    We've been in a world war for about 10 years now, only most of you folks can't see it. And spare me the 'oooh, we're all gonna be nuked an DIE!!' I really can't see it - and I live in a freaking missile field.

    Perhaps you should get away from the leftists coasts, if that is indeed where you live. Here in the flyover country, we tend to be pretty generous.

    Oh yes - as for anti-gay, which the gay community tries to label him: I cannot imagine that a successful hotelier, in New York City, is not aware that there are many, many, many homosexual people on his staff, and I'm sure that he hires the competent ones because, frankly, I can't imagine he cares who one beds. Indeed, perhaps, as a straight man he sees gay men as less competition for getting beautiful women into HIS bed. Of course, he's married to an absolute stunner.

    Indeed, that's the dirty little secret the left doesn't want people to realize: that administration was nihilistic, anti-American, and anti-western. Who allowed Iran to get advanced enough that she will get nuclear bombs? Why, the Democrats in the Obama administration. Who presided over the complete destabilization of the Islamic world, which makes everyone, ironically including the people who practice Islam, less safe? The Democrats in the Obama administration. Who tried desperately to destroy the remaining industrial plant in the US? Guess who! Yes, Trump IS vulgar. On the other hand, the Democrats say Bill Clinton was cultured - and he fornicated with an employee with a cigar and via oral sex. So...who is the more vulgar? (I cannot speak about Obama in this context as that crud has not yet, er, come out.). The Democrats have been useful idiots for a long time.

    Huh? If you're referring to constitutional protections - you're quite wrong. The US constitution determines what government can do - aka "Congress shall make no law..." but maybe I misunderstand what you mean.

    Indeed. The Rs portraying the Ds as elitist hypocrites was indeed true. Of course, the fact that the beltway Rs are also elitist hypocrites was unmentioned.

  13. Stop trolling. If you came to the middle of the country and especially if you get away from liberal ghettos like Denver, you'd see we do like it here in the heartland. But then again, please don't do that. Stay away. We're all a bunch of gun toting hillbillies here who would eat your liver for lunch.

  14. Country music is racist? Not that I've noticed...indeed, it doesn't talk about race at all. Especially the modern stuff, but even the old stuff. Oh, but wait, it was mostly poor white folks who sang it long ago, so according to your playbook they're all racists. Grow up.

    So you think the paying money to North Korea would end up cleaning up the planet? More, I'd rather see the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe rebuild their own infrastructures and manufacturing economies to build stuff cheaply and with low environmental impact, which the citizens of these lands care about.

    Let me start off saying I am a Yank not a European. From what i can see, with their incredible perqs, the MEPs etc. don't need bribery - they get it at taxpayer expense - but still, most of the money for education seems to come from EU member states - who are more like our American states - and so the differences aren't as large as you might think. The biggest problem in the US is that a) everyone has to "win" b) we are an anti-intellectual society. We've always been an anti-intellectual society and it's gotten worse in recent decades. We confuse ability to use technology with an ability to reason. Really, from what I gather about 90% of the population doesn't care about education of their own kids, much less education of other people's children. They do care if the kids aren't doing team sports in school, though. Rah, rah. All I can do is point to the decline in critical thinking in US politics on both sides of the aisle as proof this is true.
