Ok math whiz, what is it when 70% of the people arrested are black and the population is 85% white? That's the situation in my rural county in Ala.


You were in the military. Ppl who weren't have far more 'liberal' views when it comes to this subject, as a rule.

I am a proud exception to the rule... except I feel I am a conservative... you know, the real kind, not the modern Flag worshiping kind.

I'm the kind that wants balanced budgets, Federal, state and local... but with a Repub (conservative values preaching) President and congress threw the budget out the window. My local state has elected a Repub Gov and now a repub legislature... their first order of business was to set out to write new laws limiting the availablilty of Porn, gambling and liquor. Never mind those are heavily taxed and we are deeply in debt. First we must purge the state of immorality, then we can balance the budget.

So why do I defend the Dems so often? Not because I completely Identify with their philosophy, its because when we have Repubs in charge they scream about homos and abortions while paying themselves and their buddies the out of balance dividends. They PREACH but do not practice... so I have had to abandon the party that abandoned its principles and embraces idiots like Glenn Beck and Sarah "I can see russia from my house" Palin.

You want to shoot folks who desecrate the flag? Proceed as you like. Don't be surprised when other TRUE Americans shoot you or incarcerate your bigoted a$$. If being opposed to small minded folks like you makes me Liberal, I'll wear the badge proudly.


That really sucks, Dewy! In bad times like these, ppl need their vices more than ever!

I don't identify with either party. I can understand & agree with what they are SUPPOSED to represent, but find that it'a all just words, & the only thing they represent is their continuing to have a death grip on us all, along with their "elected" jobs, while they feed the corporate regime.

Each & every time I get my hopes up over one candidate or the next, they prove themselves to be yet another puppet of the republicratic crap.

I, too, consider myself to be a true conservative, in that I believe in the right of the individual. Unfortunately, our country has gone so far from personal rights it can hardly be called the same thing it was, just 30 years ago.

I think I may have to take RGM's advice & get the hell outta Dodge, cuz it's getting to where I'm about ready to give up on this place.

breakdown of the family? Most people in jail are from broken families, and broken families is an epidemic in black communities.

I respect that and thats a good point.

I never said that, just help them find another country to live in. I mean we waste a lot of money why not buy them a one way ticket to their choice of country to live in. We are only talking about 2 to 3 million tops.

Bigoted ass, small minded? I have expressed this opinion publicly all over the world for 40+ years and the majority of TRUE AMERICANS agree with me and I am still alive. So call me all the names you want just because people should show respect to the American Flag. I guess your the smart one huh?

You haven't been shooting at anyone lately either have you?

By the way... TRUE AMERICAN is one of those definitions that is different with everyone you ask. According to you they seem to be only the ones who died for their country... or agree with you.

I suppose all of those nasty homosexuals we've been kicking out of the Military for the last 40 years were not true Americans... even though some of them died for your right to despise them.

If a man should have the right to burn the flag.
I should have the right to shoot him for it.


If he wipes his ass with it, can we make him eat it too.

So, there you agreed to forcing someone to eat a shitty flag, and then shooting them.

I'd also like to point out, I don't HATE... I think we all have very different opinions and am proud to live in a screwed up system of "Freedoms" where we can rant and do little about the issues we agree or disagree on. I'm pleased as punch to have "enemies" like you true "conservatives" to banter and rant with. It makes life worth living.

Ok, kids make life worth living... you folks make it interesting.

So, this discussion has reached the point where pretty much everyone's arguments boil down, on some lever, to:

"I Believe in the death penalty for anyone who thinks differently than I do."

In that context, it seems unlikely anything useful will result.

I got that idea from the crowd you've joined, true freedom loving American patriots who want to abolish taxes, modify the Constitution to ban gay marriage (and of course abide by it AFTER its modified) and object to gays in the military.

That IS the crowd your speaking for, so I just assumed you were part of that mob.

Also shooting someone in the ass is a cowardly tactic... you had the gun ready, you owned the situation... why shoot him in the back?

I get now Dewy, your bored and just looking for a fight or just a name callin' thang.

I do not want to abolish taxes, just unfair taxes.
I do not want to modify the Constitution.
I do not speak for some mob, I am speaking for myself.

and
you were not there, what are you? some kind of mama's boy still sucking on here titty? When are you gonna man up? Feel better now? Dewy huh?

Symbols are for the cults.
DEEDS not words.
My family members died so that I could express myself in any way I choose so long as it doesn't "physically" hurt anyone else.

I don't want to live in a weaksuck country that is politically correct (sterilized) where everyone has the same right, and everyone that disagrees is wrong.

Man you folks are starting to scare me. Sorry about the snow blower. True American? What's that? I bet I'd get my PROGRESSIVE ass shot off if this group ever got together. TOOOO much pain and suffering in the world. In my PROGRESSIVE dumb ass opinion we should, especially as musicians, be trying to make nice if you get what I'm saying. Hell, there's a lot to love about this country and a damn lot to hate. I was not joking when I said is it 1939. This kind of rhetoric reminds me of the rise of the Nazi party. Himmler knew if Hitler could control the media, they could foment anger against all who were not pure Aryan. This was not limited to the Jews. They wanted all foreign entities rid of. When will we ever learn. Stop attacking each other with your crappola posts and go write a song.

Actually if this group ever got together it would be the best band the world would ever know. But we would need a really really big stage.

Rent "Voyage of the Damned."

Based on actual events, the story told of the MS St. Louis, which departed from Hamburg, Germany in 1939, carrying 937 Jews from Germany to Havana, Cuba. By this time, the Jews had suffered the rise of anti-Semitism and realised that this might be their last chance to escape. The film details the emotional journey of the passengers who gradually become aware that their passage has been an exercise in propaganda and that they were never intended to disembark in Cuba. Rather, they were to be used as examples before the world. A Nazi official said that when the whole world has refused to accept them as refugees, no country can blame Germany for the fate of the Jews.

The government of Cuba refuses entry to the passengers, and as the liner waits near the Florida coastline, they learn that the United States has also rejected them. They have no choice but to return to Europe. The captain tells a confidante that he has received a letter signed by 200 passengers saying they will join hands and jump into the sea rather than return to Germany. He says he is intending to deliberately run the liner aground on a reef off the southern coast of England.

Shortly before the film's end, it is revealed that the governments of the United Kingdom, Belgium, France and the Netherlands have each agreed to accept a share of the passengers as refugees. As they cheer and clap at the good news, footnotes disclose the fates of some of the main characters, and reveal that more than 600 of the ship's 937 passengers ultimately lost their lives in Nazi concentration camps. However, the book presents a much lower number: By using the survival rates for Jews in various countries, Thomas and Morgan-Witts estimated that about 180 of the St. Louis refugees in France, 152 of those in Belgium, and 60 of those in the Netherlands, survived the Holocaust. Adding to these the passengers who disembarked in England, they estimated that of the original 936 refugees (one man died during the voyage), roughly 709 survived and 227 were slain.

In 1998, Scott Miller and Sarah Ogilvie of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum traced the survivors from the voyage. The conclusion of their research was that a slightly higher total of 254 refugees died at the hands of the Nazis.
