Is it racist to believe the follwing?
That, I although I like most of the educated Black people I know I still hold deep contempt for rap-listening-pants-hanging_off the azz-Ghetto N$ggers and the white trash that emulates them.
Does this make me a racist???
2 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoWhat's the difference between Liberals and Radical Muslims ?
They both hate Christians, the American way of life and our soldiers.
I know... Muslims don't support gay marriage. HA !
12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy do public schools fail?
Especially in the public schools- Because of liberal laws and ideology, teachers are not even allowed to discipline children for misbehavior or disrespect. Parents don't seem to discipline their children either and balk at those who would instill any punishment on their children.
I see nothing wrong with a good solid oak paddle taken to the rear-ends of children who desperately need it.
The generations coming up today are given awards for mediocrity, are not forced to work hard at their studies (very little homework) and teachers have been stripped of nearly all authority to manage the actions by students in the schools but would rather focus on sending students home for wearing clothing which has American flags or colors on a Mexican holiday.
There are simply too many liberals running public education which is why; "no matter how many billions of dollars the government throws into our failing schools, these schools will continue to fail for the foreseeable future".
Also, there are far too many parents in this country today who have strayed from the core values which once made our nation strong.

6 AnswersHome Schooling1 decade agoIf civil war broke out in our country, would you choose a side?
I am not advocating violence here.
However, if this hypothetical nightmare ever came true, I would choose to support the side which favored restoring America to its roots and true vision for which the founding fathers intended.
8 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoWhy do illegals think they deserve to cross our borders illegally? Why the double standard?
This is one issue that fuels American resentment.
When American citizens break the law they must pay the price, but illegal activists want us to give "law breaking foreigners" a free pass.
My wife who immigrated here legally is also resentful that "while she played by the rules and respected our laws, while paying all the government fees and participated in the background + screening processes (all of which is exhausting) is made a mockery of by people who demand immunity from our laws and benefits which they have not earned.
10 AnswersImmigration1 decade agoWhy demonizing the wealthy is stupid.?
Sure Obama says he will tax wealthy Americans nearly 4% to help pay the costs of health care and its easy to go along with if you are ill informed what being an American is all about.
I am personally not wealthy, I am self employed and am able to pay my bills (including my health care premiums). However, I own 1 car and live in a 2 bedroom condo (nothing extravagant) and so I make the choices that most responsible Americans make to survive by forgoing extra pleasures or purchases in order to make my monthly bills.
With that said; I still believe that taxing the wealthy is stupid as I would hope to one day achieve wealth for myself and could imagine myself becoming ill with the thought of handing over what has taken many years to gain to those who haven't accomplished squat.
I wonder how many jobs are created by government dependent parasites for whom this health care bill is written, because it's quite clear that this bill does nothing to lower the cost for most tax paying citizens. This bill will make it more expensive for not only the wealthy (who create jobs) but for small business owners (who create jobs too).
It's easy to hate the wealthy (and the libs know this) but in all actuality... this is not hate based upon misdeeds but rather from jealousy.
It is this jealousy being used by the left to create a government dependent society where the chances to become wealthy will continue to diminish. People who become dependent on the government will have limited motivations to succeed. (Why work for something if it can be taken away at the whim of a bureaucrat?)
In this country we are born equal, but that does not mean it is up to government to insure that we are all of equal wealth as we grow. Those who look for the government to solve their personal problems shall never accomplish anything for themselves.
14 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDoes yahoo news reporting lean left?
While I don't think yahoo is quite as radical as MSNBC , I would still put them in the category of the LAMESTREAM media possibly.
I see quite often if their is something negative to report such as something stupid said by a far right person or some one who shows up at a Tea Party rally then they are on top of it.
However when it comes to dirty politicians like Charlie Wrangle d NY, or some arrogant remark shoots out of Pelosi's trap ... Then there is very little coverage if any.
I'm considering not using yahoo or ATT products in the future if this does not change.
What say you ??
2 AnswersMedia & Journalism1 decade agoHow important is your freedom. Will you stand up for your rights?
I for one, (as a self employed citizen) will refuse to comply with Barrack's new law if it should pass.
I have reached my limit in accepting continued loss of freedoms while they are given away to folks who say they want equality when the truth is that they want much more than equal.
Why should hard working folks who pay for their own expenses be forced into government mandated charity so that people who contribute very little or when 20 million plus illegals are handed amnesty and have not earned citizenship can be granted free or nearly free health care ???
If this bill passes and the supreme court does not overturn this bill, I believe that civil war may be a possibility and I have chosen my side. Have you???
15 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIf HC mandates to citizens becomes law what would you do?
I for one being self employed, would refuse to obey this law or pay the taxes associated with any fines levied against me. I will not allow the federal government to violate my constitutional rights without a fight (even if this means being locked up in a "debtors prison").
The government is attempting to overstep their boundaries and people must have the courage to stand up regardless of the pain or threat there of.
5 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoIs the current health care bill just the first step towards socialized medicine? Do we need a 3rd party.?
I believe yes, as the public option had no chance of being signed into law and now the the left has opted to incrementally bring socialism to America's citizens.
I also believe the the CBO report does not account for the 10 billion annually in cost to employ an additional 10,000 IRS agents (who will tax and fine those found to be non-compliant) nor the 200 billion medicare fix that will come in a separate bill to insure that doctors who accept medicare will not go in the red.
Also, (even Chuck Schumer d Ill) acknowledged that this bill will not reduce health care costs to the bulk of American citizens.
Seems to me that the progressives will use and say in 5 to 10 years down the road (after America is addicted to this "social welfare entitlement program" and they have given amnesty to 20 million illegals) that health care is too expensive and we must now go into socialized medicine in order to contain costs.Do you see health care legislation ending with the current bill??? (I don't)
To me; this current bill is not about cost or really even health care; it's all about accumulating power and regulating more and more aspects of American citizens lives, its all about social and economic justice (AKA communism/socialism).
Please don't think that I believe in the Republicans very much though, as their spending habits have been almost as bad as the dems in the last 15 years or so. They too have committed economic atrocities against the citizens of this country by encouraging the Global economy and the export of American jobs by big business to our competition overseas.
This is why I'm in favor of a third party, because dems and republicans both seem to only care about maintaining power but go about it in quite different ways. We need new politicians who respect the constitution, not tax & spend our money for their own interests or in the interests of big business, someone who will enforce our immigration laws, and govern by the will of the people who elected them, respecting individual States rights etc...
Funny how the country before the progressives instituted "temporary income tax" to the constitution the government supported itself (including the military) through tariffs on imports. (Seems to me that do to the nature of the trade imbalance over the past 30 years; this may be in the people's best interest to investigate once more as I know of no one personally or of any average American whom has benefited from NAFTA. (do you???) I think gay marriage should be unrecognized legally but should be tolerated socially. Although I don't smoke pot I say legalize it and tax it as we must keep the drug cartels of Mexico from gaining any more financial power and not allow their violence to continue spilling over the border. I don't personally believe in gay marriage either, but I say let them do what they want (are any of you going to stop them from being gay? Also, let them serve in the military "God knows someone needs to" only I would throw them out for sexual harassment if they solicit Heterosexuals for sex just the same as if someone harasses another of opposite gender.
Lastly, equal rights means equal rights... I would do away with "affirmative action" but severely penalize anyone guilty of discrimination or hate crimes (we need common sense balance in our country not left or right).
So if anyone asks me if I am a Republican or Democrat I say "neither, I am a constitutionalist/social conservative libertarian. Does the abbreviation CSCL sound good to any of you as well ?

3 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhy is anyone who disapproves of Obama labeled as a racist by liberals?
I for one am sick of seeing left wingers on MSNBC and other liberal media label me as a racist because I don't believe in Obama's agenda of "fundamentally transforming America" and view him as a socialist/communist based upon the people he has always and continues to associate himself with.
I could care less what his ethnicity is (as do the majority of social conservatives through out the country).
Are there racists who oppose Obama??? I'm sure there are.
Were there racists who opposed Bush, Clinton, or Reagen?? I'm sure there were.
Are Al Sharpton , Reverend Wright and Pat Robertson racist ??? I think so !
However, for those of us who make our political judgments based upon substance and world view, it is undoubtedly just a smear campaign by the far left to accuse opponents of Obama to be racists.
