The "Cubans"

[Plane]

  It is a single standard.

    >Do it my way.<

   This must be one of the most common philosophies on the planet.

[sirs]

Oh you can bet the farm on rationalizations that will be used to justify the hypocrisy, but folks like xo will dutifully support the double standard

Of course, no preacher should have to perform a wedding he does not wish to. Public service weddings are available at the courthouse.

The lawsuits of bakers and photographers are rare and are just some over enthusiastic types trying to set precedents. Baking cakes and taking pictures are not religious events. I would not force them to provide the service if it were up to me. But it isn't.

[Plane]

It is up to us all.

We elect representatives in hope that they will help us create a country that is good for us all.

Perhaps even organize the effort.

Distressing how often it does not work out like that.

[Plane]

It's a Cuban sandwich.




Today on Fox news I heard this phrase...

"The American People want their sovereignty back."

Ahhh, that was well said.

[Xavier_Onassis]

White people want what they thought was their sovereignty back. They do not want to be bothered to "press one for English", they are tired of listening to uppity Negroes and Mexicans demanding decent jobs and equal treatment.  They want to be able to call up an old buddy and arrange a good job for junior rather than junior having to apply and compete with everyone else.

[Plane]

White people want.................................

So for you it is racial.

The nickel that can be respent forever.

So there is no such thing as an overweening power grasping government that will disenfranchise us all?

And if there were , some of us would deserve it anyway, based on race.

I am simply addressing the issue.  A large percentage of the middle class realizes that their lifestyle is slipping away, and they blame the Blacks, the Hispanics and the poor.  That is the basic message of the Tea Party. It is the message of Roger Ailes and Fox "News". It was carefully crafted and presented on rightwing radio for decades.  It is bloody obvious to political observers all around the world.

Racism tool for robbing the middle class and getting them to blame those less fortunate than they.  It is what the Fucking Republican Party is all about and has been since Nixon.

What the frell are you talking about?  Only racists blame them.  MOST OF THE REST OF US MIDDLE CLASS, blame Government for perpetuating the above "feeling", punctuated by policies that soak the middle class in taxes, while "the rich" can afford those taxes.  THAT is the message of the TEA party..and NOT that its the fault of some race or economic class.  Blacks can't tax anyone.  Hispanics can't tax anyone.  The poor don't even get taxed, outside of sales items

Good gravy

[Xavier_Onassis]

The Blacks and Hispanics, we are told, get welfare from the government paid for out of our taxes.
The Hispanics are taking our jobs!

The Blacks, Hispanics and other poor must be cut off as undeserving leeches, as it will force them to get off their lax=zy asses and get to work.

The Illegals must all be deported.

We have been hearing this shit since Reagan invented his Cadillac Welfare Queen stories. Or rather since he read the script with these imaginary people in it.

The Tea Party rarely if ever, suggests that the rich are not paying their fair share. The general Tea Party line is that taxes must be LOWERED in order to increase revenue, as lowering taxes always results in more money for the government.

[sirs]

The POOR, as in ALL races, get welfare from Government, paid for out of our taxes.  Government not enforcing our rather clear immigration law, make that situation even worse.  GOVERNMENT POLICIES perpetuate this condition, deincentivizing many to not even try.  That again is the fault of GOVERNMENT, not Blacks or Hispanics

Capice'?

And news flash....THE RICH ARE ALREADY PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE

[Xavier_Onassis]

Really?  Matt Romney paid a measly 14%, and that was almost certainly the highest percentage he has ever paid. He did not go to the Caymans for the fine beaches.  There is a reason why he only presented one year's tax returns.

[sirs]

There's also a reason he's only paying 14%.....BECAUSE HE HAS NO INCOME TO BE TAXED.  This is so rediculously used by the left, implying that Romney only, and has always payed a mere 14%. 

That % is specifically on investments, not income, AND YOU KNOW THAT.  Romney, like Soros, and so many other uber-rich, who have made enough money that WAS TAXED AS INCOME, can now simply live off their investments.  That's to be applaued...NOT PUNISHED.  As long as someone has earned their money legally, doesn't make their status some how unseemingly or underhanded. 

Romney was taxed just like the rest of us for his income AND investments, until he reached a point where he no longer required to work in generating an income to continue to live off of

In other words, the rich are already paying their fair share, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean

[Xavier_Onassis]

Now you are just being stupid. Romney's income was on those tax forms as well.

Romney has received far more benefits from living in this country than the population of entire small towns.

[sirs]

Now who's playing stupid.  ROMNEY IS NOT WORKING.....HE'S NOT RECIEVING A PAYCHECK....ERGO NO TAXABLE INCOME, outside of his invesments, which are being taxed

Just because he's been a financial success doesn't make him some evil incarnate.  He worked, he payed his dues, he payed his share of income taxes when he was working, AND paying taxes on his invesments as well.  He simply managed to reach a point where he can live off his investments. 

There's a yacht load of folks who receive more benefits from living in this country, than the population of entire small towns.  I remember reading an article how Kenny Rogers bought a home from Lionel Richie, that included its own golf course on the property.  And Rogers simply bought it with a 1 time cash transfer

SO FRICKEN WHAT?  They're ALL PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE
