> [@RTFirefly](#): > > The latest reason is that [Cain says](http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2011/11/judy-woodruff-lets-herman-cain-hook) the People’s Republic of China has “indicated that they’re trying to develop nuclear capability.” I don’t think it really matter if he’s hyping up threats from China, the Dutch, or Martians. The point is he wants to maintain or expand the security state and our huge military apparatus. But he’s a POTUS candidate, so of course he does. ---

I don’t know much about Caine at all, but I do know the first four guys among my associates who really like the guy. Ewwwww. Tris ---

The country he doesn’t give a shit about is U-bekibeki-bekibeki-stanstan. Learn some fucking geography, people. ---

Cain is like the political equivalent of _The Producers_. I don’t think he ever intended to be this popular-- he just wanted to sell some books and make a name for himself. Now he has to actually sound like a credible candidate. :eek: ---

And that means your inner caricature of a liberal is _always_ trolling - not that that’s any surprise.

Nobody dismissed you because you’re black and Republican. They dismiss you because you’re among the most blindly ideological posters on this site. You don’t know enough to argue, and you aren’t charming enough to fake it. Believing nonsense misinformation as gospel is your problem.

Believing nonsense misinformation as gospel is your problem. It’s the content of your character, not the color of your skin. I lol’ed. Riiight. I find that… ironic… considering the individual and considering the amount of blind Republican/conservative bashing that goes on regularly. But far be it from me to point that out. Anyway, that still doesn’t have a lick to do with what I originally said.

You said I was “among the most blindly ideological posters on this site”. I lol’ed at that accusation. You’re either purposely cherry-picking posters or you really are blind. I can find at least ten or so threads which amount to “Look at those [stupid/ignorant] [racist/sexist/homophobic] Republican/conservative [terrorists/jihadists] trying to ruin America!”, as they seem to be all the rage.
