This being a free country and full of choices, folks get to choose what they want to eat & drink....Democrats and Republicans alike call that freedom.

I think you mean the freedom to be stupid fatasses faced with those dietary choices around every corner and on every television and like big fat pigs who can’t think for themselves “folks” eat and drink the garbage and become the fattest people in the world. Good answer, Lion. Duh, “freedom,” duh...

Funny line, but I don’t the rich felt too plundered during the Obama era...they did great. It was Bush that cost them 1/3 of their dough, then they got it back and another 50% or so on top during O. He was no socialist, his policies were very pro-wall street and his tax policy was basically status quo.

Yep, there a bunch of old school racists that obviously just don't know better.
It's the new ones on the left that should be the concern of today.

I will never believe that the discriminated against minorities should face ongoing accusations of “racism” (or, similarly, women can’t be called “sexist”) as part of our country’s political rhetoric.

So, minorities can't be racist and women can't be sexist?

There was plenty to be critical of Obama about, why the nutters choose to continue repeating their own made up insanity is a mystery . . . and now they can't discuss what Trump is actually doing but instead focus on their own (and his) made up fantasy of what he wants us all to believe is happening.

Enough with the polarizing political chatter on cable TV.

That's the message from a nationwide health club chain that has pulled 24-hour cable news networks from TVs at its 128 locations because the "consistently negative or politically charged content" doesn't mesh with the company's "healthy way of life philosophy."

Life Time Fitness, which has 128 locations, said in a statement posted to its Twitter account, "The decision to remove the national cable network news stations resulted from significant member feedback received over time and our commitment to provide family oriented environments free of consistently negative or politically charged content."

The statement continues, "It always is our goal to meet the majority of members' expressed requests and we believe this change is consistent with the desires of overall membership as well as our healthy way of life philosophy."

The Chanhassen, Minnesota-based chain has removed CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC and CNBC from its televisions.

Not really, no. Maybe on an individual basis they can but on a societal basis, they can’t. You need to be the dominant majority to use racism and sexism to subjugate the others. I understand why older white men are crying racism, though, it’s really the competition, especially when a half-black became president and started discussing issues from a black perspective...I think that is racial, not racist.

Hmmm, I thought he was half-white? He was white when he wanted to be and black when he had to be.

You mean he spoke mainstream and without dialect usually and played up black linguistic style in front of a black audience? I agree; Clinton did the same thing, but substitute "soulful southern white gospel church attendee" for black.

Ridiculous and patronizing argument.
Following this line of reasoning, Arabs who subjugated black people in Africa are not actually racist because they were never the dominant majority.
Many examples throughout history where a minority subjugated a majority.
I would even think it fair to say, that history is dominated by small, motivated groups running roughshod over the majority, regardless of race.
