    Which is why people still think so highly of republicans.

    :unsure: Too far? Too soon?

    I wonder... where was that tie made.....


    I don't consider myself republican or democrat. Yet, I judge... hmm.....
    Does that make me an independent party or just yet another asshat?

    (To clarify, I speak of politicians, not individual citizens)

    Oh very much, it's just that we know the other people were wrong, but just because they were wrong, does not mean I am, I am a different person after all, I just be judged separately.

    Also keep in mind I've said in past posts I am one who does accept Global Warming and other science based facts, when many fellow "Christians in name only" don't.

    But given Revelation and what it says regarding two distinct Sons of Perdition, especially given the rise of Trump in the west, and compounding the weather effect records of (storm power, heat and cold snap records never before seen and being shattered every year on both extremes of the temperature scale), and rise of diseases of both Ebola, Zika viruses, and antibiotic resistant pests and bacterium, AND a few supernatural things that's occurred that match scriptural warnings (Trumpets of Revelation) sounding and nobody claiming responsibility for those sounds (and such noises I heard both in my town personally and the same things happening and posted by others in their communities and uploaded to Youtube).

    Sorry I just have that weird hunch, and past commentators who made such claims did not have all these occurrences in the right sequential order accordance to scripture before they made their claims.

    The 2016 Republican National Convention will be held in Cleveland at the Quicken Loans Arena July 18-21.

    Be there if you can make it but wear a helmet! With all the violence and protests that have already happened, this is going to make Chicago 1968 look like a Rainbow Gathering.

    Trump Supporter Leaving Trump Rally: "Go Back to Auschwitz! Go Back to F'n Auschwitz!"

    [SIZE=11pt]http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2016/03/15/trump-supporter-leaving-trump-rally-go-back-to-auschwitz-go-back-to-fn-auschwitz-n2133518[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=11pt]This is from Townhall the right wing news and opinion website and in it long time contributor to that website Ann Coulter is attacked. [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=11pt]While on the same page Pat Buchanan called the people demonstrating against Trump ‘brown shirts’ [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=11pt]http://townhall.com/columnists/patbuchanan/2016/03/15/brownshirts--republican-wimps-n2133771[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=11pt]And the same civil war seems to be going on at other right wing websites with many saying they would not vote for Trump if he gets the nomination and even vote for the Democratic party. [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=11pt]Thing is I have the same worry Karen has that the only thing worse than a two party political system is a one party system. [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=14.6667px]And there's the real Bingo moment we should all be sharing. I'm amazed by how so many people seem to think that their party is the one and only solution to all of the ills of humankind or that we will never know happiness until the other party is destroyed "by any means necessary". ALL of this shit has happened before, enough times that you'd think we as a species would eventually learn the hard wrought lessons others have paid through the centuries. Nope![/SIZE]
    [SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=14.6667px]We make the same mistakes over and over because we are using brains designed for living in forests and the like. Humanity has made a lot of clever advances in thinking and technology over the years, sure. But we still use the solutions in the same old way. I remember when Twitter was actually interesting because you could follow interesting people and channel them vicariously or by proxy. These days it's a battleground where I get to read hostility 24/7. It has been known to blow my buzz, a fucking crime![/SIZE]
    [SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=14.6667px]American politics has always had a hostile edge, hell, they used to have duels and shit. It's rumored there's a bondage room in the white house that used to be a civil war era torture chamber for interrogating rebels. I didn't like seeing that group in Chicago silence Trump for the same reason I didn't like those two girls taking the mic from Bernie. It's the kind of politics that the US system abhors, or is supposed to. The presidential salary is $400K. Why are millionaires and now a billionaire fighting for that job? [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=14.6667px]Tonight will break new ground in US politics. Never has the second super Tuesday primary been so critical. Usually the wallflowers have faded already. I still think Trump will bring war, but I think Clinton will bring peace through bribery, again. Ultimately I think we'll see those two face off. I'll be back from the middle east in time for at least 1 of the post-primary debates. A good time to drink for every cheap shot while in chat![/SIZE]

    I honestly think Donald Trump has to run its course. If something drastic like the Republicans not recognizing him as their candidate happens it does not change anything. It will only split the party. We need to have something similar to Germany and Hitler happen. A leader comes along that is so evil that the country becomes sensitive to anything like that in the future. .

    The people want Trump he is just an extension of the Tea Party hate. Seeing that party form was the first time I saw racism being so out in the open. Of course they had every other reason in the book why they didn't like Obama and I am sure some of them really meant that. But plenty of them just didn't like the idea of black man being in charge.

    I think the the politician= Hitler because I don't like them anthology is overused in American politics. But off all the candidates I have seen in my life the words and behavior of Trump and his supporters remind me very much of Hitler. If you are not white there is a good chance you will be assaulted at a Trump rally. I have seen people doing the Hitler salute with their arm extended there. The KKK openly endorses him. I've never seen anything like this. The KKK has voted Republican for decades but they were never welcome voters. You would have not been able to come openly supporting them without you being the one who risks an assault.

    Hitler didn't have nuclear weapons. We do, and we don't want someone who reminds us of Hitler to be in charge of a country with a massive nuclear arsenal.

    Great hands down wins except ohio, which don't matter when 'winner takes all' in IL!

    The best thing, there will be even more votes for him come Nov. I know quite a few who are first time voters, for trump only. Plus all the people they know who have never voted! It will be an epic landslide victory!

    You may have a point. If this is what it takes to get through to the average americen citizen and get them to use their brain in order to get some progressive change lets get him. And seriously, he's a clown but he seems really not that stupid to use a nuclear weapon any time soon.
    If USA gets Clinton first it will most likely only be postponed 4 years. Let's get to the bottom right away and then climb up (I understand: easy to say for an european in this case of course). I'm looking at the longer term though.

    Once again you are delusional. First of all, more people have voted for Hillary, in the primaries, than have voted for drumpf. Secondly, drumpf has a seventy percent disapproval rating amongst republicans.
    What you will see, come November is many republicans voting for Hillary.

    I met 4 different trump supporters last night ( I play on a pool team and we occasionally have to travel to various redneck bars - just to give a brief background on why I was hanging out with a bunch of Trunp supporters) who told me they hope Trump picks Bernie Sanders as his running mate.

    Obviously it would never happen but I found it interesting so many Trump supporters also like Bernie Sanders.

    It shouldn't be any confusion at all. After the mid-terms a LOT of people were disillusioned by the people who were elected as most went back on their campaign promises. People in the US are sick of these lying, fake-ass career politicians. Trump and Sanders have both upset the system quite well. If not for Sanders there would have been 2 democrat debates and no more as the party threw in for Hillary.

    Another thing, saying "various redneck bars" barely raises an eyebrow, but if you had said "various ghetto bars" it would have been another matter. You'd be accused of being insensitive before having your facebook page exposed and protesters in front of your house. An ethnic poke is an ethnic poke, but "thankfully" making fun of white people is still ok and legal!

    This again lol.

    A couple of points -

    I'm white and I reserve the right to make fun of my own people.

    I also wouldn't hesitate to point out a ghetto bar. A skeazy bar is a skeazy bar.

    Also, believe it or not I thought about you at this redneck bar - a guy yelled across the bar at my friend and I, "where are you from drinking past blue ribbon? We rednecks drink that where I come from!" (

    So like I was telling you earlier, it's mostly rednecks who use the term rednecks. It really isn't a big deal. It's like how black people can say nigga all day long and get away with it.

    I would also like to add I get along just fine with the clientele at these redneck bars. They're salt of the earth people and I like them despite the fact that they fell for Trump's bs.

    Some dive bars are more rednecky than others. I see it an adjective to describe the ambiance.

    My point is that as long as we have all these excellent and justifiable reasons to make fun of people for just being different, we will leave the door to bigotry and racism wide open. Trump fired a guy on his show for referring to himself as "white trash" because even Trump, the supposed Nazi and klansman, knows that it's wrong to keep those kinds of stereotypes alive and in conversation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A-Z5sRwgLM

    Can you imagine where we might be in the US if the word "******" was eliminated from the lexicon entirely by say 1970? Nobody should ever use that word or any other bigoted/racist addressings like that. Saying that I am "allowed" to use redneck because I'm white, would also be racist. Is one sort of bigotry somehow better than another?
