i tell you what. go find some of those you referred to as scumbags who reminded you of post katrina, tell them what you wrote, and ask them how they feel about it. if they just say hey, it's cool, then i'll apologize for taking it the wrong way.

I looked again....can't find the word some anywhere in the post in question.

AMEN!!! sad thing, when the tax increases hit for upper level earners, that will be increases for those already on welfare. they think they are entitled to it, what do you think dealing with them will be like now?

Thanks!! I'm glad you see where I'm coming from. Maybe my Katrina analogy was a little too harsh, but the point I was trying to make was getting something for nothing. But, the bleeding hearted douchebags that are calling me a racist just don't seem to get it.

They're called white apologists.

Doesn't McCain know that almost all woman hate other woman?

Wow. I haven't been insulted like that since the late 1970's

Scavs, I'll admit it was a little harsh, but did you see the pictures in the papers and on TV? It was nuts. A welfare case living on your dime and my dime are fleecing the country we live in, and, at a very high price.

Contact those guys at ACORN. They may already have registered and voted for you. Check under your real name and the Scavs name too , they didnt seem too concerned about details.
