the brand of Hispanic that goes to
I know nothing of "that goes to" but I know of many "Californians" with Mexican ancestry, as i have known many of Italian, German, Japanese, Russian, Korean and other ancestry. I known them since they lived on the same block, gone to the same church, same schools, made friendships through out our lives. We are not the liberals some on the left paint us as being.
I used that phrase because it came from a Hispanic guy who was working two and three jobs to put his academically talented kid through Jesuit Academy, which is probably the best Catholic HS in that area.
That isn't a politically correct area down there and I'm not a politically correct person...not gonna be, either.

"politically correct" a foreign concept imported from the East Coast... puke!
Thomas, just because you keep giving stupid answers doesn't mean you're winning this thread.
Scagnetti, I think you could probably do with having a bit more white guy guilt.
This was a troll post.

We (Californians) dont need your liberal agenda nonsense. We were doing just fine before you came here.
Thank you for visiting our state and have a safe ride back home.
State sponsored racism is still racism. Double standards, alive and well in the liberal "brain".
University of California, Berkley Cookie Sale:
Cookies $1.50
If you're American Indian $1.25
If you're Mexican American $1.00
If you're African American 50 cents
If you're an illegal alien, we pay you $1.19 for each cookie you can eat.
Liberal thinking, dumb and dummerer.
"The productive class resigns itself to being tethered to a permenant milestone of egregious taxation and inflation in support of the consumption class of bureaucrats and the entitled,
OR
There is a financial civil war and revolt by the productive class, and economic default on the obligation to support the non-productive classes (politicians and those infected by the entitlement disease)".
Daxton Brown: Preparing for Economic, Social, and Political Collapse
It is impossible to overcome the growing size of entitlements, except through default by the productive class. Liberalism is the cause of the disease.
The leviathan State is demanding more and more tax revenue from a smaller and smaller group of producers. It cannot continue on this way. Collapse is imminent, the real question is when.
Problem is...those angry white people are very much in the drivers seat in swing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.
True that.
I think, demographically, we're in for a big shakeup vis a vis the two major parties.
Obviously the angry old white people will begin to die off. Replacing them is lots of new immigrants from south of the border. Poor, but socially conservative.
So the Republicans may have to get more "liberal" on economic issues to woo them. And the Democrats may have to get more "conservative" on social issues like abortion and gay marriage.
I think all of that would be a good thing.
Oh yeah, big government with conservative social policy. We get to be just like China!

As if you know anything about the "productive class".

Ah, yes, the "leviathan State" is clearly demanding more and more tax revenue. Why, the federal government has increased taxes by an average of negative 12% over the last 15 years!

people who are mad as hell and are not going to remain silent any longer.
When were you silent?
I was silent when both the repub's and demo crats were busy destroying America's freedoms.
Nomo, you are obviously radically unaware of whats going on in America. Hope you get better soon. Try reading some good books, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Todays book recommendation: Capitalism & Freedom, by Milton Friedman.
PS I know you're a hater of Capitalism (well, at least your comments indicate you hate freedom) so just think of "Free Enterprise" when you see the word capitalism. It might help make your mind right. You don't hate Free Enterprise, do you?

Abe, at the end of the day there are far more of us than there are of him. This is why his type uses emotion and the heat of the moment as leverage to get what they want done.
As evidenced by the number of years Republicans v. Democrats have served in the White House since World War II, sometimes they get a few things they want. Most of the time, they do not. Most of the time we shove our foot up their ass and end up laughing about how screwy and unfocused they are, over a few beers.

Kevin, why not try a little common sense...like cause and effect. Government raises budget BY $3.5 TRILLION DOLLARS, again -(cause) - tax increases to follow (effect). Well duhhhhaaa. My guess is that you are either unaware of the negative consequences of bad political decisions - or - you support them. Which do you think it is??
And why would you ASS ume that I know nothing about the productive class.
After all the ONLY people who care about government waste, fraud, mismanagement, corruption, trampling the constitution, over-reaching laws, constraint of the people, over-regulation and trying to micromanage every aspect of our business and personal life are the people in the productive class, who pay federal income tax - people like me - people who are mad as hell and are not going to remain silent any longer.

@root
Don't know if you saw the latest poll results in the swing states. It appears that there aren't as many of "you" as you thought...
Tapout 70,
Rootvg was referring to the NUMBER of indibiduals who are NOT liberals, not the delegate count or the latest poll results.
Screwy liberals make up less than 30% of the America population (thank god), according to Aurthur Brooks, author of todays book recommendation: THE BATTLE, How the Fight Between FREE ENTERPRISE and BIG GOVERNMENT Will Shape America's Future.

Right...it looks like the healthcare bill is going down, Republicans may gain as many as ten seats in the Senate and hold their current position in the House.
But Obama is going to win again? That doesn't make sense.
We're going back to normalcy. All the signs are there.

Don't worry--I have no desire to sexually assault your brain. Just wanted to show you that you are very wrong. And that the swing states are NOT leaning towards Romney.

Do you truly believe Obama can win Ohio and Florida?
Do you honestly believe the election will come down to anything other than the unpopularity of Obamacare, unemployment and gas prices?
Are you serious?

Did you see the poll results?
Have you seen the favorable/unfavorable splits on Romney lately?
You do realize that Obama won't be running against an "anonymous" Republican, right?

I don't know what you do for a living but you don't know shit about American politics.
I suspect the real issue is that you don't know what normalcy looks like.
What we have right now sure as hell isn't normal and I worry about what the next recession will look like (gonna happen, everyone's talking about it) but after that, we'll start getting back there again. We'll NEVER get there under this guy because there are too many people who don't want his vision and the vision of people allied with him to become the standard. Over and over again, I keep telling you this isn't the United States of Europe.

See--there's your problem. You see things a certain way and assume everyone else must agree. You don't like Obama. Fine--that's certainly your right. Don't vote for him next election.
What I'm doing is showing you that the majority of people in the swing states feel differently than you. Therefore Obama is going to win.
Deal with it.

Straight white males between the ages of 18 and 54. As far as I can tell, this is the only group of Americans that can not form a group to promote themselves or their own advancement within American society. Am I wrong?
