Debate away..fact is....no matter what, some kind of HC is going to be passed sooner then later....whether be the Dems or the GOP
BTW Poorboy, just as a point in passing - I would have thought that as a former L.E.O. (it is you that is the former undercover narcotics officer, correct - or have I got you mixed up with someone else ?), that it probably would have been common knowledge and S.O.P. within the law enforcement community not to inform the potential target of a possible criminal investigation that you were going to contact the authorities about them breaking the law .... dunno ...... mebbe I'm missing something here ......
Of course, "Tomorrow Morning I'm Going to Make a Few Phone Calls, Even though It won't do any Good!!!!" is a rather apathetic state of mind .... so I guess I do understand .....
OK now this is getting too silly.
First thing I got to say is that the word Racist is over used and not used here the right way. The word many should use is bigot.
In order for it to be considered racist, there has to be an implied attitude that the person who is making the comment feels superior to the subject at hand. On the other hand in order for the comment to be a bigoted comment, there has to be some derogatory remark made towards the subject.
But with that said Poorboy's comment about the Middle Eastern people is neither racist or bigoted but honest assessment of the people who own the store. He didn't say anything beyond describing the people in a manner that is about as neutral as one can get, hence no derogatory comment was made about Middle Eastern people nor was there an aire of superiority involved which would make it a racist comment.
A good illustration would be this 'those people can't think for themselves so they need us to help them'
This is both a bigoted and racist comment and is used by many of the democrats in power and those who vote for them. Seeing that they beleive that people are incapable to deal with life in general, most of the time based on race, makes it out as a comment from a superior person about someone they consider sub-human.
So let's recap -
Poorboy = comment about middle eastern people describes the people owning the store - so not racist or bigoted.
Vice President Joe Biden = comment about Indian people being great at running 7-11s - is racist and bigoted at the same time due to the fact that many of them are doctors, lawyers, researchers and other high level thinkers.
Wow - is that what it's been ?We don't fight drugs. We run a feel good program pretending to fight drugs.
Yeah ..... ya might wanna tell that to Stephen Dozier - who, after being convicted on three occasions of purse-snatching to feed his crack-cocaine habit, was sentenced to mandatory life in prison without parole. (Three Strikes Law)Our programs have never been more than the mommy repeatedly saying "don't do that sweetie".
Well, I really wouldn't know - since I'm not a liberal ..... but it certainly does say an awful lot about how little you value human life.I'm sure the thought of executing 3 time felon drug dealers is apoplectic to a liberal though.
Why am I not surprised ....I'm Standing on what I Said!!
Yeah .... they no doubt are ...... just not from that Middle East ...You Can put out All of the Rhetoric you want But as Far as I am Concerned they Were/Are from the Middle East
Heavens no ..... why bother to do something to inform oneself of relevant data ?I am Not about to Get out any Atlas to See Just where Pakistan is,
That's right - I did.You Yourself said that at One time Pakistan was considered in the Middle East!
Well, of course not - stereotyping - and those who practice it - rarely care about actual facts.And I Really don't give a Fat Babies Butt Where it is!!
Happy to provide a little entertainmentNow You Can "Nit Pik" What I said All You want Because I Find it Quite Humorous But I'm Standing with what I Said!! Soooo Have at it
Guess he never heard of Alan KeyesJoe Biden referred to Barack Obama by saying, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate, and bright, and clean, and a nice-looking guy."
No, you really can't ...... and we just keep on electing 'em ......You can't make this stuff up.
Well, it wouldn't be the first time ...Yes it is me, But like I said before--I am Retired and as Far as S.O.P. You are Partially Correct But Not 100% ..
Good - and well done !However, I chose to tell them what My Intentions were It's Not like it's a Top Secret Thing Here, and This Morning I will be going to do what I Have to do!
On this we would be in agreement.I Don't know about you, But I am Tired of My Tax Dollars Being Misused by People who Just Think of the All Mighty Buck and The One's who Have the Free Handout Using (My/Our) Money to Buy things That they are Not supposed to be able to do!!
I'd imagine I am ..... at any rate, it will help keep you sharp (the raggin' that is)So You can Try and Berate me all you want But your singing to the Choir when it comes to this!!
