Mike thats not a conservative thats a bigot . I have a-- hats like that next door my kid is biracial I had to adjust thier attitude. Conservatism has no color its a concept. and values. That was an example of a lack of values | ||

Are you suggesting that might, just might, be a "code word"? A "dog whistle"? Perhaps something less abstract than Chris Mathews gets all tingly over? Could be. Oldog, I await a definition for that one, myself. Locally it's a racist term. On another topic, I wonder if Mitt will tax me for breathing like Obama wants to? Does Mitt support the religious tax on CO2? It would be nice to know before I go to court for not paying my Carbon Tax. | ||

This could be the very FIRST election i vote OUTSIDE my party and vote Democrat.First time ever i'm thinking of voting that way.NEVER have so far. | ||

Please stop equating conservative with "bigot". The primary source of bigotry both today and historically is the progressive / Democratic party. They have played both sides of the bigotry fence (the KKK and the party of Al Sharpton) but it's still bigotry. I've done a number of trips with Jim (OlDog), and if he is a bigot, he did a heck of a job of hiding it from me. Around here, the term "porch monkeys" carries racist overtones as well. As does "white trash", "redneck", and "hillbilly". The terms makes me uncomfortable, so I stick to listening to the context they are used in to decide if the statements are racist. | ||

Reep, My bestest friend and in fact almost all my friends are hillbillies. I even have a friends who identify themselves as Tattooed White Trash. Am I bigot? Please tell me I'm just another hick from the sticks. All this PC shite is too much for me.  (Message edited by jb2 on September 05, 2012) | ||

Mike thats not a conservative thats a bigot . I have a-- hats like that next door my kid is biracial I had to adjust thier attitude. Conservatism has no color its a concept. and values. That was an example of a lack of values YOU PRESUME THAT THE REMARK IS RACIAL One example of a "porch monkey", In the debit ceiling debate, a rep from California is hand wringing about a botanical gardens funding getting cut in the budget cuts "its a national treasure" this guy whines said rep was WHITE, the guy was clueless when You cant buy groceries you don't buy flowers to put in the yard. BTW I WATCHED THIS LIVE ON C-SPAN You chose to read a racial value into what I said. so I will re state >> there are lazy morons on the hill, put there by folks who want a hand out this has nothing to do with color race or ethnicity. Its greed and lack of work ethic, BTW the Democrats are the Founders of the KKK. | ||

" Porch Monkey " is racial? I have heard children and IDIOTS " referred to with that term, also " Stump Monkeys " | ||

Well after a trip to the urban dictionary I find that it has several meanings and there is a racial component. My Apologies Ken, and any one else that took it that way. I missed that, the definition also pertains to folks who sit on the porch and watch goings on. Lazy people and Children who like to be on the porch. I don't like the Sitting President for a variety of reasons. his race is not one of them. | ||
| Sifo |
Here's what the Urban Dictionary says about "porch monkey"... A derogatory for a person of african or african american decent. BUT it could also mean a generally lazy person. Could go either way. Given the way Oldog used the term, referring to a group of congressmen, I'm willing to take him at his word when he says he meant lazy people. Unless the word congress is now a racial slur...

This is nothing new. Buellnmke is obsessed with race as well as lashing out at Badweb members and spouses of Badweb members. Look up his postings using the Badweb Search function and you will be regaled with his wonderful musings. My advice is to ignore his mutterings. He is trying to hijack this thread which is a discussion about R&R, not Oldog. | ||
| Reindog |
My sentiments exactly. | ||
| Oldog |
Unless the work congress is now a racial slur.. Congress ( the senate ) works? ( could they be porch monkeys? ) several budgets sent to the senate only to be stuck in Harry Reid's Desk yeah the progressive democratic party at work creating innovative solutions for the nation and its people. ( insert sarcastic icon here ) } | ||
| Sifo |
You grabbed my typo pretty quick Oldog. I meant "word" not "work". May have been a Freudian kind of a slip on my part. | ||

Sorry Rein, Ken was who I was rebutting as I was called a Bigot, and as I found the term has a racial overtone, I should have chosen my words more carefully. I had no Idea that he had children of mixed race, or that he would be offended the sad thing is that the lefties use race all the time to divide the people, with the jacksons, sharptons, and others playing into that. The death of a teen age boy in florida had the black community up in arms, the real questions got missed, and I bet that Zimmerman walks unless Florida makes some evidence. I support RR because with the nations debit and economy, My grand children, your grand children, Kens grand children will wind up indentured servants of the government if things are not changed. I am awe struck in that I am no scholar of history but In most of our life times we have seen the fall of the Soviet Union. The huge government became as Obama wants us to have, and along the line the Russians had more government than producers, and the system imploded. | ||

Well and in my experience and it may be limited being republican does not make one racist however most racists i know are republican. | ||
| Drkside79 |
Now as I too have misspoken before. I apologize to Oldog assuming what he say is true and it was not meant as a slur. | ||
| Reindog |
Andy, nice stereotyping dude. I grew up next to old school,N-word slinging fools. ALL Democrats. I would not have made the "observation" that you just made because I know that Fools don't belong to a single Party...or race. You are a good guy but you have been tripping over yourself multiple times in the past day. Your statement is patently offensive and the underlying implications are just plain false. Get a grip. | ||

DucX1, Did you watch the speeches of Mia Love, Artur Davis, and Susana Martinez at the RNC? What did you think about these old, white fossils who represent the future of the Republican Party? Pretty "funny" that MSNBC "conveniently" did not telecast them nor even mention their existence. (Message edited by reindog on September 05, 2012) | ||

Mia Love rocks: | ||

I just watched that entire Mia Love video . . .I was her speech and seeing it again was a pleasure. The reawakening of the American Dream is in the hands of people like her. An amazing, woman, runner, Mother and person. Watch closely and you'll understand what made America great. | ||

I think it was a 19th Century American Statesman named Choates who said, about the time of the Civil War, that, "We are all free, but some are more equal than others." He was talking about capabilities, not skin tones. | ||

It just goes to show you that our we;fare system is hurting more poor folks than helping (making them depend on others and not on them selves) |
