    Obama 2012 reacted to Danno in Republican Party Platform of 1956   
    And what happened in 1957 when The GOP won?
    Civil Rights Act of 1957
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    The Civil Rights Act of 1957, Pub.L. 85-315, 71 Stat. 634, enacted September 9, 1957, primarily a voting rights bill, was the first civil rights legislation enacted by Congress in the United States since Reconstruction following the American Civil War.
    Following the historic US Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which eventually led to the integration of public schools, Southern whites in Virginia began a "Massive Resistance". Violence against blacks rose there and in other states, as in Little Rock, Arkansas, where that year President Dwight D. Eisenhower had ordered in federal troops to protect nine children integrating a public school, the first time the federal government had sent troops to the South since Reconstruction.[1] There had been continued physical assaults against suspected activists and bombings of schools and churches in the South. The administration of Eisenhower proposed legislation to protect the right to vote by African Americans.

    There you have it right there folks.
    More proof that the Democratic party supporters are nothing more than sexists, racists, bigots, etc.. just as we all really know. You wait just a little bit and they can't help but show their true colors. More than happy to start calling women the "B" word and mean it!

    The big picture - A lot of people crossing the border pay $7000 to do so to Coyotes. Money that could make a difference in their home country.
    The big picture - MILLIONS of illegal immigrants who could make a difference in their home country, but instead run like cowards to the US and then choose to steal our services here from law abiding citizens.
    I saw screw em. Every last one of them. Deport them, remove them from this country by ANY means necessary.

    Obama 2012 got a reaction from B_J in Where Did the Debt Come From?   
    The tax cuts DID NOT cause 20% the deficit. Cutting your revenue does not cause debt UNLESS you SPEND beyond what your revenue source is.
    The economy and spending are to blame. The US Government made more money than at any other time in its history in 2007! Not anytime before that. So the economy was at it's 'climax' in 2007 and even with those 'tax cuts' that everyone likes to blame for everything, the government made more money!
    The economy is the little engine that could. The government needs a stable/strong economy to make money. Tax rates are irrelevant if the economy is strong.
    If you have a job, and you take a pay cut, well then you should probably stop spending as much as you were before when you had a higher salary. The government works the same way. The idea we need to rack up all this debt to pay for bullshit is outright stupidity.

    Obama 2012 got a reaction from I AM NOT THAT GUY in 51% of the popular vote translated to 61% of the electoral college vote - your thoughts on the EC.   
    Anyone who thinks that the EC is working as originally intended needs to go re-read the constitution and look at the modifications made to it.
    The people were never supposed to have ANY type of actual 'vote' for the Presidency. Nor were they the Senators as well.
    The 'people' is supposed to be the House of Reps.

    Obama 2012 reacted to kytwell in Is this an accurate reflection of our tax policy?   
    Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
    The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
    The fifth would pay $1.
    The sixth would pay $3.
    The seventh would pay $7.
    The eighth would pay $12.
    The ninth would pay $18.
    The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
    So, that ' s what they decided to do.
    The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I ' m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20." Drinks for the ten now cost just $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men– the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share? They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody ' s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man ' s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
    And so:
    The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
    The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
    The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
    The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
    The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
    The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
    Each of the six was better off than before. ! And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man," but he got $10!" "Yeah, that ' s right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It ' s unfair that he got ten times more than I!" "That ' s true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"
    The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
    And that, ladies and gentlemen is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
    This explains the current situation in this country perfectly. Keep beating them "rich" folks up.

    Obama 2012 got a reaction from B_J in Faux News: How the Media Helped Obama Win Re-Election   
    I blame the Iraq war and taxes for Kerry's loss.
    However the loss was still close and it just goes to show you how truly divided America has become by the corporate system.
    The people don't even realize they are being toyed with for the most part and it's quite sad.
    This 'pick a side' mentality is what is destroying this country. It's not the homosexual marriage, abortion, or any other social issues. It's the "us vs them" mentality. It's the two-party corporate sponsored election system.
    If half of the country is not happy about who's running things, then we have a huge problem. The "nah nah boo boo ha ha we won, you lost, get over it bullshit' from both sides doesn't accomplish a damn thing either and is just childish.
    We all know Obama and the Democrats for the most part have zero intention of working with Republicans, just as the Republicans for the most part have zero intentions either. Both would rather cut out their own eye balls than actually do anything that might make the other look good in the coming years. It's why Harry Reid won't bring things for a vote and why the House won't write legislation for the President's ideas. It's all a game, and 'we the people' are the losers.
