Agreed.

I am surprised Krause didn't comment on Jesse's racist remark.







I was wondering which of the racist morons here would pile on. You

fellas apparently are not aware that the quote you are attributing to

Jackson isn't one that describes *his* feelings, but one used to

describe how he thinks "white people" feel when they hear footsteps

behind them.



Right-wing media outlets have bandied about that quote for decades, and

out of context, of course.



Next?







If I understand what you are saying, He did say the line, (I can only

find that it was originally quoted in US News).





All the cites quote back to a 20-year-old item that allegedly appeared

in the Chicago Sun-Times, and virtually all the cites are from

right-wing sites. I've never seen a cite that definitively proves

Jackson said any such thing.

Yet just one post back you tried to definitively say that you knew what he meant when he said it. You're full of it, as usual.

Please. In the last few days, *your* political party nationally and in
various states has taken measures to restrict voting, to not extend
unemployment compensation, to deny equal pay for equal work, and in the
Ryan budget that passed the House today, further slice what remains of
the social safety network in order to give more tax breaks to the
wealthy. All of those moves, every one of them, impact the poor and
minorities negatively. Smug Republicans in denial.

Smug is the wrong word. "Clownish" is the right word.
Comes from being scared. Or maybe from being clowns.
Certainly not "smug".
Maybe the Dems are smug. Maybe justifiably so.

Why should we extend unemployment? Isn't two years enough for someone to
learn a new job? Why not restrict voting to those legal to vote in an
election. Person moved 2 years ago, to another district, why should it not
be questioned when he wants to vote in a local election? An local election
that does not concern them. Why should a person in Chicago or anyplace
else get to vote each year for 75 years after they died? We, as a nation
are broke! Why should we not change welfare, when it seems to not improved
the nation in 75 years? When we are on the 6 or 7th generation of welfare
family, even a concrete brain like yours has to admit, IT AIN'T WORKING.
The poor pay no IRS taxes! why give them a break? Look at dividend income
from 2014 on. Max tax rate from IRS, 35%. But that money was already
taxed at 38% corporate tax rate. Seems as if removes incentive to invest
for long term, or even to pay dividends. Kills those 401K and pension
funds even more. Why are we borrowing 47cents of every dollar the Federal
Government spends. Seems even worse since the modern Dem's are in control
of the Executive branch. We better change something, as what we are doing
now AIN'T work'n.

then there's that mud and the **** smell.
