    Something in which we can agree. Just to clarify, it's partisans on both sides of the aisle who are fear-mongering. The only difference being what fears they are mongering. I'm sure you're old enough to have seen this before since fear-mongering isn't new. It's been around for all of my adult life meaning back to the 1970s.

    There are real dangers out there and problems, but nothing as bad (nor as good) as any political party is selling.

    In general, I think we are in agreement.

    No, it's not a "fact"....as noted many times, the states that get the most welfare...are RED (i.e. conservative) states.

    - - - Updated - - -

    BTW, from his previous "poll" and other posts?


    Has nobody figured out what rangecontraction is???

    This line of argument always reminds me of the claim by both Pensacola and St. Augustine to be "Florida's Oldest City". Both are correct; one was established first, but abandoned a few years later while the other one was established later and continued to be inhabited until present day.

    Largest threat to our security ?
    The greed of WHITE collar crime, corrupt bankers, Wall Streeters, corporations who are determined to crush the middle class.
    Sometimes terrorism IS NOT the "usual" or the targeted Group of the Day, ....losing your home, your savings, your job, your income can be Terrifying...THAT can crush this country as flat as any of the "usual".

    Interesting what you see if you ADD UP the non-black percentages on Food Stamps....or the non-Democratic percentages on Food Stamps.....or the non-liberal percentages on Food Stamps.

    The greatest threat to whom? All the people pointed out as being a threat, are no threat to themselves. The only people being threatened and targeted by minorities to be obliterated are white people. White people have been declared as enemies of the state. Minorities have taken control of the United States, and their collective common goal is to rid themselves of the white man's lingering influence.

    Once the white man is gone, minorities will have have a clean slate and a fresh and unhampered opportunity to establish their pecking order and transform America into a long-awaited dismal, crime and poverty-laden third-world socialist nation. Neverless, minorities, like those of South Africa and other now putrid nations who have ousted white people, they will have self-determination; pride; personal satisfaction; and be content with their lot.

    Nevertheless, white people should learn to accept the forthcoming scenario. All nations undergo political change. It's cyclical and natural -- now it's America's time to make the change.

    True, but equally interesting to add up the non-white percentages on Food Stamps....or the non-Republican percentages on Food Stamps.....or the non-Conservative percentages on Food Stamps. Cherry-picking numbers is exactly what partisan political poltroons do. Best, IMO, to stick with the entire picture and look at the numbers as they are in their entirety.

    I respect Pew, so while I do not know how they collected their data, I am certain it was done in a fair and accurate manner.

    As for the disparity between Republicans and Democrats, is it really a shocker that more Republicans are Middle or higher income than Democrats? When was the last time you ever heard of a upper Middle Class office manager stopping by the Food Stamp office before or after his golf game?

    The PEW poll is odd in that it indicates a decorrelation between party (R, D, I) and political leaning (conservative, liberal, moderate).

    I also looked at the poll, it was a phone survey. Phone surveys are biased towards older people, and all older people are on social security which will bias the numbers of people who have received "entitlements". I could not find the poll respondents divided by age, but I would take this poll with some skepticism.

    Not so odd when one considers that Independents like myself my lean conservative or liberal. In my case, it depends on the subject matter.

    Does lying make you feel better? Let's see. Rep. Charlie Rangel cheats on his taxes. Sen. John Kerry cheats on his taxes. President Clinton cheats on his taxes. Al Sharpton owes millions. Billions are owed by Federal Employees. And, almost half, mostly liberals, don't pay any income tax.

    I'm sure glad you went there and if you have any source for your silly statement, I'll be glad to read it.

    Now, would you like to consider who works in the U.S.? And who is it that brags they're freeing people from the drudgery of work. Work is the only four-letter word that offends liberals. Well, and free. That's offensive to liberals, too.

    Do you have facts to back up your comments about DHS?

    As for Holder, his credibility is lost with me for many reasons. If a white U.S. Attorney General went to a small American suburb and said "But I am also a white man" to anybody, how many Democrats, liberals and other various groups would go absolutely ape sh**?

    “I understand that mistrust. I am the attorney general of the United States. But I am also a black man.”

    The largest threat to U.S. Homeland Security is the NSA and the Department of Homeland Security.

    So far criminality and disease amongst Black Americans (options 1 and 4 combined) and the Islamic State are neck and neck.

    The problem of course for us is that our leader is a Black American and so will not be inclined to do anything about his brothers.

    Unfortunately for the USA, Clinton looks like our next leader and some say she sounds black:

    Those who think black Americans are the greatest threat our nation is facing are idiots IMHO. Those who think nothing will be done to curb violence by black gang-bangers are obviously clueless on how local, state and Federal governments work.

    As for Clinton, I doubt she'll even make it to the DNC nomination much less become POTUS.

    I think the USA's support of Israel in their fight against Palestine constitutes a major threat to the US.

    Your comment about "Blacks bringing Ebola" is racist. Ebola is not limited to any particular race. Even Jews could get Ebola.

    Israel is our closest ally and we will continue to support the heroic Israelis.

    Blacks are most likely to bring it back from Africa. Ebola is in Africa.

    God bless America and Israel.
