You are right I mis-spoke but it is in the amendments. The example I was trying to establish that no one will recognize is that exact attitude of because some who is eligible to vote did so and because you are different in your agenda its OK that you are called names and chastize. One day I hope y'all wake up and realize the bad taste most of america has in there mouth for Republicans isn't going to go away because of attitudes and shenanigans like that. This is my last post on this topic as I was told growing up a hard head makes a soft az. :2cents:
I will probably get this thread shut down.
A long rant about discrimination and how it got to be this bad - my own opinion - a non US of A resident.
As an outsider - and Canadian - this is what the rest of the world sees - at least through my eyes as a non-resident who has traveled through Europe and Asia and seen how the US administration is talked about from a non-elite view. I do not believe the people of the US have a bad taste in their mouth for Republicans (even though you do Sky) - or Democrats either for that matter. So I take you to task on that comment Sky
I do wonder how anyone could vote for the obama administration with the simple health care issue as a prime example of true federal screw up and "hurt to the public" - yet he gets a free ride - why? Because he is black and whites are called racist for complaining about a black president. There it is said. And then throw Reverend Jesse Jackson in to the mix along with that Al Sharpton and you have it even worse. The you have the black panthers intimidating folks at polling stations and the beat goes on. (What school of divinity DID the fine reverend ever attend?) What they do have is a bad taste in their mouths for liars and cheats and racial dividers and double standards.
The United States is in huge trouble today simply because of the media and uneducated population. Yeah, the uneducated population - which has HUGE percentages that have no clue about what happens outside their own 10 mile living zone. Sky your comment made me say the above and DMF is the same from his area - you folks are so divided you are in trouble. Respect for the US of A and the US president on an international scale is at an all time low. Racial and discrimination within the US of A is at an all time high.
I place this squarely on the back of the residing ruler in the White House - Barry Obama - a man who spends millions in legal fees every year to prevent anyone from seeing any of his past records that matter - a man who goes out of his way to create this division - starting right from the day he won the Nobel Peace Prize for "FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS". LOL! Even the world governments and media got into it - he was lauded and awarded for doing NOTHING - but the people of the US clapped their hands and refuse to see anything - because if they do they are considered racist.
Have you ever read the fairy tale the
Emperor Has No Clothes? If not you all should. And the media and the population fawn over him because of his skin colour and not his lack of substance and give him a free ride in fear of being called racist. He has been an abject failure and the US is in trouble.
But he is in power because more than 45% of the US is in government welfare of some type - and that is powerful - if you were a recipient would you vote to cut off that money? H.e.l.l. no and never forget "Yes we can!" I do not care about the opposition and how they had no one worth running the country - and anything else under the sun - the fact is Barry Obama is the president and he is ruining your country. A Democrat. And he is successfully doing it by dividing the country and I fear for you all. Because no one has the gonads to call him on it.
Barry Obama has no clothes!
Racist - a cheap word that no longer means anything simply because now there are racists who are NOT white! Discrimination in the US of A very likely will continue to grow. It will grow along three lines in my opinion - Black, White and Brown. It will also be gun owner vs non gun owner - witness New York. It will also be religious - witness Detroit the largest muslim community in the US vs the Bible Belt. It will also be taxes for the rich who actually provide employment for others against taxes for those who do not strive to provide for their own. It will ALL be encouraged by the White House Administration and here is one small example.
The knock out game. Many black on white attacks - some charges of assault. A recent white on black attack. The charge? Federal Department of Justice lays HATE crime charges. Why? Because it helps stir the pot. Do not think for an instant that did not come from the very top. Barry and his boys were WAITING for this to happen so they could lay a hate crime charge - it further widens the voids.
From my limited readings of this thread, it seems Sky does not see it and JO does. Jo I do not always agree with you but I always read your threads. In my opinion it took big gonads to start this thread and I have a great deal of respect for that. It has all been reversed and it means the US of A has been knocked back more than 50 years.
And those little signs that started this thread come all the way from the top!
Do not ever forget that.
I wonder if the US of A will actually ever recover in my lifetime?
The above are the views of a person who does not live in the US of A and indeed has many family and friends in the US of A. I wonder why I see it this way and yet a minimum of 50% of US would simply look at me and tell me I am the problem!
I am out of this thread and probably should not even have stepped into it.
Best to all
