I did.. and you started out with the same position I did-- the entire notion of "white pride" is ridiculous (but not Irish pride or Italian pride or Polish pride of Lebanese pride or whatever, in my view).
But then right after, you say:
"If you're really all hot and bothered with the fact that so-called white pride parades and the like are looked at as nakedly racist, take it up with the KKK or the Aryan Nation.
By this logic, one should be perfectly justified to consider all black people bad because a portion of the black community is repeatedly involved in violent criminal activity."
Mike, the only place I've even seen white pride mentioned, EVER, has been in this racist crap like site like Stormfront, or orgs like the KKK or neo-nazis.
What orginations are YOU talking about?
As for "
.. dude, about two-thirds of total welfare bbeneficiaries are children. Of the parents that are on welfare, close to two-thirds are disabled. So, at most, about one-fifth of AFDC beneficiaries are 'able-bodied' non-workers.
Welfare takes up about a grand total of 2 percent of the budget fedrally. Contrast that with about 22 percent for Social Security and around 18 percent (as of 05) for the military... plenty of middle-class and wealthy Americans also receive assitance in the form of tax deductions for home mortgages, corporate and farm subsidies, capital gains tax limits, Social Security, Medicare-- and yet there seems to be no stigma for that.
Again, I'll ask you to please watch your language-- I know you don't have to resort to name calling (though I've been a liberal since I was a teenager, and my philosphy is something I'm proud of. If I can be happily married to someone who's more libertarian in her outlook, and learn some things in the process,m and have done so without cussin' or name calling, I think you can too.)
