That is exactly what they're pushing for, is this a sarcastic question?
Not sure what decade you were born into but I think there are a lot of people who dont see themselves represented in the “great country” of that time.
That’s because paid education has no ROI with only a few exceptions. Colleges have ruined it for themselves by offering degrees on line and the real indicator of success is a persons self drive. Education is something everyone should aspire to but not necessarily in a pay tuition format
Yes, But I lived in the North and not the Solid Democratic South of Segregation and the KKK ! So I have to agree With you that that was indeed a curse upon our country.you will get no arguement with me on that.
For the record,I was born in 1932, and was dirt poor as were my whole family, but America was still
The land of opportunity, and that is all the people that I knew every wanted. God, Family , Country, and opportunity.
2.0 you still graduate. that said i live near the u of arizona and 30% of all freshman drop out of school
Here is the problem with my old party the Democratic party: They embraced Political Correctness, They think Abortion is a good thing and there is no room for descent about it. They appear to be for open borders; Both parties when in power think it's ok to expand government but Democrats take it to a whole new level. They think Socialism will work. It works no where. Even in western countries where they implement it. There is extremely high unemployment. The list go on but this is a good start

I understand. Just stating some interesting facts. The problem is a lot of kids are immature so they major in beer drinking instead of taking advantage of school
2000 years ago the Greek philosopher Epictetus who was born a slave said 'inferior people blame others for their problems, average people blame themselves for their problems, and superior people just solve problems'... that was 2000 years ago, and is just a true today. People seeking victimhood are inferior people by that wisdom. The democrats seek to develop victim mentality from inferior people. It is their political model.
So those on the right that are claiming that Christianity is under attack are also inferior people?
I don't see that … but this is ironic …. what does it mean when someone infinitely inferior calls something inferior .….. not credible?
Saying something is under attack is not the same thing as blaming white men for all the ill in the world and if we just remove that we solve the problems. 'we own it your side says its not my fault.
"This top 10% that you reference still pays 70% of the total of all income tax paid annually. The top 1% pays more than the bottom 90% combined. The bottom 50% pays less than 3% of all income tax paid annually. It’s the traditional view of Dems that the top 10% should be paying more than 70% of all income tax paid."
The reason they pay--
1.According to an analysis that excludes pensions and social security, the richest 1% of the American population in 2007 owned 34.6% of the country's total wealth, and the next 19% owned 50.5%. Thus, the top 20% of Americans owned 85% of the country's wealth and the bottom 80% of the population owned 15%.
2.The richest 1 percent in the United States now own more wealth than the bottom 90 percent.
They are always generous with everyone else's $
But when I link ...
Gift Contributions to Reduce Debt Held by the Public
Or the Bureau of the Fiscal Service
...to allow them to donate 70% (in their Utopia good but not great) of their yearly earned income or 90% (almost Utopia) or 100% (Yeah Utopia)
I never see them post the form saying they donated the % they want others to pay while also ignoring the 3 things the leftist Brookings Institute states for one to become wealthy
1) Graduate high school
2) Get a job
3) Don't have children out of wedlock
My solution of asking them not demanding they live up to their own standards equates zero coercion or force
Their solution = tyranny or coercion
Their solution = tyranny or coercion
Didn't even come close to saying that, but I'm not surprised you can come up with an absurd conclusion like this ..... sheesh
Apparently you think you represent all Christians? ... that's hilarious ... LOL!
He thinks Christianity or even theism is synonymous with leftism while applying euphemisms towards murder I mean abortion
Part of the (((Jesus was a socialist))) cult
Whatever happened to that "teacher" at Notre Dame that attempted to say such nonsense ?
And so how much does Nancy Pelosi donate each year to charity and how much does she pay in taxes since she seems to think everyone else would pay more.
There is a limit to higher taxes you know. The Brits found that out some 200 years ago.

She pays nothing if you calculate how much she's "earned" from the protection of the STOCK Act
"She and She's"

rgc7, with all due respect, the country that you were born into permitted blatant racism and discrimination (Jim Crow laws, lynchings, segregation, etc.). The country that you were born into had a Catholic Church that believed it was more important to protect its image and its pedophile priests than to protect its congregants. The country you were born into permitted and encouraged American imperialism, allowed the proliferation of the military-industrial complex, and discriminated against women and minorities in the workplace and in schools.
I know that we all long for the good old days but those good old days weren't good for all of us.
Lol the country
You mean Democrats defended those state laws in Democrat party states
People not the country
Or "people"
Catholics
It's like you think all Catholics within the church supported what the minority did
They didn't
American Imperialism lol
So it wasn't communist imperialism when they infiltrated Africa or SE Asia or Poland or Ireland or Afghanistan or South America or Latin America or the Middle East ... thus leading to a reactionary stance by US and our allies
Which came first in all the geographical locations I mentioned the usurper soviet influence or our ((((reactionary))) stance
Discrimination against women and minorities
Again what political party opposed women's rights
What political party opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1957
What political party had a president say
"I'll have those ni88ers voting Democratic for 200 years"
What political party ousted their own member and totally ignored the study
"The Negro Family: The Case For National Action"
Book by Daniel Patrick Moynihan
Military Industrial Complex lol
Say something bad about the marxist or Soviet Union military industrial complex
Especially the marxist influence in South Africa that allowed willie and winnie nelson to necklace their own people for opposing marxism

"for women"
You should probably do some research before stepping up on your soapbox
The Republican Party pioneered the right of women to vote and was consistent in its support throughout the long campaign for acceptance. It was the first major party to advocate equal rights for women and the principle of equal pay for equal work.
The Women’s Rights Convention held in Seneca Falls, N.Y., in 1848 marked the beginning of the women’s suffrage movement in the United States. Two years later there was a nationwide meeting in Worcester, Mass.
By 1870, the Massachusetts Republican State Convention had already seated two suffragettes, Lucy Stone and Mary A. Livermore, as delegates. In addition, the National Republican Convention of 1872 approved a resolution favoring the admission of women to “wider fields of usefulness” and added that “the honest demand of this class of citizens for additional rights … should be treated with respectful consideration.”
Wyoming, the state that pioneered women’s suffrage, sent two women, Therese A. Jenkins and Cora G. Carleton, to the 1892 Republican Convention in Minneapolis as alternate delegates. This was the first time women were seated at a Republican National Convention.
This convention was also the first to be addressed by a woman, J. Ellen Foster, chairman of the Women’s Republican Association of the United States. A strong believer in organization, Foster said her association had prepared work plans for women’s involvement in national politics. Copies were given to each delegate and alternate. “We are here to help you,” she declared, “and we are here to stay.”
At the request of Susan B. Anthony, Sen. A.A. Sargent, a Republican from California, introduced the 19th Amendment in 1878. Sargent’s amendment (also known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment) was defeated four times by a Democrat-controlled Senate. When the Republican Party regained control of Congress in 1919, the Equal Suffrage Amendment finally passed the House in May of that year and in the Senate in June.
When the Amendment was submitted to the states, 26 of the 36 states that ratified it had Republican legislatures. Of the nine states that voted against ratification, eight were Democratic. Twelve states, all Republican, had given women full suffrage before the federal amendment was ratified.
On August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th and final state needed to ratify the amendment. The U.S. Secretary of State certified the amendment on Aug. 26, 1920.

"and minorities"
For the first time since President Richard M. Nixon’s divisive ‘Southern strategy’ that sent whites to the Republican Party and blacks to the Democrats …” began a New York Times story last week.
Thus has one of the big lies of U.S. political history morphed into a cliche — that Richard Nixon used racist politics to steal the South from a Democratic Party battling heroically for civil rights.
A brief stroll through Wrong on Race: The Democratic Party’s Buried Past might better enlighten us.
Where Teddy Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington to dinner, Woodrow Wilson re-segregated the U.S. government and had the pro-Klan film “Birth of a Nation” screened in his White House.
Wilson and FDR carried all 11 states of the Old Confederacy all six times they ran, when Southern blacks had no vote. Disfranchised black folks did not seem to bother these greatest of liberal icons.
As vice president, FDR chose “Cactus Jack” Garner of Texas who played a major role in imposing a poll tax to keep blacks from voting.
Among FDR’s Supreme Court appointments was Hugo Black, a Klansman who claimed FDR knew this when he named him in 1937 and that FDR told him that “some of his best friends” in Georgia were Klansmen.
Black’s great achievement as a lawyer was in winning acquittal of a man who shot to death the Catholic priest who had presided over his daughter’s marriage to a Puerto Rican.
In 1941, FDR named South Carolina Sen. “Jimmy” Byrnes to the Supreme Court. Byrnes had led filibusters in 1935 and 1938 that killed anti-lynching bills, arguing that lynching was necessary “to hold in check the Negro in the South.”
FDR refused to back the 1938 anti-lynching law.
“This is a white man’s country and will always remain a white man’s country,” said Jimmy. Harry Truman, who paid $10 to join the Klan, then quit, named Byrnes Secretary of State, putting him first in line of succession to the presidency, as Harry then had no V.P.
During the civil rights struggles of the ’50s and ’60s, Gov. Orval Faubus used the National Guard to keep black students out of Little Rock High. Gov. Ross Barnett refused to let James Meredith into Ole Miss. Gov. George Wallace stood in the door at the University of Alabama, to block two black students from entering.
All three governors were Democrats. All acted in accord with the “Dixie Manifesto” of 1956, which was signed by 19 senators, all Democrats, and 80 Democratic congressmen.
Among the signers of the manifesto, which called for massive resistance to the Brown decision desegregating public schools, was the vice presidential nominee on Adlai’s Stevenson’s ticket in 1952, Sen. John Sparkman of Alabama.
Though crushed by Eisenhower, Adlai swept the Deep South, winning both Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.
Do you suppose those Southerners thought Adlai would be tougher than Ike on Stalin? Or did they think Adlai would maintain the unholy alliance of Southern segregationists and Northern liberals that enabled Democrats to rule from 1932 to 1952?
The Democratic Party was the party of slavery, secession and segregation, of “Pitchfork Ben” Tillman and the KKK. “Bull” Connor, who turned the dogs loose on black demonstrators in Birmingham, was the Democratic National Committeeman from Alabama.

And Nixon?
In 1956, as vice president, Nixon went to Harlem to declare, “America can’t afford the cost of segregation.” The following year, Nixon got a personal letter from Dr. King thanking him for helping to persuade the Senate to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
Nixon supported the civil rights acts of 1964, 1965 and 1968.
In the 1966 campaign, as related in my new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority,” out July 8, Nixon blasted Dixiecrats “seeking to squeeze the last ounces of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice.”
Nixon called out segregationist candidates in ’66 and called on LBJ, Hubert Humphrey and Bobby Kennedy to join him in repudiating them. None did. Hubert, an arm around Lester Maddox, called him a “good Democrat.” And so were they all — good Democrats.
While Adlai chose Sparkman, Nixon chose Spiro Agnew, the first governor south of the Mason Dixon Line to enact an open-housing law.
In Nixon’s presidency, the civil rights enforcement budget rose 800 percent. Record numbers of blacks were appointed to federal office. An Office of Minority Business Enterprise was created. SBA loans to minorities soared 1,000 percent. Aid to black colleges doubled.
Nixon won the South not because he agreed with them on civil rights — he never did — but because he shared the patriotic values of the South and its antipathy to liberal hypocrisy.
When Johnson left office, 10 percent of Southern schools were desegregated. When Nixon left, the figure was 70 percent.
Richard Nixon desegregated the Southern schools, something you won’t learn in today’s public schools."

You are one easily triggered wacko. Find a safe space.
I'm sure you have something to back up this bs right? I mean just coming to an obscure internet board and making up fake stats would just make you look very stupid. Looking forward to some legitimate sources for your data.
Lol it is like you don't even think before you type
I challenged your narrative and you reply with calling me a wacko and telling me to find a safe place yet I think it is you that is the wacko and are angered your safe place has been challenged
Please stop with the childish psychological projection
