You two are quick to castigate, but you don't refute a point he made.  Exactly. They can't argue with logic and truth, and everything above is the truth. As to my being a traitor, I have been called worse by better i assure you and since i don't respect their ill thought out opinion, their words have no strength. I just wonder what they did when they ere 20 years old. I went through OCS atr Fort Benning GA. I became an officer in the US military. I served for a dozen years. Do you think their words can hurt me or my feelings? Nope. Not going to happen.  Their ilk turns to insults and attack anyone they they disagree with. And, oddly, it is usually their ilk that plays the race card in support of their lack of logic.  If the Republicans ever grow up and stop elevating the race baiting to a debate with equals, and treat it for what it is, a desperate attempt to deflect blame, avoid responsibility, or otherwise try to avoid having to stay on subject, the Republicans will fare much better.  Recent case in point is when a building lied. That's right. That is the media's story for who lied.  "White House admits it was behind rumor that GOP leader told Obama 'I cannot even stand to look at you' during tense government shutdown meeting  By David Martosko, U.s. Political Editor  PUBLISHED:09:28 EST, 24 October 2013|UPDATED:15:11 EST, 24 October 2013  Senator Dick Durbin claimed that a senior Republican House member blew up at President Obama during tense government-shutdown talks The White House admitted Thursday that it was the source of a phony quote attributed to a top House Republican, who had allegedly told President Obama during a tense Oct. 10 meeting that 'I cannot even stand to look at you."  See? A building lied. It is never a person with these clowns. They get buildings to lie for them. They are the racists. They play the race card because they think our brown skinned friends are ignorant and will continue to believe their lies. However, I think the tide is changing and the minorities, including those with brown skin, are waking up and realizing that the Democratic machine has lied to them to get their vote.  In other words, the D party has bought the minority vote and now are defaulting on the payment for that vote. Just look at what is happening with unions in cities run by Democrats where politicians promised pay and retirement for votes and now can't deliver. Look at what is happening in Washington where politicians promised cheap health insurance and now the unwashed masses are seeing that the cheap insurance is costing far more than what they had. Just look at the desperation of jerks like Durbin that make up a story designed to enrage minorities so they will shun the other party and the story turns out to be just another lie.  Wake up you minorities. Your Democratic party has sold you out to buy your vote and what have you got to show in return other than no job, broken promises about benefits that are not going to materialize, lies about race because you are nothing more to them than a voting block that to them is so dumb, you will follow a liar to the grave.  No, I think times are a changing, and this is a good sort of change. Minorities as well as the rest of the country are waking up and asking questions. And this is good for the country.  When a president promises low cost, easy to obtain, government subsidized health insurance, to get elected and to sell his agenda, and the product turns out to be high cost, hard to get, not subsidized health insurance with higher deductibles, higher co-pays, higher costs, then people will wake up and start taking notice.  These are good times. Knowledge is power, and the Democratic left is finding it to be more difficult to pull the wool over the eyes of minorities for votes because those same minorities are smart enough to see what it is that is being shoveled. In the case above, Durbin is shoveling sh&t, but that is nothing new for this individual.  It all is coming home. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Jobs are our number one objective, people that oppose Obamma are racists, all of it. Lies, Lies, Lies. It is a party built on lies and that only works so long as those being lied to are ignorant enough to believe it. And they are waking up and ACA is going to be that wake up call. ACA is going to be the Democratic Party's worst nightmare.  Yes Hillary dear, Benghazi matters because you could not keep four Americans alive that you sent to that embassy. You sent them there. You were responsible for their security. You failed. Then you lied. Why the hell should we expect you to keep nearly 400 million people safe.  Yes Obama, it matters that when something goes wrong, there is someone to stand up and tell the truth and keep this country informed, not blame someone else, deflect, obscure the truth, and lie, lie, lie and then lie some more.  The IRS was out of line. NSA is out of line. The state department keeps screwing up. The roll out of ACA was totally screwed up and it cost hundreds of millions of our dollars. The project came in late, over budget, broken, not usable, and people do want to know who is responsible. After all, it is our money, not the government's money. The only money the government has is what it confiscates from the people so the people do care how it is spent.  When the government keeps taking more and more and spending it like this, it hurts the little guy the most. When you destroy discretionary income, you kill demand, and that kills jobs. So the very minorities that keep voting for these race baiting liars are the ones being hurt the most. They are the ones being forced into the ever growing safety net programs by the very programs that are taking more and more out of the peoples hands and causing more and more to fall into the net. This is an absolutely EVIL way to buy votes. Almost as bad as Durbin telling lies that amount to slander to keep the "dumb" minorities off the real issue which is why Democrats are destroying discretionary incomes, destroying demand, destroying jobs, and doing it in ever greater magnitude? Why? To get votes. Do they care about the country? No.  If they care, then why did the president allow the federal government to be shut down instead of having everything funded with a delay in ACA? He turned that down. He refused that offer. He shut the government down, and then, two weeks later ask for a delay in implementing ACA and then hit the road to change the subject to immigration. ACA is still a mess. It is not the web site, that is just a symptom. ACA is a train wreck becasue it does the opposite of what it promised and for the Democrats, that is going to be a lie that will be hard to keep quiet. The legislation is the problem. The legislation will put tens of thousands more into the safety nets. The Democrats are like fishermen. They put you in the net and then you are suppose to vote for them in exchange for insufficient funds to get out of the net. Why? Because they all don't give a rip about this great country and because the real race exploitation is in the DNA called the Democratic party.  The democratic party has become one giant community organizer that is trying to buy votes by taking from the working class and giving to the (by design) ever growing class in the safety net. It is all by design, and if the race baiting is ever seen for what it is, and for who it is that is doing it, the Democratic party is through. Done. It has become the party that survives on ignorance and lies and race baiting.  Ignorance that believes the lies is a vital link in the Democratic party surviving and that ignorance is evaporating as more and more, the truth about the effects of the Democratic legislation is coming to light. ACA had zero Republican votes. Democrats own this train wreck lock stock and barrel.  When that ignorance is removed, and it will be, there will be little Democratic party left standing. These are good times. I believe that minorities are finally realizing what has been done to them, what is being done to them, and who it is that is doing it to them. If that is the case, there is going to be a very different political landscape in the future.  A party built on lies will not survive forever.
