    Do the racists here restrict membership of their websites to "whites only"?

    Do they refuse membership to Muslims?

Stop calling yourself a liberal. The way you speak about people is disgusting. Your a Republican. You fit right in. Go watch more Fox News.
        dear bottom feeder, you could ride that high horse if your compassion didn't run out right where other people's money to pay for your compassion ran out. I'm certain that the $10s of thousands that I give to charity pales in comparison to the vast sums YOU give to charity.
        And if we're talking about paying my fair share, I pay more in a year than your entire extended family pays. I'm sure your tiny brain thinks thats not enough.
        I'm not a liberal. most liberals are liberal because they enjoy living off of other people's money.

        silly little uneducated girl.

          dear bottom, the difference between the producer class and yourself is that we don't envy those people who are more successful. You, dear trash, spend all of your time enviously looking upward.

          Whenever I notice you, I laugh at your imagined superiority you muster from that hovel you call a home/office.

                    True.

                    You'd think people would learn not to keep sticking their paws in the same old traps.

                    But ...... nope.

                          It's why they are always so mad and angry. All that bottled up frustration with no outlet, turns them into very boring angry people, where anything outside their comfort zone is bad.
                          In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                            The frustration comes from the idiocy seeping out from the libtard zombies.
                            Liberalism is a mental disorder.

                                  crockett, what has come over you to go into this full-troll mode lately man? lol

                                  That entire post I just quoted could be used for ANY person who is caught up in the team spirit "us against them" dogma of political parties.

                                  You could be describing a Republican, a Democrat, a Libertarian, a Green Party, a Communist...pretty much anybody who is extremely caught up in anything.

                                  I know, I know...because I pointed that out, you're gonna accuse me again of "defending Republicans". lol

                                  And that's what I'm talking about. Reading the things you've written to me in these troll threads over the last few months...you seem to think that if a person doesn't agree with what you say, then they MUST be "defending Republicans".

                                  In other words, you kinda act the same way as you are accusing "right wingers" of acting. Thus my observation that your description pretty much goes across the spectrum and isn't just the people you disagree with. EVERYBODY acts that way when their beliefs are challenged.

                                  That's why I say...stop believing. Fuck the Democrat party (that's for you), and fuck the Republican party (that's for Republicans).

                                  Let's start actually taking these lifetime/career politicians at their fucking word from the campaign. And if they fail to deliver for ANY reason...let's "fire" them the next election until they get it through their heads that they are supposed to represent the PEOPLE...not special interests and not their own pocketbook.

                                    But "hardcore right wingers"? Name me one...because that would mean religious nut cases. Pretty sure that most people who are really in the porn biz are fairly liberal when it comes to social issues.

                                          I know, I know...because I pointed that out, you're gonna accuse me again of "defending Republicans". lol

                                          And that's what I'm talking about. Reading the things you've written to me in these troll threads over the last few months...you seem to think that if a person doesn't agree with what you say, then they MUST be "defending Republicans".

                                          In other words, you kinda act the same way as you are accusing "right wingers" of acting. Thus my observation that your description pretty much goes across the spectrum and isn't just the people you disagree with. EVERYBODY acts that way when their beliefs are challenged.

                                          That's why I say...stop believing. Fuck the Democrat party (that's for you), and fuck the Republican party (that's for Republicans).

                                          Let's start actually taking these lifetime/career politicians at their fucking word from the campaign. And if they fail to deliver for ANY reason...let's "fire" them the next election until they get it through their heads that they are supposed to represent the PEOPLE...not special interests and not their own pocketbook.
                                          Because it's not like anything that gets posted here is going to change anyone's mind. It's not like anyone here has an open mind. The further you prove a wingbat wrong the further they hunker down in their beliefs.
                                          In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                            Just my thoughts, but without two sides to an opinion whatever you are reading or you are viewing becomes completely boring. I wouldn't want to see GFY turn into something racist hate board,

                                                              Continued... but without some controversy or opposing views it becomes FOXNews or MSNBC, both of which are equally boring and one sided.

I guess it's changed a little bit? Really on both sides I think it's 6-12 posters starting these topics.
                                                                                    I do see some anti Obama stuff but only against his policy's... for instance Obama care doubled my heath ins... so yeah I didn't really dig that so much and I do see the world as a more dangerous place due to Obama's lack of understanding, or interest on foreign affairs.. .. but that was coming down the pipe anyway I guess

                                                                                      Osbourne was photographed leaving a restaurant/bar in London Tuesday night with boyfriend Ricki Hall. The photos tell the story ... she ate it big time.

                                                                                      Kelly took to Twitter, claiming she got "pushed by paps." But the photogs on the scene tell us ? she looked "a bit worse for wear" and slipped. We're guessing the American translation for "worse for wear" has something to do with alcohol.

                                                                                      Maybe it's just a gravity thing.

                                                                                                Conservatives see the world as a challenging place in which there is always someone else who is ready to steal your lunch. Confronted by a potentially hostile environment, the best course is to take precautions and to ensure your own well-being and that of your family.

                                                                                                This precautionary stance helps to explain many of the distinctive traits of conservative Americans as well as right-wing politicians the world over. These traits may reflect either a proactive element, such as fighting to be winners in a competitive world. Or they can be defensive, involving measures to neutralize specific threats.

                                                                                                The threatening world view illuminates the conservative take on specific political issues in fairly obvious ways.

                                                                                                Conservatives are pro-gun because they want to be able to defend themselves against criminal threats of any type.
                                                                                                They are mostly religious because religious rituals foster feelings of safety in a dangerous world such that the most dangerous countries in the world are also the most religious.
                                                                                                They tend to be more hostile to immigrants, foreigners, and racial or ethnic minorities and to view them as more of a threat.
                                                                                                They fear attacks by other nations and therefore support a strong military and a bellicose foreign policy on the theory that a good attack is the best defense.
                                                                                                Apart from military defense, where government is an asset, conservatives fear government intrusions into their lives and particularly fear having their wealth eroded by taxation.
                                                                                                They are pro-family because being surrounded by close relatives is the best defense against threats that surround them.
                                                                                                They oppose welfare for the poor because this encourages dependence so that the failures of a society are parasites on the successes thereby inverting the proper incentive structure.

                                                                                                The liberal world view is mostly the opposite. Liberals take a more optimistic view of the world as being somewhat more benign. Government is a vehicle through which the citizens of a democracy can solve problems and improve the well-being and happiness of most people.

                                                                                                Liberals feel that protection of citizens against crime is better left to police and that armed citizens are a threat to those around them.
                                                                                                They are less religious than conservatives because they perceive the world around them as less threatening. Moreover, they rely more on science, and education, as a means to solve problems.
                                                                                                Liberals are more welcoming to immigrants. They are less likely to view foreigners, and racial or ethnic minorities as a threat.
                                                                                                They favor negotiation and consensus-building over warfare in foreign policy and do not believe in excessive military buildups that drain social spending.
                                                                                                Liberals are happy to pay their taxes if they believe that the money is being used to improve the quality of life of others whether they are poor or rich. Instead of being a threat, the government reflects the will of the people.
                                                                                                Liberals are less interested in family ties as a protective bubble.
                                                                                                They support welfare programs for the poor because these may reduce child poverty, as well as reducing crime and social problems.
                                                                                                Liberals are suspicious of wealth feeling that much of it is inherited or obtained through sharp business practices or outright corruption. They also feel that concentrating resources in the hands of the one percent impoverishes everyone else thereby undermining social trust.

                                                                                                Conservatives see the world as a more threatening place because their brains predispose them to being fearful. They are also predisposed by brain biology to hating complexity and compromise. That would help to explain why politics can be so polarized, particularly in a rather conservative era like the present.
