since i work for myself in other people's homes, i'd probably be forced to shoot you before you got your pants down. after all, i'm sure i could justify it to myself as self-defense. what with you breaking into the house and advancing on me in a menacing manner, i'd most certainly be in fear for my life. i might do a little time for my unregistered firearm, but that's about it. i've had a long time to get pretty damn good at hiding the bodies.
There would never be any proof of someone shouting 'nigger' because it was damn loud there. But what we have here is someone spitting on a black Congressman, which no one disputes is even more heinous. So do I believe that these folks were not yelling 'nigger'? Not at all. It would be more unlikely that it didn't happen.
according to the footage you've displayed, the spitting incident may very well have been more unintentional than an act of hatred. so what is this "heinous" crime that has been committed? is it that the opposition dared to protest against a "black congressman"? if that is all it takes to commit a hate crime, we are well on our way to that totalitarian state that the progressives have so long dreamed of.
you really should hang your brain out to dry after a washing like that. this knee jerk condemnation of tea party activists as racists shows a prejudice born of drinking the partisan kool-aid of that party of victimhood. next i suppose you'll be claiming that rangel was framed by the kkk.
Racism!!! Now that the left have their black president that's all that needs to be charged and immediately the debate is over. If I look at a black person wrong I can be called a racist (this actually happened to me after a black woman rudely bumped into my wife and didn't apologize). These libs need to quit hiding behind the charge of racism all the time. Racism is someone showing up in KKK garb. Racism is someone calling a black person 'nigger'. Racism is hanging an effigy of a black person, or burning a cross in a black family's yard. I've seen nothing here which proves that this black congressman was the victim of a racist act.
How can "preference" be measured in "small", or "large"? Is there a specific formula we serfs should follow, or is it just a subjective thing?
but you see, we aren't looking for victims here. that is the tactic of those who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. those folks are only demanding that their representatives act in a manner that honors the oaths they all took to abide by the tenets that this nation was founded on. there is criminal behavior and then there is behavior that is merely rude. the more we attempt to outlaw mere rudeness, the less we seem to discriminate between the two.
perhaps you can explain why it is that those who had no hand in such abuses should be forced to pay for the deeds of others. throughout history every group has been downtrodden and enslaved at one time or another and those abuses continue today. the notion that one group should be made to pay for those sad traditions merely because of the color of their skin and that others should profit from it because of the sins possibly perpetrated against their ancestors is ludicrous. affirmative action has never done anything more than reinforce inequalities and cause resentment on every side. it has created a culture of entitlement in a group that should be willing to join in with the rest in the struggle to succeed and weakened the unity of the people as a whole.
Exactly! The whole idea of reparations or affirmative action is ridiculous. These types of things only serve to punish people who weren't alive when much of this racist crap happened. So let's marginalize another group in order to absolve ourselves of our sins of the past. How long should we have affirmative action? Many other groups have been persecuted and have pulled themselves up by the bootstraps without any kind of affirmative action. Somehow blacks are special I guess.How can "preference" be measured in "small", or "large"? Is there a specific formula we serfs should follow, or is it just a subjective thing?
I never made any of those claims. You did. Why is it acceptable to marginalize an entire populace just so you can attone for the sins of the past? I've had these same discussions with blacks and I never get a satisfactory answer. Affirmative action/reparations doesn't fix anything. It actually creates even more tension and inequality. Could it be because that's what the powers that be want?
I guess you're right.Heh.... doc...quit using logic on baja... it's ineffective.
It bums me out to see so many seemingly smart people using the failed logic of the left though.
