Whoa. Calling blacks traitors based on the fact that the'yre...well, black...is pretty harsh, hombre. I bet the majority of blacks wouldn't take too kindly of your characterization.
BTW, my home state of MS is 35% black, and we have no problem electing Republicans, even though most of our black brethren tend to vote Democratic. Same thing with South Carolina which is about 25% black.
So what's the difference between MS, SC and NY?
Could it be that MS and SC aren't covered up with pantywaist white liberals and militant black nationalists like NY?
Yes, glad you're back. (Where were you?)
btw, don't know if I've ever said this before, but I've always loved your screen name.
[White (72%) 50% 49% 1%
African-American (13%) 9% 90% 1%
Latino (9%) 24% 75% 1%
Asian (4%) 27% 72% *
Clemenza is correct. Bush lost every precinct in Manhattan, although he came within single digits of Kerry in two precincts.]
He may be correct on precincts, but I am apparently correct that the whites of New York tried to stay loyal to the country and voted mostly for Bush (if not by much). The danger is from the minorities...and I am not racist to point that out. The minorities voted for a traitor...4 weeks after he said OIF was a "colossal mistake".
And NYC went through a major race war in the 70s and 80s. Apparently the whites and the blacks still think diffrently from each other.
I abandoned New York City like the above people. I couldn't take the liberalism anymore as my profile shows.
But 50% of whites in New York voted for Bush. That means every second white person in that city is on our side.
[The serious traitors in the northeast are the majority of minorities (blacks and Muslims) who would let Russ Feingold become President.]
There is nothing racist in the above remark. I am commenting on the urge to vote for the USA's defeat. There isn't a little bit of racism in the remark.
I'm not calling you a racist. Just saying that your original remark was pretty harsh. That's all.
About the female lawyer, liberals never get 3 minutes into any tirade against Bush with me because I casually and efficiently shoot down any childish argument at the get-go...leaving them flailing to think of an adult argument.
I live in Germany. Any argument that "everyone hates us now" is immediately shot down with enough rapid fire repudiations of that nonsense...that it leaves the liberal flailing...it is their BIGGEST argument.
It is their core foundation for being against Bush.
One problem I find with American "conservatives" is that they give the liberals grass to feed on. We give them their foundations to build on and we don't pull out the foundation.
So a standard conservative's answer to the "we are all hated around the world now because of Bush" is something stupid like "so what!" or a tepid "I don't care what France thinks"...or silence.
The same thing goes with Vietnam. You cannot give liberals their victory in Vietnam. You must hold your ground and not concede that for your own "credibility".
Until enough conservatives come forward and make Vietnam an issue again...liberals will have the bedrock of their faith in treason...firmly untouched.
Conservative.
Why did the southern guy empty his weapon? All this time I thought them southern boys were better shots! I mean cmon...thats wasting perfectly good ammo.
New York State does not equal New York City. Just ask the folks up in Rochester.
man, I've felt like that for years, and believe me I hate it.
I wish this country could be more or less unified on essential cultural and moral issues and put an end to what Walker Percy called "this damned sectionalism."
The good news is that it's not exactly like 1850 all over again.
At least, the rural and/or suburan, God-fearing areas of the country have realized that they have more in common with each other than they do with the decrepit cities in their midst. And, it's nice to have boys from WI and MS on the same side this time around.
But just wait...if the SCOTUS ever overturns Roe v. Wade, the contrasts will sharpen even more, and perhaps a new and historically ironic breed will be born--the Southern Abolitionist.
Another Funny :)
There's an "identity politics" aspect to these animosities. Both sides seem to be saying "This is what I am, and you threaten what I am." But is that really the case? Aren't we large enough a country to encompass very different ways of life? Most of this ill-feeling, is tongue in cheek, isn't it?
Join in.
The animus content of political sites is way above the median in America, be it Daily Kos, Dem Undergroud, Mydd, or this site. In many ways, America is more homogenious ideologically than at any time in its history.
No way.
Every liberal I know is absolutely horrified by my views.
I make them ill.
You just like to mess with their minds. You don't bother this RINO at all. I see through it all. :)
What do you think explains Bush's terrible showing among Asian-Americans?
I don't know. It ran all across the country, except for Hawaii. Bush did quite a bit worse than he did in 2000 with Asians, so we can't mark it up to their cultural distaste for evangelicals. And Bush's sag with the Arab vote does not explain enough of it, assuming that Arabs are counted as Asians that are from Asia.
