Devil's Horse; if calling others biggots make you feel like any less of a racist or free of predjudice, i would think again. Honestly, I think your last post is the most racist and absurd post I have ever read on this site.

I think making an honest effort to remove racist, religious or ethnic stereotypes and barriers is not only noble, but is the cornerstone in a true democracy and civilized society. Comments like "fantasize about slapping the rag off his head" only show your ignorance.

No it is not true as you say "only white people can be racist", however it is true that only ignorant people can be racist.

Don't spread your hate on here.

Thanks for telling it like it is Col. Forbin................The alert button will probably be hit anytime..............by one of them.............

The funny (sad funny) thing about it is that Obama is of mixed race....just like every one of us.

It's time for race to stop being an issue since people can't even define what they truly are.

Thanks Col, but I sure hope you interpret and teach the textbooks better than you interpret posts. Funny, I didn't read where I called anyone a bigot.

Absurd eh? Hope I didn't hit a nerve.

Your tolerance is admirable Col, mine less so. So happens I got stuck in another country when 9/11 happened. Air travel to the U.S. was suspended and nobody could get in for a while. I sat next to a table of middle easterners laughing about the attack the night after it happened. Almost went to jail in a foreign country over that one, 'cept for this Australian guy who helped me out. BTW, It you're out there somewhere, thanks again Mate, I owe you big time. It is nice to know one the great satan's cornerstones is tolerance.

PL worrying about the alert button? Let me go back and read that again...yep he said it. One of who? Those out to get you? The evil ones?

I do agree the post was way over the top. My sincere apologies to Andrew and JCB, my comments were uncalled for. In fact as I read it, the whole tone is way too inflamatory. I'll try and tone it down heretofore.

Sorry to say that will never happen. I don't care if it does either because we will see a balanced budget, a woman president and donkeys fly first. It's a pipe dream. It's a part of who we are, people gravitate and or like their own comfort zone. My wish is people would stop acting like it doesn't exist or that it's taboo to admit it exists. It will play a HUGE role in this election and I think it will cost Barry the presidential race. JMO

Before any of you decide in your mind that I'm some sorta of racist come to my place of work and ask any of the fellows that work under me. I've hired Blacks, Chinese, Vietnamese, Mexicans, Guatamalians, Cubans, Polish, Iranians, had a couple from Pakistan, and the list actually goes on. I had 4 Iranians working on our night shift and upon request gave them permission to practice their religious ceremony on their rugs each night at a certain time. This is when they said it was imparitive for them to do so, therefore I not only allowed it I made a special break time for them to do it. These same 4 individuals could speak fluid English however after about 3 or 4 months they began to speak only in Iranian language amongst each other and was making my night shift supervisor uneasy. During the Clinton term when the basement parking lot was bombed at the World Trade Centers, they were extremely ramped up one night. My night supervisor called me at home at the brink of tears, whom by the way IS NOT in any way a racist bigot said they were gathered and laughing and wouldn't do as he was directing them to do. He asked them again to please speak English so that he could understand what was going on. After he had insisted this and agravated two of them they proceeded to tell him how the bombing the day before was a good thing and that America deserved it and we were only getting exactly what we deserved. I told him to fire their monkey asses on the spot and I would get fired from my at that time 18 year job to defend him for what he did. He did fire them and I was proud of him for doing so. I say all that to say this. I am not a racist and right now my shop is absolutely full of minorities and they are treated with the same dignity and respect that everyone else is. In fact it's the young white American male that I can't seem to hire anymore, because they don't apply for one thing, and the other is 90% of them are so lazy they need help to tie their own shoes. It's this liberal anything goes bull crap that this liberal society that pedals that have made them that way to. No accountability for their actions in the schools, all this individualism crap, and nobody can tell you what to do junk. When I went to school and we got out of line the teacher took us in the hall and warmed our rear end with a 2x6 that had holes drilled in it. If I went home and told my Mom or Dad what the mean ole teacher did to me, the first thing out of their mouth was, did you deserve it, and if so I might have got another rear busting. We were expected to have respect for people in authority, such as teachers, adults, policeman, men of the cloth and so on. NO I'm not a racist but when I watch my fellow Americans, my brothers and sisters, the ones I'm loyal to get blown up just because they don't like the way we look or act, that gives me the dang right to see Muslims in any light I choose. I choose not to trust them and if that offend some of you I really don't give a crap. I'm done and my your lines be tight this weekend.

Who acts like it doesn't exist? It's mentioned everywhere. I hope people do stop acting like it exists because I feel it doesn't exist anymore. Everyone is an individual and everyone is of mixed race. Those who think different are being naive.

Now Mark don't let your ignorance show and spread your hate on here. When are you going to come out of the dark ages and embrace the Muslims? After all they only want to be our friends, and they like us so much the least we can do is not stereotype them.

BTW, for the record 4 Iranians making those comments to me after 9/11 would've toted home more than just their checks when I fired them. You can call that hate if you want, I call it the truth. Maybe I'm part of what's wrong in this country, then again maybe those who would sit there and 'tolerate' that kind of thing are.

A lot of people feel race shouldn't be an issue, but you ever notice who keeps bringing it up? Jesse, Al and company make a living off it, and they are immune to any serious repercussions for their mistakes. Most any notable black person is, you criticize them and sooner or later you're labeled a racist. Happens every single time.

BO's campaign just played the race card about a political ad that had absolutely nothing racist in it. By the time November rolls around the subtle message his supporters want out there is if you don't vote for Obama you're a racist. Interesting his followers are so tolerant and want racism gone, while the BO campaign will play the race card many more times before he loses the election.

Another thing I've noticed, is anyone who stops walking on eggshells and tells it like it is, anyone who disagrees with the liberal crap dealt out in our schools and by the media immediately gets the ignorant tag hung on them.

You criticize Muslims, whose radical sects are comprised of people willing to die to destroy our country and you're spewing hate.

You're in line at the airport and watch an old lady get searched while 3 middle easterners pass right through. Can't let common sense override tolerance and stereotype anyone now can we? That would be hateful.

Newsflash Col, I'll spread my opinions anywhere I want anytime I want. You calling them absurd, ignorant, and hate does not negate them. Tolerance may in fact be a cornerstone of our democracy, but the willingness to stand up for our country and our beliefs are the reason we're here. You embrace the Muslims, I'll keep a wary eye on them. We'll let history decide which of us is absurd.

[psprowler]

Ever notice how those who preach "tolerance" never show any towards those that are "intolerant"?

[mhall]

Jim just to clarify the Iranian incident did not happen after 9/11 it was the first semi-botched attempt on the World Trade Centers during the Clinton Administration.

[Devils Horse]

Gotcha. Sorry for the misinterpret, but the 4 of them laughing about any terrorist attack and saying we deserved it would elicit the same reaction far as I'm concerned. Hard to yuck it up with a boot lodged in the main vent.

I really am a peaceable and pretty good guy. I go out of my way not to hurt anyone, and try to treat others with tolerance and respect regardless of their skin color. But the line has to be drawn somewhere. Coddling and embracing a group of people sworn to our destruction, and who've been purposely slaughtering innocent people all over the globe for the last 35 years is well across it. Sorry, that's for kinder, gentler, less ignorant people than me.
