I see very few racist comments in these posts. If you are disgusted that is your privilege in this country, it would seem that you come from a very repressed environment.

As for having others that look like me I guess you didn’t grow up in this country. Unless you mean most of my peers when I grew up with had one head, two arms and two legs. Well even that doesn’t really work as many of my peers didn’t have two arms or two legs. That what happens when you grow up in a farm community.

So clue us in or guit make such nasty statements with no foundation in fact.

You couldn’t be more incorrect. Rights are God-given and affirmed by law. In the context of government, we all have the right to say anything we want, with the sole exception of threats to the President. It might bother you that people say things contrary to your experience, but that does not mean that they have no right do so. — Bryan Ellis

One other point: It appears to me you’re basing your entire argument against racism on the premise of racism. By suggesting it is a “privilege” to grow up in an environment where teachers, doctors and government leaders look like you, you are inherently suggesting that people who didn’t have that experience would be better off if they did. That’s still racism, just in a different direction. Food for thought. — Bryan Ellis

Small government, anti-intervention warfare, let states decide their own social issues.

You can all waste your votes, I’m being American and voting for the guy I agree with.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

I understand your frustration and it saddens me because our government also understands it. They want it, they need it, they create as much of it as they can!!

Now before anyone goes off of the deep end let us look at some facts of history. Yes, history the great teacher.

All governments are started to further someone’s agenda. Some agendas are more noble than others yet all of them eventually fail. It has always been because they lost sight of their original purpose. They all did this by weakening their original creeds, be they a creed of well being or a creed of conquest.

Ours was started to give us all more free choice than what we had under the King. Freedom to worship as we choose, freedom to not be taxed excessively, freedom to protect ourselves from the government. The problem all governments have is the same, the people working for the government. Be they the politicians or the buzzing bees under them.

As soon as the government gets started it starts going to hell in a hand basket. They want to survive above all else and unlike those of us the private sector, they have the power to sustain themselves.

They do this by making themselves bigger and bigger and bigger. By taking more and more freedom from all of us so we can not be a threat to their way of life. As time goes on the disconnect becomes larger and larger until we are faced with what we have now.

As individuals we can quickly come to some rational decisions about what our society needs. We need good schools, the government states it takes a study and more money to give us good schools. Not true go to any private school and look at their cost per student, makes you kind of sick seeing how we are lied to.

We need better health care and they are the only ones who can provide it. Better roads, better air, better this and better that, yet tell me one program running well or at a good cost. None exist because of one thing and one thing only. They have no accountablity!!

Now the powers that be say, “well you can vote us out”. The answer is maybe and then sometimes not at all. You certainly have to bear with them for a long time to find out how much truth they actually had in their speeches. In the mean time they pass laws making it even harder to find out what they are doing, even harder to speak out against them, even more depressing to vote for anything.

The government officials work very hard to disinterest us in actually voting. The amount of time devouted to stacking the deck against the populus is frightening, most behind closed doors by people you wouldn’t want your children or loved ones anywhere near.

If any of the govenment people really wanted to make our country stronger, better and our country an even happier place to be, the spending would go down, entitlements would become a thing of the past and everyone would be treated the same, private and government both. As you can see that is not going to happen.

I only see more class warfare talk taking place, more division between government employees and private employees and more talk of they need to take care of us, because we don’t know how.

Words are cheap, actions are strong and I see nothing about real change except making government bigger. As it becomes more, we become less, just something to feed the machine.

What is it about most politicians and especially liberals that make them immune to the cold hard facts? Why is it every time they are presented with an absolute fact they say “well maybe that happened every time before but this time it won’t happen that way”?

I just don’t get it and sure don’t understand people whom only want to talk out of both sides of their face.

I am getting to like McCain more and more!! I don’t always agree with him but at least he has some ethics and moral character. Obama doesn’t have either and one more question. What is his wife so damn angry about? She hasn’t had it any rougher than many in this country but she is an angry woman, why?
