    To be fair, both sides want to spend. Neither will fix the budget. They just argue about where the money should go.


    The full socialists are in their own league though. The “free college pod by the rich, single payer healthcare” wack jobs.

    The full socialists don't realize that "the rich" are like the "old growth forests" they seek to protect . . . because once they're cut down, they're not coming back. If you constantly rob from the rich to pay for the cheese for all, then there's no incentive to build, earn, work, save, and try to become rich. Why? Because it'll all be stripped away from you via expropriation and taxes.

    Maybe they could do something to motivate their base, like... I don't know....how about promise to repeal ObamaCare.....again.


    Why? its just a BS promise from the John Cornyn types. There are several that truly believe in the repeal Like Ted Cruz & then there are the others that just talk a good game. I heard Matt Patrick interview Cornyn when it came to voting & repealing Obama Care in 2013. Instead of Cornyn voting NO, he votes yes & says ... we will have the power later to repeal ... WTF??????? Why even vote YES to move it up the chain... stop it now while we have the chance.


    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...enate-shutdown-vote-obamacare-defund/2861569/

    "The chamber's top two Republicans, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, said Monday that they will not vote with Cruz on Wednesday, a clear signal that there are the 60 votes necessary to move forward with the debate on the spending bill."

    Ted Cruz is an asshead, always will be, and always was. Does that mean I am Beto supporter? No. John Cornyn is a pompous asshat too. But, the Dems pissed me off so much, I won't even vote Libertarian this time.

    Other than the mess with the Kavanaugh A-Holes, I fear the climate in our country is going to become more and more divided. LOCK AND LOAD, my friends!
    I agree and sadly i will break on race and class lines. The liberal whites within the democrat party think they will be the ruling class and the black and brown foot soldiers will just fall in line.

    11/6 will bring changes. + for conservatives I believe but the left isn't going away. If anything, it got worse after the POTUS election and will get worse after the mid-terms. At some point, we are gonna have to deal with the "resistors". Many are averse to violence but you don't stop bullies by talking to them or castigating them on social media. I think our failure to deal with them will continue to decay the Republic. A first step would be to bring charges against those in govt. that have committed treason - HRC for example. Comey for another. We won't even do that.

    Someone stated it was a culture war and I guess on the surface it might appear that way. Me, I think it is a spiritual issue as old as time, good vs. evil, angels vs. demons and God vs. Devil. If you are a Christian and believe the Bible, it will only get worse before it gets better. Embrace the grind and be ready.

    Noticed ole Eric Holder is mouthing off, advocating actions other than peaceful demonstrations. He should be charged with Fast & Furious scheme, resulting in death of Border Patrolman Terry.

    Two, actually. They hushed up the second one in Arizona. The rest of us when we got the e-mail could read between the lines. Eric Holder is a murderer that looks like a human sloth.

    We could make a long list. Don't forget Lerner or Kerry and of course the grand poobah himself, BHO. The pillars of the Republic are decayed with our own apathy, selfishness, and greed. It is difficult to do the right thing and much easier to do wrong.
    Filter that down to the general population and you see things like Portland. Hell, FN Chicago just ran a story where a guy built a bomb and planned to detonate it on election day. Parenting matters, respect for law and authority matter, compassion for our fellow man matters and people in general can not even do that.
    We are a mess as we continue to give God the middle finger. Sounds like I am going off topic from the OP subject but I guarantee, it IS all related.

    Yeah, heard that Holder said "If the republicans go low, kick them". It's rhetoric like that, no matter how he meant it, that sends people out to shoot others based on their political views, as if it's ok as long as they are on the opposite side of the spectrum. Trump had every right to slam him, talk like that IS dangerous.

    Ever since TWPE, (the worst president ever)
    Obama) and the left has had an agenda to bring our great country into a shit hole. To be perfectly clear, I am not going to sit back and watch that happen. And you shouldn't either. Let me be perfectly clear. I'm NOT preaching violence. What I am preaching however, is for those of us in here to unite and stand your ground and your values. Never trust a liberal.

    The radical left is killing itself. The center left makes up the majority of “the left” and they aren’t interested in all the insanity. The party has moved away from them and for many they are in a position where they now have more in common with the right.

    The wackjobs on TV constitute around 8-10% of the population. If you were to map them out I’m sure you would find them heavily centered around certain areas of the country. They are screaming and gnashing their way in to the history books.

    Meanwhile, the Republican Party is gaining popularity by simply not being raving lunatics. Sure, he media covers the protests and tries to twist the narrative but it’s not working. And the regressive left is combatting this by doubling and tripling down.

    The only thing the right needs to do to win this battle is to continue to stand up for free speech and individual liberty while making it clear they do not support leftist tactics no matter which side the actor is on.

    A few like to talk about fighting back using the Regressive lefts tactics against them. I will say that is a terrible plan. That’s like watching someone losing a chess game and deciding to adopt their strategy. You never copy they guy that’s losing unless you want to lose too.

    Several good points.

    Having spent time on the left coast and some in the NE, I would have to say that the left wingers are more like 30-40% of our population. We are largely sheltered here in Texas.

    I will have to find the report I’ve found sourced several times by both left and right leaning media. Although the left leaning media I watch is more of a liberal guy who does very centered coverage.

    To clarify my statements though. Only about 8-10% of the population constitutes the active left or fringe left. This compares to 25% of the population falling in to the category of traditional right. The remainder fall somewhere closer to center and are largely burnt out on the political battle taking place.

    So, far more than 8% of the population leans left. But most of the remainder aren’t completely insane and most would rather be left alone than force their will on others. The differences in politics still exist, and always will. But they don’t want to disband the senate and rewrite the constitution because they feel it’s unfair.

    I will see if I can find the source of the info. I would normally have questioned it a bit more already but both a lefty libertarian (Tim Poole) and Ben Shapiro discussed the findings reaching the same conclusion.

    For the traditional Dems there is a life long history of distrust of the Republican Party. The Democrats were supposed to be for the working man. Now the working man is being thrown out and Dems are left to consider what they believed to be the rich mans party. Many are realizing that regardless of how they feel about the Rs, the Dems have gone completely off the rails.

    Trumps rise is pretty interesting when you think about it though. He can be a real ass. He’s extremely wealthy. But he connected to the working class and suddenly the man the Dem party framed as Satan was pulling votes that had been given to Obama twice. At the same time, he’s a lifelong Dem who was suddenly pulling votes from the conservative base. In reality, he’s really not a conservative. He’s just very proud and protective of his country. I think that is what really crossed the party lines.

    How come when someone farts, most people are disgusted. But, that very same person who was digusted will eventually fart and not say a word. I've wondered about that most of my life. Strange. So, when someone farts and is busted, what's a person to do?

    I'm trying to figure out if that's a right turn or a left turn to the thread.
