Racist Religious Right at it again..

3maio, I find your signature link ironic. How you can list so much negativity about Christianity yet believe your piety is unmatched is beyond me.

Shining light on darkness is bad??? Those words were spoken by church fathers...

It's useless arguing party ideology.  You cannot change anyone on PH.  The best everyone can do, is poke fun of each other's party when something negative happens to one side or the other.

And no, I'm no brainwashed. Conservative ideals is why I think Senator Mee Moua no longer wants to be our representative in MN. On the one hand, we have conservative values we uphold (marriage, traditions, family values, for example). On the other, we only vote for the party of gays, liberals, and welfare-eating black people. You tell me who's brainwashed.

There's an excellent read from http://themilwaukeedrum.com/2011/04/18/liberalism-the-new-crack/ that explains this (even though the article is targeting blacks).

"... The system of dependence and futility built around black Americans needs them to survive.  It will not easily let them escape.  Black children find themselves trapped in a failing public education system, which has vast amounts of money and political clout available to keep the doors chained shut.  The District of Columbia Opportunity Scholarship voucher program for disadvantaged kids, which was shut down by the Obama Administration but may soon be re-authorized by Congress, enjoys 74% support from the community.  That didn’t stop Obama from killing it without any of his customary dithering or fanfare.
Black Americans have the misfortune to be one of the largest political collectives in the American electorate.  The Democrat Party depends on collecting 85% or more of a substantial black turnout for its political survival.  In order to keep these voters motivated and properly bundled, black leaders and white liberals sell a narrative of hopelessness.  That is the only logical conclusion to draw, when told that getting through life is impossible without the maternal protection of a vast government.  It’s the end result of denying there can ever be a permanent triumph over racism, and even temporary victory is impossible for individuals.  Only a desolate life could be shaped entirely by the hatred of others.
Hope flourishes in response to opportunity.  A decade of rapidly expanding government has crushed opportunity beneath its bulk, and this is especially devastating to the fragile hopes of underprivilege d minorities.  The cost of labor has been artificially increased.  Regulatory barriers have been placed before business formation.  Investment capital has been made scarce.  Even the dream of home ownership was cruelly perverted into a financial time bomb, which detonated when liberal ideology saddled eager minority homeowners with debts they could never repay.
The endless class warfare rhetoric of the Left teaches its clients to hate their own aspirations, and turn away in disgust from those they should be studying.  No greater disservice has ever been done to the poor than convincing them to make enemies of the people who might wish to hire them.  Replacing ambition with resentment is equivalent to handing a sledgehammer to a drowning man.
No deviation from liberal orthodoxy is allowed – the Left slanders no one as viciously as a black conservative.  The clients of liberalism are reduced to making increasingly angry demands for diminishing increases in a bankrupt quest for “social justice.”  Unacceptable results are protected by making alternative solutions unthinkable.  The result is a vicious cycle of political addiction.  Liberalism is the new crack. ..."

While we're on the topic of political party affiliations, I believe us Hmong people have more in line with the Republican view of self-perserverence, self-governence, and socially conservative. Why is it that we vote Democratic more than Republicans?

Republicans are strictly against many social programs that have helped many of us rise out of poverty. They also don't court the Hmong vote as much as the Dems do and they also don't do as much for the Hmong Community and Hmong issues as Dems do. Look at voting records for bills that have affected Hmong in this country, you'll find that Dems have done more in support of Hmong than Republicans.

And you speak for the entire Hmong Community now? Yeah maybe we're at odds with social issues, but financially Dems benefit us and Republicans don't. I also believe another pervasive Hmong attitude is "live and let live", thus we can be tolerant of gays and other ppl to an extent.

And before you say anything about the Bush bill giving citizenship to Secret War Vets, that was a bill written by Dems from WI and MN. Bush just signed it, he probably didn't even know he was signing it as it was most likely attached to several other provisions that he did want to sign.

You call those racist rants news???  Its obviously a propaganda attack disguised as news.  And you ate it up...  You're forgetting the poor don't vote, and there are more poor whites than poor blacks.

To be open minded is bad???  Being narrow minded is good???  What kind of values do you have??? Just a bunch of racist.  These are the people who would shoot you in the woods and claimed it was your fault.

When you are serious about solutions, we'll taught.
