The system that made us successful is being lost. That's the point. It was very successful when it was being applied. But now it's being altered.
Well, we took 2/3 of Mexico, maybe its time to inform Canada that BC and Alberta are historically part of the US? We could send them some blankets with smallpox....

It was very successful when we had an agricultural economy and population of 30,000,000 20% of which were slaves or Indians. :nod:

wasn't calling you a name, I was stating a fact. A bigot is "a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc."
When you call a person a "bigot" you are not stating a fact. You are stating an opinion. By that definition you have to form the opinion that someone "unfairly" has an outlook.

I do dislike certain ideas. I dislike what the polls show about the attitudes and philosophies certain groups tend to hold. But I do not agree with your opinion that there is anything "unfair" about the conclusions I've reached or the positions I have taken. I think they are entirely justified.

When it comes to individuals I assess them on a case by case basis. For instance, I have no problem pointing to Black people I am fine with. Walter Williams. Thomas Sowell. Clarence Thomas. And...as an aside...Clarence Thomas is married to a White woman. I'm fine with those guys because I like their philosophical outlooks. They could be trusted with power. They are, as individuals, positive influences.

But when I look at the Black community as a whole I see a community that votes 90% plus Democrat in every election and tends to think that it's owed special consideration. That tends to think that its members should get the job or the college admission or whatever even when they are not even close to the most qualified for it. That tends to think big government is a good thing.

So I think that, in general, the Black community is a negative influence on our civilization right now. And it's not an unfair outlook at all.

Of course it's not the Black community's fault that it's here. We did that. But illegal immigration from Mexico, for example, is different. Nobody is going out and capturing those people and bringing them here in chains. We should not be accepting them. Nor should we be doing things to accommodate them such as making sure that there is an "Spanish" option every time someone calls some business or institution. We should be making it harder for them to live and survive here, not easier. And that's not an unfair attitude either.
By virtue of your posts on here, you are a bigot. :coffee:

America is a land of immigrants. Most people here today are here because their ancestors immigrated to America at some point between 1607 and today. Sure there is a small group of Americans who are completely of Native American descent, but for most of us, we come from ancestors who immigrated.

As a country of immigrants we should embrace our past and encourage others to do the same. We can and should embrace the past while at the same time embracing the present. That's why I loved the Coca Cola commercial "It's Beautiful" during tonight's Super Bowl.

Starting in the late 1890s my ancestors began immigrating to America from Italy, England, Germany and Quebec, I am proud of where my family comes from just as much as where we are today. If I was a first generation American who spoke both English and a native language such as French or Italian or German, I would be just as proud to speak that at times as I would to speak English.

Our food is a mixture of everyplace we have come from, why can't our spoken word be as well?

I applaud Coca Cola for their commercial. I applaud them for having the guts to air it.

To those who attack it, you attack everything America is about.
Lol yeah it took "guts" to air the commercial. Coke knew exactly what they were doing- it was time for the wingnuts to get their monthly scolding - needed or not

Faux outrage, pointed out just minutes after the ad aired.

But thanks for the unique yet somehow familiar biopic/lecture about how we should all think just like you

By virtue of your posts on here, you are a bigot.
As long as you realize that is your opinion, and not an established fact. One definition of a "bigot" is basically "one who is intolerant of other opinions." I find that an awful lot of people who call other people bigots fit that definition. They basically call people bigots because they are not tolerant of the opinions those people are expressing. Thus showing, even while they are calling others "bigots," that they are bigots themselves.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

i respect your right to say what you want, but that doesn't mean I'm a bigot for calling you out on your own intolerance. I mostly have zero tolerance for animal and child a users, deadbeats and people that squandered all the educational opportunities that are readily available in our country.

The overarching theme of John's on-line persona seems to be a consistent effort to apply a veneer of science and logic on some of his uglier beliefs. Kind of like his soul-mates over at Storm Front... :coffee:
