I believe that the "progressives" cry of racism every time there is an objection to the socialist agenda being rammed down our throats actually will damage race relations in this country. Which is probably something they want.
My stance - I have no objection to the color of his skin but I strongly object to the color of his politics.
Keep screaming RACIST you dummies. Soon the word will mean nothing!And that is the real threat. Its like the idiots that compare Obama to Hitler, or call liberals communists or conservatives facists. They leech meaning from words and deny us the ability to name our enemy. George Orwell made the implications of this clear. Rather than being able to bring a specific charge against someone, you are reduced to making an inarticulate noise that will be interpreted as it will by the various factions of a dumbed down society. In short, rational discourse dies and force rules the day. I keep screaming about decorum, rules of evidence, not exagerrating the threat and apologizing when I cross the line. There is a reason for that. I maybe many things but stupid isn't one of them. I know damn well what happens to a society when civic discourse breaks down and I do not wish to go there.

FQ13
Isn't Carter the president that signed over sociial security? I guess I'm one of your idiots FQ. What BHO is trying to do does remind me of what Hitler did 70 years ago. Ignoring what the people want and trying to take control of rights and our lives by any means possible. He's using our money for his propaganda while covering his past. I do appreciate your opinion and you show me a side of issues I don't or wouldn't realiize at times.I enjoy hearing about your Austin days and share your electic taste in music. I may not be the smartest guy here, but I do know when someone is trying poke it up my ass like BHO and the Dems are now. You might want to check your rear view.
No, Johnson stole the trust fund, Clinton gave it to illegal aliens. Al Gore had to cast the tie breaking vote on that one.
RACISM - the new intimidation technique by the Left to quash decent.IF Carter had any intelligence at all he would just be quiet. Right now he is THE worst President we have ever had. IF Carter shuts up and goes away he could be easily supplanted by the current resident of 1600 Penn Ave.
It appears that Jimmy believes a black President cannot be criticized by white people. Regardless of the fact that every President has been soundly criticized in all of past history. Jimmy should know this first hand.
I guess Jimmy is finally proving for all to see just how stupid he really is and how bad a President he was.
I live in a collage town. I try to have intellectual conversation with people to broaden my perspective. What pisses me off is in a heated debate a person will throw the race card down. Well I'm a Vietnamese American, I prefer American, I have my ethic roots. cool more character for me. But to claim that I am a racist against women rights because I don't support abortion. Seems like a fallible statement.
Therefore, I concluded:
People who hide behind argument that I am a racist, don't have the ability to refute my argument.

From Vinbea's post; "but where's George W. Bush and/or his daddy "
Sitting home Keeping their mouths shut because they are no longer Govt. employees, just like carter ought to do.
I am a human being and I did not vote for either one for president. And what does the word racist mean actually????? There was this one light skinned black gal at the store where I was working armed security at and she said oh,a honkey security rent a pig. I asked her if she was talking tomeand,she said yes. I said I am not a honkey,I am a Polish first generation AMERICAN and,A HUMAN BEING. She shut up paid for her smokes and made a fast out the door without saying another word and to this day,she hasnt ever been back since. rich642z
