Companies are scared shitless of getting sued for being prejudiced or racist, so therefore, they absolutely bend over backwards for African Americans, and other ethnic groups. Heck, most government employers HAVE to hire a certain percentage of minorities by mandate. This is beyond fucked up. There's a lot of highly qualified non-minorities being "passed over" simply because their skin isn't of a dark pigmentation. This kind of nonsense also angers and frustrates non-minorities and deeply widens the "racial divide" that we have in America. Whenever you see "EEOC" on a job application, be prepared for the "We thank you for seeking employment with our organization, but we have chosen a candidate we feel is more suitable for the position" bullshit letters. It is absolutely infuriating.
Democrats perpetuate and champion this CRAP, and I see America's values being flushed down the toilet DAILY by "liberal" politicians. Now throw into the pot of shit the democrats created, things like outrageous tax hikes... as if we don't pay enough motherfucking taxes as it is, and then turn around and put those hard-earned tax dollars into shameful programs like: Buildings to house illegals crossing the border, Section 8 housing, EBT cards, cell phones, free this, free that, etc etc etc. Not to mention stomping all over the constitution that made America great. That's why, as sure as I'm sitting here typing this, I will NEVER, EVER, EVER vote for a Goddamned democrat EVER in my life. They have brought America to her knees. Clinton, probably the most unprofessional and disgusting presidents we've ever had; Carter, with his IQ of probably less than 60; Obama, a racial divider and a minority with a dangerous agenda, and has the most corrupt administration in the history of mankind, let alone America. Thank GOD Eric Holder resigned. How about these new LBGT laws? Certain municipalities are mandating that you can use whichever gender restroom you identify with. DAFUQ????? And Alex, I respectfully say... if you don't see what's happening, YOU are blind my intelligent and articulate friend.
Then we have Richie Rich on the right planning on running. A guy who will undoubtedly use his executive privilege to pad his own pockets even deeper by catering to BIG BUSINESS, big oil, etc and protecting his family's interests. It's madness. I will take that over a liberal ANY DAY, but it's still not much of a palatable choice. This whole thing is going to be a true circus, and we're all gonna lose (we'll just lose even worse if another liberal gets elected).
i'm curious why you keep asking about things if you never have any interest in thinking critically about them - it's like instead of a real discussion, you're just waiting for your turn to post
no wait, you sound exactly like one of those shithead conservative radio talk show hosts with all their misinformation, cherry-picked quotes, and fearmongering. you know the kind, they use shouted repetition to drown out the few guests smart enough to realize they're full of shit, they pander to the lowest common denominator, they use carefully-crafted race/class dogwhistles to prey on the fears of our dumbest, and they just generally do a bang-up fucking job of poisoning the well of public fucking discourse. it's uncanny really, i feel like i'm reading a direct transcript
anyway, a few observations:
1. wow what a load of manufactured non-crises. first of all, half of that stuff isn't even true (and i've got a pretty good idea on where you heard it). second, i am pretty sure it's YOU walking on the constitution if you think your idiotic personal beliefs should dictate what other CITIES can or can't do with their TOILETS. i thought you were all about freedom? if you'd actually read your constitution, you'd know that states and on down through lesser governmental bodies have free reign to make laws as they see fit, as long as they're not specifically barred by the constitution itself. that's how prostitution is legal in NV* and why some towns will let you walk around outside the bar with your beer and others won't and why all the non-shitty states don't give a fuck about whether two dudes want to get married. third, related to the first, read your own post for a moment and consider how many of the stances you have on those things you whined about are based on your personal faith. well guess what, fuck your faith. read your constitution again - the first amendment guarantees that one american's faith can't be the basis for laws that directly affect another american. not that i think you are particularly sincere about your faith anyway, but that's irrelevant
2. i'm not sure what you're talking about re: liberals in charge wrecking the place. there's mountains of evidence to the contrary, but you could surely start with the fact that red states almost invariably suck far more money out of the federal government than they put in, whereas it's pretty much always the blue states footing the bill. good luck spinning that one. or you could also look at kansas right now. gov brownback came in and hammered through some insane shit containing - oh you'll never guess - massive tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations, and equally massive cuts to just about every branch of state government. "it will give the kansas economy a shot in the arm" he said. to the contrary. several years later and the state is in a freefall, shedding jobs and bleeding debt. the boeing plant that basically put wichita on the map shut down and moved out of state, and the cuts to the education system were so deep that PARENTS sued the governor over his budget. the conservative free market supply side deregulation gospel of jayzuz has already been tried dude, and it's only created misery and suffering. that's because it's a complete fraud designed for one thing and one thing only: wealth extraction.
3. speaking of ultra-red states, have you heard of how utah is solving homelessness? by giving away homes to people who don't have them. they figured that hey, since the average homeless person costs us about $16,000 per year in ER trips and jail stints, why wouldn't we just give them an apartment AND a caseworker for only $11,000 a year. now, you tell me: is that nanny-state? is that government overreach? is that unnecessary welfare? all i see is two birds with one stone - homelessness eradicated, money saved. government of/by/for the people CAN solve more problems than it creates, as long as the right people are at the wheel. too bad half this fucking dumpster fire keeps electing assholes determined to prove the opposite
4. oh so now you admit that elected officials cater to big business/oil/whatever rather than serve the people that elected them? you do realize corporations' corrupting influence on policymaking was a huge part of almost all my previous posts in this thread, not to mention one of the main thrusts of Occupy? i'm beginning to think you never know what the fuck you're talking about, you just take whatever stance lets you disagree with me
