If you don't mind singed ass hairs. Of course it's rather insensitive of me to assume you don't shave your ass. I apologize to you and your ass. I wouldn't want to interject hairy-assism into this thread, after all.

It's not even worth a response. Only liberals are concerned about the color of a guys skin, who he prays to or sleeps with. It's ridiculous really.

So all KKK members are liberals? Who knew. Looks like Obama has the Klans vote.

I meant politically pea brain.

Do you honestly see the Republican Party as the one promoting class warfare? That's just wrong! Class warfare has been the copyrighted trademark of the Democratic Party at least back to FDR.

"Class warfare" is so imbedded in human nature that no group or ideology owns the franchise. The accusation comes more often from the right, but they are no better. People can't get enough of bonding with their own kind by claiming moral superiority over the Others.

People seem to identify themselves as members of tribes organized by any of race, income, cultural values/interests, religion.

This thread had a number of beauties. Jessie Jackson's name was not chosen randomly. He has been off the scene for years, why him? Because he remains the perfect symbol of clamorous blacks. Mention his name, and people from Sheephead's tribe(s) nod their heads in solidarity.

The grasshopper story was blatantly and explicitly an opportunity for middle class people to feel superior to the poor. Never mind that "the poor" are a collection of real humans who all have a unique story and set of cirumstances.

Note the reaction when I generically referred to the conflict as "rich vrs poor!" Sheepshead and Iron Mike righteously thrust-out their middle class cracker chests and said, "Whoa, liberal boy, that story is not talking about rich people, we're talking about hard-working people."

Hah! More tribalism! They hopped on the other class warfare wagon that says the rich are inferior to the middle class. See, it's OK to denigrate poor people, they are lazy. And its OK to put-down rich people, they probably got their money the easy way. It's us, hard-working, middle class folk who are the virtuous ones.

Jesse's still around. I live in Chicago and have heard him speak once or twice. He's very good and should be a positive force for minorities but unfortunately he went off the reservation years ago.

By the way, I just cut and pasted that story, I didnt write it. Insert Al Sharpton if it makes you feel better. Bottom line is liberalism has no place in national government. Never has, never will.

It's interesting to watch liberals getting up-in-arms these past few weeks as they are starting to realize that neither of these two lightweights can win a general election even if GWB was running again.

PS. Nice cracker-pleasing reference to Jessie Jackson. Jackson has been out of the spotlight for a good ten years. Couldn't you choose a more topical uppity nigger like Obama or Rev. Wright?

hey, they wouldn't be so uppity if it wasn't for those "northern white boat-rocking civil rights workers to go down south a generation ago and basically stir up trouble among blacks who were content with their life".

"northern white boat rocking civil rights workers"..code for JEWS.

[texaspackerbacker]

Jews, now, Tyrone? That is LAUGHABLE! While in a literal sense, you may be correct that a lot of those "boat-rocking" Yankees may have been Jewish, in the here and now, the Jewish population has been "Farakhanned" into good sense--or at least a survival instinct.

In actuality, there are TWO DISTINCT AND DIFFERENT ISSUES--really with very little overlap: Economic Class Warfare AND Liberal Domination of Black "leadership"--going back to the civil rights movement.

In what seems to be the subject of this thread, the economic class warfare thing, bringing up Jesse Jackson is not necessarily a race card thing. Jesse Jackson is first and foremost a liberal--who likes to exploit jealousy of the relative have-nots against the achievers who have relatively better lives. There may be a racial correlation there, but not really a cause and effect.

I will save the racial stuff for the other thread.

[MJZiggy]

Have nots vs. achievers...interesting.

[texaspackerbacker]

I said RELATIVE have-nots. Even those "have-nots" nowadays in America are way better off than people practically anywhere else in the world or even better off than in America in any earlier era.

But that doesn't stop the Jesse Jackson/Hillary/Obama-types from demagoguing it and stirring up jealousy of the "ant" types, who have been comparatively more successful and thus, have even better lives.

Have nots vs. achievers...interesting.

I actually don't mind that characterization at all. It wouldn't exist if the Democrats didn't constantly pander to the poor with divisionary rhetoric about "corporate fat cats" and tax cuts for the rich that "exploit good decent working folk".

Yeah, well I noted your "fuck you" tribal reaction to a moral fable with underlying thinking that would put your free meal ticket agenda at risk.

I couldn't agree more scott. There wouldn't be any racism around if the damn blacks would just stop pandering. And, same for women and sexism...just more pandering.
