Excellent post. 

Lucy wants to complain...I think it was Lucy, it makes little difference...about illegals being discriminated against by conservatives.  The key word is that they are illegals, right?  She wants to complain about "people of color", I assume she largely means blacks, not having the same opportunities as other people?  Like who?  The vast majority of us went to public school.  We read the same books, we received the same homework, we either did the homework or we didn't, and we became who we became.  This is a conservative's problem?  The problem, as most thinking people understand it to be, is that everyone is born with different abilities (thus the fiction that all people are greated equal--they are ONLY equal under the law, not genetics) as so people are going to rise to different levels.  What was the line from "Caddy Shack"?  "Well, the world needs ditch diggers too."  Overwhelmingly, we are all afforded the same opportunities in this country. 

Who gives a fuck about the working poor?  If our country cared about the working poor, we wouldn't have taxed corporate America into the arms of Mexico, India, China, Indonesia and a host of other countries.  It used to be that a kid could drop out of college, work in the local foundary and actually buy a house.  How many of you have seen a foundary lately?  No...really...how many?  The last "foundary" I lived by was actually an aluminum smelting plant in Kearney, NJ and like every other form of industry...it relocated.  It relocated due to taxes, unions, property taxes, regulations (excessive or not, improper or not, whatever).  Yes...there is working poor in this country like never before.  Does anyone want to pinpoint when it became such an epidemic?  Anyone care to quote Ross Perot?

So fuck the working poor.  Fuck them, fuck them, fuck them.  This country created them in the last 20 years and all of us are losing ground; doctors, now lawyers, soon teachers and even cops.  Enjoy the ride folks.  The darkest part of the storm is still ahead.

I don't know. I think there's good and bad in both conservatives and liberals. I was bothered more by conservatives back when Reagan was president. They were much more insufferable back then, but now, not so much.

It`s the shared political views and behavior of cons that`s so offensive.If you don`t care to be associated,that`s your right.It`s our right to call a duck a duck.

If the republican POV was so popular,why do they have to cheat,lie,and commit election fraud?

Frankly,I`m glad they aren`t smelting aluminum in Kearney anymore.

Sedition. FBI should arrest the man today and lay charges. Anything less is simply ignoring the uptick in calls for violence from the right.

Treason, High Crimes and Misdemeanors. The FBI should arrest the POTUS asap and charge him with same. Anything less is simply ignoring the U.S. Constitution.

Remember you tried that with President Clinton. Didn't really work out for you did it.

It's very strange that there wasn't any of this sort of talk while the chimp was invading a sovereign nation under false pretences and committing war crimes, isn't it?

He was just taking after dear old dad. Although, I hear dubya couldn't play baseball for shit

Just because it didn't work out how we wanted it to with Clinton doesn't mean he wasn't just as guilty of exactly the same thing, obstructing justice by lying about and covering up what he did, as the Democratic majority Congress would have Impeached Nixon out of office for had he not resigned.

I really think we see a small percentage of behavior of "republicans" based solely on the idiots in office and a few crazies online but to paint every single one of them with the same brush is no different than doing it for any other reason to people.

Wait till next week. We'll make you wish it was the 80s again.

I personally think the whole conservative/liberal thing feeds into exactly what they want..the bickering which gets nothing done..which in turn means they have someone to point a finger to when they can't get anything done and "we" buy into it. Meanwhile they live it up and get rich from their positions all the while, "watching the walls crumble around them".

It's hard enough getting something through to begin with when you have opposite views on what needs to be changed and how we should go about doing it..A constant tug-o-war goes on...sometimes I think..A dictator styled elected official might be a better way to go but then I remind myself what they do with the limited amount of power they have now..I hold back the throw-up and wash it from my mind quickly.

I'm somewhere in the middle when it comes to political views. Liberal on some and conservative on others and have never understood why someone would be a staunch one way or another. It reminds me of the high school club type mentalities that I've observed growing up.

All in all I've read what he's said from that story and I just don't get threat or anything like that out of it..As always I think reporters will make things out to be greater than what they are for the sensationalism of it all.
