Oh, I forgot to add, YOU LIE! The biggest racist I have seen on this site in a long time, is you. How you are still around is beyond me, the others got banned pretty quickly as it should be.

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 2:02 AM

You’re a clown, a whiny one at that. “Na uh, you’re a racist!!11111″ Pathetic. I’ve never referred to a country as “Wet-backistan” and I’ve never made absurd and irrational claims about interracial marriages. Some here has, though — isn’t that right, Jenfidel?

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:05 AM

Take out the dash. I did that for the filters. Hot Air seems to have blocked the term after Jenfidel used it.

Racistboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:00 AM

You’re spelling it wrong.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:06 AM

Why are you talking about reality when you blatantly denied reality by claiming that that wasn’t a tea party on the video?

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:02 AM

OH! You are sooooooo…. cute.

Watch and learn.

Kini on July 9, 2010 at 2:07 AM

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:05 AM

Stop trying to make this about everyone else. I called you a racist and you validate that claim time and time again. I can’t wait for your next slip up. First it was interracial marriages. Then it was Mexico/Mexicans. Who will be next, Jenfidel? Asians? Native Americans? Who?

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:07 AM

I’ve never made absurd and irrational claims
Racistboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:05 AM

Oh, but you have…with every comment.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:08 AM

This Black panther thing is not going to go away.. plus throw in the KSM trial bruha and Holder’s days are numbered.

Dire Straits on July 9, 2010 at 2:08 AM

Kini on July 9, 2010 at 2:07 AM

Genius, do you not understand that the confederate flag is popular around there. What proof do you have this was an infiltrator? I guess you missed the ones defending the confederate flags use, no? Have you even been paying attention?

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:10 AM

Yea, and you would know how to spell it, Jenfidel. You said it. I changed out the “i” for an “a” and look what pops up again–Stormfront.

And it doesn’t matter what the spelling is. You always focus on the most unimportant things, LOL.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:12 AM

Stop trying to make this about everyone else.
Racistboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:07 AM

But it is about everyone else.
The Tea Parties will only get larger…and there will be more people of color there, too and I don’t mean the NBPP there to cause trouble, but people of all skin colors supporting the TPM.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:13 AM

But it is about everyone else.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:13 AM

Will you talk to them about your “opinions” on interracial marriage? Huh, huh, will ya, will ya!

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:14 AM

And it doesn’t matter what the spelling is. You always focus on the most unimportant things, LOL.Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:12 AM

You focused on it not me and I’m not going to tell you how I spelled it because you’re a loathesome idiot troll.

There’s nothing wrong with the Confederate flag in public,BTW.
Tell you what, we’ll put away the Stars and Bars when your pals in the NBPP put down the flags, T-shirts and signs that say “Black Power” with the clenched fist on a black background.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:16 AM

When you look at what results from interracial marriages like the Precedent, Tiger Woods and the murder of Nicole by O.J. Simpson, I have to wonder if those “natural law” advocates didn’t have a point.

Jenfidel on February 19, 2010 at 7:39 PM

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:16 AM

Will you talk to them about your “opinions” on interracial marriage? Huh, huh, will ya, will ya!

Racistboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:14 AM

Talk about someone who focuses on what isn’t important…

America has much bigger problems with Hussein right now.
I talked to 2 friends today who aren’t political and they both told me…”Obama’s a Marxist and a Muslim.”
Trust me, nothing could convince these nice ladies otherwise.
Your buddy’s in real trouble.
I lived through Jimmy Carter’s malaise and this is much, much worse.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:19 AM

OH! You are sooooooo…. cute.

Watch and learn.

Kini on July 9, 2010 at 2:07 AM

Good link. They were on the stooge!–whatever the hell he was.

Gang-of-One on July 9, 2010 at 2:20 AM

Hey Naruto. I did two google searches. I found only one result from Stormfront and another from VNN. Nice try troll.

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 2:20 AM

Racistboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:16 AM

You have no idea what you’re dealing with or talking about.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:20 AM

”Obama’s a Marxist and a Muslim.”

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:19 AM

The important things. Riiiiiiight.

Did these ladies say anything about his birth certificate? Heh.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:21 AM

Hey Naruto. I did two google searches. I found only one result from Stormfront and another from VNN. Nice try troll.

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 2:20 AM

Those are the very sites I named, you moron. I said it brought up results from two of the webs most racist hang outs. What don’t you understand.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:22 AM

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 2:20 AM

I spelled it the right way (my way) and got 6 results:
2 were for Pakistani porn, 3 were from HA! and none linked to SF or VNN.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:23 AM

You have no idea what you’re dealing with or talking about.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:20 AM

I said nothing. I quoted you. So are you saying that you don’t know what you’re talking about? I’d agree with that.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:24 AM

Did these ladies say anything about his birth certificate? Heh.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:21 AM

Oh, Americans have much more to work with now that he’s been the Prezodi-n’t (as in “No, he di-n’t!) for 18 months and people have lost jobs, houses and wages and are facing paying Maobama’s taxes.
The “rabble” is getting p*ssed out here in the Heartland and it isn’t pretty.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:26 AM

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:23 AM

Because it only counts if you spelled it right, right, Jenfidel? Hilarious. Why does the point always fly past your head?

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:26 AM

Genius,

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:10 AM

I’m happy to make blood shoot out of your eyes.

Dude, you’re weak.

Nice talking with ya, pau!

Kini on July 9, 2010 at 2:27 AM

Which is where they should be.

That looked like a predominately black neighborhood. If Bubba was to do that down where Duke served, I doubt much would happen to him either. Blame your inability to be openly racist on your ancestors who tormented every minority group there is.

Narutoboy on July 6, 2010 at 10:25 PM
So it’s cool to be racist if you’re a minority?

Thanks for finally spelling it out. We knew it was your view all along, but you did a nice job deflecting for 6 months or so.

Good Solid B-Plus on July 6, 2010 at 10:26 PM

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 2:28 AM

Come back when you’re not in denial.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:28 AM

I said nothing. I quoted you. So are you saying that you don’t know what you’re talking about? I’d agree with that.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:24 AM

Too bad AP’s on vacation–all of your posts on this thread have been off topic.
Every single one.
Because you can’t have the New Black Panthers spoiling your carefully manufactured HA image as the pitiful victim of “cracker racism!”

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:29 AM

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 2:28 AM

The point of quoting that was?

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:29 AM

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 1:56 AM

You reclaim the many faceted sides of racism, through and through. You scream and moan, without a blister of what you truly are. The tea-party was made up of, by a vast majority, honest people, who, do not want added-on taxes and do not want a government, that not only takes over every aspect of their lives, but to add insult to injury, proclaims that the working person must support every man, woman, and child without proper health-care, healthy food, and a decent place to reside, well that their obligation and Karma. How do you come to this conclusion? Your ideal of Utopia has never worked anywhere. So, instead, you take the low-road and do a bit of sniping. Doesn’t work. People are not as malleable as you believe.

betsyz on July 9, 2010 at 2:30 AM

Added bonus: Nautoboy has no other interest generated from a human being for a long, long while. That’s why he’s here… to annoy and get some sort of reaction.

betsyz on July 9, 2010 at 2:30 AM

Is using the term “Wet-backistan” a racist statement?

Is claiming that children born to interracial couples are more prone to instability an example of racist?

Yes or no answers, please.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:35 AM

The point of quoting that was?

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:29 AM

Just deserved to be posted again as Good Solid B-Plus nailed it pretty well. Oh and so did you, nail yourself pretty well. I still for the life of me cannot understand how you have stayed here so long. This thread was about a man (whistleblower) calling out an abuse of power by the DOJ voting rights division. You have turned it into everyone but the DOJ is racist. Racism does not come with a color, it is an attitude, one I fear you possess.

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 2:39 AM

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:22 AM

Are you an idiot? There were only one result for each site idiot. Out of all the mentions of W-stan on the internet, only two search results go to Stormfront or VNN.

There is a thread at Peta-Sucks and a Myspace comment page and a guy with the last name of Savala laughs at it!

Stop being the Sixth Sense of Racism.

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 2:39 AM

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 2:39 AM

I didn’t claim that there was anything but one result for each, you imbecile. Go back and read what I said again. I said that I typed it in and found results from two of the biggest racist sites on the web, and that’s fact. You seem to be implying that I said they were the ONLY results.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:40 AM

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 2:39 AM

Idiot and easily amused. Good Solid B-Plus was wrong. I didn’t say that racism is OK for minorities. I love how you airheads blatantly distort the truth.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:42 AM

If Holger is too lazy to look up the original comment, I’ll do it for him:

I typed that phrase into Google just now and guess what I found? The term used on two of the webs most popular racist hangouts.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 1:51 AM

What’s untrue about that statement?

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:43 AM

This is not a chat forum nor a place where someone with their own agenda can haul off and harass others personally.
If the person doing the chat thing, the personal attacks and the harrassment doesn’t stop it right now, I will be contacting Ed M. or whomever the HA webmaster is tonight for some much needed moderation.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:46 AM

I’d also like to think Hot Air is not a place for lunatics talk about their crazy, unfounded theories on interracial marriage. And you have a lot of nerve.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:49 AM

Whatever makes you sleep at night, freedom fighter.

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 2:47 AM

Facts are hard for you, I know.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:50 AM

I didn’t claim that there was anything but one result for each, you imbecile. Go back and read what I said again. I said that I typed it in and found results from two of the biggest racist sites on the web, and that’s fact. You seem to be implying that I said they were the ONLY results.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:40 AM

And finding those results mean what exactly?

You are a dishonest punk. You implied its use at Stormfront and VNN means anyone who uses it must be a racist and probably a member of both sites. Hell, you’ve already said you suspect a lot of people on Hot Air are members.

The first time I heard the phrase was from Hispanic citizens who were angry with illegal immigration taking their jobs. Hell, I heard it on a DoE job-site, by my boss who was Hispanic and talking about illegal immigration when he was working in Texas.

Get a grip and stop seeing Racist People everywhere.

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 2:56 AM

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:50 AM

Reported.
This is obnoxious, annoying and childish and has to stop!

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 2:56 AM

Facts are hard for you, I know.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:50 AM

Not really, show me some, animator! The facts as I have seen them and read about them seem to be open and shut. The DOJ originally won the case then dropped all charges. Then the the whistleblower quit so he could speak freely about what happened. Then Narutoboy came in and within 5 posts turned into a Southern racist, Confederate Flag carrying something. You come across as a racist to me, sorry if that offends. You have straw men arguments, some platitudes to seem like a conservative, and then you go off the cliff about racism. What I do not understand is why? Just say you are liberal, you would be met with much more respect in my mind.

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 2:58 AM

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 2:56 AM

In case you don’t know, “wet-back” IS a racist term. Didn’t need to imply anything. That is a well known fact.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:58 AM

Heck, I first learned the term in Middle School in South East New Mexico, used by Hispanics to insult the children of illegals.

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 2:58 AM

I’d also like to think Hot Air is not a place for lunatics talk about their crazy, unfounded theories on interracial marriage.

My views are far from “lunatic,” I can assure you.
And I was on a thread wherein natural law was a large part of the relevant discussion.
Try doing that sometime, how about it?

And you have a lot of nerve.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:49 AM

Oh, you have the “nerve” market cornered, treating HA as if it were you personal “attack Whitey” forum.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 3:00 AM

What I do not understand is why? Just say you are liberal, you would be met with much more respect in my mind.

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 2:58 AM

I don’t respect you and wouldn’t want your respect even if offered. You’re blatantly dishonest; a liar; a maroon, yes, maroon. Worse, you quoted and agreed with a blatant distortion of what I had actually said. That’s like, double stupidity.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:00 AM

Oh, you have the “nerve” market cornered, treating HA as if it were you personal “attack Whitey” forum.

Jenfidel on July 9, 2010 at 3:00 AM

No, no, no, they’re pretty crazy.

What other theories do you have? We’ve covered your whacky theories on interracial marriage, which were borderline separatist. Any theories on minorities specifically?

Naruto, you punk ass twerp. Even Hispanics use that term. I heard it from them. They used it against illegals all the time. I learned its real usage. I also learned to dress it up with Spanish profanity.

Me and Hispanic friends would drive-by farms and shout La Migra just to watch the illegals scatter.

So when you say

That looked like a predominately black neighborhood. If Bubba was to do that down where Duke served, I doubt much would happen to him either. Blame your inability to be openly racist on your ancestors who tormented every minority group there is.

Narutoboy on July 6, 2010 at 10:25 PM

What does Bubba mean? Could it be a very derogatory meaning for a white person from the South? How is that any different from the “N” word which would not be tolerated around here for good reason! You have shown yourself to be obstinate in this area even with hostorical and current facts being presented to you. In that post you are basically saying since it is a “predominately black neighborhood” it is ok to intimidate white voters and then paint the South (via your Duke comment) to be racists as they would let it go as well if it was whites doing it against blacks. You are full of it!

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 3:11 AM

Me and Hispanic friends would drive-by farms and shout La Migra just to watch the illegals scatter.

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 3:09 AM

It doesn’t matter where you heard the term, you dumb@ss. It is a racist term. The fact that some blacks use a variant of the n-word, doesn’t mean “er” isn’t racist.

Go into one of those anti Arizona “profiling” rallies, announce yourself as a tea partier and use the term “wet-back.” Go ahead. You won’t? B-b-but your Hispanic friends said it!

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:12 AM

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 3:11 AM

You’re an idiot. Comparing the use of “Bubba” to the n-word. Wow, speaks for itself.

On to your other crap…

No, I did not “basically” say that. I was talking about how and why one would be perceived differently than the other. I didn’t say I supported that fact.

You are seriously reading challenged.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:15 AM

Me and Hispanic friends would drive-by farms and shout La Migra just to watch the illegals scatter.

So I am a dark red chestnut color or I am fugitive runaway slave in the West Indies. Or am I both? What exactly did you mean by Maroon?

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:15 AM

Hey they were your words, not mine. What does Bubba mean when you use it then? You seem to use it a lot when talking about the South. Also still waiting for what you meant by calling me a Maroon.

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 3:24 AM

Well, another long boring episode of As the Stomach Turns staring Boy Naruto.

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 3:24 AM

Wrong. I’ve rarely ever typed those words, “Bubba.” In fact, that may have been the very first time. It’s a nickname, a name even former President Clinton goes by. Only at Hot Air do the members find a problem with Bubba, somebody’s nickname, and not “wet-back.”

Only at Hot Air.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:30 AM

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:12 AM

Dude, those ‘Profiling’ rallies are run by over-socialized PC sensitive punks like you. Just being a Tea Party type would probably get this Tortilla folded into a nice Taco shape.

Wetback is a derogatory term when applied to all Hispanics. I will agree with that. But, when it is applied to Illegals? When it is an accurate statement?

Like Redneck and White Trash, sometimes they are accurate statements.

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 3:32 AM

“site:hotair.com hotair.com narutoboy bubba” (Google)

I use the name so much yet I see it nowhere. Interesting.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:33 AM

Only at Hot Air.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:30 AM

You lower the intellectual property value of this web site so much that the Federal Government should give Hotair a no interest disaster relief loan.

Tav on July 9, 2010 at 3:34 AM

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:12 AM

Is White Trash racist? How about Redneck? Sometimes such statements are accurate.

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 3:36 AM

Obama golfs while Arizona is invaded.

Obama golfs while Louisiana is flooded with oil.

Obama golfs while Hotair goes to the dogs.

Tav on July 9, 2010 at 3:37 AM

Only at Hot Air.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:30 AM

To paraphrase from Christie “You don`t have to come here!”

And yes, you disparage the South all the time, we have had this argument a long time ago and your attitude has not changed one bit. Still awaiting what you meant by calling me a “MAROON”? Is it a color thing or were you calling me an escaped slave in the West Indies? Do you have another meaning for it?

bluemarlin on July 9, 2010 at 3:39 AM

I don’t doubt that that’s something you do.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:17 AM

I learned it from them.

Holger on July 9, 2010 at 3:40 AM

Wow…so weird to see useful idiots like Narutoboy doing the bidding of our Divider in Chief Obama.
It’s all about racism. Bad White Men…Good all other races.
Obama invites, “African Americans, Hispanics, Women and Young People” to aid him in his quest for power. He does not invite, most conspicuously, old White Men or Old Asian men…or any other old men. Just two races, women and young people. Obama the Divider.
He makes tax war on the rich. Ironic as he is now rich according to his own twisted standards.
Now the twit wants to share space tech with muslims. Yeah. there y’ go. Let’s cut North Korea out of the picture and provide Iran? Syria?…with missile technology so they can deliver nuclear weapons worldwide. The number one task for NASA is to reach out to the muslim world? Idiocy…just the latest one.
And Narutoboy…The Billy Goats Gruff miss you. They can’t go on with the story without you. With no Troll under the bridge…the story is kinda boring…just goats traveling. You revealed your ignorance to me once too often for me to take anything you excrete on to these pages seriously. You are merely an annoyance for anyone that knows the depths of your biased bigotry. But do bark on, just don’t expect me to bark back. I don’t bark back at barking dogs. That would be ignorant.

Army Brat on July 9, 2010 at 3:40 AM

This thread turned into utter trash and stupidity.

Whoever is running HotAir, I have had enough, week after week.

cane_loader on July 9, 2010 at 4:04 AM

To be fair, Narutoboy was attacked in this thread before he started going after others. Which isn’t to say that he didn’t deserve the attacks, based on his conduct in other threads, but it’s not his fault for this particular thread degenerating.

Having said that, now that we’re hip deep in trash anyway…

And what’s wrong with flying the confederate flag? I mean, I know what’s wrong with it. The majority at Hot Air don’t seem to have a problem with it. It’s just about state’s rights, right?

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 12:17 AM

Let me help you out. The flag is the symbol of the Confederacy. The confederacy stood for slavery, and for states rights. Some people fly the flag out of support for slavery, while many others see it as a symbol for states’ rights.

While no one here supports slavery, many also do not support the much more dubious stated rational of Lincoln for the war, which was not to free the slaves, but to hold the union together at all costs.

Many black people, as well as other liberals, find the flag offensive – they have a much more negative view of the confederacy – for black people, this likely has to do with the fact that it was black people who were enslaved, making the slavery aspect of the flag understandably hit home, whereas for liberals, it is more that states’ rights have pretty much no meaning to them. In both cases, this leads to a view that the confederate flag symbolizes slavery.

Most people here would say “Slavery = Bad, States rights = Good”. Views differ as to what the flag represents, and therefore whether it is good or bad, or somewhere in between. Since it means different things to different people, it is unfair to accuse someone of flying it when they don’t – that doesn’t mean it’s inherently wrong to fly it, just means not everyone wants to get involved in that debate.

None of that should be very hard to grasp, and I think most people here understand it almost intuitively. But you seem a little slow, so I figured I’d offer my assistance.

To be fair, Narutoboy was attacked in this thread before he started going after others. Which isn’t to say that he didn’t deserve the attacks, based on his conduct in other threads, but it’s not his fault for this particular thread degenerating.

RINO in Name Only on July 9, 2010 at 5:33 AM

It doesn’t matter who was attacked first because N-boy did plenty of attacking first on his own.
Whether or not anyone deserves the attacks is entirely beside the point, given that personal attacks are an invalid way of arguing a political position.
I’m sorry, but it is largely his fault that the thread degenerated and stayed degenerated.
He literally would not shut up and stop it after multiple entreaties, warnings and efforts to get him to do so.
And the Confederacy, its flag and the appropriateness of brandishing this flag are not even close to being on the topic of this thread.
I’m with cane loader: Enough is enough.

Gee Jenfidel I had no idea you made such a comment back in Feb about interracial kids. And you ask for NB to be banned??
At least now I understand what you are really all about.

It really doesn’t matter what the guy said. No other networks will talk to him…so he goes on FOX. Game over. He is just a disgruntled guy being used.

CWforFreedom on July 9, 2010 at 7:22 AM

Evidently there were some people smoking crack here in the wee hours of the morn.
What a miserable thread bcs of a few stupid trolls.
I will add my 2 cents here (but sorry-I don’t happen to have any video for proof right now):
1. The Confederate flag is not racist. It was a battle flag. But of course there are those who will argue that since Southerners were all racist that the flag is too bcs they fought on the ‘wrong side’ in the civil war (which did not really have the priority for fighting for slave freedom). Those arguments are nothing but empty vessels for the insertion of racist propaganda (the re-qriting of history).
2. Flying a foreign country’s flag over public property, while never being allowed to fly Old Glory, is nothing short of treasonous. But I suppose there are many who would argue that Old Glory is racist, like the Stars & Bars. Whatever.
3. I suspect voter fraud is why BO & many in Congress were elected in the 1st place. Dead men don’t tell , though. And I doubt we’ll get any video on that.
4. IMHO Batman sucks (anime also sucks-& is deeply disturbing on so many levels. It is truly for femmy boys & girly girls). DC sucks. Marvel rules. Nuff said.
5. Red Dawn remake? SWEET! However, this time they should, instead of Russians, use muslims, or militant illegal mexicans.
6. And to the main point of this thread:
Voter fraud is serious business. And it should be of NO surprise to anyone that the current admin is quietly choosing not to enforce laws that hinder getting the illegal (convicts,dead,illegal aliens, chinese lobbyists-jk! etc.) vote.
I would say that this is the one area in America that we cannot be silent on.
It is why BO wants amnesty for illegals.
I still can’t figure why Bush wanted amnesty.
The bottom line is, we have way too many laws in this country that are stupid & insane.
The laws that need enforced are not.
The laws that do not need enforced, often are, but very selectively.
I see selective enforcement in many areas, not just voting.
The moment we Americans wake up in the morning & walk out the door, we are breaking laws we have no idea we are breaking as we go about our daily lives in honesty.
The govt has made us all criminals in one way or another.
We have to reign in the govt beast.
If we don’t, this wonderful Republican (NOT democratic) experiment is over.
And I will weep (if I’m not dead).

They are emboldened. They openly defy all of us, even their own voting block.
They feel they are invincible.
But sooner or later, thieves & criminals do get caught when they can’t stop sticking their hand in the cookie jar.

Bradky on July 9, 2010 at 8:19 AM

I have no idea what Jenfidel said about interracial marriages.
So I will cut to the chase here.
Race means NOTHING.
It is nothing but an inbred gene pool, separted from other gene pools in the human race.
And inbred is not a bad thing like people make it out to be.
It’s just a reduction in genetic diversity.
But people are also genetically predispositioned to consider ‘race’,those that do not look like them, bcs it’s in our DNA to do so.
Perhaps it’s a survival mechanism.
You’ll note that despite the relatively porous borders many countries of the world have, there is not wholesale mixing of the races.
It is a mix of cultural differences, as well as genetic.
In the end, it means nothing.
I am a white woman who grew up, oftentimes, in places where I was the minority.
I never considered race anything important.
But in my experience, having lived up & down & back & forth all throughout the lower 48, I can say that the majority of racism I have seen has come from those who do nothing but cry racism in the news, i.e. blacks & hispanics.
My experiences w/ blacks & hispanics is significant, as well as Vietnamese, Ukrainian, German, & other immigrant groups.
IOten if you ignore racist crap, it will go away.
Unlike the trolls here.

Badger40 on July 9, 2010 at 8:40 AM

Badger40 on July 9, 2010 at 8:40 AM

This is what she said.

When you look at what results from interracial marriages like the Precedent, Tiger Woods and the murder of Nicole by O.J. Simpson, I have to wonder if those “natural law” advocates didn’t have a point.

It is the slow Marxist takeover of the nation from within. They’ve targeted minorities and the government, as well as other institutions, as means of execution.

If it’s true, then that’s pretty $hitty.
Just as bad as Narutoboy when he rants about southerners.
I have no use for any of it.

In case you don’t know, “wet-back” IS a racist term. Didn’t need to imply anything. That is a well known fact.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 2:58 AM

As a wetback myself, let me say that yes, it is a racist term.

is the original link to the comment.

As far as race I think all races are equally capable of having racists. If a straight line percentage applies, as I think is likely, the part that is hard to swallow for some minorities is that they do have racists in their midst. But in the same vein the part that some in the predominant demographic sometimes have a hard time acknowledging is that by being the larger demographic, numerically there are more racists in that group than others.

Bradky on July 9, 2010 at 9:12 AM

How is homosexuality not a disorder? The primary function of sex is to reproduce, hence why males and females are born with specific body parts. If you have a penis and your attracted to another person with a penis…that’s a disorder.

Narutoboy on November 18, 2009 at 6:59 PM

Just to keep things even here…

Skywise on July 9, 2010 at 9:16 AM

Wrong. I’ve rarely ever typed those words, “Bubba.” In fact, that may have been the very first time. It’s a nickname, a name even former President Clinton goes by. Only at Hot Air do the members find a problem with Bubba, somebody’s nickname, and not “wet-back.”

Only at Hot Air.

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:30 AM

I googled the word “wrong” and among the results were several hate sites. Since the very first word of your post is one that appears at hate sites, you, by extension, must espouse their views and be guilty of “hating”.

John Deaux on July 9, 2010 at 9:16 AM

Narutoboy on July 9, 2010 at 3:30 AM

Now I don’t have any video,& to be honest, just bcs a person can’t immediately ‘Google’ something one of us said, does not mean it was, or was not said.
My personal experience reading your posts over time is that you hate southerners with a passion & anyone you deem to be a ‘redneck’. I don’t need to ‘Google’ anything about it bcs I’ve read these things for myself & whenever I read anything you say, that is the thought that comes to my mind that personifies who you are to me: White Southern-hater.
You seeth hatred for this group of people.
And that makes you no different than any other ‘racist’ you puport to despise.

Badger40 on July 9, 2010 at 9:23 AM

Uh, am I in the wrong thread here? Shouldn’t we be discussing the DOJ?

You are on the wright thread. Unfortunately, there are individuals that come on Hot Air for the sole purpose of hijacking threads and derailing the discussion of the thread’s subject. They are bitter individuals craving attention.

The DOJ’s intentional suppression of the enforcement of the law will be traced back to not only the AG, but the POTUS as well, if the bipartisan investigation is allowed to continue.
