Seems like most of you want to Republican Party to turn away from it's neocon/traditional conservative ways and adopt a more Libertarian view point. Yet, when actual Libertarians give their opinions here you all get extra butthurt...
interesting...
interesting...
well, you don't just give monetary reparations to a people who (mostly) are at the bottom of the social economic ladder - who are also still shaking off some mental brainwashing as a whole.
However you do give reparations to descendants of groups you've fuked over for years - The US demons have given it to other groups - and also nations around the world have people that think that tranatlanticslave descendants should get it.
Since you can't give cash for obvious reasons; why not give additional tax breaks and free healthcare and also other benefits to descendants of these slaves?.. I mean we spend billions on pointless things you wouldn't believe. Nations even pay other nations reparations - like Japan and Germany after ww1 to western powers or the US to the japanese they put in camps.
Over 700 trillion dollars is a small estimate of what the nations in the West should be paying African nations... and 100 Trillion is almost exact to what America should be paying to blacks in America for building the nation, enduring jim crow and other CAC movements, for the stigma that will probably never go away, and for giving the jump start to many of the fortune 500 companies that exist today. some of the largest and most profitable insurance companies in America started off by insuring the death of slaves to Southern Farmers. The railroads and basically everything else that boosted the American economy in the first place was ran by black free labor.
Random nations around the world have fitted the bill for past slaves... like in 2000 when germany paid reparations to some ww slaves who worked in camps. Well actually the auto and other industrial companies pay the money. In the US our companies benefited 10x more from our slave labor and doing the decent thing in that situation isn't taken seriously at all. But what do you expect from a nation that for most of it's history didn't even convict people who hung black people from trees and cut their penises off, or babies out of their stomach, or burned them.
The fact that black people receiving anything at all - is usually laughed at and dismissed. This dismissive attitude is indicative of the very reasons and effects that warrant the reparations in the first place.
Symbolically African American are spit in the face everyday because of one issue or another- But Mainly because the White House was built by slaves, and the land that used to be a remote swamp was built up by slaves and called DC or the nations capital. Many of our presidents had the White house staffed with slaves they owned... and just to let blacks in America know not only won't reparations be paid, but blacks will continue to get fukked over in the worse ways possible - CAC and demonic leadership in this nation has enacted economic policies that affect us disproportionately, done neglectful things with public schools that contain mostly black students... started a War on Drugs that was fake and targeted to do obvious things.. Burned any town that contained successful black business and economies, killed any positive leader so that 'hope' could always be contained and continued to promote a private prison industry that is a modern version of the original slavery - which btw is feed by a Justice system that every study concludes is biased towards blacks.
So yeah, I was thinking... .that I would at least listen to a politician that desired to push towards assisting the black community through additional early childhood education programs, 100% free health care, and tax breaks that would put corporate tax loopholes to shame.

GOP has screwed themselves for the long haul. Gerrymandering ensures their seats in the Senate for awhile but they have to consistently keep going to the right when they are up against centrist or center-left/right candidates and they are constantly tripping over themselves to appear more conservative than the rest, i.e. to the right. They've started the snowball to a self-fulfilling prophecy. I don't see how they get the numbers anymore to get the electoral votes.
Yeah, I think their own base is screwing them over. They're demographically doomed unless they get more support from Latinos and young voters, but their base is so extreme that Republican politicians have to take far-right positions on everything or risk losing the primary. Problem is those same far-right positions will cause them to lose general elections.
Basically the Republican base pulls candidates so far right that they have little chance of appealing to moderates, independents, or minorities. You know Republican voters crazy far right when even Pat Robertson thinks they're too extreme.
They have a nice lil bit of gerrymandering set up that will probably keep them in control of the house for a couple more elections, but in the long term they got problems.

I tell most people my age all the time if they hadn't been conditioned since childhood to go left or the right, they'd realize their ideologies most align to the Libertarian beliefs.
Basically:
Don't fukk with me and I won't fukk with you. There's no such thing as a crime without a victim. Only impose necessary industry/currency regulations(no manipulating). And full government transparency.

I personally would never vote for anyone of either party until lobbying, PACs and campaign funding just in general is reformed.

I be winkin' through the scope
Libertarian econ is the definition of
but theres plenty of overlap socially between libertarians and many liberal/democrat voters. Plus, anything is better than neocon garbage.
become more liberal than the democrats
Probably the most important is campaign funding... Some issues would fix themselves if that was corrected.
Ahh.. the old Dem vs Rep debate. When will people realize that there is no ideological difference between the rhetoric spewed by either party?
The established system is the oldest trick in the book: Divide and Conquer. While you fight your brother over what you think are significant issues, the Masters continue their agenda of your oppression and UOENO it.
House Slave vs Field Slave anyone??
