Angry White Men

[huntinman]

Funny. I was thinking about putting a few pictures of angry white men here too. You forgot Joe Biden,Harry Reid,Ed Schultz,Alan Grayson,Chris Matthews,David Letterman,Larry O'Donnel,.....too many to mention. I guess it's only bad to be angry if you disagree with a liberal.

Exactly right...

still the best avatar on RTF...

We do not need the goverment telling us what our values should be. They are learned at home.

I think that there should be mandatory work to receive the benefits. If they are not willing to look for a job, then they should be forced to do community service to earn those checks.

They will, however, have to fight the unions on that.

Example: Locally, here in my area, a group of Boy Scouts proposed a project to clean up a particular public parkland that the city did not have the manpower to keep up with. The union went up in arms because the Scouts would be interfering with work the union workers should get paid to do. The only thing that pulled the Scouts out of the hot water, and got the park cleaned up, was the justifiable public outrage at the union's stupidity. The city didn't then (and doesn't now) have the funds to hire any more workers to do all that needs doing ... without citizens volunteering the park land would still be a trash heap.

Sort of like the Alabama utility workers being turned away from NJ because they were non-union.

Haven't been paying enough attention to the news to know if those folks have power yet or not. (hope not)

I have said it before and I will say it again just for clarification. I live for today and make the most of everyday I am here. I don't worry about retiring because I will continue to work until the day I die. I've seen many people put off things they could do today until they retire. shortly after retirement, they pass on. then their family fights about the money and belongings. They really got to enjoy their retirement huh?

angry white men? angry white men? angry white men?

let us examine the fact that in national elections:

blacks and black men historically vote ~84% for anyone with a (d) behind their name. they vote >90% for any black man with a (d) behind their name.

i grew up in the rural south with arfican americans as a high percentage of my school mates, i have lived in some of the most diverse cities in the country, i live in a very sucessfully integrated southern small town. even now occasionally i still go to the park and play basketball with friends and neighbors. one thing i can tell you from near 50 years of constant observation is that the opinions of african americans are as diverse as any other demographic group......until election day.

hispanic men seem to vote ~74% for anyone with a (d) behind their name. i work with and employ hispanic workers today. in my interaction and observation of hispanics as a demographic group i see varied opinions and values.....until election day.

white women seem to vote~56% for anyone with a (d) behind their name. i spoke in agreement with memmon in a thread two months ago about what this demographic group was going to do in this immediate past election. and guess what?

young people......?

now poor little old, hard working, white guys line up and vote together at a rate of about ~54% behind a republican candidate. these men lose and say: don't tax the wealthy....they buy my products......i intend to be wealthy some day......you take the rewards of my work and pass it out as earned income tax credit......you spend money you don't have.......blah blah blah. they say this and they are called angry?

there are in fact plenty of angry demographic groups of voters. they all stick together in their voting regardless of their diverse values or the real issues at hand. in my opinion white men appear to be the least angry group. if they are angry they have a dang funny way of displaying it on election day.

For me, I hope they stay angry and keep their collective heads right where they are!

Can you say, "Hillary - 2016".

How many corporations vote?

Romney said that corporations are people.

Romney said that corporations are people.

So are ten year olds, but they don't vote. Now I'm not saying that corporations ARE people, but just being people is NOT enough to vote.
