Something Reagan started in the 80's but Faux news told their viewers Obama started it and that it is bad. Welfare gives you a cell phone with limited minutes per month. Reagan payed for your phone bill each month. (If I got a detail or two wrong with Reagan's plan I apologize. And no it does not make me weak for apologizing. lol)

That's a bloody great idea. I'm sure there's some people with jobs, family, friends and social contact that wouldn't have otherwise. Even in it's limited way, it sounds like a great empowerment to people.

It's always annoying being unqualified, I agree.

Does said job have you interact with Spanish speaking people?

Well I am in the legal field so we may get some Spanish speaking clients. However in times where we would need to take a deposition, usually the reporting service would just send us a translator should we request it. But as I searched for a job before this I ran into that pre-requisite hundreds of times.

Whites have let themselves be convinced that it is racist merely to object to dispossession, much less to work for their own interests. Never before has a people been fooled into thinking that there was virtue or nobility in surrendering its heritage, and giving away to others its place in history, only whites have been tricked into thinking that love for their own people is somehow “hatred” of others.

With 13% black (voting 99% Obama) and 15% Hispanic (voting 70% Obama) Non-Liberal Whites have to have a Super Majority in anything to do anything.

Those days are past, Whites or at least Conservative, racially aware Whites are powerless. Oh we will win here and there, on and off, but always fewer and in decline, like Europe under the Muslims, until Whites rise up and fight them off, as in the Battle of Tours.

No one has missed the gleeful articles printed by DWLs talking about Whites being a minority in their own Country by 2043. The die was cast by Kennedy in the 1965 Immigration act. Unlike Gondor, we have let the Southrons and the Orcs move in and more come every day. We have our science for a few more decades, but no big projects. The Moon was our high point, and we achieved it. Any other expensive project will be either multinational and/or protested by the Orcs as "taking away from the Poor" money that could be spent on "programs" (meaning Orc Programs).

LOL @ LOTR parallel.
 
Saw this lengthy exchange on my Facebook. Some of their opinions about weed legalization seemed a little unusual to me. In the interest of privacy, I deleted all names and images.. I suppose I should have left a letter to allow it to read better but oh well. It was a pain to create the image and I already closed down the program, lol.

How long ago is "5 hours" because

if it's 5 hours ago from now... I saw Obama having most popular vote
 
Someone explain this to me, without just saying they're crazy: Do neocons keep associating Obama with welfare mamas because he somehow drastically expanded the welfare system from what it was 4 years ago into some uncontainable beast?
 
Everyone should chill out and play some nice music for their Republican friends.

Here is a sweet song to kick things off:

God are there any level headed reactions from Republicans? I can understand being disapointed but damn. They are not even specific with what they think is going to go terribly wrong with a 2nd term for Obama. I would be more understanding if some were concerned with <insert specific policy here>, but all I've been reading is shit about "MaRxist!!!@!, SocialiSM!!!, End of AMuriCa!!!"
It's very disturbing and unsettling.

My uncle was surprisingly level headed

This morning, I am disappointed.

Although the individual I cast my vote for yesterday did not win, that is not what disappoints me this morning. ( I was disappointed in the choices I had to make to lead the country either way!)

What truly disappoints me this morning is the attitude of any across the nation and in my own neighborhood as well.

We live in a country that allows us to CHOOSE our political leaders, and last night our leader for the next four years was chosen. Chosen by one of the greatest nations (yes we still are) on the planet.

The system works. The nation has decided. Time to support our president on the whole.

He is. I try not to be political on Facebook, but I posted this over the weekend. As I mentioned in another election thread, my Facebook is full of family from South Carolina as well as friends and people I knew from my time as an assistant youth minister at a southern baptist church, so it's been a bit, well, rough on there the past few weeks and today. I had to post something, and surprisingly many of the people who are generally a bit nutty responded well to it:

So this short time before the election, with both my Facebook and Twitter accounts full to the brim with political statements, I'd like to take a few minutes to recollect a point I made two years ago. This point came after the Rally For Sanity And/Or Fear, an admittedly more Dem-leaning event. Some of the funniest moments to come out of that event, apart from the comedian acts, were the signs. There were oh-so-many of them. Most were funny. Few were poignant. One stood out, to me, among the masses of them. It stated, "One of us, or perhaps both of us, may be correct."

This wasn't in reference to him agreeing with someone. It wasn't someone saying they were right and someone else was wrong. He was saying that while he may have a certain view he finds to be correct, the person next to him may have a totally different view that is correct as well. Sadly, I think it's what we've largely forgotten as a whole nation. We used to value each others differences and respect them. Now, differences are vile and dirty. Political discourse is now why someone else is wrong instead of seeing and understanding someone else's point of view while being able to adequately articulate your own.

I recall an article from a year or so ago, in which many people were criticizing John Boehner for going golfing with Obama. It's become so polarized that two grown men can't go golfing to discuss issues because a Republican cannot possibly hang out with a Democrat. What got us here? Sure, we come together in times of tragedy to work together, but why is that the only time? The politicians of old (and by old I mean 80s back) would go at each other until they were respectively red or blue in the face (see what I did there) then leave the hill to go to cookouts with each other, or to watch a football game, or whatever. We used to understand that sign I originally mentioned as a country, but we've now been driven to me seeing posts of "Moving to Canada if he is elected!" or "I don't think the country can take 4 more years of him!" Why?

Let's get one thing straight, we still have many more freedoms than most countries in the world. Freedoms that we are guaranteed by living in this great nation. Freedoms that are argued over the extent in which they go, or were originally "meant" to go by the founding fathers. I personally love having the bear arms I have a right to have (THAT'S THE JOKE.) But we used to be able to have these discussions like, well, adults, without overt jabs or subtle stabs at each other. There is a fantastic song by an artist named Chris Rice called, 'You Don't Have to Yell.' Of course now that I've mentioned a Christian artist, someone will inevitably accuse me of pushing a right-leaning point (thus completely validating this post! yay) but that's not the case. It's the lyrics that apply to everyone here:

Everybody take a breath
Why are all your faces red?
We're missing all the words you said
You don't have to yell
If everyone would take a step
Back away and count to ten
Clear your mind and start again
Then we won't have to yell
Draw your lines
And choose your sides
Cause many thing are worth the fight
But louder doesn't make you right

I just hope that we can get back to this, because honestly, it's the current behavior we have towards one another that the country can't take many more years of. Sure, we do a great job of coming together in times of national crisis, but we used to do it daily. I want to see that again. Less talking points, more critical thinking and open discussion. If you make point, back it up so that people can understand where you're coming from and why, so that they can have a discussion with you about it. If you don't want to discuss it, then you probably shouldn't post it on Facebook.
