Let the shutdown begin

Re: Let the shutdown begin

if obama pursued big banks and had gotten continued and immense bipartisan support you wouldn't have had the extremely close race in the '12 election in which he could have gotten more of his democratic agenda supported instead of massive resistance like we're getting now. even in a distribution, though the mode avg might be skewed more toward the GOP side there are still faults from the obama's cabinet that is included in the mean. issues of privacy, habeas corpus, syria, and honestly the war in afghanistan (things that people tend to forget for some reason), all contribute to resentment of obama's actions as president- even from his own party!

and really. the introuction of an argument of rape is not needed, we can talk about that some other time. but you and i, as a white male and a white-washed asian male, have an invisible card that we can use to get preferencial treatment in america. if you're telling me that's not the case, and that anyone that doesn't have light-skin doesn't have preferential treatment in washington dc, well that's just ignorant.

edit- actually i'd like to clarify since you brought it up: no, there is no difference in rape for anyone; there is no further need to discuss that.

Re: Let the shutdown begin

Lito have you stopped to think that maybe people don't like Obama because he's a bad president not because he's black?

Also, Rubix, are you implying that there is nothing wrong with Obamacare?

Re: Let the shutdown begin

you notice how in my comments, race is comma'd and usually one of the last points i make? yea. that's because it plays a psychological role that can't immediately be measured or filed under the 14th amendment because it's too difficult to scientifically analyze. but to say obama ISN'T ostracized by some republicans just because he's black is again, ignorant.

And if Walt hadn't let Jane die, her father wouldn't have zoned out and caused the plane crash that killed 167 people. Is it still Walt's fault? Or perhaps Gretchen for being richer than Walt and fucking with his insecurities that caused him to ultimately enter the meth trade? Fuck it, go long -- let's blame the Big Bang.

Yes, there are plenty of things our government should have done differently. But pointing to such precursor events as simply engendering resentment to justify a breach is not reasonable.

and really. the introuction of an argument of rape is not needed, we can talk about that some other time. but you and i, as a white male and a white-washed asian male, have an invisible card that we can use to get preferencial treatment in america. if you're telling me that's not the case, and that anyone that doesn't have light-skin doesn't have preferential treatment in washington dc, well that's just ignorant.

my point with that analogy (and I admit perhaps it wasn't clear or that it was too strong) is that you're invoking a form of "victim blaming" which IMO is not the way to go with this stuff.

and I never argued that we don't get preferential treatment. we definitely do. but that doesn't mean it's obama's fault for being black. it's the racists' fault for being racists.

Not implying that at all -- I don't actually like Obamacare. But it's much better than what we have now, and IMO it's at least a stepping stone to a better system.

i don't have any substantial proof of the argument I am trying to make, but if you don't believe me you're ignorant

Re: Let the shutdown begin

let me guess, when a girl gets raped, sometimes you argue "she was asking for it"?

i hope you know that litodude was banned from ffr for repeatedly preying on high school girls

u mean when i was 17 haha okay

why do you continue to exist .............seriously.



no rubix, obama being black isn't his fault, you honestly think i'm arguing that????????????????????????????

maybe i should type out fully coherent sentences to explain myself more. nvm, bullet format:


-the GOP is crazy, but they know how to manipulate people
-fueled by inherent racism, the GOP is actively resisting anything obama does.
-the public is split, because even democrats don't like the decisions obama has made in the past (i gave examples)
-obama could have done thing differently.
-because obama did things a certain way, the GOP reacted in a particular way which causes our dilema now
-me stating obama is black was to point out the GOPs sentiment
-obama being black isn't 'victim blaming'

better? it's just polisci dude

Well...

it's everyone to blame:

obama for ... being black

...you did say so explicitly. And in the context of blaming him for getting into a battlefield with racists.

better?

...so why are you blaming "everyone"? Because... what? Because the dems did stuff that "made" the GOP react like petulant children with walnuts for brains that have been boiled in batshit? Nobody is forcing them to act that way. They're doing that on their own accord.

I don't even like Obama as a President (he's still too conservative for my tastes. Years ago he actually would have been a Republican). I still don't blame him for this shit.

This whole thing is solely on the GOP.
