Inauguration Day

I generally refrain from political debate, but what the hell, I've got an insane work load and I need to avoid tackling it.

Seriously though, I think you are right about compromise, but conveniently are ignoring that that is something that Obama infamously ignored. I can recall numerous instances (particularly at the beginning of his presidency), where he refused to compromise with Repubs. I remember a quote along the lines of "elections have consequences" -spoken to John Boehner (sp?) about how R's needed to get on board. Then there was the grand tax bargain thing that he famously tanked at the 11th hour because he, wait for it, refused to compromise... I could go on and on, and if I was really motivated actually dig up relevant news articles. The bottom line is that D's ignored R's right from the beginning (Obamacare passed with no R votes -think about that for a sec). Over the next 8 years, D's lost over 1,000 legislative seats in state and federal gov't. If that alone is not a rejection of one party's political agenda, then I don't know what is. IMHO, Trump just tapped into that anger and successfully rode that wave of rejection to victory. That the D's ran Hillary didn't help anything either.

 

^^Yep. As I've stated before when I actually post on these silly political threads, both Ds and Rs have forgotten how to compromise. I actually think the elite of both parties get off on watching us normal, everyday folks fight over trivial sh!t. Keep us stupid and keep us divided. And it's good TV ratings to boot. Ds and Rs. Rs and Ds.
I'm gonna go home and stick my D in a P.

 

God bless America!

 

o America

 

The first thing that I recall Mr. Obama doing, like a pompous idiot, was rudely return a bust of good ole Sir Winston Churchill to one of our valued allies...

It has been reported that one of the first things Mr. Trump, like a wise man, will be doing, is requesting that said bust of good ole Sir Winston Churchill be returned to the U.S.

 

O Putin

 

If the said to be great orator, Mr. Obama, had wanted to set the matter straight, as to what was really going on, he could have quickly done so.

 

I have no need to attend. I can manipulate things from over here. It has worked well so far wouldn't you say?

 

Stupid is as stupid does.

You want to swat the hornets nest? Be prepared to be stung by the hornets. Lots of them.

 

Well, it's absolutely true that this psycho is not The Messiah and your post is generally on target, except for the passage which I quoted above. Here, you mind of went off the rails a bit in your attempt to make this a racial issue.

When was the last time that Federal law enforcement "fired into a group of protesters", or any group of cops for that matter?

Pretty sure something of that magnitude hasn't happened since Kent State back in 1970. And, I'm also very certain that they didn't fire into a group of African Americans or Native Americans, pretty much white people who were destroying the school due to the draft.

As well, the most recent examples of the government using undue force against its citizens would be Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidians.

Yeah, that's right...all crackers, deemed to be a threat of "domestic terrorism.

If you can give me one decent example of the Feds firing into groups of "people of color", then please do so.

Otherwise, race baiting has no logical place in a political discussion other than to inflame the uninformed masses.

But yeah the whole genocide of native Americans thing was a little intense. I mean there's no argument against that other than, "it hasn't happened recently". I don't recall using the word recently in my initial argument. I made a statement about things that are American, and included in that was firing on people of non Caucasian persuasion. Which is kind of history. And again I didn't say recent history.

I keep forgetting that SI is the upper middle class Stormfront. My B. I'll go back to talking about my cock and y'all can go back to doing whatever it is you do.

 

So a militant Native American ambushing and killing 2 FBI agents who were attempting to arrest somebody else is your qualification of Feds firing into a group of non-Caucasians? Ok dude. I'm sure you believe Huey Newton is innocent too.

So what you're saying is, that Americans were killing innocent non-compliant Native Americans in the 1800's by shooting into unarmed crowds of them?

Then, in a moment of exasperation, you give a blanket assessment of every single Swellie a that may disagree with your statement as being a Neo Nazi.

Wow.

I guess you really are smarter than the rest of us.

There is no such thing as a Native American. The asians invaded America in three separate waves. They were never a cohesive nation, they were separate nations that were constantly at war with each other over resources. This was happening for thousands of years before the European tribe crossed the ocean. The Europeans worked with some "Indians" and had treaties that held for decades before one side or the other broke the treaty and they went to war. The Europeans won most of the wars because the Indian population had been decimated by disease and were already in a weakened state. Just like today a power vacuum opened and the whites moved in. Had been happening like that from the beginning of time since the first African decided to leave that continent and had to cross another Africans path to get there.

For some reason the whole thing is racist because one sides skin and eyes happened to lighten as they they migrated north into areas with less sunlight. Still the same people just less melanin for protection. Europeans are a tribe that just happened to live in harsh environments that meant they had to be resourceful to survive. That resourcefulness led to their success that led to overpopulation that led to emigration. That led to one non native people out surviving another non native people and taking over. Liberals are so into nature, that sounds like a natural process to me.

 

nice write up but still doesn't mean taking someones homeland/house etc is "the right thing to do"

 

Can we take this statement as your support against illegal immigration then?

 

no illegal immigrant has taken my house from me...but it is illegal for a reason,,there is a proper way to gain citizenship..have them fill papers out on the border stamp them issue them a card etc

 

Maybe not, but its the natural thing to do. You can't have it both ways. You can't use science and nature to support one side and claim the same rational can't be used to explained the opposite. You can't use the "it happens in nature all the time" argument in support of the argument that homosexuality is natural and deny that it's natural for one animal to outcompete another and force it from it's home. It happens all the time in the animal kingdom and humans are just animals.

You can't be accepting of the truth that Indians were slaughtering each other for thousands of years with tribes being conquered by another and absorbed. And not accept another tribe that just happens to have white skin doing the same thing. Is it the whiteness of the skin that changes it? It the size of the body of water that changes it? After all tribes were crossing some pretty large lakes to conquer others in the Americas. Is it the fact that the body of water that was crossed is salty? I don't see the difference.

Oh yeah, by my use of "you" I don't mean anyone in particular It's just easier to write that way.

 

Sure dude, nice deflection. You draw a nice little picture of Euros arriving in America and the following social upheaval as Euros "taking someones (sic) homeland/house is "the right thing to do", but when illegal aliens come into our country, break laws, kill and rape, take jobs, tax an already overburdened social system, disrespect our culture, etc etc etc...your response is "no illegal immigrant has taken my house from me".

Sorry bub, but it's the exact same scenario whether you choose to understand it or not. But you just keep on being your same ol' disingenuous self, OK?

And one more thing: Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, can "gain citizenship" by "fill(ing) papers out on the border", stamping them and issuing out a card. This statement alone tells me that you don't have one single clue about immigration NOR citizenship.

Stick to posting about bodyboarding, surf fashion and sand recon.
