Tinfoil hat time....


Thanks to corporation exploiting under the table wages to increase profits. Thanks to farms taking US government subsidies then hiring illegals at less then half the legal minimum wage. They claim that "Americans won't do the job"

The real unemployment rate is over 20%, the so called statistics don't count people who exceeded their benefits

Go ahead make fun of me, call me names, but first prove me wrong?

We must pander to hate groups like La Raza (who want to "take back") for political votes, and corporate greed.

Republican presidential contender Rick Perry is on the defensive after it emerged a hunting camp used by his family had a racially offensive name.

His campaign said his family had years ago painted over an entrance stone that once displayed the name, ******head, at the rented West Texas camp.

But the Texas governor was heavily criticised by rival Republican nominee Herman Cain, who is African American.

Mr Perry is a leading contender for the Republican nomination for president.

The Perry campaign did not deny that the term was used as a name for the property, but said it was changed soon after Mr Perry's father joined a lease that gave him hunting rights there in 1983.

'Vile, negative word'

"The word written by others long ago is insensitive and offensive. That is why the Perrys took quick action to cover and obscure it," campaign spokesman Ray Sullivan said in a statement.

"The Perrys did not own, name or control the property. They simply rented hunting rights to 1,000 acres of the ranch."

But the Washington Post, which reported the story on Sunday, was told by several people that the name was still visible at points during the 1980s and 90s.

It also reported that as recently as this summer the word was still faintly visible under a coat of white paint.

The land - leased by Mr Perry's father, and later by Mr Perry - was the site of hunting and fishing getaways where the Texas governor entertained lawmakers and supporters. It is not far from Mr Perry's boyhood home in the community of Paint Creek.

At the weekend, Mr Perry again raised eyebrows when he said that if elected president, he would consider sending US troops to Mexico to combat drug-related violence.

People wouldn't make this mistake if you'd put the copied text in a quote box like I have suggested.

And I, and more than once.

Apparently this is a problem, if you read the article in its entirety is nothing strange, I myself do not experience it as a big problem, but the taste is different, and I respect that.
