I literally said that in response to a guy bringing up things from decades ago and saying it applies to today. I mean it was clear. You quoted everything but the last sentence, which made it perfectly clear and acted like I was making some kind of point that what Washington and Jefferson did means we're racist. Weird dude, Just weird. Are you trying to say you don't support Trump? Would it make you feel better if I said "Trump supporters" instead of you guys?
Who is playing the victim? Your preconceived notions made you miss the forest for the trees here.
Just in case you still don't understand:
Post I was responding to:
What I said:
"Don't you believe that all Americans are racists? The first Presidents owned slaves.
That's about what you're (as in Athens62) doing here."
Do better, Gilligan.
I am trying.
So let’s bring this back to center so we can be friends and have a beer.
I will state honestly how I believe. We might not be far off from each other.
I am voting for Donald Trump. So that is on the table.
I do not believe we should hold the Dem party to what they did in the past in regards to racism. I hold them in contempt for it now.
I hold most politicians in contempt because they buy the voting block through redistribution of taxes paid by citizens. When some can take your money then give it to another person for favor, it is vulgar. Our welfare system is a political nightmare.
I believe holding any party or person liable for decisions made in unique eras is folly. Human beings experience, learn, and change. Especially holding a Dem or Rep or any citizen in contempt for actions done by people not even alive today. We can scream guilty by association, but that is really silly.
We learn from social interaction. We learn, we change, we apply perspective.
I cannot support racial bias in anything. Dividing up the citizens to sell them benevolence is wrong.
An elected official should not be allowed to give my money away. My taxes are given to build roads, build and maintain the military to protect us and fund a judicial system. That’s it
The central gov should not control the power. Each state is sovereign. Central gov power is dangerous and the lead to every socialist, communist, dictatorship regime.
My job and your job is to provide for my family. It is not the responsibility of the government.
So when the tit is sold for the vote, and that tit is funded on the financial backs of others, and who ever is in power gets to make that decision, I ignore that supremest who believes I owe him my support.
Specifically, I have a problem with how Joe Biden speaks to his country. He insults citizens because of their beliefs, yet praises illegals. He divides citizens, putting them as a rival, his own citizens! He labels and calls them bad.
I have not seen Donald Trump do that. He attacks the politician, he attacks the political system he claims is doing it wrong. He doesn’t attack his citizens. That is a really big deal.
Sell your agenda as why it helps all citizens by helping our country be the strongest it can be, to provide opportunity. Don’t sell benevolence programs that kill initiative through overtaxation of the citizen and don’t sell agenda that manipulated the economy artificially, causing inflation and finial crisis.
The government should always allow free market to drive the economy.
So there. My beliefs. Are we that far off? We don’t have to agree, but you are buying the beer.
Oh, and that is Maynard T. Krebs, not Gilligan. Get your shows right man!
