I'm a liberal, so I happen to believe that individuals are smart enough to sort out their issues as intelligent human beings. Unfortunately, when you see everything as either black and or white, as in "You're either with us or with the Terrorists" you will tend to miss the need for independent thought about complicated issues.
Only dittoheads and their ilk would see the rise of minority politicians of any party as being a "disaster" for the Dems or liberals. It's what we've fought for ever since you condemned the Civil Rights Act as a communist plot.

Wasn't it you who said something about silly name-calling?
You seem to have things backwards.
Liberal-progressives do not believe that individuals are smart enough to sort things out for themselves and want the populace to be dependent on government.
Conservatives believe in individual rights and the ability for each citizen to strive for success without government interference.
When a conservative black person does good and achieves success,
your ilk demeans them. Connie Rice was depicted as Aunt Jemima in liberal circles, yet affirmative action Obama is treated as a genius. Go figure. Justice Thomas is depicted as incompetent, yet race-baiting Al Sharpton is put on a pedestal. Go figure.
Arizona is just passing a law that is already on the books but not enforced by the feds.
What don't you understand about Illegal Immigrants?
Most people in Arizona are good people who have worked hard and obey the law all their lives. It is very disingenuous of you to say those things about the good people of Arizona.
