In Re: New York, my only regret is that I am forced to subsidize these morons who vote against their own (and the country’s) interests and put the tax-raisers in office.

As long as state and local taxes are deductible from federal taxable income, taxpayers in lower tax states are subsidizing the prolific spending and taxing in the high tax (“dark blue”) states.

They’re welcome to tax themselves to death if they want to, I just don’t want to have to pay for their folly when I have no vote in their state.

The smart New Yorkers will probably do what Gilbert Gottfried did when his girlfriend asked him to “kiss me where it smells bad.”

He drove her to Jersey.

I mean why is it impossible for so many people with IQs above room temperature to distinguish between being anti-immigrant and anti-illegal immigration?

In other words, who the hell told you that Republicans give rat’s hairy @$$ what color your skin is? Are you an American? Are you in America legally? If the answer to any one of these questions is yes, then it doesn’t matter if the color of your skin is green with pink polka-dots.

And as for science, we’re not apologizing for believing that skepticism still has a role to play in science – we believe any branch of scientific inquiry that launches demonization campaigns against skeptics is no longer scientific. Republicans are not going apologize for believing that Al Gore is not a scientist.

Here’s some advice you stupid sheep-brained idiot (and I mean this in the most affectionate way) – put down the damn New York Times. Stop listening to fools who have never met a Republican or social conservative in their lives tell you what we think, how we think and the way we live.

Why don’t you find out for yourself? Go talk to a Republican with an open mind and find out what’s real and what’s not. No, we do not wish to send homosexual individuals to concentration camps. No, we do not want all non-Christians to have their citizenship revoked. No, we do not want to install cameras in people’s bedrooms to make sure they’re doing “it” right. No, we do not pour toxic chemicals into lakes and rivers for fun. No, we do not want to bring back slavery. No …

In other words, stop assuming you know a damn thing about Republicans. It’s obvious you’ve never met one, spoken to one or perhaps even seen one before.

Get that done first before trying to enlighten us with the “benefit” of your ignorance.

Rs are NOT anti-immigration. We’re mostly all for immigration. It’s the illegal part we just can’t seem to get past. If somebody is willing to break the law once to better your life situation, what are the chances (s)he’d be willing to do it again?

Denial of science? You must be one of those chowderheads who pretends that those scientists who hold their beloved “model” as the end all be all of scientic thought are the last word on climate change. Awesome. And those individuals — the one’s, by the way, who actually deal in climatology — who have come out againt global warming? Are they not scientists?

The “host of other inflexible positions” — you mean, like, Capitalism, the Constitution, the freedom to own what you make or earn? Those “inflexible positions”?

Give me a break, and don’t be so damned disingenuous. You don’t vote Republican for no other reason than because to do so goes against your own political beliefs. So, pretty please, don’t try to sell us on the tired old “I’d really like to, but…” crap. It’s been done, and overdone.

But, if you want an honest conversation, Troll, please, fire away.

Give a reputable link to back up any of your completely idiotic assertions. Just one will be fine. I won’t hold my breath.

They happen to be Republicans, too.

So now that we’ve established that melanin levels have no bearing on political affiliation, please inform us: why are you using it as an excuse to hate people? Next post, please.

… I am quite amused at your lack of understanding regarding Republican positions. Not only am I brown-skinned, but my last name is Aziz. My parents came here from Bangladesh (East Pakistan), a Muslim country. I was born in Schenectady, NY, and I grew up in the suburbs of DC. From my first-hand experience, I can assure you there are no anti-immigration policies advocated by Republicans. Anti-ILLEGAL-immigration is a different matter entirely. As it should be.

Denial of science is always a curious statement coming from “the debate is over” liberals and Democrats. When a group of people use the word “consensus” in a statement regarding science, I know where the actual denial is. By the way, the make-up of my brown-skinned family looks like this:
Father – mechanical engineer
me (oldest son) – computer scientist
sister #1 – physicist
sister #2 – electrical engineer

As for the “host of other relatively inflexible positions”; that’s a blanket statement. There are some things with which good people must not compromise, so many of those “inflexible” positions are likely quite appropriate.

a WELL deserved big old tax from your state and local governments I sure hope they don’t break you well yes I do so you will start looking at the Republican Party in a more focused view as opposed to the crap you just typed.

I as an American Indian woman have NEVER been discriminated against in this party but you don’t really care about that do you? You are intellectually dishonest in your assessment of Republicans and WE don’t play silly racist games that is for your party sir!

If you really had a problem with last night’s posts on “Earth Hour”, you wouldn’t be posting here against those comments. You just burned up your carbon footprint for the week. I’d say you should take some time off dude to “save the planet.”

.. is the Science you deny…. The Earth STOPPED the warming trend many years ago now!

As I type, it is again SNOWING here…. Sure, not proof of anything perse’…. but since you morons can and do use any warm weather to argue your moronic positions… well… you know…. I hope I won’t have to shovel this Global Warming currently covering my lawn and sidewalk (probably won’t amount to anything).

what a pinhead:

Because you couldn’t bring yourself to vote with us bigoted, cretinous Republicans, you aren’t going to be well off much longer.

Ain’t that a hoot?

start here: Obama to push Global Warming agenda (despite the current science) and then try ICCC discussions for starters. I have no doubt you think it is Warming considering where you’ve parked your Head!

Texas, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, and other points East and North. Where are the New Yorkers going besides Florida? (rhetorical question)

I wonder if the other 48 (or is it 55?) states will be able to accommodate the influx of tax refugees.
