That could all very well be true Jay, but there are other issues that divide Democrats and Republicans. Abortion, Homosexuality, School Vouchers, Religion or the lack of, all these things might seem mundane to you, but they hold great value in my interests and beliefs, as do American patriotism and American pride. Not to mention the safety net Republicans demonstrate/promise in protecting them, along with our country. That's where experience weighs in quite heavily.

Point- Republicans.

What's your point statueman? Are you suggesting I'm racist because I find NO just cause in giving people a handout for wrongs never bestowed upon them? Or am I racist for feeling insulted when someone portrays this great JUST country that so many courageous people have fought and died for, as anything but?

Mred, I didn't vote.

“My point is that you cannot say racist things and later expect people to consider you anything but a racist.”

This is exactly why I'm upset and think that this country is suffering from racism alright, REVERSE RACISM.

How is my belief that no one is justified in receiving monetary compensation or even an oral/written apology for injustices that where NEVER DIRECTLY bestowed upon them, from citizens who NEVER COMMITTED the injustice, racist?

That does in NO way make me a racist! Nor is it racist to say it. How do you not see that?

“When I first met you here on the blogs we got along just fine. You took thought in you're replies and blogs and seems to put some quality over quantity in your writes. Something happened along the way and your writes have gotten more and more presumptious and mean spirited.”

No statueman, that wasn’t it, you where delighted in the fact that I was playing the race card against people whom I perceived as racist because of the way they expressed themselves against illegal immigration. A subject I have time after time admitted I don’t fully understand and am in the process of understanding, meaning, I could’ve unjustly accused those people. I am not an extremist, I am fair and balanced, and if I wrongfully accused someone, it is not “presumptuous” of me to change my tone.

yea you can blame BUSH for that one,not the liberal democrats

In the aftermath of the mass movement for civil rights, which mobilized millions of black workers and youth with the support of substantial layers of the working class and middle class nationally, it was less and less possible to gain political office through open appeals to segregationism. Instead, the Republican Party evolved a sort of political code, in which opposition to welfare programs and advocacy of “states’ rights” took the place of overt defense of white supremacy.

The political meaning of this language was clear to all involved. One incident demonstrates the method: Ronald Reagan’s decision to launch his 1980 general election campaign with an appearance at the Neshoba County Fair in Philadelphia, Mississippi, the site of the most notorious crime of the civil rights era, the murder of three young civil rights workers in 1964. When Reagan delivered a speech in which he declared, “I believe in states’ rights,” he was giving his tacit support to the maintenance of the social and economic oppression of the black population, even while the outward forms of legalized racism had been eliminated.

From then on, the Republican Party cemented its domination of the South, and especially of the states of the Deep South, which were the poorest and most backward in terms of social conditions, and where segregation and racial terror were practiced in the harshest form. By 1994, when the Republican Party won control of the House of Representatives and the Senate for the first time in 40 years, it controlled the bulk of the congressional delegation from the southern states,

Did anyone watch the footage of New Orleans being evacuated last week? Was it just me, or where most of the people in line waiting for the bus, Black?

Check out the prison stats.

The girl who cussed my daughter out, was she White?

The girl who jumped my daughter, was she White?

When a judge asked all White people to step out of his court room because he needed to speak to Black people ONLY, why did he do that?

Like I said Jay, I would like to know where you live cause it sounds fab.

IT IS NOT RACIST TO DISLIKE SOMEONE OR TO POINT OUT THE OBVIOUS ABOUT A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE CAUSING PROBLEMS.
I don't care what your race is, and I wont ignore facts either. Seeking justice is not racist. Pointing out the obvious about a group of people who need to get it together and obey the law, instead of abusing the law, is not racist. Wanting people to take care of themselves and stop taking from me and mine, is not racist. Wanting the best man to lead this country, is not racist. It's intelligent.

I’m sorry Jay, but Obama’s policies will NOT help me or my family one iota. If anything he will harm us, he will put my family in danger with his desire to negotiate with terrorists who can not be reasoned with. What if they look at Obama as weak? What if they think they could attack our country knowing Obama will do nothing about it? Why didn’t a Democrat, Bill Clinton, (whom I like and respect as a person) assassinate Osama when he had the chance? Why did we wait until 9/11 to go after these lunatics?
We can not negotiate with Muslim extremists, that has been made painfully clear. Why is Osama still walking around? I beg my husband to shoot that bastard if given the opportunity. We need to go into Afghanistan, we need to find Osama and hang him, while maintaining a presence in Iraq for two reasons: American show of force in the region to protect our interests as well as our country from further attacks, and help the Middle Eastern people. We’re not only protecting our interests and ourselves Jay, we are protecting an entire region from Muslim extremists who would reap havoc on their own innocent people if given the chance. We are a noble country above all else, why can’t you see that?

I don’t care if homosexuals do anything together. I want everyone to have the same and equal rights. But why do they insist on marriage? Why don’t they understand that by asking me to accept them as “married” and by asking me to accept homosexuality or abortion, and not look at it as what it is, a sin, they are asking me to turn against my God? That is very wrong and very selfish of t

Poverty does destroy society’s, as does corruption and abuse. What happened in France, could happen here as well. Politicians shouldn’t think too highly of themselves, nor should they ignore their constituents. This is why I like McCain and Palin. McCain listened to Americans when they stood against him regarding illegal immigration. He said “I heard the American people, and we must FIRST protect our borders, before trying to pass immigration reform”. I like that about him, at least he listened, as opposed to Obama and Hillary who called us “ugly and racist”.

I knew you would try to label Christians extremists and compare us to Muslims eventually. I was waiting for it. But I can not believe you actually did it. I thought you where smarter than that Jay.
Christians are NOTHING like Muslims, Arabs, or the least bit extremist. Anything but. Christians are tolerant, kind, patient.
You use Sarah Palin’s belief that creationism should be taught in public schools along side evolution as if it was a bad thing. What I find hysterical is that you don’t realize how Democratically American she is. She said it should be taught ALONG with science/evolution, not exclusively. It is you and those like you that are more like extremists by FORBIDDING creationism be taught in the first place. What harm could come of it?
You ask me, “How do homosexuals marrying affect you in any way?” Well Jay, how does teaching different perspectives to evolution or creationism affect you in any way?

ugh. Look Mred, if you can't read between the lines and keep up with the discussion, please do yourself a favor and don't try to understand it.

"her clock cleand"???

I didn't realize we where having a discussion on ghettoness 101. Girl please. If I've been patient with you it's because of God's strength in me, but don't confuse my good graces with weakness or make the mistake of abusing them. As tired as I get of having to explain myself to those of you who need it, I'll amuse you one more time.
I made those comments in retrospect to statueman's erroneous accusation that I might be racist. Now although I realize just about anyone can read my comments, with all due respect, they where not meant for you. They where meant for statueman in the hopes that he would engage them with the assumption he understood them in the first place. Now please do go play elsewhere. Yes? Thank you sweetie.
