Hypocrisy of Republicans/Conservatives

[LeighaMason 19]

FYI, before I posted my response to your obvious racial attack of President Obama, I showed it to my best friend, (the one who is thinks that black people play the race card too much) she happens to be black and she thought it was purely racially motivated as well.

Let me see, you post racially offensive material and I am immature? You make me sick. People like you make it hard for people like me to even want to be called a Christian, I certainly don't want anyone to think you and I are the same thing. In case you don't know, you push people away from God every day with your sanctimonious attitude.

Proverbs 11

1 The LORD abhors dishonest scales,

but accurate weights are his delight.

2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,

but with humility comes wisdom. 3 The integrity of the upright guides them,

but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.

Your fake numbers that you post are your dishonest scales, your pride is apparent, and your duplicity (hypocrisy) is legendary.

from pattygreen:That cartoon doesn't suggest any of those points. Only to someone like you who can't think outside of race. I saw that cartoon, and the color of Obama was not even an issue to me when I saw it. I knew right away that the cartoon reflected a president who likes to give away our hard earned money to those who don't work. You on the other hand just HAD to see it as a racial dig. That shows me how hooked you are on the color of peoples skin. Too bad for you. I feel sorry for you.

Save me your phoney sympathy. It's as phoney as all the teabaggers and their "outrage" about spending and the deficit.

You know,LM, I just don't see it. I looked at the cartoon over and over, but I just don't see it. I don't see any racism there, cause it's not. You want to see racism, so you do. I showed it to several people who came in today, and I emailed it to a few friends also. I asked them what they thought it signified. ALL of them, all of them said it symbolized Obama as a president who promotes welfare. They all saw it as I did. NOT ONE saw it as a black and white thing. WOW! I guess you REALLY, REALLY want to believe the right is racist. What can I say. Play that card if it helps you to find a reason for our criticism of Him and his agendas.

also, what fake numbers did I post are you talking about?

[Cleo's Mom 257]

He doesn't have to come out and say it. His agenda makes it clear that that is what he supports. His spending sprees (giveaways), his HC plan, his free tax credits for homebuyers and college, cash for clunkers, and I could go on and on with his free gifts at our expense.

You know what pattygreen? You are just an elitist snob who looks down on those who are less fortunate than you. You forget your roots in doing so, too. And don't give me your "I worked hard, paid my bills, went to school, blah, blah, blah," speech. We've all heard it and it doesn't change a thing. Maybe some abuse the system but many are trying to better themselves, too.

You advocate for wall street, big corporations and the insurance industry.

When you talk about making people dependent and viciously attack welfare, you never rant about corporate welfare and all the free tax money they get.

You criticize the welfare recipient who has cable tv but not the corporate welfare CEO who gets a $100 million bonus with our money.

You oppose main street, middle class and poor people.

Pres. Obama's stimulus has been proven to work. It was given to people to keep or create jobs. These people worked for these funds and they paid taxes, etc.. The stimulus kept our economy from complete collapse and from a full blown depression.

I am so thankful we had Pres. Obama at the helm for this economic situation.

The bank bailouts were started by bush. Did he want people to go on welfare and become dependent on the government by giving our money to banks who made bad decisions?

The healthcare plan will reduce the deficit. It will help our economy by reining in HC costs. People who don't have insurance and can't afford it will be helped by the government to purchase it. You obviously don't care about people who can't afford to purchase health insurance but don't qualify for medicaid. I do.

Tax credits for homebuyers and clunkers helps to stimulate the economy. Ask the home builders, realtors or car salespeople. Our economy needed to be stimulated. When it is, it makes the economy healthier and people who get jobs from it buy things and pay taxes.

Additionally, I notice that you never take exception to all the tax breaks big corporations get. Our tax money. Oh no. Maybe some token lip service but you rail against anything that goes to your neighbor.

None of these things makes Pres. Obama a president who wants more people on welfare and to be dependent on the government. That's just more right wing extremist BS to which you subscribe. It makes him a president who wants to solve the tough problems. And I'm glad he is tough enough and smart enough to try to solve them instead of ignoring them, which would be the easy way out.

Tomorrow when they broadcast the live Health Care debate, lets see which of the Republican anti universal health insurance bashers raises their hand to OPT OUT of the Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan. Why should they participate in any form of "Socialized Health Care" when the uninsured an under-insured back in their home districts can`t get the same coverage as their representatives elect to have for themselves and family?

Said at today's healthcare summit:

"If you think it's a socialist plot, then please drop out of the federal employees health program". (Dick Durbin)

Way to stick it to 'em, Durbin!!

Does anybody remember what I posted after patty posted the cartoon? I said that there are people who are so ignorant they don't even realize how bigoted they are. In fact, they will rail against it and tell you that they have a family member or best friend who is an African American and I forgot to add that they will tell you that they don't see anything racist in a cartoon like that and that for those reasons, they're not racist.

Thanks patty, you made my case for me - in spades.

What a bigoted ass-wipe to post such a racial cartoon showing an African American President on a food Stamp coupon! First of all you idiot, Food Stamp Coupons have all but been replaced with Debit Cards for both security and fraud prevention and dignity purposes to avoid coupon tearing at check out. Only some "hate" monger white trash jerk or a Black self hater would post such a thing. But its ok...as long as your a Christian..your not Perfect, but your SAVED! Excuse me while I vomit! Perhaps you and your inbred family will loose your healthcare in the future and will need Medicaid or better yet, be turned away at the hospital ER for lack of Health Insurance! I can`t stand stupidity!

[BJean 16]

phil, stupidity is extremely frustrating if you are trying to communicate or have a rational debate.

I can deal with stupidity though, if someone is able to understand logic and learn. If they keep posting illogical opinions and do not learn from anything they read, then I can't handle stupidity of that magnitude without becoming extremely frustrated. And that's when I post things that I usually regret because they are so harsh.
