I'm black and I'm a strong right-wing conservative, am I a sell-out?
I'm not a Republican, but I'm independent and mostly conservative. It seems that most African Americans are democrats, but I see no reason to be a democrat, they are just too liberal. I used to think of black conservatives as "Uncle Toms" similar to that of Carlton Banks from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air TV show, but that isn't me. I grew up in a black community, graduated from an HBCU, love rap and r&b music, etc. But here are the reasons that I am a conservative: - I'm a Christian, believe in God and have no desire for any other religion - I'm a U.S. patriot. I love my country and encourage military spending. The Peace Corps is for hippies, we won't be making "peace" with the middle east and a strong defense is what we need so we can nuke these terrorists! - I support traditional marriage being only between a man and a woman. Homosexuality is just disgusting and I oppose any type of gay rights movement. SICK! - I support capital punishment and sometimes think that pedophiles and rapist deserve it as well. - I'm a capitalist. I hate socialism and communism. I don't want to be paying extra taxes for no reason! - Tree-huggers make me sick! I would love to chop down a tree, pollute the o-zone with my emissions violating sports car, wear animal skin clothing, and hunt a deer for food. - I support the 2nd amendment. In fact, I'm trying to decide what to buy for my first gun. - I'm against any legalization of controlled substances. I don't get why liberals want to legalize drugs, but ban guns. Guns don't kill, people do. Guns protect you. Marijuana and cocaine on the other hand, will kill you. Nothing good there. - However, I do support affirmative action to give those from underrepresented racial backgrounds, as well as those disabled, a chance. So...am I a sell-out? Thoughts?

Why are registered sex offenders not allowed to adopt a child?
There may be an obvious answer to this question. I just look at all the children living in state care in adoption homes or are living with parents that mistreat them and abuse them. Some registered sex offenders are caring individuals and would like to take the children out of that harsh setting and care for them. Just because they have been convicted of a crime that is of sexual nature doesn't neccessarily mean they will do it again. I mean, I'm just an 18y/o girl but I have a neighbor that beats their children more than they should. My friend has a registered sex offender that lives next to her. He always helps out for her and her mom around the house and is a great neighbor. Some of these people have major issues where they should rot in jail. But some don't and are either a registered sex offender for a BS crime or have been rehabilitated. Don't you feel a child is safer is the hands of a person or family that cares, regardless if they are RSO's?
Why is Google so left-wing biased?
As Stephen Colbert has observed, reality has a well-known liberal bias.Engineering organizations tend towards so-called “liberal” positions because the practice of engineering emphasizes finding workable solutions, and you can’t come up with workable solutions without accurately assessing the state of the world.American conservatism, especially over the last 30 years, has come to value ideology over evidence. That’s fine if you don’t have to make anything that works. But if you’re concerned with functionality, as engineers are, you have to go where the evidence takes you. And to conservatives, that will make you appear leftist.Google does have ideological biases. The primary one is right there in its mission statement. Is making information universally accessible and useful is a good thing? It seems likely to me that it is, but it’s a lot harder to prove and disprove than other ideological positions, like “tax cuts improve investment and promote general prosperity,” which are provably false.
Why are so many Catholic priests pedophiles?
Percentage-wise, the problem is not limited to Catholic priests (and they don't hold the highest percentage, either). It is just that they have made the most news, largely because of the illegal practice of covering up the crime and moving the priest to a different parish. Any organization that deals largely with children has the problem (schools, daycare, boy and girl scouts, etc.) at about the same level (percentage-wise).
Is RSS really as bad as it is made out to be in the media? Why does it have so many members & supporters if it is so bad?
Absolutely not!! RSS is a group of people who want to serve other people. My family has more than 30 years connection with sakha. I have been going there since I was 9 year old now I 21. I can tell you what is there main thinking. Its not a group of any community but due to VHP it doesn't contain any other community people other than Hindu. But when we go to small level I mean sakhas then you can find muslims, christens childern also. But its not shown because of hindu leaders form VHP suppress there activities at higher level. Actually what ever is been shown on TV is actually against VHP but to get more trp is has been made against RSS. RSS people only serve other people. I, my self used to go clean roads, I used to go to slums to give food to children. The main objective of sakha is to strengthen the youth of community. I can bet you wouldn't have heard any person from RSS has attacked any one But you would have definitely heard the stories of there generocity. In odisa bar may RSS people from different state went to odisaa to help people but It wan't shown on the TV. I agree these days politics has degraded the integrity of upstream leaders. But whatever bad is happening with RSS is because its upper leader has join VHP or some shiv sena.
Why was George W. Bush demonized?
First I would have to say I find it hard to believe that Bush has been demonized by the mainstream media (bloggers and such excepted). It's true the media often refers to his low popularity, but this has a lot to do with current politics, and the dynamics of the recent election, so it's topical. As to why such a huge portion of the population dislikes him? Well consider what has he done in 8 years? On the plus side there isn't much there, No Child Left Behind which is still controversial, and underfunded, establishment of the Dept. of Homeland Security which has yet to do very much to make us safer. What else is there? On the negative side (in no special order) the 2 wars, with no end in sight to either, an imploding economy and en enormous deficit, NO progress on environmental issues, the illegal partisan takeover of the Justice Dept., the failure of FEMA in the face of Katrina (New ORleans is still in ruins), the lack of a comprehensive energy policy, the alienation of almost the entire world, no resolution or even progress on Immigration issues, no major peace initiatives in the middle east, and let's not even get into immunity for telecoms for illegal wiretapping, torture scandals, guantanamo and enemies combatants, etc. If Bush shouldn't be despised who WOULD be? On the other hand I do agree that ANY President should be offered a basic level of respect, even if only for the office that he represents. The question is where and when is this deference appropriate? I'm not sure...
How do you feel about Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s comments describing the 9/11 attacks as “some people did something”?
It was only 60 years ago that Communism was a dirty word in the West, and in those days Nationalism was better accepted as Patriotism.The gradual chipping away at Western pride and values since that time through various means and liberal policies, from social engineering to illusions of truth campaigns. The Political Correctness, the identity politics, the negative name associations in media. All things that have gradually desensitised us and taken us away from the values we once held true.Its taken us to a time were analysis can be published that leaves us questioning where is the centrist line these daysWe are in a day where we are asked to believe The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post and CNN are centrist and without partisan bias. The compromise has all been one-way!Those are the changes over 60 years. Yet only 18 years ago the western world were shocked at the 9/11 attacks, and horrified to see the news reports of Palestinians openly celebrating in the streets at the deaths of nearly 3,000 innconcent civillians.Who would have thought just 18 years later that a Muslim activist would be elected into the USAs congress completely downplaying that abominable terrorist act?At this rate we have to wonder where we will be in another 42 years?
