Could be Bruse, never been called one (N**i) however... I do have a tendency to see life, politics & people pretty much as good & evil and today's Progressives in my mind are evil... Any ideology that is against the FREEDOMS I and my family members fought for is evil... The Terrorist are evil (beheadings "Jesus H. Christ", enough already, maybe we should k**l them all and let Allah sort the good and bad out! Just kidding, I think?), Putins evil, Hitler was evil as was Stalan and FDR support him, that makes FDR semi-evil in my book, N.Korea is evil, I could go on but I've given you enough to attack me some more, so have at you sanctimonious bore... Don D. :-) :(

Being of a some what sound mind, and I believe a Patriotic American from many generations of born and raised in America, and of many flavors, German Mexican, English & Irish, I have a Conservative mind and a Liberal heart I can't help but wonder who "Today's Progressives" (another name for Socialist, which is another name for Marxist, which is another name for C*******t, and all want a free United States to go away!) really think they're kidding??? I agree 100% with 'Sicilianthing' and disagree with 'Kennedy" nearly 110%... Don D.

I hope you weren't calling me ignorant about U.S. POLITICS & GOVERNMENT... I'm not, I was born at night that's the t***h, but not last night, pal... Don D.

Being new to this type of messaging, I have no idea what the "RULES" are... Like how long is to long a message, what is "tabo" and such... So a little advice would be good, thanks... I really don't want to intentionally step on anyones toes, I do by accident enough... Don D.

Roy... I've given up trying to please people, I know what I know and is it "piss's" some off, Oh Well... Don D.

I agree with almost all that has been stated thus far... Something happens to politicians when they get to "D.C.", I don't know if it's the water or something in the air, but they seem to forget who sent them there and why, Will Rogers was talking about this very thing back in the '20's & '30's, so I'm guessing this problem has been around for sometime... Anyway, why I'm writing is I was born in Oakland, CA some 71 years ago and the city I remember as a kid doesn't even look like it's from the same Planet... I Clipped this from one of those web pages, try it on for size and then remember, Welfare breeds contempt and hatred!

The Black Panther Party was founded by students Huey Newton and Bobby Seale at Merritt College (They were "gangsters"... D.D.). During the 1970s, Oakland began to experience serious problems with gang-controlled dealing of heroin and cocaine when drug kingpin Felix Mitchell created the nation's first large-scale operation of this kind. Both violent crime and property crime increased during this period, and Oakland's murder rate rose to twice that of San Francisco or New York City.[34]

As in many other American cities during the 1980s, crack cocaine became a serious problem in Oakland. Drug dealing in general, and the dealing of crack cocaine in particular, resulted in elevated rates of violent crime, causing Oakland to consistently be listed as one of America's most crime-ridden cities. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Oakland's black population reached its peak at approximately 47% of the overall population.

So, any city with a large minority population, living on Welfare is more than likely going to be violent...

Look at Detroit as was mentioned, Harlem & Surrounding neighborhoods, St. Lewis & East St. Lewis, Los Angeles, so there you go crime, drugs, welfare and hatred of "Whitey"...

Welcome to the Progressives America... Don D.

I fear you may be correct... It's really a crying shame that this happened to a Country that has been home for 71 years... I'm glade my parents aren't here to see what's happened to Country they sacrificed for and fought for in WWII... I'm kind of lucky, my race is almost won... Don D.

V**e all Non-Constitutionalist out of office at every e******n and in 12 years they all will be gone... Don D.

I'm new to this forum, have been reading you'll for a spell... As to this "D.C." problem we all seem to agree "It's Broken!"... I see two basic types of folks in "D.C.", the elected ones and they do as has been stated trying to get re-elected and pay back the folks who paid to get them elected... Then there is the BIGGER monster, The Bureaucrats, they are self perpetuating... This of all the "alphabet" agencies for a starter, then add all the cabinet post and then the agency we never or hardly ever hear about and that's the PROBLEM!!! Two main groups trying to please others and themselves all at the same time... I don't think this will ever happen, BUT if "We the People" could take control of the elected lawmakers and have them do our bidding for one term and only use The Constitution & Bill of Rights as guides to governing, maybe things would change!!! Don D.
