Don M - it's been a while since there has been a thread with this much open racism & hatred displayed.
Regarding, 'blocks' & generalizations - I knew what you meant but I felt I had to call you on it.
FWIW, you are part of a voting block that casts its votes for the canidates that promise you the most. Maybe not a welfare check in the mail, but something you want none the less.
Why does a bad part of town necessarily imply blacks or hispanics? I've seen some pretty rough white neighborhoods that I was more than apprehensive about being in. The people you all are worried about feeding off the public buffet have several things in common. They are immigrants, they are poor, they typically live in urban areas because that is where they can find work & affordable housing. Most of them have more guts than those of us *****ing and moaning about them - they left someplace looking for someplace better... ... As I stated earlier, at one point we were all immigrants. Those bad 'neighborhoods' used to be the Irish, German, Polish etc, etc neighborhoods. For them to vote they had to meet certain requirements and register. One of those requirements is being a citizen of the US - doesn't that make them your equal under the Constitution? They vote based on their best interest - just like you & I do. We may not agree with their politics but it's up to us to do something about it thru the proper channels - VOTE.
Calling all homosexuals 'unhappy & unsocialized' is another great generalization. I would agree with you that militant gays are unhappy & unsocialized but that description fits ALL militant people - gay, muslim, christian, morman, white, black, brown, yellow, hindu. The list is endless. I do not agree with or understand a gay persons lifestyle but I'm the first to say that the gay people I know are better people than a lot of the straight people I know. I wouldn't even try to convince you that Christianity approves of homosexuality. It's an unwinnable (sp?) arguement - religous texts have been used to prove lot's abhorent things. Just look at the WTC attack or the Crusades.

Scariest of all is the Liberal who is CONVINCED his way is righteous. These types will lie, steal, kill, destroy anyone or anything if they feel it will help the "environment" or "minorities" or "the people". They have abandoned what is Right and have settled for what they want, convinced in the goodness of their vision. But like Chairman Mao's vision, when their desire becomes political reality it causes immense suffering and death.
Change religous for liberal... ...
