Do you realize how this sounds?

And from your post(s), you don't seem very happy about it.
Do you speak of the same disdain towards the rest of the candidates? Yes? No? If no, why not?

Show me the legislation that Obama is pushing that will have you directly funding the rest of the world.

I don't care how it sounds. I am an American. America comes first. Our poor come first. The rest of the world can help themselves or get OPEC to help. You are happy being taxed to death and working for 'the world' ... glad to hear it. I want no part of it.

Forcing them to support the planet is wrong. It's slavery.

In a sense, I think that is what we are all after. Equality.

but I dream of the day when we don't speak of "white", "black", "American", "Canadian", etc.
And you are in a position to speak of what slavery is?
C'mon now. I think to coin it "slavery" is a little dramatic.

Are you going to try to claim that only black people can speak of what slavery is? I hope not.
Originally posted by FlyersFan
You are welcome to think that. However, as far as I'm concerned, when people are forced to hand over almost all of their hard earned money to others just so that those non-working people can be supported - that's slavery.

You work.
Most all of your earnings are legally taken away to support others.
That's 'pretty' slavery.

I haven't been to any Obama threads lately.
Depends if lately in your vocabulary means the past 24 hours or so.
You're all over them.
Or, are you going to call it like it REALLY is instead?
Why don't you tell us how it really is? Obama zombie.
And I mean about the Obama campaign, not the "anti-Obamas". Obama is who we are talking about, right? So enlighten us why he is the superior and we must not tolerate those who oppose him.
Also. Are you African American?

Would you oppose a young child sharing his lunch with someone not as fortunate to be able to be given a lunch?
Originally posted by evilod
However, what I oppose, and what equates more to what FF is saying, is if one child has just enough lunch to feed himself and another child does not, a third child comes along and forces the first child to give a portion of his lunch to the second. Only, in our real world case, it is the IRS, with a gun in your side.
