Amen Southern Tide-Sowell said it was Obama's fault for not paying the ransom to the terrorists who LOST the election. Give me a break-you give in to terrorists demands and they just want more. If Obama gave into the baggers, that would be the way government would "work" from that point on-get a safe seat by gerrymandering the district, threaten to shut down the government if mommy does not give you exactly what YOU want, instead of what the voters want.

Government by tantrum.

I spoke to specific symbolism related to the American confederacy from the mid 19th century in this thesis. I do agree that there are numerous instances where people in authority have used power to enact brutality. My heritage includes not only African ancestry, but also Lakota.

Perhaps you should seek another's opinion for a comparative response related to subjugation of nations. My belief is that oppression is just that, and that there is no hierarchy of oppression

Then your views regarding the oppression the North subjugated the South under, should be the same. The symbols of the Confederacy and their common subjugation is all that links them together. They have no common "race" that unites them like the Lakota, Sioux, or Cherokee. It was other "whites" who subjugated them upon their defeat, they only have a Confederate flag and a lost cause.

For you to demand they forget their "loser" heritage, while holding up your own "loser" heritage, is hypocrisy. Also highly unlikely to effect any advantageous change.

I am not even going to justify this comment with a detailed response. But I will ask, what hypocrisy was written in my original thread comment about confederate symbolism?

Where is your proof? Surely you have something other than your word to prove what you say.

The proof was the note above the video that said "EDITED VIDEO". It was a joke, you can read it right there. You did not get it. Obama, if he was not "no drama Obama" surely would have been pissed enough about the 28 billion the tea bagger tantrum took about of the economy for NO GOOD REASON, would have wanted to kick in a door. He did not.

A definitive reason for "tea party" hysteria is found in the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

It defines delusions as "fixed beliefs that are not amenable to change in the light of conflicting evidence. This clearly applies to completely out-of-touch-with-reality "tea party" legislators like Cruz. To the basic diagnosis you can add this specifier - "multiple episodes, currently in an acute episode. This delusional mental deficiency has these character anomalies (take your pick): grandiose, where they believe they are smarter than everybody else in the world; or persecutory where they believe anyone who disagrees with them is in a conspiracy against them, in this case led by by who they call "that black-sum-a-b*tch-socialist-muslim-Kenyan-communist-marxist (and more vile terms)" President Barack Obama - (HA!).

It is a living oxymoron for them to oppose the Affordable Care Act, with it these sociopaths can afford to get very much needed psychiatric treatment.

There was a time when there was some vary good and smart men in the GOP, A lot fewer now.All the name calling [as my school teacher mom would say] proves nothing.Just that the caller is low class and of poor breeding.I think of my self as conservative but I think Obama is a good family man born in the USA.I saw a lot of good men die, Some Demos, some Rapub's some Libs, some conser.s all Americans.We should want whats best for the country. The more ideas the better.At one time the left had the nut job's now the right has.But a nut job is a nut job. And name calling proves nothing.

Thank you for exhibiting, your "low class" and "poor breeding." Whatever the Hell, the concepts of class and breeding have to do with a person's discourse... However, the difference between genius and insanity is whether it works.

This was a very rational statement. The response you got previously was not.

There are institutions for people who allow their delusions to overtake their ability to function as productive members of society, and have become a menace to society...

A circulated letter to shutdown the government amongst the Republicans got 80 signatures. Cruz lobbied the House for a shutdown. Even if this was a brilliant manipulative move by Democrat startegists, autonomous beings made the decision, either knowing the true cost to our economy or not--but it was something that is their job to consider. 24.6 billion lost to the economy: for what? A gesture of high dysfunction!
