ReplyDeleteThe President is in Lewiston, Maine today, then heading to Rehoboth tonight for the weekend. So the protestors will be protesting in front of an empty White House?
ReplyDeleteBlacks in the United States comprise the most numerous prosperous, and free group of their race in the world. Thanks to the U.S. Constitution and free market capitalism.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome? Couple of silly things to thank given what most of us have studied and lived through over the years. If it makes you feel better about your contribution to our society, then OK. Thanks for Capitalism and our Constitution.
ReplyDeleteNot my contribution Shanel but the contribution of the founders and those who amended the Constitution including the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. That you call these two pillars of prosperity and freedom "silly" just shows that you have been miseducated and indoctrinated. If the U.S. and its economic system is so bad why is it that millions of folks risk life and limb every year to move here including millions of "people of color".
ReplyDelete@2:07 - Well said for a jaded conservative, denier of the true history of this country. Keep thinking those FOXNEWS facts, the rabbit hole to hell can be a hot ride.
ReplyDeleteWhy does everyone want to come here then genius?
