An average of 47% of Americans identified as Democrats or said they were independents who leaned Democratic in 2012, compared with 42% who identified as or leaned Republican. That re-establishes a Democratic edge in party affiliation after the two parties were essentially tied in 2010 and 2011. ...

I was at DisneyWorld before Christmas. The VAST majority of people there are Latinos (and yes, I studied Latin, they never have!). Every family had an overweight señora who had at least 2-3 kids tagging along and one in the oven! Muslims, blacks and latinos are multiplying faster than hamsters in heat. The welfare lines will continue to bulge and we’ll be stuck paying for these shlubs!

Has anybody asked the question — “When will the money run out?”

The once-a-monthers see the Feds as Gods, and their freebies as blessed manna. They think as long as they bow down every election, the free manna will never end. They think the Feds just create it out of thin air like magic.

“They think the Feds just create it out of thin air like magic.”

At this point they do, just like the Wizard of Oz.

if they outpopulate us, whoeever "us" is, then so be it...they'll be the majority and the middle class and they will shoulder the burden of society....

trouble is, where do civilized people live in the meantime...

not to say however, that latinos are not civilized...as a group, I like them very much.....

you can blame my children....they just aren't procreating like the should....
