It's only fair, requiring a driver's license is a racist construct designed
fully to keep the minority population immobile. Minorities cannot afford
birth cirtificates, so they cannot drive to work, which is made even worse
because without a job they can't afford a car. White people don't have this
problem either because... Racism. Also cancer, cancer is a racist construct
designed to benefit white people. Since minorities can't get a photo id
because they're poor, andRacism. they are unable to buy cigarrettes, so
they don't get the luxury of lung cancer. So here's all these privileged
whites with lung cancer, getting to see oncologists. Oncologists are upper
tier healthcare practioners. It's all a racist construct to keep the darks
from getting to see upper tier practioners. Whitey is always devising ways
to keep the minorities down. Everybody deserves access to all eschelons of
healthcare That whole thing sounds as dumb as saying voter I'd is a
racist construct to suppress the colored vote.

Back a hunnert years or so ago, the guvmnt came to Utah, confiscated all the

One of the requirements for Utah to get into the union was to ensure that there 
was an equal two party system here.  So, Brigham Young had the local bishops 
draw a line down the middle of the congregation and told those on the left they 
were to be Democrats and those on the right Republicans.

+1.

California finally took the ability of the legislature to gerrymander away a 
couple years ago. As the legislature was heavily democratic, the belief was 
that the un-gerrymandered districts would become more balanced.

Unexpected was that the new un-gerrymandered districts became more democratic. 
I guess the legislature wasn't very good at how they gerrymandered. They're 
still trying to figure out how that happened, but it's pretty clear that the 
new districts are much more sane in the way they are  drawn.

I could go on and on but #fucktrump and #fuckcruze their policies and 
rhetoric have no place in a "civilized" society.  

What the happened to "love thy neighbor"?!?!?  Seriously WTF?

I can't wait to see the republican convention contort itself into a 
million pieces...you reap what you sow.

America is already fucking great!  

Sorry for all the cursing but it really chaps my hide to see American 
politicians act this poorly.

  Is “the wall” THE answer to immigration challenges?  Of course not.  
Is it helpful and one part of the total solution needed?   absolutely.  There 
IS NO border with the U.S. right now.  What is there is a façade.  Trump is 
crude and I wish he would tone down the rhetoric a bit (for everybody’s 
benefit, including himself), but this country needs actio
