Now if only it were possible for mainstream America to accept those points. The first half dozen are fantastic. And I've had more than a few arguments with people and used almost the same exact words in the one about "Political Correctness"

Did Rooney really say that on national tv?Did anyone actually see it?I had read this same thing last year.I think....
I thought it was dispelled as some kind of urban myth. I could be wrong.

I saw this coming from either you or buckman.

I say it all the time on here... while I argue mostly for the left, there's a large number of things I absolutely do not agree with. Where I disagree most with the Dems are on social issues.

Here's a few to rock your world:
-Minorities... I'm sick of "Minority Status" meaning "deserving of special treatment"
-Contrary to some thinking I'm on the side of taking everyone's guns away, I'm pro guns. In the other thread, I just don't believe there is a need/purpose for Assault Weapons in the hands of the public.
-Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts... Again with the special treatment. If women want to be treated as equals, then don't give me an attitude because I didn't open the door for you while my hands were full of shopping bags. (Was yelled at by a random woman for this.)
-I have gotten in numerous "heated discussions" with some of my more liberal friends about English as a national language - more than a few triggered by trips to either DDs, a gas station, or a mini mart. Someone moves here and they want to function in this society, learn English. When I call Customer Service I should not have to "Press 1 for English." There shouldn't be a need for the option. People that have lived here for more than a few years have no excuse.
-And I could go on for days about my opinion of Political Correctness. People of America are supposedly a bunch of cowards because we can't talk about race. However, being a white male, I can't talk about race without being a racist, I can't talk about women or I'm a sexist.

/end rant

Thanks Jimmy for getting me fired up.

Did I hear my name mentioned?

So it's the " tax and spend" part, you agree with.
