If they have donated to gay friendly causes, they're keeping it quiet. In addition to donating to anti-gay Senator Rick Santorum, the company has also been accused to encouraging young people to skip voting and being racially insensitive by selling Ghettopoly and a culturally ignorant chinese man costume.

translated: life (viva) the (la) race (raza). More accurately it prob. means something to the effect of " (long) live the (Hispanic) race." or maybe "life to the (Hispanic) race". Could also be "arise the (Hispanic) race".  A type of Resurrection of the (Hispanic) race (into power??). It is a rallying cry of some kind, definitely. Since they are mentioning a single race (in an aggressive tone), yes I would take it as racist. They aren't the only racially exclusive groups though, sadly. * the words in () mean that it is insinuated by the group saying it, and the situation in which it is said. Just like the 'Black Panthers' have their "Black pride", and the klu klux klan have their "white power". I believe ANY rhetoric pertaining to a single race, and exclusive of other races is racist. The problem is that phrases don't translate into English from other languages very well, so the true message can be (thinly) veiled. Fortunately the context in which it was said can't be hidden so easily. We know what they mean "viva la raza". *shivers* :(

Tim O'Reilly, one of the biggest proponents, has a nice article defining what its supporters say it is. (Link below)\n\nThe Register polled its users and got a slightly more cynical take. (Other link below)\n\nThe truth can be gleaned between the two - chances are, depending on who you talk to, they mean one of these two stances.

1. You are not asking a question--you are making a political statement.\n\n2. Either you are peed off that your candidate lost (and to Bush at that!), or you just spend too much time on the internet.

Rhetorical question, of course. The way to translate this "question" is, ......\n\n"I want for the American voters to elect people to deal with real issues and not gay marriage or flag burning."\n\nHere's my question: Since it is obvious that liberals prefer that judges "deal with" issues like flag burning and gay marriage, why don't the liberals ask for the judges to also "deal with" the issues of health care, education, social programs, debt management, foreign policy ......................? In fact, why don't liberals ask the judges to just take over the task of lawmaking from all of the legislatures since it is obvious that the legislatures never "deal with" the issues the way that liberals want them to?

No it isn't.  The green comes before the blue.\n\n\n,

Really? This is what you ask? You must be trying to find something to pin on a Democrat. Must be tough to be a Neo Con(vict) these days.

The term means "New Conservatives". Their ideology differs somewhat from that of the "Old Conservatives", whose  belief system is more consistent & above board. In other words, the real neo agenda is more hidden than the old conservatives'  agenda.\n\nThe original Conservative ideology was for government to stay out of the affairs of the private sector. They acted on the belief that business & individual matters is best left left with the people & not in government. The neocon record speaks for itself. Though they pay lip service to this philosophy, The actuality is, never before in this country has the Govt been more intrusive, at the expense of small business & the public at large.\n\nOpen mindedly comparing the records of Presidents Eisenhower, Ford & Reagan with Bush, Cheney, & Robertson will show the truth of this argument.

All of these answers in general, and this sophomoric question specifically, are AWESOME.\n\nIt's radical statements like these that continue to turn people off to the DNC when they hit the voting booth.\n\nPLEASE, PLEASE KEEP IT UP.

It's how they play "the game"... very dirty... all the swiftboat stuff in the last election... yikes... and they say the are the party of morals...hahaha... we all see how moral they are on here calling everyone names all the time... they will do anything to gain support on here, and get elected in real life... they have no concern over how they do it...\n\nIt often seems like conservatives don't understand the difference between talking about the issues in a negative way and calling someone a name... the issues are what's important and should be discussed critically, calling people  names gets nothing done..

Because they're contradicting themselves,\njust like they seem to do about almost everything...\nMy new political motto: Can't wait til 2008.
