Just a had a little girl last week buddy. No matter what you think of my political beliefs, getting that personal was not appropriate. Just because someone doesn't agree with your right-wing BS does not mean you should make personal attacks like that. You keeping making $40k a year and voting Republican ... idiot.

I think you have some anger issues. You might want to look into that

Let's switch directions a bit: Rubio sinks or swims tonight? I lean towards swim because Christie won't be there to go after him.

Well the difference in this case is she ran for that position to uphold the law, while refusing to uphold a law that she believes is unethical. I admire Ms. Davis and her ethical stance; that takes courage but not like Ali's courage, imo. Ali was drafted against his will to fight in what he viewed as an unethical war and would be imprisoned if he refused. Apples and oranges.

At least no young person got their legs blown off, or went home in a body bag while taking her place.

That's not fair. You know, because African-Americans were and still are a minority race in the United States. Thus, 10-15% casualties seems low from an overall perspective but in comparison to the ethnic groups total of makeup of the US population, it was a very large percentage.

Regardless of how one feels about the rhetoric of the Nation of Islam, which is absolutely racist and you won't find me in disagreement here, Ali gave up his prime and millions of dollars to possibly go to prison for something he believed in. Ethically, that makes him a hero.

From 1960-1970 African American made up 10-11% of the population which is in the range you claimed as "disproportionate"

How can this be that confusing. If the AA population was 10-11% during that time then they were categorized as a minority population. 10-15% of the total number of deaths in Vietnam were black, which is a much higher percentage of their total population in comparison to whites. Therefore, Ali was standing up for the injustice that was many black soldiers coming home in body bags in comparison to their ethnicity's ratio to the total US population.

The guy told me I shouldn't procreate. How would you feel about that?

It doesn't matter how I "feel" about it. I couldn't care less if you procreate. I just hope your children are smarter than you, and that you can afford to raise them without my help. However, you are a liberal, so I am sure you "feel" it is my obligation to help you. Don't worry though, I will pay my property taxes so that she can go to public school... free of charge, naturally... And I will subsidize your health insurance and since you have children, I will pay a larger than my "fair" share of taxation because even though it is YOU that is placing a larger burden on the infrastructure... you know, things like sanitation, roads, schools etc... I must pay a larger percentage of my earnings in taxation so that YOUR kids can have all those things. Meanwhile you get a deduction. How do you "feel" about that? A simple thank you will suffice, but I am pretty sure the first word that leaps to your bigoted little mind is not "thank".

The actual rate of black deaths was VERY close to their actual percentage of the population. Blacks-7,243 dead, Whites-49,830 dead. Total dead 58,220. Hispanics, Asians, Indians etc made up the other 1,000+.

Black dead was less than 12.5 % of the total dead, and about 11% of the population at the time. It looks to me like whites are over represented in the dead figures.

Yep..... You're a liberal alright. It's a dead giveaway when one gets all butt hurt over a harmless comment.

This is how we profile in the political forum.....

Telling someone they shouldn't procreate is "harmless" huh? Same mentality that causes 90+% of minorities to vote democrat.

I'll match education levels and intellect with you any day pal. And I guarantee you that I pay a lot more in taxes than you do. However, just because I do well does not mean that I do not recognize the fact that there are other less fortunate people and that all of them are not "freeloaders". It is also the ultimate irony for you to call me "bigoted" when your party almost entirely consists of middle-aged and old white males. There is a reason over 90% of minorities vote Democrat.

The country doesn't need anyone like you. Hopefully your daughter can think for herself, and unlike her father, grow up to be an intelligent, productive member of society who respects people rights to self-defense.

Hopefully, my daughter won't grow up to be like you and will recognize that there are a lot of less fortunate people out there who are not "freeloaders" and just need a chance. Hopefully, my daughter won't bury her head in the sand and pretend that everyone gets an equal chance and hopefully she will repsect EVERYONE'S rights not just the rights of rich, white people.
