You have no capacity for nuance in a discussion.

The guy had talent enough to play 12 years in the NBA, but at age 35 that talent isn't enough to continue to compete against younger equally talented athletes. Don't you get that, Perspective? It happens to all athletes eventually, but I guess that only Jason Collins is currently able to use his sexual orientation as an excuse for what is a natural decline in athleticism. And only liberals would argue that it is anything but what it is, an age related decline in athleticism.

The left has definitely jumped the shark.
Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva. In the*Journal of Medical Ethics:
[W]hen circumstances occurafter birth*such that they would have justified abortion, what we call*after-birth abortion*should be permissible. … [W]e propose to call this practice ‘after-birth abortion’, rather than ‘infanticide,’ to emphasize that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus … rather than to that of a child. Therefore, we claim that killing a newborn could be ethically permissible in all the circumstances where abortion would be. Such circumstances include cases where the newborn has the potential to have an (at least) acceptable life, but the well-being of the family is at risk.
[I]n order for a harm to occur, it is necessary that someone is in the condition of experiencing that harm. If a potential person, like a fetus and a newborn, does not become an actual person, like you and us, then there is neither an actual nor a future person who can be harmed, which means that there is no harm at all. … In these cases, since non-persons have no moral rights to life, there are no reasons for banning after-birth abortions. … Indeed, however weak the interests of actual people can be, they will always trump the alleged interest of potential people to become actual ones, because this latter interest amounts to zero.
Ann Furedi, chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service::
Abortions at an early stage are the best option, for both psychological and physical reasons. Merely being human is not in itself a reason for ascribing someone a right to life. Indeed, many humans are not considered subjects of a right to life.

Tee hee. Let's look at words right from his mouth...
Only a Fedzillacrat could possibly think raising taxes on the wealthy could accomplish anything toward restoring sanity in the financial insane asylum known as our federal government.
We can’t keep throwing good money after bad and expect different results. What we need is a wholesale, top-to-bottom assessment of the federal government, and then we need to slash and burn all Fedzilla departments, agencies and offices that are not constitutionally required or deemed vital. This should be fundamental before any deals are cut regarding new taxes.
The three sacred entitlement cows in the room that no politician wants to poke are Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. A blinding statement of the obvious is that we are never going to get our financial house in order until these sacred entitlement cows are not only poked, but slaughtered. Until the slaughter is over, everything else is just taxation window dressing.
I realize you are cornered like a wounded aninmal but in what parallel universe is the nugent statemnt above "just like a liberal"?
Do you realize how much we laugh at your juvenile nonsense?
Let’s also stop the insanity by suspending the right to vote of any American who is on welfare. Once they get off welfare and are self-sustaining, they get their right to vote restored. No American on welfare should have the right to vote for tax increases on those Americans who are working and paying taxes to support them. That’s insane.
Guess we should all be afraid if they were able to thrwo aside their walkers.....

Jews are very well educated and as a result they are among the wealthiest of Americans.
Ultra rich people support the Democratic party...or at least the ultra rich people that are jews.
Do I have you corr4ect? is there a point to all of that other than giving us all the feeling that if we scratched around we would find you have a lot of issues with Jews...just as you do with blacks and women who have the nonsensical (to you) idea that they should control their own reproductive decisions?
You can't help it...you cannot contain your "issues"

Apparently someone as close to the game as Kobe Bryant thinks it is a big deal. I guess there are some people who are just doomed to never concede anything and to never appreciate anyone else (unless it is some example they exploit for their own agenda).

"Let’s confront another inconvenient truth: America’s major political parties aren’t serious about meaningful diversity either.*Democrats have done little for blacks in decades that has resulted ingful and measurable results, all while pocketing their votes. Republicans have fumbled at nearly every opportunity to make significant inroads in communities of color because, with few exceptions, they simply don’t know how to effectively communicate a compelling vision.
Since the 1960s, blacks have clung to the Democratic Party—the same party that imposed segregation and fought passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Democrats have created the myth that Republicans have sought to inhibit the progress of blacks at every turn, a fiction that Republicans have been unable to combat due to their inability to communicate effectively.
Critics will rebut this assertion with the charge that it was Southern Democrats who largely sought to block the civil-rights programs—many of whom would change their allegiance to the Republican Party. Fair enough. This point I will grudgingly concede.However, it was not the Party of Lincoln that illegally wiretapped the phone of Martin Luther King, Jr.; we have then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to thank for that. It was the Party of Lincoln that found enough votes to propel the Great Society programs over the finish line to deliver victory for President Lyndon B. Johnson, who himself a Southern Democrat, infamously declared in regard to these measures: “I’ll have those n-----s voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”
For all the trillions of dollars spent to ameliorate poverty, provide job training and assistance during economic downturns, the unemployment rate for blacks has remained much the same for the past 50 years. In a powerful report published this year by the Economic Policy Institute, author Algernon Austin notes: “…The average unemployment rate for blacks over the past 50 years, at 11.6 percent, is considerably higher than the average rate during recessions of 6.7 percent.” Even worse, Austin noted that over the last 50 years, the black unemployment rate remained at a level either even or higher*than during a typical recession.The fact that black unemployment in America rose from 13.4 percent to 14.3 percent in October 2012 and President Obama still received 93 percent of the black vote tells you Democrats aren’t worried about losing this key bloc, despite little meaningful progress on unemployment or upward mobility.Decades of programs focused on wealth distribution and government dependency have largely proven ineffective in enacting significant change to the upward mobility of many communities of color.
While Obama’s Department of Justice is busy suing Louisiana in an attempt to deny the ability of largely poor black children to escape failing schools under the rubric of diversity, more than half of black men without a high-school diploma are unemployed today. This situation will not improve until black children are not castigated for “acting white” by trying to learn in school. And in case you were wondering, both the attorney general and the president send their children to private school.
Despite all the cries of Democrats that Republicans are seeking to disenfranchise black voters by imposing strict voter-ID requirements, the number of blacks who voted in states such as Indiana and Georgia after voter-ID laws were imposed*increased, rather than declined.The paternalistic notion that blacks are not capable of obtaining an ID tells you plenty about what many Democrats think of blacks in the 21st*century. Given that one cannot board a train, plane, purchase
alcohol, or enter Eric Holder’s Department of Justice without an ID, I suspect
ulterior motives may be at play, an approach more about keeping and obtaining
power at whatever the cost."
