The only thing I see is more and more stereotyping from democrats - which is amazing considering the fact that the dems created the KKK in the first place. And now they constantly act as though it is the republicans who are racist after they used to kill us for helping blacks and they called us "sympathizers". The greatest republican that ever lived was MLK and the dems killed him. Now they make comments about racism and the tea party but as usual they cannot point to a single fact. The Obama house of cards is falling - no strategy, no plan, and no facts - just hateful platitudes and stereotypes to trick democrats and buy more votes with the promises that big government is here to take care of you because you cannot do it on your own. The biggest difference between republicans and democrats is that we believe we can do it on our own. White dems don't think they can so they project and try to convince blacks that they cannot either. This is the dem way of holding blacks down - they want blacks to be fed like dogs just as they are - dems are still racist just like always. The Southern Strategy helped to to oust some dems from ever voting, but most of you are still there doing everything you can to undermine blacks and keep them from believing in themselves. Just look at Obama in the debate - he had nothing to say to Romney's face because he is scared like a rabbit. He had no facts, just lies and he knew going in that there was nothing to say because he can only lie and name call behind Romney's back.

Being in Chains has nothing to do with race. All Americans are today's modern serfs, indentured servants bound to say "Yes, Massa'" to large business employers who care little or nothing about the needs of employees or their health as they're easily replaceable from the Multi-Million person pool of unemployed workers. Even better for the "Lords" is the fact that replacement workers can be had at a fraction of what was paid those loyal workers, some of whom haven't even received a pay raise in years, instead being told: "That's what the job pays, take it or leave it." I even had an employer who insisted I move closer to the company headquarters even though I wasn't paid enough to buy a house in that area. Within a week of the announcement that I was buying a house closer to my relatives, I was let go. Pure spite, I failed to bow to the female CEO. Thomas Jefferson put it best when he said every generation deserved a revolution. We're past time for another one in this country. We're back to doing only what the Lords and Ladies of industry demand.

RACIST, Bigoted, hatefull, fear-mongering, stereotyping statement.

Yet no-one will say a word against the "elite". Just goes to show that you can do *Anything* as long as you're a democrap.

Micah, Micah, Micah. The delusion in your post shows, no radiates from the lamentable and increasingly, basically lame nick-naming of your preferred less than well regarded but duly elected political persons and/or by others well regarded spokespersons, which happen to disagree with you and cause you to experience loose intestinal discharge through the oral orifice as well as through the fingers that operate your keyboard (No mean feat! I give you that, but it's getting a tad tedious.)
How about going into the substance of the matter and prove that you have more to say than just sad, rabid and frothing at the mouth vituperations which underline your impotence!?
