When Republicans Commit Crimes
"I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away." [more]

With regard to the title -- how does that fit?
Here's my half-assed attempt at a response to the page quote:
Here's my half-assed attempt at a response to the page quote:
>Liberals got women the right to vote.
And later stripped them of their honored place in society.
>Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote.
And then stripped them of their dignity.
>Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty.
Thus forsaking their children to poverty.
>Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act.
And turned it into class warfare.
>Liberals created Medicare.
And seek to make medical care unafordable for all.
>Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act.
And are trying to ensure that your children have no jobs.
>What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things – every one.
Let's all enjoy watching our children be selfish ****ed-up halfwits before they die.
>So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, ‘Liberal,’ as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won’t work, Senator, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor." -- Matt Santos, The West Wing
And thank a liberal.

did you know that in the US civil war, the south had regiments of black VOLUNTEERS fighting side by side with whites?
The north had made it illegal for blacks to join the armed forces, a law that remained in effect until they were needed to free up whites for the front lines in WW2, and no blacks were allowed to fight until after the war...
The north didn't abandon slavery (in fact didn't even start the process) until after the civil war.
The civil war was a war of agression by the north who didn't want the economically strong south (which brought in a lot of money to the federal government) to leave the union.
Slavery had nothing to do with it, that's a later leftist invention...
Did you know there are several active KKK members in congress right now, and all of them are "Democrats"?

Yes, so true.

This does not surprise me at all. I lived in the South (East Texas) while I was in University and I must say, although I am not accusing every American Southener of embracing such notions or ignorant ideals, the place was incredibly backwards, isolated, fearful of "outsiders", and sad. There literally were Confederate flags hanging on people's front porches. I was born a "Yankee" and thank God I am living back in the North.

The confederate flag has nothing to do with the KKK, racial hatred, or whatever except a sense of pride in one's own heritage as a southerner...
Of course the left doesn't understand this anymore, they've started to believe their own rewritten "history" about the south being an evil racist state that was brought into the light of the modern era by the north (led by the republican democratic party of the time).

It doesn't ?
Hmm... I have lived there, interacted with the people, worked with them and for them. I saw how both Blacks and Hispanics were treated openly, how they were considered, and how any sort of equality (in the case of American Blacks) was unequally distributed. No, it was not always obvious or blatant but it swam beneath the surface and at times reared its head.I am NOT stating that all people from the South are racict or that all people from the North are not-- hatred and bigotry know no boundaries such as statelines. What I am saying is that it seems by far that particular regions of the South (not the modern cities such as Dallas, Atlanta, Memphis, etc) exhibit standards that most U.S. States have abandoned decades ago.
The area of Texas I lived in at the time was one of THE largest cotton-producing regions in the U.S.-- not Georgia or Alabama as myth claims-- and this economy was fueled and upheld by the slave-trade directly (slaves transported via riverboats to this town, unloaded, and sold; the cotton then loaded and sent out for sale. This is a fact). I have heard direct descendants of slave-owners and plantation operators state that they "sure lost money" when slavery ended and that "it was a sad day." (for the White plantation owners). These are the same people displaying Confederate flags on the porches of their million-dollar homes and sporting Conferate flag stickers on their Humvees.
Your conclusion, in the greater part, is incorrect.

No, it is NOT incorrect.
The flag has nothing to do at all with the KKK, which exists everywhere equally.
It also has little to do with slavery and racism (certainly traditionally) as both existed equally in north and south (and still do).
If the south had more slaves per citizen that was because 1) there was more labour intensive unskilled work to be done and 2) the population density in the north was far higher.
The attitudes of the people towards their slaves were no different (if anything, house slaves in the south were likely better off than many of their opposites in the north).
The left claims that the north attacked the south to abolish slavery there, which is completely bogus.
The north had slavery until well after the civil war, the war was purely a war of agression against a group of states that had decided to leave the union (which was their right, as every state has that right).
Racism is rife everywhere, and is fueled by the leftist policies of "equal opportunities", "affirmative action", or as we call it here "positive discrimination".
Such policies make that minorities get hired based not on merits but skin colour, causing tension in companies where they are viewed suspiciously (did he earn his right to that job or was he born into it) and especially among the jobless who feel they are passed over by someone else simply because they're white (it happens, we've a law here requiring companies to hire something like 10% blacks, on a population that's 5% black...).
Leftist lawyers and lawmakers demanding "reparations" to people just because others of the same skin colour were once slaves also causes massive resentment towards blacks for beeing leeches on society, as does in the US special treatment of American Indians (I refuse to use the PC term "native Americans" because they're just as native as anyone born there).
If people in the southern states are more cautious in their dealing with Latinos that's mainly because there's a far larger share of criminal Latinos there, fed in large part by illegal immigration from Mexico.
Take those illegals (the vast majority of them ending up in crime, even if you discount their crime of entering the country without paperwork and defrauding the state by using false or stolen papers to get social services, healthcare, sometimes jobs, and education) away and that problem goes away as well.
If you have been mugged by Mexicans twice in the last year you're going to be suspicious of any Latino you see walking around as well (especially if he looks like a gang member, as many youths do and the vast majority of illegals are young).
And thus it is everywhere. If you go to the northeast there's a large Italian influence in crime still, so people of Italian descent are viewed with suspicion.
But noone calls that racism because they're white.
In California it's Chinese, and so every part of the country has its criminal element concentrated around a population group.
Remember also that Latinos in any definition but the one used in the US are white as well...

You have said alot and nothing at the same time.
Have you lived in the United States? The Southern United States? I assume not. Your arguments are the very same spouted by the Rightests of my nation and, oh, of yours as well.
I know about Latinos, by the way. I live in a Spanish neighborhood and my girlfriend is Hispanic (Cuban). She IS legally here. As to the illegal Mexicans and their high crime rates you speak of-- what do you know about this? Did you pick up these "statistics" on FOX news?
I am a Conservative but not a Republican anymore. I have worked for the Republican party and I have seen the inside. It is not quite what they publish of themselves in popular media outlets. It is not pretty. I am no longer a Republican. I am ashamed that I ever was.
I will not discuss this further. You are misinformed, heated, and simply regurgitating the common, Rightest venom so typical of Nationalists worldwide.
