Growing up black doesn't impart common culture into black people? Race is a suite of attributes, just like philosophy is a suite of positions. Not every person in a racial group has the same distribution of attributes and not every person who adheres to a world view has the same distribution of positions.
No it does not. I recently moved to Atlanta from Michigan, and the culture of whites and blacks is significantly different. I live in a rich gated community right now. The blacks here are significantly different from the blacks in the inner city of Atlanta(so are the whites). This is not complicated stuff. Race is a minor aspect of what people are.
A liberal living in a rich, gated community... :shock:
I know. It was worse when I was in the navy. A liberal in the navy stands out.
I sense a movement in the force. The cognitive dissonance is strong in this one.

A diversity loving liberal living in a gated community to keep the full flavored aroma of diversity at bay.
It's actually pretty diverse. We have here that I know of blacks, whites, hispanics and asians. They are all wealthy.
Well, except for me, I just work here, and in fact that is what I am doing now.

Finally a cancidate I can vote for with a track record

As many of his fellow candidates flooded Iowa over the weekend to woo voters at the Ames Straw Poll, Mr. Perry announced that he was seeking the Republican nomination the RedState Gathering, an annual convention of conservative bloggers.
"I came to South Carolina because I will not sit back and accept the path that America is on, because a great country requires a better direction, because a renewed nation needs a new president," he said. "It is time to get America working again, and that’s why with the support of my family and unwavering belief in the goodness of America, I declare to you today as
Or, because Bush was a conservative with a similar background to Perry and similar positions on issues, they might be similar...HOLY COW, that actually makes sense and follows logically!
So you're in favor of big government and massive deficits?
Texas' budget deficit was actually in line with other states as a total percentage of it's revenue and general ledger. More money, bigger gap. That tends to happen...
As for the "big government" thing....depends on the issue.
Right, the so-called Texas miracle was a mirage created because Texas does two-year budgets. And over half of Texas' job growth consisted of new government jobs.
