I'm just going to quote Bill Maher: ""I would never say and I have never said, because it's not true that Republicans, all republicans are racists. That would be silly and wrong. But now days, if you are racist, you're probably a Republican. And that is quite different."

The fact that conservatives like you want to sweep racism on the rug and pretend like its no longer an big part of American society astounds me and is frankly very frightening.

Racism is still around, is is a big part of what is going on in our society here today. I just posted above, a video of a sheriff who is running for the governorship of Arizona and who is also the most popular Republican in the state with a 70% approval rating, who stops, talks to Neo-Nazi's and poses for pictures with them. Yet this does not shock you?!

I also posted an article regarding how a Republican politician who supported this new law follows two racist groups on his twitter page. This does not shock you?!

I also posted an article which talked about the backgrounds of more of these Republican politicians who pushed this thing through...

I guess none of you bothered to read any of them.

I will pull the race card whenever I see fit! Free speech right? Whats your problem with me doing that? If the guy is a racist, I'm gonna call him a racist.

No, that was the public video taken by a News Crew. The second video is after the rally and is an amateur video. IN PUBLIC THEY LIED, AFTERWARDS ARPAIO WENT AND TALKED TO THEM AND POSED FOR PICTURES WITH THEM.

Yes, just sweep racism under the rug...So you think that after only 40 years since the Civil War movement everything is ok now? Delusional...

Once again... I dont care who YOU know. Who YOU know means nothing to mean. Furthermore, if the employment of illegal immigrants is the problem (which it is, if there were no jobs, illegals wouldnt be coming here) THEN GO AFTER THE BUSINESSES, but Republicans dont want to do that...why?

Race baiting? Race baiting who? I can't have my opinion? Looks like you guys arent constitutionalists at all? IF YOU DONT LIKE WHAT I'M SAYING YOU DONT HAVE TO READ IT, AND I'M NOT BREAKING ANY FORUM RULES, SO EITHER ABUSE YOUR MODERATOR POWER TO SHUT ME UP, OR ACCEPT THE FACT THAT I HAVE SOMETHING CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF OPINION.

What do I care? Why are you so insecure and feel like you have to show me that you're not racist? Who ever called you a racist in the first place? I COULDNT CARE LESS WHAT YOU HAVE DONE OR WHO YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT IN QUESTION HERE SO QUIT IT, I DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

I completely agree. Having a discussion with people who dont use facts or sources and refuse to read anything or acknowledge when they are wrong is truly pointless.

HEY EAGLECAP YOU RESEARCH THAT STUFF ABOUT TAXES UNDER OBAMA YET? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT IT?LOL

There are so many flaws in this post, I'll go through them one by one:

Not at all.

Originally posted by Cryptic


 For example:
-One party representing a socio economic political world view wins big due to a rival's incompetence and drift to the extremes


Your first flaw is assuming that the Democrats have a different socio economic political world, as in extremely different. This is not true. Its conservative propaganda, they've called the Democrats communist so much that they actually believe they are...

Originally posted by Cryptic


-They become "dizzy with success"


Nobody is dizzy with success, as a matter of fact, Obama has fallen behind in many of the things he promised to do because the Republican Party is blocking everything it can and slowing down the process.

This is a good thing, as it makes the Republicans look bad and makes the Democrats look good and actually prevents them from getting "dizzy with success" by making them work harder.

Originally posted by Cryptic


-They cant conceive that they will make mistakes or face a competent opponent


There is no competent opponent, and who says they cant conceive that they will make mistakes? You?

Originally posted by Cryptic


-Some members even start to believe ther own propaganda about their inherent supereority


What propaganda about inherent superiority are you talking about? This is flawed in that you are assuming that "superiority" has to do with wanting to help other human beings.

My suggestion is that you stop making assumptions and actually try to base your argument on solid facts.
 
Originally posted by Cryptic

Yes, I have read your posted statistics.  I can accept the temporary reality of the statistics while also realizing that future social trends are very hard to predict, even for high IQ atheists.
 


Again, the flaw in your logic is that you are assuming these statistics just came out of the blue. The statistics today are the way they are because they've been heading that way for 20 years now.

Asians and Hispanics have been flocking to the Democratic Party in large numbers since the 80's, the statistics show this. As for other minority groups, they've consistently voted Democrat.

Do not make the mistaken assumption that these statistics are just a one time thing, these statistics are in fact a result of a trend towards greater support for the Democrat Party and a loss of voter base from the Republican Party. This trend is continuing, especially amongst minority groups.

Look at the demographics of the Tea Party movement for example, almost completely white and Republican. Why do you think that is? Its because minorities are finding it harder and harder to identify themselves with the Republican Party's platform.

TGS wrote a while ago;

"The 80's was a different era. Many Hispanics and Asians voted Republican because of their anti-communist sentiments. This is no longer the case as communism has collapsed for the most part almost everywhere. In today's world, reality, the Democratic Party represents the majority of Americans and their numbers continue to grow while the Republican Party is refusing to adapt to reality."

And, unfortunately TGS, it seems the majority of those deep within the Obama administration are at heart "communists!"

So maybe America of the 1980's might well become motivated again?

I think the old TV episode was entitled "The Enemy Within?" (Star Trek)

Regards,

A racist is running for the Governorship of Arizona Confused (video of him posing and talking with neo-Nazi's and confederate flag waving racists). The crazy thing that he is the most popular Republican in the state according to polling.

http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/next-arizona-how-about-governor-joe

Also, it turns out another Arizona Republican leader has interests with racist groups, he follows several of them on twitter:

http://gawker.com/5529952/arizona-republican-leader-follows-white-supremacist

I also posted another article above talking about the backgrounds of the very Republicans who voted for such a bill.

Republicans say a lot of things, mostly lies. Its been 20 years and the statistics have been consistently in the Democrats favor and since the 80's the Democrats keep gaining more and more voters while the Republicans are actually losing votes.

And how is the Democratic Party taking blacks for granted?

Originally posted by Cryptic


  Then they can add to it by assuming that Hispanics are not swing voters.
 


Hispanics are now the single largest minority ethnic group in the country, and they are supporters of the Democratic Party. The Republican Party has support amongst the Latino (Cuban) communities in Florida but thats about it. At the pace the Republican Party is going, I dont see it having any type of future as a major party in the United States in the next couple decades, and certainly by 2050.

-----------------------------------
Here are the statistics:

85% to 95% of Blacks vote Democrat (in the recent Presidential election this number was more than 95%)

Hispanics who vote Republican do so mostly for religious reasons, and socially Hispanics tend to be conservative. However, the majority of Hispanics tend to vote Democrat, up to 70% and more. All Hispanic groups aside from Cuban Americans have dependably voted Democrat (younger Cuban Americans are also shifting towards the Democratic party). And as the immigration debate is heating up, the Republican Party is losing even more Hispanic voters.

In 2006 the Democratic Party won 62% of the Asian American vote and Asian American support for the Democratic party continues to rise every year.

Just like blacks, Native Americans overwhelmingly vote Democrat, at around the same percentage as blacks.

70% of Jews vote for the Democratic Party.

By the way, the Democratic party is the largest party in this country and nearly 45% of Americans are registered Democrats.

The Republican Party is alienating a huge chunk of the population. Furthermore, the Republicans are also losing the youth vote. Younger Americans have consistently voted Democrat since 1992 and their support for the Democratic party rises every year. In fact, 66% of America's youth voted for Obama.

Believe me, the way things are going, the Republican Party will cease to exist as a political force in the coming decades. However, with that said, Most independents tend to vote Republican but their numbers are not enough to counter the growing minority population in this country, which will eventually surpass the White population. These minorities will overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

Not true at all. Polling still shows that the Republican Party's supporters are overwhelmingly White American, and polling shows that a large part of the Democratic Party's supporters are in fact, minorities. Blacks have always traditionally voted Democrat in huge numbers.

Please read the link I posted above in my earlier post to understand the politics behind the Arizona law and who voted for it and what their beliefs are.

Worse than the problems we have right now? Sorry to break it to you, but our harsh laws against drugs seem to have made things worse and the social consequences have been disastrous (rise of gangs, violence, lack of respect for authority and the police, etc...)

Yes, large quantities are still illegal, but small quantities are legal. In the United States, someone can go to prison for possessing a few grams of marijuana! How ridiculous is that? Harsher laws are not working and have not been working for decades. We need to rethink this "war on drugs".

And the same with this new Arizona bill, a law like the one passed will only hurt the cause of those trying to secure our borders, not help them. Go after the employers, and as for the drugs causing the violence, that is a different issue and is the result of our drug policy.
