So Steve King was removed from his Committee assignments. Big deal.

[guillaumeb]

The only reason that the GOP leaders removed King was because King cannot nominate and appoint Judges to the Appellate Courts and to the SCOTUS.

The only reason.

So the racists who run the GOP, and the racists who voted for Trump and other GOP candidates can show this as "proof" that they are not racists.

But if the GOP racists were really concerned about racism, and ethics, and the law, they would push for Trump's impeachment.


This is white washing in every sense of the term.

1. True. Here is how simple American politics are:

There is not one issue, not one stance, not one part of their agenda in the republican party that helps, in anyway, any American who is not very very well off financially.

Not one.

Nowhere, none.

Therefore, the vast majority of their supporters must be racists. Homophobes. Period.

BTW I have a little challenge, there is NOT ONE issue where left and right disagree and right is right and I can prove it.

[guillaumeb]

2. A challenging claim.

Please elaborate.

And for the record, I am not claiming that every single GOP is a racist. But they gladly voted for one.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Pick any issue where the two sides do not agree and in every case I will prove why the

left is right.

This is secondary to the race issue, this is about policy or overall belief.

[guillaumeb]

4. Tax cuts for the rich? No, not that one.

Trash the environment to help Big Oil? No, not that one.

Your challenge should be a separate post.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Tried it before but this is the wrong place, no rightys or should not be anyway.

Abortion, oops, your (cons) position is based NOT in science but religion and make believe people in the sky. (no disrespect meant for our religious board members)

It is a stunning result when you look at it.

Not one issue, not one. And the vast majority of the issues on the right overtly harm them.

[guillaumeb]

6. Yes, they are harmed by what they vote for.

My personal view on abortion is that I am personally pro-life, and also pro-choice. Every woman should be free to make her own choice regarding her own body. And abortion should be covered for everyone by insurance or Medicaid.

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. If one is a woman one could have a position. I dont know you.

But were a man to say what you said (just making a point, not starting an argument) it would be similar to saying you are against insulin or something like that.

How can a woman be anti vasectomy, for instance?

[guillaumeb]

9. My view is that the choice is not mine to make.

Nor should it be.

A woman might be philosophically opposed to a vasectomy because it would remove the ability to father a child.

[Cirque du So-What]

7. I wouldn't bet against your assertion

because I know it is correct.

10. sacrificed on the altar of lip service

[guillaumeb]

11. Agreed.

By the nearly official Party of racism and racists.

[tulipsandroses]

12. Agreed. I'm more concerned with how white supremacy affects policy- I don't give a damn about

name calling and words unless they have an effect on policy.

[guillaumeb]

13. My view, often expressed here,

is that capitalists use many things to divide workers. race, religion, color, language, gender, and ethnicity are all used to artificially divide people.

The goal is to weaken the 99%.
