Ignoring the Facts

I have often been appalled by the negativity and vindictiveness of Robert Levy’s columns.
Regrettably, he is at it again with his recent statement that minorities, freed by civil rights legislation, have been enslaved by a welfare state that has “robbed them of a desire for excellence.” What blatant racial stereotyping!
But it ties in with his lament earlier this year that Gov. Perdue “vetoed a bill to stop murderers from escaping death based on race” (in fact, the rampant incarceration of minorities is the actual new enslavement).
Mr. Levy has the gall to link President Kennedy to his tripe, completely misreading his famous “Ask not what your country can do for you …” quote. Kennedy hoped to give our country a new sense of idealism, a sense of destiny that wasn’t just tied to money-making or pleasure-seeking.
President Kennedy’s words still offer more of a moral guide than the cynicism of Mr. Levy or other race-baiting politicians.
Perhaps Mr. Levy should question where his own desire for excellence has gone, for his lack of regard for the facts only contributes to the general disdain of some of your frequent anti-Obama letter writers for the facts.

The writer, "chuck" writes an article while him self either "ignoring" the facts of welfare, or not ever knowing the facts just states an uneducated opinion.
Chuck do you know the facts about welfare? you did not provide any, you just complained and offered no back up for your complaint nor did you offer a solution.
Thank you come again.

While The_ AnonymusProfit (should be Prophet but he didn't know how to spell it) criticizes chuck (should be Chuck but he is unaware of when to use capitalization) claims the writer is presenting an "uneducated opinion". Wow, am I the only one who finds this idiot hilarious? Thank you and don't come again. This world does not need more expansion of your gene pool.

@JimRussell44 aka Dusty,

Yea right, like when you told me to "beware of false profits" in another discussion. Ryan, keep posting, it is the highlight of my day to read your comments. The only thing that makes me laugh harder is reading the Billy Graham column everyday in the Fayetteville Observer. There is definitaly a reason that column appears in the funnies section. To use your writing style, "go a head an con tin u to let youre brane entertane us cause we lik it".

Ryan, I'm not Jim Russell. As I've said multiple times it is not only possible that more than one person finds you to be an idiot, it is extremely probable.
The wingnut obsession with "this poster's Dusty, that poster's Dusty" is a testament to how much I've gotten into you people's heads. I love it.

Chuck the nicest thing I can say of your opinion piece here is, you're just full of beans. Since we all are so obsessed with Dusty I would recommend you stick with his columns for the mild mannered and completely balanced and thoughtful writing you desire and we'll happily stick with Mr. Levy.

Who is JimRussell? The blog name is hauntingly familiar to JimHeim. The writing style is similar as well. Anyone else notice how Jim has gone dormant? Just sayin’

Are you afraid of the Black Panther Party, boscoe50? They may be coming down your driveway to see if you are registered to vote. And I have researched the Kennedy family. Like any family, you can find whatever you might be looking for. I found a band of brothers who served their country, died for their country and led their country through very rough waters. JFK didn't have to stage an event wearing his military uniform to appear to be a leader, he WAS a leader, as were his brothers. You, sir, have a very selective memory.

Hey guys, JimRussell is not Jimmy "spend the country into oblivion" Heim!! I've actually had several go rounds with JR and he is much more willing to consider different viewpoints and discuss them without name calling and the bowing to the supreme wisdom of the extreme liberal leftist democrats for Obama Heim!!!

Funny, how given all this "concern" that the GOP is showing for African Americans, that their candidate, Mitt Romney, is polling at ZERO percent with that group.
That's right...ZERO.
http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/20120825/NJNEWS/308250009/Poll-0-blacks-support-Romney?odyssey=nav%7Chead
Most other polls have Mittens' support among African Americans at less that 10%.
Guess they don't appreciate all the "concern" you show, probably because you simultaneously engage in 24/7 racist dog-whistling.

remember you brought this up, no one else
fugitiveguy 16 hours, 56 minutes ago Where would black people be without handwringing white liberals feigning outrage on their behalf. I bet they give thanks for them nightly.
so who here is the racist.
If the person who "brought it up" is, ipso facto, the real racist, then I guess you're calling fuggy a racist. Shame on you, Bozo. Shame. Shame.

Anything you say makes me go 'huh is he stupid or trolling?'
Then I remember yes you are stupid. Also paranoid it seems. Keep name dropping just let's me know I got to you. And yes there are more than one type of Republican, now put your tinfoil hat back on and begin your next rage filled tear soaked rant Bedpan.

Boy, talk about letting the cat out of the bag..Bozo just said the most racist thing I've seen this week. Really outed yourself there, didn't you? Better hurry and get your sheets off the line, the Moore County KKKonservatives are meeting this week.

Anything you say makes me go 'huh is he stupid or trolling?'
Could be both. In fact, definitely both.

Actually, Bozo, I've been all over the US and have gotten along fine. Got friends from Maine to Boston to NYC to Nebraska to SoCal.
Sorry you never made it out of the trailer park. You should try it sometime.
dustyrhoades 8 months, 4 weeks ago
I'm doing fine, Bozo. Sorry you're so jealous of my success in multiple areas. The only one we know of that you've engaged in (trolling anonymously on this website), you're pretty much failing miserably at.
dustyrhoades 8 months, 4 weeks ago
No, Bozo, I was pointing out in the other thread that if you're going to be a columnist you have to do it under your own name and take responsibility for what you say and write, something which you're clearly terrified to do.
But the fact that you immediately bring up the possibility I'd "confront you" speaks volumes. It's clearly what you're most afraid of. It also points out the fact that you know full well you're using what would be considered "fighting words" in the street. But you feel free to spew them here, because you think it's safe. Thus, you're a coward. Q.E.D.
