot meal at a restaurant physically harms people, which is what the Civil Rights Act ended.

I think the right-wingers are just more vocal and assured of their own correctness. I didn't vote in the poll, and several other lefties didn't either, because there was no "none of the above" option. At least a few right-wingers (including the OP, I reckon) enthusiastically clicked "the left" like lab hamsters going for a food pellet.

First off, today, we wouldnt have that problem. Second, refusing to serve someone isnt harming them. Perhaps you can explain what makes you entitled to another persons business.

By not serving someone, they might come to harm through your inaction - say if it's below freezing outside, their car heater fails, and you don't allow them to take a room in your hotel for the night.

Them coming to harm isnt my fault in that situation. Nobodys safety or well being is my responsibility

I view it as a gray area - it's not really your responsibility, but they probably wouldn't have been harmed had you allowed them to purchase lodging.

Still not my fault. They may not have been harmed if they never left the house that day.

Uh, no ... not having suffered through that kind of racial discrimination doesn't mean one can't be against it.
 
Saying that the KKK, Neo-nazis, and far right groups are mostly racist. I would say the right..
But hey dont take my word for it talk to golden dawn in greece, and the far right throughout Europe....

Yes, but the Democrats fought against it for over a century.

They sure did. In the South. You can't be that historically ignorant to not know that Northern Democrats voted in favor of the CRA by an overwhelming margin.

Support for the CRA was not divided on party lines; it was divided on geographic lines.

The original House version:

Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)

Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)

The Senate version:

Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)

It is just that a rather large number of my friends are homosexual and have traveled the US extensively. They say the food and hotels are good. That is why I wondered about your statement.

Yeah, they don't run into that trouble NOW. Now, imagine them openly homosexual 50 years ago. Or black. You know, when the Civil Rights Act came about, which was what the discussion was about in the first place.

Actually a great, great uncle of mine lived with his boy friend in NYC in the 20s. They thought is was fine. They they had good jobs, got fed at good restaurants and invited to dinner parties. Of course, they did not run about looking like Xmas trees.
