2. america is not totally capitalist in any way, we have a strong socialist element in everything we do, so to decry socialist principles is to decry america's own, so far successful, economic system.
3. i forget which one, but somebody was sighting the old gun laws and stuff, the guy who also trumpets his intelligence (i think). man, i don't have time to research that shit, but you said you were a history minor, so then obviously you know that the south used to be solidly democratic and the parties have had different platforms several times over the years, so sighting shit from anything less than fifty years ago is just disinformation. the democrats of yesteryear aren't even distant cousins of the demos today. you should start looking at stuff like that if you want to have a career in the legal field. you'll get nailed and strung for spitting inaccuracies out there.
Thanks for taking the time to make those points. Since these ^^ were in reference to me, let me clear it up for you.
2. We have only been socialist since the 16th Ammendment was ( evdence points to illegally) ratified. FDR further pushed us over to the dark side.Yes,I do decry all socialist principles AND policies. I would further say many people decry socialist principles, yet support socialist policies because they are pragmatists.
If you say I oppose America, Well I DO support the Constitution, so I must oppose America in its current form, since EVERY single elected official (except for Maybe Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo, Kyle from AZ, and a couple others)opposes the US Constitution.
3. These "old" gun laws are from 1968. Also, I never said Democrats did that ( at least I dont think I did). I am not a Republican, but I do often stick up for Republicans when I see people giving Democrats a "free pass" and blaming Republicans. I am aware of the history of shifting political allegiances,etc. While you made good points, its not really relevant. I know what you mean about the legal field, but I didn't say anything innacurate. or anything I said was merely commentary, just like your boy Al Franken. He's not presenting evidence in court, so he has some leeway.
OK, now I think I know what you were talking about. I pointed out that many Democratic policies hurt black people and I tied that in with gun control being meant for black people (which is true). Well, it is true that black people are hurt by many Democratic policies and actually overwhelmingly support Republican policies such as School Vouchers (i support) and "faith-based" initiatives (I oppose). But the NAACP is "owned" by Democrats in the same way labor unions are.
Its no question that Democrats have helped create a modern day slave class. Are republicans better?Not , really; but they dont profess to be. At least Republicans are honest for the most part. They dont go around telling blacks or the poor that they are going to help them, because they know that is not the government's job.
This reminds me of a minidebate between Linda Chavez and a DNC honcho. He kept saying that Bill Clinton created 22 million jobs and George Bush didnt create any. She didnt dispute that, She stated the obvious " The government isn't supposed to create jobs." Anyone who doesn't know that, well.............
We need people in government like true American Janice Rogers Brown, who Dem, Teddy Kennedy and others blocked. Why? Why?
BECAUSE she is a BLACK LIBERTARIAN. And in the US, blacks and females are only allowed to be socialists. This is reality.
