Quit insulting him bro. Do you even lift? Bunch of pansy ass libruls in this board I tell ya.

I don't know, you tell me. They seem angrier and angrier by the day as they gain more and more traction in society. It's like the analogy "If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to want a glass of milk"

I lol'd at the Leave it to Beaver photo. But, what's so bad about people being kind to each other and smiling. Or is being a smiling white person code for being a racist?

I honestly can't tell if he believes that there is a special "don't have to pay back your loans" program that is available only to minorities, or he's just talking about the standard, open to everyone, Income Based Repayment policy http://www.ibrinfo.org/what.vp.html and arguing that there is no racism in the world because minorities aren't banned from participation.

Yo OK church attendance, living wages, fine, totally degraded. But barbecues? When the **** did we get rid of those? I call BS, pretty sure barbecues are thriving in America.

So what if you changed pushing the button to kill, to pushing a button to institute a simple voting qualification test that would achieve a lot of the same goals?

This guy says it well, though I'm not sure I agree with everything here.

Quote:

Trump also would “develop a list of regions and countries from which immigration must be suspended until proven and effective vetting mechanisms can be put into place.” As part of this strict scrutiny, Trump said, “Applicants will be asked for their views about honor killings, about respect for women and gays and minorities, attitudes on Radical Islam, and many other topics as part of the vetting procedure.”

In their upcoming debates, Trump should ask Hillary Clinton: “What’s wrong with barring from America those who believe that women should be murdered by their relatives for going on dates, and gays should be stoned to death?”

Refuting those who argue that he opposes all immigration, Trump said, “We want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally and properly-vetted, and in a manner that serves the national interest.”

Haha Truth.

don't skip leg day

Oh snap, Aqmed was one question away from being accepted as an immigrant but then went on a massive tangent about honor killings. Thank God we asked!

You should be open to the possibility that you're wrong about a lot of things. Take a deep breath and open up.

Gay marriage has changed recently. What other rights have minorities gained since 1996?

Tensions are higher now?

What legislation on transgender bathrooms? Many Universities started creating gender neutral bathrooms (not legislation - also my dorms in 1985 had gender neutral bathrooms). Some cities required gender neutral signs on public single occupancy bathrooms. After that several conservative states passed laws requiring people to use bathrooms that matched their birth sex.

How is a living wage a conservative issue? What is the solution to salaries in the private industry? The conservative solution to that is for the POTUS to say private industry sets salaries, period.

That's the internet for you and certainly not all liberals are personally nice.

The media is almost all corporate and economically fairly conservative. Fox and AM radio are radical right wing propaganda and most of the "talent" is literally paid by libertarian foundations for their content.

True. And this is an area where most conservatives have basically conceded to democrats/liberals.

The white-surbuban folks, like "The Leave it to Beavers" all started going liberal and promoting its cause. They watch the late night talk shows, go see Hollywood movies, go to liberal colleges. A lot of them vote democrat.

Only the blue collar hillybillty types are the hostile racists. This group seriously has no political or economic power and they have been satirized to death (Southpark).

Yes, there are elitist whites. Donald Trump is one. Hillary is another. They think they are better than everyone because they are rich, and probably not because they are "white". But, it's really a dumb tangent, because who cares, we all know rich people look down on everyone else.

But as far as society goes, it's probably a wise move to be "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" as it seems to combine the strengths of both ideologies.

(Southpark)

Which decade would you like to go back to? With your set of beliefs, you would definitely be cool with pre WW1 America. Women knew their place in the house and blacks couldn't vote.

Fiscal conservative doesn't mean spending within your means and all that hunky dorey stuff that doesn't even apply to governments anyway. It means marginal tax rate cuts by any means necessary.

Dissing the Beav is just wrong!

What's next?

As a lesbian, I will personally say that I am both:

(A) Significantly happier both personally and with the general state of lgbtq rights today than I was 20 years ago. I can get married, walk down the street holding hands with a woman with less fear of getting harassed/attacked (haven't had a beer bottle thrown at me or been called a "****ing dyke" in at least 5 years!!! #feels good, man) have sex without fear of getting arrested, be out at my job, publicly hang out with my lgbtq friends who are in the military without worrying that my "alternative" apoearance might accidentally out them, etc., etc.

(B) More likely to publicly talk about the issues where I would still like to see progress made because I don't have as much to fear in the way of consequences and I know more people will have my back.

Tl/dr: Just because I finally found my voice, doesn't mean that I was happier when I was silent.

Except Trump has made being anti-Mexican and anti-Muslim part of his campaign. That's why it's a big issue. That's why David Duke et al are in his fan club.

And then if you look a little below the surface, the propaganda about supply-side economics wasn't enough and the actually beneficiaries are too small a constituency, ergo Republicans became the party of racism.

Is there something in here which you oppose?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1968

Because the GOP became the party in opposition to them in order to get some voters from the middle and lower classes and that's been part of their constituency ever since.

You can spot someone who knows nothing about government or macroeconomics if they use the household or business analogy.

How on Gods green earth does spending within your means not apply to government?

Fiscal conservatism is a buzz phrase that sounds good but only is good if you're in the 1%.

No Republican President has been fiscally conservative since before Nixon anyway. Cutting taxes and still increasing spending is what has happened. There's some shift from spending on social programs and infrastructure to prisons, police, and war is all.

But then, even if Republicans were fiscally conservative, look at the history of the last 100 years and tell me how you think prosperity for the bulk of the population matches up with government spending.

It's more like it applies differently to governments, and very differently to governments which issue debt in their own fiat currency.

I'm aware of this. The tax breaks put more money into every day people's pockets. Not such a bad thing.

I hate to break it to you Microbet but supply side economics is actually how a market economy works. Demand side or what ever else you want to call it is just pablum. Trickle down economics is the reality of the capitalist world. JFK put it well, "a rising tide lifts all boats"
