    Is that why red states like Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana are the ones who draw the most welfare?

    My, my, our memories are failing us? The problem with GOP, they need a lesson in history.

    Today, we celebrate the life of a truly great man, who -- armed only with his bravery and powerful words -- brought Jim Crow to its knees. It's also important to remember that the political heirs of those who created and enforced Jim Crow for a century -- Southern conservatives -- are now running the Republican Party. And that's why it's easy to understand why the fiercest opposition to making MLK Day a national holiday was in the GOP.
    The last Republican candidate for president opposed it.

    "Mr. Conservative" (Barry Goldwater) voted against the holiday.

    Ron Paul voted against the bill that created the holiday -- twice.

    77 of the 90 nay votes in final bill in the House were cast by Republicans.

    18 of the 22 nay votes in the final bill in the Senate were cast by Republicans.

    And the Greatest American in the History of America, Ronald "States' Rights" Reagan, only reluctantly signed the bill into law because it arrived on his desk with veto-proof majorities. Before he signed it, he said,Congress seemed bent on making it a national holiday.

    What an inspiring endorsement.

    Is that the latest meme coming out of Faux News regarding Democrats? If the Republicans cared about the poor they wouldn't want to stick it to them every time they have a chance. Wonder why Cruz is so adamant about getting rid of Obamacare that he is willing to shut the government down? Let the military go without getting paid and seniors lose benefits in Medicare? Because he cares about the middle-class? You're the one that is being used as a tool and you don't even recognize it.

    Yeah, and if it happens to be poor, you won't be concerned about it anymore. In fact, you'll vote yes to doing away with welfare, lunch for poor kids, and any help this child may need, because you only care about it when it's in the womb, right?

    How can it not be? With conservatives discriminating against them and wanting to take whatever little help they get away, even their voting rights, how can it not be? At least an aborted fetus will go straight to heaven and live in peace forever, while being born poor and black will only mean despair for their entire life fighting off the conservative's crazy ideas.

    Tops in the class means they are the best. no way around it. Everything else is your opinion, which the data shows is irrelevant.

    Of course I won't, and that's why I don't believe in the people who are not the mother making those decisions for them.

    If you're the mother, you decide..simple

    Top of the list of four out of a list of twelve 'dependable' cars doesn't make American cars the 'best' in the world. Which actually means there are eight cars more 'dependable than American cars.

    What don't you understand about the word 'dependable'?

    What don't you understand about tops in class???? It means simply that in those classes of vehicles American Cars are ranked the BEST in the world.

    Fox and Hounds? :roflol: Like I said, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.....................


    Our Ruling:

    Weighing the niece’s claim against King’s son’s, Honey’s and Garrow’s, and Goings’ speculation that he might have had to register as a Republican even though he always voted the Democratic ticket, it seems to us that the preponderance of the evidence shows that a claim that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican is simply False.

    You either have reading difficulties or you're not too bright, take your pick.

    A car could be ultra dependable (meaning reliable) and be an absolute pig to drive, has woeful consumption, and looks like the dog's breakfast.

    From the link you posted.

    "Overall, domestic nameplates average 133 problems per 100 vehicles, while import nameplates average 123. The average for all vehicles is 126 problems per 100 vehicles, up 5 percent from last year’s survey of 2009 models."


    Having four cars at the top of their class in dependability out of a possible 12 doesn't make American cars the best in the world.

    Not too difficult to understand.

    Yeah, okay, so you will stick to your opinion, I will stick with the awards, what may be a pig to drive for you, may not be for someone else. But what good is something that may be great for someone to drive if it is in the shop every other week? doesn't exactly make it the "best" vehicle now does it? No, it doesn't. It makes those 4 cars the best in the world in their class. Get over it.

    Four out of a list of 12, making eight cars (by your idea of the best cars) better than American cars. Geddit??

    His father and daughter are too. He was, but then went non political. He was killed by a democrat, jailed by a democrat, and fought democrat passed laws, but stayed non partisan, he knew he had to change the minds of the democrat party.

    Politifact is pretty biased. Your arguments of fact hold as much weight as theirs. Can I post fox was facts without any challenge? :)

    In their class, geddit??? The fact that American cars make up 33% of the list should clue you in that some of the best cars in the world are made in America. Do you understand now, or are you going to continue to be obtuse?

    Now you are back peddling. You firstly said American cars are the best in the world, now you say 'some' of the best cars in the world.

    What is it now.

    Do you know what quantifiers are and how to use them within the realms of English language?
