How is anything I stated at all racist or even eluding to race in any way? I do not think that the idea of the government programs like SS are inherently entitlements, it is in their execution that they are majorly flawed. The entitlement generation i mentioned does not even refercto the programs themselves but how they are being abused by those who use them. How about you read and fully comprehend my post before you respond with an ignorant comment.

Actually it means I would want Ron Paul as president as he is not completely clouded abd consumed with conservative religious values and is focused on downsizing government.

Racism is racist. Or are you saying that Brainy is making things up about you?

I do not think that the idea of the government programs like SS are inherently entitlements,
Okay, so what are entitlements in your opinion then? The classic Republican line is that Social Security et al are entitlements.

it is in their execution that they are majorly flawed.
In what way are their execution majorly flawed?

HOW ARE THEY BEING ABUSED?!? Give details, stop using vague references and statements that could mean anything

How about you read and fully comprehend my post before you respond with an ignorant comment.
How about you actually include enough details in your post to be able to comprehend what you are trying to get at, instead of a ton of vague references and statements that could mean quite literally anything? You've given us little to go on except for generic anti-government statements and are trying to call me out on trying to get you to define what you actually mean.

However, I fully realize that at this point in time his platform will not win so I choose to vote for the most likely candidate to win an oust Obama without subsequently ------- everything else up in the process

But only Ponzi and Maddoff were arrested. FDR got off the hook.

Brain I really hope you're just trolling with the accusations of racism and don't actually believe what you just said. Seeing as how I don't know you I can't effectively read your tone so I am not sure either way

You know, this feels weird and totally opposite my normal position. But I'm asking for your opinion, not what sources say. Having sources back up your opinions is wonderful, but unless the sources are something you wrote, they don't interest me that much.

I just want to say I am 100% with you Ryan G, I agree with everything you have said so far, and I think blaen is smoking crack and looking for a fight.

Brain was just playing with you about the racist comment, you obviously stated nothing of the sort. I look forward to seeing this debate continue!!

BTW, do you has turbo miata ryan g?

Ok my lunch break will be soon and I will go into detail on my opinions without sources. Yes I have a turbo miata. 2005 mazdaspeed that i picked up a few months ago. I am just starting toget into actually working on it. I installed the MR SS kit last night and loved it on the drive to work. It completely changed the character of the shifter. Purchased 650cc injectors and should be having a local shop make a custom exhaust and shielded intake in a few weeks.

I actually am interested to hear your opinions. In some ways, they mirror mine identically - but it could be like Brainy. Brainy and my general opinions match very closely, but when we get into specifics, it's like oil hits the anus.

No I haven't started an intro or build thread yet but I was planning on starting it soon. Sadly I did not take pictures of the SS kit install for the beginning of the thread because I was in a hurry to install it and beat the rain. Now for my political opinions. I apologize if this gets lengthy.

I don't think Tubbs Santorum is going to ban anything food related.

When does the punchline drop from the GOP and when do "we" get our real candidate? Its a shame we are more responsive to restrictions on behavior rather than assuring freedom and rights. I'm really sad for this nation, its too bad there is no better alternative.
