>>>>>>Not just angry white people but angry middle and older aged white people. Look up the demographics and get back to me, OK?

>>>>>And why, exactly, does that make their concerns or anger invalid? If one were to characterize a protest as "just a bunch of angry young black people" would that make their concerns not worth considering?

>>>>>If you have issues with their issues, fine, but you are arguing against *who* they are, not what they believe.

>>>>I am arguing against what they believe. It sure aren't the principles this country was founded on.

>>>This country was founded upon the notion of less government, less taxes, and free enterprise.
>>>
>>>Obama and the democrats are diametrically opposed to all three.

>>That is a complete misunderstanding of our founding principles. Our founders put a lot of thought into what form of government the new country should have. There were differences between them, Jeffersonians vs. Haliltonians, but none of them believed we should just run around like hillbillies. They established a very strong government with three branches, federal powers and state powers, on and on.

>(and oh so sensitive arbiter of racism and prejudice that you are I am quite surprised you have no problem with "hillbillies" as an epithet. It was a pack of those hillbillies - including my ancestors - who fought the revolution that allowed the great experiment to even happen.)

Your terrible ancestors used guns! Bad Ancestors. Bad Bad Bad.
