Inga, I paid into Social Security. That was the law. You don’t know what I do with that money. I was forced on Medicare when I turned 65, that was not a choice, it is the law. I still pay monthly for Medicare, but I pay for better insurance on my own
Ingra, it happened. Millions of Americans died fighting for what they believed in. Thankfully the North won. If the South had won, where would we be today?
Sandi has said she collects Social Securiry and is on Medicare. I suggest she refuses the funds and the healthcare to stand on her principle, like Ayn Rand, did………. not do.
I don’t watch CNN. If an employee of theirs did that she should be fired and the lady should get a very big apology. I bet the CNN woman didn’t do that at the Democrats convention.
Yes, we all know how well the native population has been treated through our country’s history by our government and by the “white man.”
Elaine – we also know how well the Indians treated the “white man” over the years. Here in Arizona we have to add the “black man” since after the Civil War the Buffalo Soldiers came to Arizona to fight Apaches.
Sandi thinks only Republicans worked hard, saved and were succesful? Amazingly ‘insightful’ comment.
Inga:
No, Sandi thinks you shouldn’t care about black people at all.
Hey Sandi, ever got a FHA loan, collected social security, took out a student loan, got a bill paid by Medicare or took a mortgage interest deduction? If so, you’re a welfare queen.
From the Seattle Times:
“Every year, he says, Uncle Sam provides an average of $5,690 worth of entitlements to households earning more than $100,000 – which is slightly more than it gives to households under $10,000.”
Not quite the bootstrapper you thought you were, eh, Sandi?
mespo – I have paid into Social Security since I was 12 years old. They are finally paying back what I put in. It is hardly welfare.
Sandi thinks one must be black to care about what black people? Huh?

Sandi,
You brought the subject of scalping up. Were you trying to “feed anger?”
Inga:
Repubs love history and tradition until it bites them in the buttarski.
Yes, people who want them to have lives like us. Most of us worked hard, saved, invested, and never asked government for a thing. Except my husband’s college, which he repaid with 4 years on a nuclear sub.
Inga, I didn’t know you were black.
raff:
Yes, let’s pretend it never happened.
Elaine M., that was all over 200 years ago. Talking about it now helps no one. It just feeds anger.
Sandi:
“Stop voting for Democrats! They are not your friends …”
****************
Yep, the Republicans are.
“[T]his location is dominated by African-American shoppers and it is near several large African-American mega churches such as New Birth Missionary Baptist… Is it possible church buses will be used to transport people directly to the mall since the poll will open when the mall opens? If this happens, so much for the accepted principle of separation of church and state.” Fran Miller (R-Ga)
“DOJ’s accusations of racial discrimination are baseless. In 2011, both houses of the Texas Legislature were controlled by large Republican majorities, and their redistricting decisions were designed to increase the Republican Party’s electoral prospects at the expense of the Democrats. It is perfectly constitutional for a Republican-controlled legislature to make partisan districting decisions, even if there are incidental effects on minority voters who support Democratic candidates.” Texas Republican AG Greg Abbott
“if it hurts a bunch of lazy blacks that want the government to give them everything, so be it.” Don Yelton, Republican precinct chairman
“I hear you loud and clear, Barack Obama. You don’t represent the country that I grew up with. And your values is [sic] not going to save us. We’re going to take this country back for the Lord. We’re going to try to take this country back for conservatism. And we’re not going to allow minorities to run roughshod over what you people believe in!” Jason Rapert (R) Arkansas Senator
““My party, unfortunately, is the bastion of those people, not all of them, but most of them, who are still basing their decision on race. Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists. And the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin. And that’s despicable.” Col Lawrence Wilkinson, Republican. Former Chef of Staff to Gen. Colin Powell
“… If slavery were so God-awful, why didn’t Jesus or Paul condemn it, why was it in the Constitution and why wasn’t there a war before 1861?
The South has always stood by the Constitution and limited government. When one attacks the Confederate Battle Flag, he is certainly denouncing these principles of government as well as Christianity.” Loy Mauch, Republican member of the Arkansas House
An attendee at the Republican National Convention allegedly threw nuts at a black camerawoman working for CNN while saying “this is how we feed animals.”
Yep, African-Americans have no idea who their real friends are. LOL
Happy, Indiands are making millions of dollars with their casinos. Why aren’t the unemployed Indians working there? They don’t want to. That would mean they were no longer victims. They could earn a decent living, but they don’t want to leave the reservation. But some smartened up and are millionaires. From casinos full of white people. And they keep building more. Anybody can get on the Internet to find where casino jobs are. They take money from white people every day. Why wouldn’t Indians and Blacks not want to be a part of that?
Sandi
About the Indians and the Casinos – that’s what I’m sayin-there are links a plenty in Lansing offering jobs for the Indians if they want them. I was saying to Po I did not feel sorry for myself as he accused me of looking for sympathy. lololol.
Po – when I use myself as an example – I am not looking for sympathy – I am using myself as an example to show you don’t need to stay on the reservation. There are links a plenty for those Indians to help themselves to full scholarships if they can trace ancestry
Your straw man arguments are forgiven though.
Vast.
Fox Derangement Syndrome. The truth according to Fox and Sandi, who knows what’s best for us, our children and our grandchildren, based on her cast life experience with IBM and too much time watching Fox and listening to Limpbog.
Inga – About the Native Americans and the Mistreatment (why does everyone always take me serious on here when I act like I don’t research lol) Have they ever looked to California and the Missions, Sutters Mill and Wounded Knee?
This is a cool link and it is how I learned World History – If you have time tell me what you think
