The new slaves are the taxpayers. Those of us who work to pay for the latest liberal fad.
We can't even pay for the oldest liberal fad.
I'd like assurances in writing that my future social security benefits won't be reduced because in 2020 we "discover" we can't afford it anymore.

If I ever pay for reparations I want to own my own slave. Don't call me a racist! Call me a person that expects something in return for my investment.
Now don't give me that crap you built America with your bare hands, because I'm going to tell you yes, and ever since, I've been paying for you with handouts. Including the great society programs that didn't do anything but transfer wealth from one pocket to another. That was an investment that should have been deductable as a Loss!

What do you think this does to the moral stature of everyone involved -- their independence, their sense of justice, their goodwill towards people of different races? So true. It's a shame that such a "civil rights leader" as jesse jackson can't realize that this is about 50 giant steps backward in race-relations.

Reparations is the best thing that could ever happen for conservatives. It represents the most absurd agenda yet of the liberals and contains economic injury for so many that it is doomed to failure, and it dooms liberalism to failure. The only way Reparations will succeed is if the Republicans try and oppose the issue and allow the media to position them as the bad guys and allow the payments to go to "organizations" like JJ's. We should be for Reparations so long as they go to only those individuals who are direct descendants of slaves. Watch what happens when the money gets distributed. My bet is that the infighting will destroy the political base of the rats.

Raparations need to be paid.
1. African Nations that sold their own people into salvery need to pay the United States for their up keep.
2. African American's who whine about being decendents of slaves need to pay the United States for the difference in what they make and what the average citizen in the African country they claim the came from makes.
3. Anybody that has been on welfare needs to pay back the welfare they have received . . . with interest!
You do not have to let the NAACP and other racist organizations define the argument. That is a sure way to lose.
You want to have reparations ... well try this on for size.

Notice: MOG who represent the middle district of Fl. - We DO NOT want the federal Government to pay out one penny in reparations. We do support bus fare back to Africa.

Every time I hear about reparations, I am reminded of the scene in the movie "Cat Balou", where Cat hires Kid Sheleene for $50 bucks. Kid immediantly goes and gets drunk on the money. Cat's dad yells at her, "You could have killed him, giving him $50 cash at once!"
