Let's do the math - here's some simple equations: Immigrants are taking our jobs = I don't like those darned hispanics Immigrants are committing alot of crime = I don't like those darned hispanics Government shouldn't make laws preventing private businesses from serving certain people = I don't like those darned blacks and hispanics I'm against redistribution of wealth = I don't like those darned blacks and hispanics Obama is a socialist = I don't like those darned blacks and hispanics Obama isn't an American = I don't like those darned blacks I want my country back = I don't like those darned blacks and hispanics Homosexuals shouldn't have equal rights = God hates fags

The funny thing is people in this thread have called me so many things I am not. Well, then it's good to get to know you! Am I a right wing nut job HELL NO...Am I a Left Wing nut job HELL NO.. To I sway more to the right of the line yes I do. I value conservatism more. I'd like to think I'm not a left wing nut job but I'm definitely a liberal where most things are concerned, but not all. For instance, I have guns and want to keep them. I think there's a lot of waste in government programs and would like to see a balanced budget. I just don't want all the cuts to come out of social programs. I believe those who are capable should be earning their own way, but I do believe in giving a hand up to people who are trying. I'm not fond of Affirmative Action at this point in time. I believe in Capitalism but don't want to get screwed by big business. So, I'm a mix of left and center. I am a product of my environment. I have spent 18 months in Iraq so my views on that are they way they are because of that. Thank you for serving our country Chris. I totally support our troop but wish Bush hadn't sacraficed so many lives by choosing to fight there. I have nothing against gays in the military. If someone is willing to put there life on the line for me I don't care who they are sleeping with. I agree. I don't believe in abortion but thats not my decision and sometimes it is needed. I basically believe women should be the masters of their own bodies, but I think late term abortions should be avoided if possible. I am for gay marriage. Not my lifestyle but who am I to judge someone for what they do in there personal life. I believe every citizen should have the same rights. I am for a capitalist country. So am I, but I do think regulation is necessary because businesses don't have a conscience where money is concerned. I am against socialized government run health care. IMO I want the best medicine I can get and you don't get it that way. I don't want government run health care per se, but I think the insurance companies need to be regulated so people get treated fairly. I also think people who aren't provided insurance by their employer need access to an affordable option. I am Catholic, I was raised that way and do believe in God. Am I a practicing Catholic. Not really but don't feel that I need to go to Church to believe in it. Do I preach it ...HELL NO. My family is Jewish but we never practiced it. I believe in a creative force in the universe but I don't know what it is and don't believe in praying to it. I'm cool with whatever an individual believes in so long as they don't shove it down my throat and make laws or base public eduction on a religious text. I have friends and relatives of all walks of life and don't judge someone by there race, religion or anything else for that matter. Right on! I may not agree with a lot of what is said in these threads by some but I would be the first one to shake your hand and buy you a drink. Cheers Chris!

Are the 9/11 deniers people who are denying that it happened under Bush? I'm not sure what they claim. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 9/11 Truth movement is made of people who question the mainstream account of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Some state there is evidence that individuals within the US government may have been either responsible for or knowingly complicit in the September 11 attacks.

Regarding the Tea Bag video: In other posts I've said I'm scared of conservative extremists. These are the great thinkers that are threatening to overthrow my country! Be very scared people -- they're stockpiling weapons as we speak. I think I hear banjos in the background.

Who would be left? ------------------------------------------ Good one Leigha. LMAO!! :laugh:

You liberals love to put yourself up on a higher pedestal than your opponents intelligently. It's too bad that in the eyes of God, you are fools. He says that 'the wisdom of the wise man is foolishness in His eyes'. Those who think they are so smart, reallly don't get it at all. IMO, Liberals have skewed morals. ---------------------------------------------------------- Ack! I feel like we're in grade school: I'm rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say to me sticks to you! :laugh: Come on Patty you can do better than this!

Everyone should watch it as this is the face of the teaparty: The Rachel Maddow Show - Rachel Maddow's interview with Rand Paul 5/19 ------------------------------------------------------- What an incredible coward!! He states private businesses should not be subject to anti-segregation laws but refused to answer the question whether he would agree with restaurant owners refusing to serve blacks or gays. Just another fast talking conservative who refuses to acknowledge his racism. This guy is going down in flames on this. A study conducted by the University of Washington found that Tea Party Movement supporters were statistically more likely to be racially resentful than the population as a whole. In a February 19, 2010, column in the Wall Street Journal Karl Rove suggested that Tea Party movement disassociate itself from the militia movement, 'birthers', 9/11 deniers, cranks and conspiracy nuts. He should have added racists to this list.

Dems are elated - tea baggers will be easy to beat in the general election. The more extreme the Republican Party gets the less likely they are to gain any power.

Actually, I was talking about migrant farmworkers not meat packing plant or grocery store workers. I don't blame the farmowner for the kids working in the fields. The parents are forced to do this because who is going to watch the kids while they are in the fields? Migrant farmworkers suffer from neurological problems and genetic diseases because of the unsafe use of pesticides and lack of people to enforce regulation. Because their not provided housing they live in tents and in their cars where there are no cooking facilities or sanitation. So they suffer from poor nutrition and have high rates of diabetes and poor dental health. Again, why do they do this? To make a living, not to take a handout. The farm industry relies on this cheap labor. They don't care if the workers are illegal and they're not fooled by fake IDs. Farmers have told me they can't find anyone else to do the work. As a former executive director of a migrant and seasonal farmworker program I know this to be true. I'm not advocating people coming here illegally. I'm just saying Americans and American businesses have benefited and profited by hiring illegals. The US has a formal "guestworker program" that allows agricultural workers from other countries to come here to work because farm corporations have lobbied to import workers to fill the need. Frankly, I don't know what the answer is.

Good thing for our grocery bills that farmers got all that cheap labor. Lucky they had fear of the INS to hold over farmworkers' heads so they couldn't complain about being sprayed with dangerous pesticides, children working in the fields around chemicals and dangerous equipment, unsanitary conditions, and poor nutrition. American's have never taken advantage of these people. There must be thousands of white Americans lining up for these jobs.

Peaches, the documentary made me cry. Michael Moore is one of those people who right wingers hate because he tells the truth. Close-minded describes people who are unwilling to understand facts that dispute the things the propaganda they hear from Rush Limbaugh and others of his ilk. They don't like facts and figures, just sabre rattling.

Peaches we welcome your comments. You're a good neighbor!

"Democrats were quick to point out that President Bush's budget creates a 1 trillion dollar deficit. The White House quickly responded with 'Hey, look over there, it's Saddam Hussein.'" —Craig Kilborn "President Bush says he has just one question for the American voters, 'Is the rich person you're working for better off now than they were four years ago?'" —Jay Leno "Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he is going to ask President Bush for help with the budget. What better way to deal with a $38 billion deficit than get advice from a guy that created a $450 billion deficit." —Jay Leno "President Bush hosted something called the President's Economic Forum down in Waco, Texas today. He invited members of small business to the summit. He was going to invite big business, but they're all in jail." —Jay Leno "There's now speculation in Washington that President Bush is now planning to increase the economic sanctions on Iraq. And let me tell you if they are half as tough as the economic sanctions Bush has imposed on this country, they are screwed." —Jay Leno

They told him they will take the same responsibility for the dog that he is taking for the economy. That way, if the dog leaves a mess in the White House, it'll be cleaned up by future generations." --Jay Leno
