Ok I guess I must have missed it. Gotta go look again.

Why would ultra-conservatives need to read when they have crazies like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rish Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, and all the talk radio loonies to read for them? That's why they're not too proficient when it comes to reading and gathering facts for themselves.  ::)

It's at the top of page 2.

As for the rest ------> ::)

You are being held captive by your own bias and subjectivity. In fact, it seems that right now you're being held captive by the right-wing lunatic fringe. You actually think they're your friends. If I'm wrong I haven't een any evidence to the contrary yet. Look, it's one thing for you to disagree with the current President's POLICIES. THAT in and of itself does not make you ignorant.

We are all entitled to our opinions. But when you start doing nothing but parroting tired right-wing talking points that we've heard on FOX News and talk radio constantly (like throwing around the word "socialism") without regard for objective facts, then you go on to DISMISS the notion of how a "parody" entitled "Barack the magic NEGRO" concerning the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES can be racist, that sounds pretty Stockholm-ish to me.

BTW, since the education system EVERYWHERE, NATIONALLY is bad and the post office is inefficient, I supposed you're never going to use ANY of those services again as a way to boycott "socialism."  ::)




My own bias, no I'm open I'm still waiting for you three to make a point. First you didn't respond to any of the things I posted in green. Then you proceed to attack me personally by calling me an uncle tom, comparing me to carlton and then saying I'm held captive by the right wing lunatic fringe. For a christian forum that seems pretty low.

There are different forms of socialism. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/socialism scroll down to the last definition of socialism. Is that not where we are and where we are headed?

Parroting? I mentioned one thing, ONE thing they talk about and that's socialism. I have not quoted anything else either Rush or Hannity has said so don't try to dismiss me as though all I do is spout every line I've ever heard them say on their programs.

I'm not dismissing that the parody is racist I'm still waiting on an explanation of what makes it racist other than the fact it was created by a white man and has the word negro in the title.

And as I recall many many people have called our former president Bush dumb, stupid, and idiot. They've done the same with Sarah Palin. We have black celebrities accusing our president of being racist(Kanye West). Is that not in the same vein as the song? Calling names has nothing to do with political beliefs but somehow that was ignored when a white republican was in office.

Not all socialism is bad. The government should run or oversee certain sectors. However I don't feel like healthcare, the car companies or the banks should be ones that they do run. Nowhere in my post did I say that the school system is bad EVERYWHERE but I do believe that it has more bad spots than good. No, I don't have any facts to back that up this is from personal experience. If I have it my way my kids will never go to a public school.

With the post office again I repeat I do believe the government should run or oversee certain sectors. My point is that before we rush into allowing the government to run something as large and important as healthcare let's take a look at the areas they already run. The school system, weak as a whole, not necessarily in EVERY are but overall. The post office, losing money, constantly raising prices, shutting down branches, hmm....do we really want this same government to regulate our healthcare?

No you aren't.  You're simply playing dumb.

They posted the lyrics. There really isn't anything else that needs to be said. Even the title itself is pretty self-explanatory. The song tries to insult EVERYONE, including white people who voted for Obama. It's disgusting, and yes, it is RACIST, Period.

Satire, regardless of its intent, can be offensive...even if there may be an underlying valid point.  In such a case, the point actually becomes invalidated or lost by the manner in which it is communicated.

Well let me ask you this: If more government intervention was to make certain things such as healthcare and other areas in the private sector equally distributed or fair would you then be open to a little more government intervention?

I feel like one of the reasons why we have social stratification and economic inequality is because of the capitalistic system in this country which basically allows for competition without looking at fairness. I'm not what you call a heavy advoate for more government control but I feel like somebody has to get more of our systems fair and equal.

That sounds more like communism rather than socialism.  Anybody remember Conrail (Consolidated Rail Corp.)?  It, along with the National Passenger Rail Corp. (dba/Amtrak) was created by the government to help save the rail industry.  Conrail came to be when the government picked up the ruins of the Penn Central (at the time, the largest U.S. bankruptcy) and five other failed North Eastern railroadsand merged them into a qusi-government organization.  Conrail eventually became a profitable entity and moved from government into the private sector.  Since that time, it has been merged and split between CSX and Norfolk Southern.  So as we have seen, socialism has played a role in our capitalist economy with some success.
