2. Gender. Historically humans have been born transgender, there are even references in the Bible and certainly there are several references in documents from thousands of years ago in Greece and Italy. Some people are born with what is called "intersex". Thanks to the media, this is only now a big deal. Intersex: The people born with both male and female genitalia
3. Pro choice. A million more babies are born every four days. It costs about $250,000 to raise a child on welfare to the age of 18. It's assumed (I don't know this to be true) that black babies are born out of wedlock more often than white and more likely to be on welfare. If one follows this logically, conservatives ought to welcome abortion since that would mean tax savings. Right? Also, it has been proven that sex education leads to less STDs and fewer abortions.
4. Rewrite American history. As a professional historian, I take issue with this one especially. Just "who" is "rewriting" history? You mean people like those in Texas schoolbooks which asserted that slaves were "imported workers" and Noah was a Founding Father? Let's hear more about that particular statement, with links to sources which are both scholarly and credible.
5. Entitlements are a right. Are you aware that the liberal states support the conservative states? It's true. For instance, California, with the sixth largest economy in the world, is taxed at a rate that supports several red states. And how about New York? How much does Kentucky or Mississippi contribute? Red States Are Welfare Queens - Business Insider
6. Equal opportunity vs. equal outcomes. I don't know where you're getting this. Can you post a credible source...and by that I mean a CREDIBLE source, in fact several sources. Let's not hear from JUST right wing sites.
7. Free speech. Hmm. Were you not the one who was protesting the NFL for exercising their right to free speech? |
1, No...we are NOT...we each have different ancestors...Negros lack ancestors that EVERYONE else got. 23 and me proved it.
2. Yes it is...as a dividing issue. They WANT us squabbling.
3. The MAJORITY of those million babies born are Hispanic who have been the majority for the last 7 years. The MAJORITY of those babies will be collecting welfare.
4. IF you truly were/are a "professional historian"...then you KNOW that "History"...is more accurately described as "His-Story". And you also know that "history" changes as the people change, as cultures change, as political leadership changes, as nations rise and fall.
5. States with big cities, large seaports...they have income, passive income, that inland, landlocked states do not have. It's like the golf course or lakefront homes in the villages cost more and generate more tax revenue. It's location more than "worth". Should those homeowners get 2 votes because they may pay twice as much in tax?
IF you look beyond the "taxes given vs received" and look at the OVERALL financial health of the various states...the RED states fare much better. The blue states are imploding under the weight of welfare, pensions, and other stresses.
6. Quotas. Every quota takes a job from a white male. A quota takes the 15th place finisher and "promotes" them to the 3rd place trophy position because of their gender or skin color. THAT is equal OUTCOME over equal opportunity.
7. There is NO "free speech"...only here...on this lonely forum can people really speak the truth. ONLY women and minorities have free speech.
