• Sadly, I believe this guy is a defining representative of a large portion of America today. They grew up in the "you're special" crowd, simply because they exist. He probably played on a youth sports team where no one lost, and everyone won. Simply put, modern day America is teaching our kids, and obviously this guy, that the world owes them time. When I grew up, I lost. That didn't make me feel like a loser, it made me determined to WIN. Every loss was another lash on the back, to get my sorry ass in gear to win. My time wasn't given to me, like this fool, I took it. I busted my butt, I earned what I have. While I respect his right to be an idiot, I do not respect how modern America is giving him time to preach his idiocy to others. We need to take America BACK.

  • My children periodically hassle me for raising them with a work ethic. All of them give 150% in their work, and are annoyed by thisw who stand around, talking to each ther, texting their friends, and then have their hand out for a paycheck. My oldest actually got written up for racism (the child who is half Mexican) because she repeatedly had to tell one of her subordinate to get off her ass and work. Girl filed a racial insult deal and all of a sudden, my daughgter was on the hot seat, even though the write up had been agreed upon and approved by HER supervisors!

    • I had a black co-worker threaten me with physical violence because I told him he wasn't doing his job. The management swept it under the rug, acted like it never happened, but I got threatened with termination, because this guy starts fights with me. Go figure.

      • I once had a black co worker do the same thing because I told him I would NOT do his job. (Bringing material from the 1st floor to the fourth)

        I dropped my tool belt and stepped towards him. He carried the material up himself. When the boss got back from vacation, he fired the guy.

        I always figure if a person says he is going to kick my a**, he has clearly stated his intention to do me physical harm, and I fully intend to give them the chance to fulfill that intention.

        I do NOT get threatened much, as all my friends and co-workers know that I hold this philosophy and are quick to inform those who like to bully of such.

        • Even as a child my Dad told me "I better not hear that you started a fight. But if somebody else starts it, I expect you to finish it."

      • Remember: there are different rules for blacks in business. They can do or say almost anything, and they have immunity because of their culture and how "the deck is stacked against them".

        I noticed that it hasn't hit the mainstream press, but Ryan's ex-girlfriend (the black chick) was found, and it turns out that she is actually an Obama voter. BUT she also went to prison for some time for embezzlement (which is surely why the dems aren't taking the obvious play with this.) BUT - even with the embezzlement, even with the prison time, this chick is now successful and living in a beautiful home. If I - a white person - embezzled a bunch of money and did prison time, my future would be over. Just saying. (By the way - did I mention? She lives in Chicago.)

        • She was probabl;y the Obama's babysitter before they gglomed onto grandma to work like a slave (@@) in her elder years taking care of their children.

        • It's even worse in the military. My supervisor was black, he kept antoginizing and goading me until I snapped and told him that "I didn't need to take this shit from no smartass f*cking n***er like him."
          He turned red and threatened me with taking my stripes.
          He didn't have a leg to stand on because everyone else in the shop was a witness to the whole incident, and he knew it.

• The truly sobering thought is that there is a large (STUPID) segment of the population that either believes the same way or just doesn't know any better.

• Makes me think at any time "Tourette" will break into a famous line from Dr. Strangelove, " My Fuehrer" ........

• Someone please tell Mr. Neblett to kindly go outside and play hide and go screw himself. Nothing like listening to a racist liberal control freak preaching government control to make a person want to vomit.

• Thanks Mr. Neblett telling us our rights come from the federal government, not from nature or God.

  But if the federal government gives us our rights can it also take those rights away?

  The federal government protected the institution of slavery until 1863. The federal government allowed segregation and Jim Crow laws until the second half of the 20th century. The federal government herded Native Americans into "resevations" The federal government prohibited women from voting until the 1920s. The federal government once prohibited it citizens from distilling or consuming alcohol. The federal government instituted draft laws that deprived many male citizens of their freedoms. The federal government is forcing people and institutions to pay for birth control practices in violation of their consciences. The federal government can tax your income and punish you if you fail to pay their arbitrary assessments. The federal government will soon be making decisions that determine if you live or die.

  • The problem is he does not understand your question, & he's too dumb to understand it. It seems that he comes from a world of everyone telling him that he's brilliant, but he's never had to defend his idiology or his intellect. Judging from what I have seen over the years, Toure is an unarmed man in the arena of ideas. But he should'nt worry, he fits right in at MSNBC.

• My morals don't come from gods

  I can morally condemn an Afghani sh-tfarmer for hurling acid into the faces of little schoolgirls just fine, regardless of what his or anyone's gods have to say in the matter. I will always regret, to some extent, failing to re-enlist and never seeing combat, where I might've had opportunity grind one their bones into dust for such crimes..

  Our rights were secured through fire and blood. I adhere to rule of gun and guts. Rights unprotected are not rights at all. Fire and blood were required again in our history to address grievous error in the original document. As i've stated before, the 13th Ammendment should've ended with There, we fixed it..

• OMG! Yet another self-righteous, head 'firmly planted' up butt, liberal lap-dog, agenda driven, media type, who is himself responsible for the "n*****ization" of the political and societal debate in America, and who by his own admission, can get away with saying so simply because he's of african descent! What a God-less, feckless, flake!

• So it's highly offensive and a racist code to say "our rights come from God and nature"...the list just keeps growing and growing...

• Oh...
  ...my...
  ...ever-lovin'...
  ...God.

  That's the dumbest comment I've ever heard uttered in the United States of America. Talk about someone who simply does not get it!

• Our rights come from God and nature and Col. Colt is going to keep it that way.
