Slart, according to that article, one ignorant representative is upset.  How does that mean "the GOP is angry?"  Confused

^Also, why can't white people have white-only meetings when black people and hispanic people and all other peoples have black-only or hispanic-only or whatever-only meetings all the time?

Cite examples or STFU.  Last time I checked the NAACP didn't lynch anyone.

STFU? That's what you do with those who don't agree with you? You're getting worse every day...

Who said anything about lynching?

The very fact that a NAACP exists shows you there are even organizations for specific races or ethnicities or whatever. But if there was a NAACaucasianP (or something like that) you would cry racism to the top of your lungs... Tsk tsk tsk.

By the way I'm hispanic, just in case you want to throw the KKK hood on me.

That's why it annoys me when places like Hooters get sued for not hiring men etc.

This is so beautifully ironic. A lot of these Christian conservatives need to get out of their insular life and realize they're not the only people in the world. It might widen their perspectives and help rid them of their idiocy.

It is true ya know Slart.
Joking/over the top points aside.

A whites only group can never happen.

They can sit around sipping tea and discussing King Crimson for all it matters, it'd be viewed with bad gazes...
But there is no problem for a (insert minority group) only?
Now, honestly I have zero problem with that...what I have a problem with is the mentality. EVERYBODY wants a right for themselves only.... What's so hard to get about: If one group can have exclusive rights, why can't all? (Yes, as long as they are non violent, which is obvious but I know if I dont say it you will make me anyway) or NO ONE can.

We can't pick and choose who has rights. Something many "liberals" dont get in the year 2012. It seems not just christian conservatives have a selfish mentality. Difference is they want rights for themselves and no one else, liberals are slightly better and want rights for some, just not allTongue

But really, it's ridiculous. Rights for all or none, we can't cherry pick. Is that hard to grasp?

Why do you say Christian conservatives want rights for themselves and no one else? I think that's a little unfair.

I'm surprised Fox News hasn't reported this as "Obama murders elderly grandma in preparation for his death panels."
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Give O'Reilly and Hannity time. They'll find some way to link him to the smoking gun. Teddy Nugent will most likely come out on this as well. I like how he is linking the SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare on how the North won the Civil War and by doing so has driven the country into the ground.

Even if it was deemed Constitutional, it may still be an awful idea in practice.

^Wouldn't it be great if millions of people just decided not to bother paying the "tax"? There would be literally nothing they could do about it.

Speaking of "whites only" groups, I wonder if the Masons allow minorities to join?
I don't know much about them but I was just curious.

African-Americans had their own lodges developed by Prince Hall. They're considered legit by Freemasons. Freemasons also allow minorities to join at the present.

Well, I'm out of guesses.
Maybe the KKK is the only "whites only" group (are we really sure about them?)

There's definitely more than the KKK. I'm not sure why it matters though.

  Nothing, other than when vital government services are no longer provided due to lack of revenue some people might actually miss them.
