    now, i can understand that you can prefer one side to the other: republicans to democrats. But to be blind to the misbehaviour of your party (torture, lies on WMD, etc) means that you lose auto-criticism toward yourself. I think you can still support your party and be critic toward them...

    I guess you like everything going on with this administration because I sure dont see you criticizing anything they do/have done. Wave that flag.

    So its cool if I call crack addicts and gang-bangers niggers, then?

    I think we can all admit that Rednecks are of a certain type. It's not too difficult to understand. England has it's own brand of redneck. We call them Chavs. http://www.chavscum.co.uk/culture.php
    Simply put, anyone who eats 'Freedom fries', has a goatee beard, and lives in a trailer, can be safely assured that they are a redneck chicken kicker!
    And I didn't even need to rely on Wikipedia for that! :cool:

    What is your definition of the word 'nigger'? I thought it was a slang word used to describe anyone who was black back when it was generally accepted by society that they were inferior to white people. Why do you mention crack and gangs?
