Democrats and the issue of Reparations

[Papageorgio]

I support a woman right to abortion, but I do not support your right to reach into my pocket to pay for it.

Do you understand?

Of course not because you believe you are entitled to something and if you can not have it you will use the Federal Government to get it!

Individuals like you support single payer system while ignoring the Federal Government failure with the V.A. and Medicare...

Individuals like you scream about equal rights but as you stated in the past you would oppress my rights by using your badge.

Individuals like you rant on and on about racism while ignoring the reality racism can never be eradicated because it is human nature to hate.

So as idealists Socialist like yourself call those like me the enemy of the State it make me wonder do you realize you have q lot in common with Trump?

You're nuts. Get some lead foil for you hat.

My ideology is very simple, The Golden Rule. That, for sure, is not yours or trumps.

Why don't you practice the Golden Rule on this board, you know practice what you preach type of thing.

My ideology is the Golden Rule; that doesn't mean I treat assholes and jerks with kid gloves, they get what they deserve.

Interesting take of the Golden Rule.

Not at all. I have empathy, but not enough for assholes like trump&co. A group which is sociopathic to the T.

That’s what I said an interesting take. Not quite like Jesus, but it’s not my business, people do what they need to do.

Why does the Black Community vote for the Democrats?

Answer:

They believe the empty promises and lies and never learn.

Bullshit, but thanks for a re-iteration of what I've posted over and over again; that being the Social Conservative Republican's believing their policy of opposing - but doing nothing about - abortion.

You follow the Golden Rule? HAH! How does ripping off the innocent follow that rule. clown.


How many trillions of dollars have been spent on the war on poverty?

Get a clue, dude. Reparations is an infantile desire by a bunch of assholes who want to steal "whitey's" money, and use it to enrich themselves. precious little would ever get down to the people who actually might be deserving. And, you would be harming people who never had a hand in ANY of the crimes that were committed in the past.

So, yet again, get a life. Reparations punishes the innocent, to benefit a small criminal element.

So sad, your bigotry dominates your thinki ..err.. opinions.

I posted with clarity for those who can read and comprehend, that I opposed a check. So, you are either a damn liar (likely) or incapable of comprehending the written word.

Grow up.

What bigotry? The only bigots are those who demand that innocent white people pay unaffected black people money, because they happen to be black.

That is the height of bigotry, moron.

Buying Latinos with the promise of DACA
Buying Blacks with money / reperations

What would Liberals do if they could not give away money that isn't their own or things not within their power to 'give'...?

Empathy limited to the right people. Got it.


That's fine. But that is not even close to the Golden Rule.


REally, behavior like that, is more "asshole". Just saying.

Really? Do you think all blacks vote for Democrats, and not Republicans, because black people want free things?

That's not true, but it's a meme, aka, a BIG LIE as are most talking points from the right.

Wry? Why do you find this funny? Surely you'v noticed that a lot of people disagree with your characterization of yourself.

"a lot of people"? I'm rude and condescending to the few, the rude, and the obnoxious. If you want to be liked, it's easy to echo the herd.

What I do, is express my honest opinion on the issues, which either get a positive response, i.e. a substantive thoughtful comment, or a thought provoking response from the few; or an emotional idiot-gram from the many.

This board is overwhelmed with Trump Supporters,or those who hate liberals, Democrats and progressives, and lump everyone who does not support the current conservative ideology as commies, RINO's and haters of the United States.

An immature, and childish responses such as calling us libtards, commies, fascists and other pejoratives with no evidence of a singularity that we on the left all think the same.

The left, BTW, is used as a pejorative, and no matter how many times I've asked a member of your set to define what they mean as a leftist, they won't, can't or "cuss" me out.

1. I think you need to pay more attention, when someone is rude to you, to take a look at what you said to them first. I think a lot of people on the Left, assume the worst about people who disagree with them, and assume ill motives, for simple disagreements.


2. The Left? IMO, the most basic difference between the right and the left can be summed up with this question, Do you believe our Rights are God Given?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Reparations? For what? Not for slavery, which is generations in the past; yet, when considering Jim Crow and the efforts by the conservatives to whine loudly about Affirmative Action, which not only benefited people of color, but women too, there is some merit in considering all those who suffered, and continue to suffer hate and fear, ought to receive some consideration.

Why? Because some are whining about racist policies?

.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

A. No, Jim Crow laws have been repealed long ago. However, racism and bigotry have not been eliminated, and in fact have become more common / acceptable in the last three years (thanks to D.J. Trump).

This is some fucking bullshit right here.

Assume your bullshit is right. You solution is more racism and bigotry. Congratulations, you motherfucking idiot.

A. The Federal Government under Trump and Betsy DeVos won't do anything to support educational curriculum which leads to 21st Century Jobs.

Not the role of the federal government.

Jobs for minorities, especially in CA require a higher education, which too many American citizens can't achieve, a result of the conservative war on public education.

Which is what? What did they do? Talking out of your ass AGAIN????

The jobs in Red States are of concern to Democrats too, it seems fiscal conservatism is unwilling to spend money on remedial education, necessary to compete for jobs, and to move on to higher education (technical or academic).

Where in all that shit is personal responsibility? Why does government need to do for people what they can and should do for themselves?

1a. I pay attention to all alerts, and read the comments with full comprehension. When I've been wrong, I offer a mea culpa,

2a. Gods Rights? LOL NO! I do not believe our rights are of divine source, nor that natural rights protect the individual.

But you've not answered the question, posed here:

LOL, are you whining about White Privilege no longer in effect? The old boys club's glass ceiling has been broken and women get jobs men believed only they could do?

Jim Crow laws no longer exist, but this week black churches were victims of arson. Get you head out of your ass and admit reality into your thinking. Polling places in Black communities are being eliminated by conservative Republican Pols.

I'll give you facts, all the shit seems to be stored in the box you can't think out of.

Can you write something without being hostile daily or do you believe your opinion is the only opinion that matter?

Fact is you are just another partisan hack that hate this country when Republicans are in charge and you believe in one political party rule and prefer the Democrats.

You are like Bernie Sanders and want the government to tell you that you must do something and if not then you blame society for why you did not help out.

So stop living in the past or don't because 2020 is going to suck for you when Trump win again...

Buying Latinos with the promise of DACA
Buying Blacks with money / reperations

What would Liberals do if they could not give away money that isn't their own or things not within their power to 'give'...?

Progressives would be very upset.

They want the government to tell them they must pay more taxes, be more charitable, and be civilized and if not they will blame society until laws are passed to force them to act human...

Notice when you tell them they can give more taxes they usually say the do not want to because it is not required but yet they want the government to tell them to do it.

It is like the Progressive movement wanting Sanctuary Cities until Trump offer to bus in all the illegals then all of a sudden they do not want the illegals....

Progressives are full of it!

You are whining about crimes that occurred DECADES ago. And you further want to punish white people, who did nothing wrong. That is the height of bigotry, and stupidity.

So proclaims the person who is demanding that innocent white people, who were born, for the most part, long after any transgressions were done, pay their hard earned money to black people, who likewise were, for the most part, born long after those crimes were committed.

Talk about a ridiculous argument. Look in the mirror, pal.

More lies by you as usual and the fact is you can donate as much as you wish for your pet projects and pay more taxes if you wish but you refuse to...

Why don't you pay for some kid education for two years or offer minorities jobs at a living wage?

Simple, you are a civil servant that does nothing for anyone unless forced...

Apparently you can't read and comprehend something which conflicts with your biases. In my first post (I recall) I stated clearly that writing a check is not my idea of reparations. That money could be best spent training the protected class, and those not in that class who have lost their jobs; internships for those ready for OJT in long term jobs such as green, renewable, nuclear and the trades,
