Sounds like a thriving metropolis compared to where I'm from. I never even saw a black person till I was in my teens and never actually talked to one till I was in university.

Oh, right, that's what you're fascist hero Reagan did... turned the mental patients into the street.
You're beyond ignorant. You're evil, boy.
You filthy sociopathic bastard.
Reagan turned all those people onto the streets? Last I checked, there are those who dare anyone to say that should they should have to take psychiatric medication is a violation of there rights. It sounds more like the liberal bleeding hearts who are responsible than us facist Conservatives.

Ever work in the mental health field? Unless you have, you may wish to educate yourself as to who is more to blame w/respect to individuals are in need of psychiatric medications to keep them stabilized and yet, most problematic issue is patient compliance w/respect to medications. And you can't force them to take medications but when they deteriorate, they wind back up in the hospital to be stabilized and then, released back into the general population. So do tell us who is more responsible for that, us facist Conservatives or bleeding heart liberals who do more damage to society in that as stated, "liberalism is a mental disorder."

Obama,...on executive privilege;

OBAMA:“Well, you know, I think we'll -- we'll determine over the next several weeks how this administration responds to the very appropriate call by Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, to have these individuals come in and testify. You know, there's been a tendency on the part of this administration to -- to try to hide behind executive privilege every time there's something a little shaky that's taking place. And I think, you know, the administration would be best served by coming clean on this. There doesn't seem to be any national security issues involved with the U.S. attorney question. There doesn't seem to be any justification for not offering up some clear, plausible rationale for why these -- these U.S. attorneys were targeted when, by all assessments, they were doing an outstanding job. I think the American people deserve to know what was going on there.”

Mmm Hmmm.
Should we quote the leadership failure debt ceiling speech again?

Tt appears that You never studied biology in college.
Technically alcoholism is not a disease given that you cannot catch the disease off the rim of a liquor bottle as some dime store psychologists would seem to have everyone believe.
That's right. Alcoholism is only a disease in the sense it is progressive; a person has to drink more and more to get the same effect, they start to have health problems, their spouse leaves them, they lose their job, ect. And certain people have a genetic predisposition for alcoholism and it does tend to run in families. But a person still makes a choice to start drinking and they can make a choice to stop. I have seen individuals who have parents who are drug addicts/alcoholics but they make the choice to not drink or use drugs. Too much in this country is currently being blamed on the "disease" and "genetic" argument.

Yep, I bet the Democratic party embraced King didn't they. Should you refer to post "Dixiecrat '64", I find it highly unlikely that the party of George Wallace, Storm Thurmond, who switched parties later, David Duke, who switched parties to be elected, and Robert Byrd, along with other Democrats, was the party the MLK aligned himself with. He did vote for JFK once and because JFK called him/spoke with him. MLK's own niece stated that MLK was a registered Republican.

MLK a Democrat? Yeah sure.

Republicans on the Record

"What does the record say about Republicans and the battle for civil rights and specifically for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Public Law 88-352)?

Since Abraham Lincoln, Republicans have been there for blacks when it counted. Nevertheless, Democrats invariably take all the credit for the success of the civil rights movement and invariably fail to give any credit to Republicans.

In fact, the civil rights movement was not about politics. Nor was it about which politicians did what and which political party should take the most credit. When it came to civil rights, America's politicians merely saw the handwriting on the wall and wrote the legislation to make into federal law the historical changes that had already taken place. There was nothing else they could do.

The movement of blacks to the North, as well as their contributions as fighting men in the world wars, plus the hard work of millions of blacks and their families and churches, along with the efforts of many private groups and individuals made the civil rights movement succeed.

Civil rights for blacks found its historical moment after 1945. Bills introduced in Congress regarding employment policy brought the issue of civil rights to the attention of representatives and senators.

In 1945, 1947 and 1949, the House of Representatives voted to abolish the poll tax restricting the right to vote. Although the Senate did not join in this effort, the bills signaled a growing interest in protecting civil rights through federal action.

The executive branch of government, by presidential order, likewise became active by ending discrimination in the nation's military forces and in federal employment and work done under government contract.

Harry Truman ordered the integration of the military. However, his Republican opponent in the election of 1948, Tom Dewey, was just as strong a proponent for that effort as any Democrat.

As a matter of fact, the record shows that since 1933 Republicans had a more positive record on civil rights than the Democrats.

In the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the votes.

Right now American conservatism seems to be increasingly anti-human. Right now House Republican are preparing to make new cuts to food stamps and unemployment benefits. Are they going to offer nee jobs to the unemployed? Will they pass any measure to increase the pay of low income workers who need food stamps? Or maybe they believe, as legend had Marie Antoinette saying, that if the poor have no bread they should eat cake. Who cares if 12 million American children go hungry so long as we protect oru precious property and profits? I guess if the bootless cannot pull themselves up by their bootstraps they should sink.
America--under nearly every administration administration(though to different degrees)--gives generous tax breaks and subsidies for the rich, for the corporate fat cats. And there's little talk about whether these plutocrats really NEED or DESERVE it. It is only when the poor, or sometimes even the sinking middle class needs an assist, that conservatives talk about "wasteful spending." Funds at taxpayer expensed lavished upon the rich, the corporate 1%, are called "subsidies." Far more meagre funds to the poor are called "welfare."
Moreover, it is a myth that most (or even a large minority) of the poor are on welfare, and also a myth that most (or even a large minority) of welfare recipients remain on public assistance their entire lives. And at any rate, if the market economy worked as well as some would like to believe, there wouldn't be a problem of unemployment, welfare, food stamps or anyhting of the sort. Ah, but we can't question the SYSTEM. The powers that be would prefer the people to perish than compromise elite privilege.
Last I checked, it was Obama and his cronies who decided to raid food assistance programs to fund the teacher's unions 2nd bailout and being that they are one of the Democrats biggest financial contributors.

Democrats cut food stamps subsidy to bailout teachers unions

8-11-10

"President Obama signed the $26 billion dollar bailout package for teachers unions that will be paid for mostly by cuts in the food stamp program and the Department of Energy’s renewable energy loan guarantee program.

The House vote went mostly along party lines passing with a 247-161 margin. Two Republican’s voted for the measure three Democrats voted against the bill.

But the group that took the biggest hit were those people on the governments food stamp program which has grown astronomically over the past year as high unemployment continues to grip the country. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamp program had their funding reduced by $12 billion dollars to help pay to prop up the teachers unions.

There are currently 41 million Americans dependent on the federal assistance program and they lobbied hard to defeat the bill, but were unable to get enough Democrats to vote against it.

The big winners for the passage of the bill is somewhat clouded. It’s clear that the teachers unions were by far the biggest winners as were fiscally irresponsible states that didn’t make the cuts necessary to sustain their states budgets. The other big winners ‘could’ be Democrats themselves as they are bound to get a windfall of the bailout money flowing back to their elections campaigns this election season from the teachers unions.

While Democrats are ensured a lot of that money returning to help them with their campaigns, the question is will the American people who are already angered over the constant bailout of banks, Wall Street, car manufacturer’s and now teachers union’s see this as a good thing. The teachers unions had already received a bailout as part of the stimulus package and now they’re getting another one to help keep 160,000 teachers on the job at the expense of 41 million people who are on food stamps."

*And at the time that Obama signed the bill, we had Congress was under the direction of Pelosi(D) and Reid (D).

It wasn't until last November that the Republicans gained control of Congress and many states voted in a Republican governor/replacing the Dems who couldn't make the proper cuts to sustain their budgets.

Again, I asked if you had ever worked in the mental health system. My ex-husband did in that he worked with adult schizophrenics, the worst cases. So unless you ever have worked in the field, trust me I know far more than you do. They don't take their meds in that once they are stabilized, they don't feel that they need them or due to the serious side effects of the medications to treat their disease. And good luck should Obama Care be implemented in that a good number of people won't seek proper treatment due to privacy issues in that there stands a good chance that medical records would no longer be private as they are currently. One more stroke of brilliance by the bleeding heart liberals.

Sorry but that same old "they changed parties" won't work in that some of us aren't indocrinated by your liberal system. Some of us actually woke up and are able to understand what the historical accounts mean. Save your liberal tactics for your students and those who hate this country as much as your do.

Might I add, those evil "big Pharm" corporations, those evil bastids, how dare they have programs set up to help people who cannot afford their medications.

Under Obama Care, if a board doesn't approve the medications an MD wants to dispense, good luck to the person.

Before you run your nonsense again, work in the mental health field for a few years and see how you feel.

My ex-husbands clients were very ill people and with very serious illnesses. No one wanted to force anyone to do anything, however, to keep his clients out of the hospital and have any quality of life, it was imperative that they take their meds to keep them stable. However, it was a cycle. For one reason or another, they would deteriorate due to discontinuing their meds in that they didn't feel they needed them or the side effects were worse than their illness. It was the same story, they would always wind up having to be hospitalized and the majority were paranoid schizophrenics that required transports. They never got well. There was no cure. So save you bleeding heart liberal douche baggery for someone who isn't naive.
