IOW, if JDR is not a racist, rather than take offense, he should be open to considering the possibility that he is exhibiting a racist thinking pattern on the question about the causes of unemployment -- and perhaps take a hard, critical look at his beliefs on the subject and see how well they are grounded in fact rather than prejudice.
*Sigh* Yeah I shouldn't have been offended at all, it really makes me appear racist.
I'm beginning to see that this could just go on infinitely at this point. Prime Junta is obviously not the type to ever consider that he could be wrong about anything. Instead he'll just continue to spin the conversation as he sees fit to best support his views.
I especially like ....
"and perhaps take a hard, critical look at his beliefs on the subject and see how well they are grounded in fact rather than prejudice."
....as if prejudice and race are the same thing. My comments about welfare had nothing to do with race. I didn't (and don't) distinguish between a black man on welfare and a white man on welfare, or any other color\race\religion for that matter.
Maybe if he had accused me of being prejudice against the poor in general (which I'm not) he would at least have a rational argument.
