		<description>Ryan, where do you go to find your proven facts? You liberal sissy long winded wimps just keep yaking, trying to impress each other. After you&#039;ve heard the same thing over and over from your loser friends, it eventually becomes a matter of fact. You guys are the delusional ones.</description>

		<description>&quot;Republicans came to power because the American people recognize Left Wing Losers when they see them. &quot;

Republicans came to power because they rigged the election voting machines.  It&#039;s a proven fact - republicans lost the election, but because they&#039;re thieves with big egos they cheated for a Coup D&#039;Etat - as fascists always do when they can&#039;t win fair...

And they might win every election as long as Diebold and Triad help them cheat.  After all, they are so immoral they believe the means justify the end.  This moral relativism is expected from Fascists though - but unlike 2004, we know what and how you stole the election.  If you think the election activists are gonna sit by and let you steal the next ones, then your delusion is protecting from the truth... But then again your delusion seems to always protect you from the truth - that&#039;s why it&#039;s a delusion..</description>

		<description>Which is not to say that all or even most Republicans are racists - it is just to say that, because of the realities of how they came to power, those realities which must not be discussed in polite company, we observe some fairly bizarre scenes.  

comment by, Who knows, Who cares?

Republicans came to power because the American people recognize Left Wing Losers when they see them. Here&#039;s a cold hard fact; as long as the Democratic Party allows itself to be operated and funded by fringe radical idiots you people can&#039;t get elected. 

We&#039;re here to make sure everything you do and say is recorded to be re-run on prime time every election cycle. The fact is, we can&#039;t lose.</description>

		<description>[...] Although veryone knows it full well, they can&#8217;t admit it, which is one of several things that make our political dialogue insane. In order for non-racist Republicans to be able to look themselves in the mirror, they need to concoct a fiction in which racism was a problem, but we licked it good 20-30 years ago, and a few centuries of American culture and history got wrapped up as neatly as a sitcom plot. Therefore, according to the rules of this fiction, even mentioning race as a factor in politics is like trying to connect modern politicians to the Teapot Dome. Observe our President referring to racism as a thing of the past. Observe James Taranto&#8217;s hand-waving argument that black Americans are out-of-touch political extremists. Which is not to say that all or even most Republicans are racists - it is just to say that, because of the realities of how they came to power, those realities which must not be discussed in polite company, we observe some fairly bizarre scenes.    &#160; [...]</description>

You should read a REAL book on poverty, clearly your level of ignorance is only informed by propaganda.

		<description>MrWrong and his right wing propaganda now shows what a racist bigot he is.  He talks about crime and african americans yet he forgets all of the relevant points.

1) This organization is a slime right wing smear organization, and they use voodoo statistics.
2) The conservative mainstream media like fox will probably pass on these lies - hopefully most reporters will ignore it for the false manipulation of numbers that it is.
3) This is a racist organization just like MrWrong is a stupid bigot - and they don&#039;t actually do real metrics.

Crime is related to poverty and access to opportunities - not race.  Bigots like this guy and his david duke KKKrazies always spout some crap like this.

I knew you were a freak MrWrong, I didn&#039;t realize you were also a john birch total white supremicist moron.  You&#039;re even more insane than I realized.  But of course, as you&#039;ve previously stated, you replace your own &#039;superior&#039; judgement on what&#039;s crazy to the learned doctors who spend years in school and do actual scientific research that&#039;s peer reviewed. You have such a high opinion of yourself considering how little you appear to actually know...</description>

		<description>Now as for the plight, if every republican administration didnâ€™t undo the progress made under the democratic predecessor...

comment by Ryan First Negro Hindu Homo

I&#039;m not sure there&#039;s anyway we can undo the progress of the progressives....here&#039;s an example of the progress you&#039;ve make with the American Negro...

 
Today, September 14, the New Century Foundation releases The Color of Crime, our relentlessly factual study of race, crime, and the criminal justice system. 

For anyone who ever wondered just how much more likely blacks or Hispanics are than whites to commit various crimes, the answers are here.  

It takes hard work to pry the facts out of the reluctant grip of federal crime databases. But the results are eye-opening:

 Blacks are just 13 percent of the population but they commit more than half the muggings and murders in the country. Hispanics commit violent crimes at about three times the white rate. 

 The proportion of blacks and Hispanics in an area is the single best indicator of how dangerous it is. The racial mix is a much better predictor of crime rates than poverty, unemployment, and dropout rates combined. 

 Although Jesse Jackson and Bill Cosby wring their hands over black-on-black mayhem, blacks actually commit more violent crime against whites than blacks. A black is about 39 times more likely to do violence to a white than the other way around, and no less than 130 times more likely to rob a white. 

 And yes, everyone&#039;s suspicions about rape are correct: Every year there are about 15,000 black-on-white rapes but fewer than 900 white-on-black rapes. There are more than 3,000 gang rapes of whites by blacksâ€”but white-on-black gang rapes are so rare they do not even show up in the statistics. 

There is plenty moreâ€”but just as interesting will be how the Mainstream Media will treat these facts.

		<description>[...] Alongside the chilling thought that Rove&#8217;s new portfolio almost certainly means that the administration has assurances that he will not be indicted in the Valerie Plame leak case, lies the longer-term reality that comes with implementation of methods that have been roundly rejected, some for decades. Environmental deregulation, only popular with polluters, and school vouchers, only popular with those who haven&#8217;t considered their effects, will have their presence felt almost immediately. Next will be the economic effects of still more tax cuts and federal giveaways to business. This is the least conservative part of the plan, yet also the least troubling to Republican critics of the reconstruction spending. The ability to locate a business in an area already slated to receive hundreds of billions of dollars in federal aid, and billions more in state, local, and private investment should really be all the incentive any proprietor needs. Tax cuts and direct subsidies that benefit businesses already experiencing a windfall from relaxed wage rules, environmental standards, and government contracts is not only wasteful and anti-market, but promotes further class inequality. And here the media was, telling their audience that the President was having an FDR moment and proposing these measures because he wanted to fight poverty and racial issues. [...]</description>

		<description>I found an article recently that said the only President in history that did not take his presidential salary was FDR.  He said that life had been very good to him, and he was aware that the American people could use that money to recover from the depression.

Is dumya doing the same?

no.</description>

		<description>Kevin Schmitt..I think...i agree.  Bush looks down on
anything other than his &#039;base&#039;  Remember in Fahrenheit
911, when he goes to the white tie and tails dinner,
(funny enough to see him in a tux),,,and they introduce
him....he says&quot; Well, here we are, the haves...and the
have mores&#039;...and they all laughed.  He added, &quot;the
people call you the elite...I call you my base!&quot;
  So true....and he keeps on giving!</description>

		<description>&quot;comment by somebodyâ€™s fairy prince
I did and so did everyone else you self loathing step away from suicide enemy of free people everywhere. &quot;

Self loathing?  Hehe, you call someone else self loathing?  I LOVE who I am, but it&#039;s unclear you have what psychologists call an &#039;anxious masculinity&#039;.

So why would a bigot like you assume that one was only talking about african americans when we talk about poverty?  Why would also assume they&#039;re all poor?  The fact is there is a vibrant african american middle class - some of which held/hold offices in this administration.  Clarence Thomas is a supreme court justice because of those liberal policies you knock.  The affirmative action which got him into law school made his very existence in that job possible.  The same is true for Rehnquist who went to college on the GI bill, and who otherwise would not have been able to attend.

The reality is that poverty and the social improvement of this country has always been best solved by liberals - and conditions always worsen under republicans.  You don&#039;t like those answers because you&#039;re an idiot - but that is the undeniable truth.  To deny it means you must deny all evidence to the contrary, which is VAST and incontrovertable despite the best effort of lying propagandists such as you!</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a great link here that does analysis of how the african american middle class has been devastated by bushenomics.

http://www.cepr.net/publications/job_tenure_report.htm

The reality is we have a guy who bankrupted 3 companies in the process of bankrupting the country.  He&#039;s an idiot, surrounded by incompetent zealots who are so arrogant they can&#039;t even recognize the destruction they bring!</description>

		<description>In the last 28 years of republican leadership compared to the last 28 years of democratic leadership it quickly becomes clear how bad republicans are at handling the economy.

In the 28 years of Republican administrations there were 258 months of expansion and 78 months of contraction, while in the 28 years of Democratic administrations there were 304 months of expansion and 32 months of contraction.

This means that not only did republicans show over 2 times the number of recession/depression months, but if we were to break it down further the average GDP growth rate for the non-contraction months for both parties shows that economies grow at almost twice the rate under democratic presidents than republican ones.  They also show that the economy grows fastest under both a democratic president and a democratic congress - whereas they grow the slowest under a republican president and republican congress!

Clearly the real issue is that republicans are crap with the economy - yet the get in a big circle jerk and tell each other how good they are.  They use voodoo economic techniques that pad their contributors and screw the economy - all the while whispering the lies in each others years that &#039;they&#039;re better&#039;, when in fact they&#039;re inept, just like MrWrong!  He&#039;s SO SURE that he&#039;s right, yet every fact available shows he&#039;s an ignorant selfish fool!  No wonder you&#039;re still single MrWrong - you&#039;re an idiot, and who&#039;d want to share their lives with a loser like you!</description>
