#1 Gwen feels obliged to support one of her own--a liberal Democrat that is.

#3 Hmmm. I recall that Elkhart had a sizeable KKK membership back in the day. Gwen wasn't necessarily on neutral ground.

I'm not going to let this one slip by. Just what are you implying about the good people of Elkhart today, ElziverKnaggs?

You see, racism was everywhere in this country back in the days of the KKK. We had it in the American South, in Elkhart, in New York, Chicago, Boston, DC, and in the West. It was everywhere. It was pervasive. You couldn't get away from it for a moment. Is that your point?

We don't have it everywhere today. People of Elkhart, the South, and elsewhere are a lot better about race relations. We aren't perfect by any means, but today you have people of every race working together, sharing neighborhoods, public accommodations and the vote. The only group in this country that is still obsessed with race are the progressive Democrats.

So I'm not sure, ElziverKnaggs: are you a troll? A moby? An idiot? Just maladroit? Or perhaps you're an unpaid volunteer for either the Clinton or Sanders campaign?

Why don't you clarify that for me in a new comment in this thread?

I suspect you're on to something Elziver, racist southern cities, etc. but perhaps not totally in alignment with your thinking.

#5 Exactly what did the "great one" accomplish to help anyone get a real 40 hour a week job? Anywhere?

Other than the federal job boom, all we see are the 30 hour a week jobs.

#10 "B" you can add a 10th chart to the 9, the death rate. It has increased for the first time in a decade. The increase is attributed to drug overdose deaths. Probably due to a permissive attitude from D.C. about drugs (as well as some other reasons).
