HARMONIC'S PROFILE

Volumes upon volumes of examples of liberal racism could be published if I had time. Perhaps someday. Twitchy.com often extracts and compiles twitter phrases. For instance, the "obama wins, fuck white people" one. Obviously Obama himself doesn't say that, but that's why I've said he's done nothing to help. It is not his job to "help black people." He's the president of every single American in the country, and is supposed to represent our *general* interests. Enough with the social engineering, and pandering to demographic groups.

That is a silly commercial, but as with most things, it's politics, and both sides make silly commercials.

actively encouraging the segregation of American citizens - even if he's only claiming those are his beliefs to win votes, his actions have consequences.

That is a good point, and I agree fully. Tell that to our current president too, please, for he has done absolutely nothing to heal the immense division between demographic groups.

Or in an ideal world, people will stop voting for a party because of which race they are.

Hint: Hispanics don't vote blue because of ethnicity. Mexican immigrants are generally socially conservative, so they are already primed to be won over by the GOP if it didn't take such a hard line on immigration.

You are correct in that hispanics have conservative social values. They have a very strong inclination toward a traditional family and catholicism. They also prefer having a job, rather than begging for free stuff.

The last big amnesty was a Republican one. My wife is a Peruvian immigrant (and a democrat voter) and she, as well as everyone in her family, and her friends, etc, all admit that any *practical* help for hispanic immigrants has come from Republican presidents. Democrats give lip service at best.

It's not like the Republicans have gone out of their way to alienate hispanics, and blacks, and arabs, and non-christians, and gays, and women. Those people only vote democrat because of a racial hivemind.

What was Romney's "merit?" If we're looking at his record as governor of MA, it's not so good...

Remove the sarcasm from your post and you're dead on. They haven't. We believe in the power of self-determination. Having your own money, not being dependent on the government. We believe in taking a hard line against societies around the world that douse their women in acid for dressing inappropriately. We believe in having the proper conditions that allow individuals to flourish by their own merits. We do not believe in telling demographic groups that they should feel victimized, and that they should hate white men and the rich. We do not believe in dividing people racially to serve our own political ends.

Romney's "merit"? I haven't researched Romney's record, but that's irrelevant. Wrong context. I meant that we judge by the content of character, not the color of skin. Much like the Southern Democrats who fought hard to maintain institutional racism in the 60's, the modern Democrats try to exacerbate this racism even further by turning Americans against each other.

You extrapolated an awful lot from my post. Kettle = black.

The funny thing is that Texas is becoming increasingly Hispanic and within two to three election cycles it's plausible that Texas could end up going to the Democrat column. I wonder if we'll finally start seeing some electoral reform around that time.

Or in an ideal world, people will stop voting for a party because of which race they are.

But as they say, can't compete with Santa Claus.

Obama's still got a platter of Bush's shit to sort out

Four years later, you're still blaming the former president for absolutely everything. There is no reason to coddle Mr. Obama. Mature adults take responsibility for their own actions, and what happens under their watch.

The danger in your attitude is obvious. You will always find a way to protect Obama from blame. You hold him in such high regard that in your eyes, he can do no wrong. Layoffs have already begun, and the market has already taken a big hit, (
http://money.cnn.com/2012/11/07/investing/stocks-markets/ ) based solely on the election results. Like a good little party-line tribalist, you are probably blaming Bush, or Europe, or the alignment of the stars. Anything that goes wrong during this lame duck term will undoubtedly be the Republicans/Hurricanes/Lochness Monster's fault.

That is antithetical to the American form of government, and to democracy itself. A government of checks and balances, complex components, universal representation (as opposed to tribal representation) cannot function when the people *prefer* and/or worship a monarch/cult of personality figurehead.
