“I’ll have those n*****s voting democrat for the next 200 years” - LBJ circa 1964
Still has to drain the swamp, there are still a lot a people on both sides of the Isle who do not like him and will go against him. He is a lot smarter than you give him credit for. You are so ate up with liberal ideas and talking points that you really are brain washed.So what are they waiting on? You act like the GOP doesn't control the executive and legislative branches of government. Why isn't Trump instructing his AG to go after Hillary and Obama? He said he would...just another lie you fell for.
Haspel was just confirmed. Look for articles/tweets suggesting illegal immigrants caught crossing the border will now be waterboarded.
Both. One with a positive spin, the other with a negative.From Fox News or CNN?
All that and you are still wrong. It has been proven time and again that the left has always up until recently been the party that opposed freeing the slaves, blocked the civil rights movement, blocked ending segregation, etc....the problem is, as I stated earlier, you failed then and only then did they realize their only chance at survival as a party and keeping minorities controled is to blame the republican party and shout as loud and as often as they could how much they care about minorities.And now the mental midget chirps in. Not only did I study civics, I also studied and learned history.
WC, please take a political history class. Pay special attention to groups like the Rockefeller Republicans, Goldwater Republicans, Dixiecrats, Boll weevils and Blue Dog Democrats. Please study the "Solid South" that voted "Democratic" in 23 straight elections between 1876 and 1964.
Please find where people like Strom Thurmond, George Wallace, et al are EVER described as liberals. Democrats yes, liberals...bite your tongue.
Who were the Dixiecrats? Are you aware that they were all "Dems" that split from the Democratic party in 1948 and ran Strom Thurmond for POTUS.
Their platform? States rights, Segregation and Social conservatism. Perhaps we should refer to them as DINOs...Democrats In Name Only.
Let's look at the vote on the Civil Rights act of 1964. Notice the great despair in votes between the Northern and Southern states? There was support and opposition from both sides but real ideological split was between north and south, not Democrats and Republicans.
The original House version:
The Senate version:
- Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
- Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
- Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
- Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
I always know I am dealing with an idiot when someone tries to intermix the terms liberal/conservative with Democrat/Republican when discussing political history. You sir take today's prize.
- Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
- Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
- Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
- Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)
Class dismissed.
While he's currently using two more women, trying to convince them to break their NDA's just to promote his political narrative, possibly leaving them on the hook for millions.
The fact that you would call southern Democrats circa 1860-1964 "the left" just reinforces what an idiot we already knew you to be.All that and you are still wrong. It has been proven time and again that the left has always up until recently been the party that opposed freeing the slaves, blocked the civil rights movement, blocked ending segregation, etc....the problem is, as I stated earlier, you failed then and only then did they realize their only chance at survival as a party and keeping minorities controled is to blame the republican party and shout as loud and as often as they could how much they care about minorities.
Not all classes were taught correctly or even by good teachers, go back to class or get your money back.
Go live in one of those other countries Fuzz because you obviously hate this one.The Cato Institute ( A conservative think tank) ranks the US 17th in the world in freedom. I see quite a few European nations ahead of us. So much for "less freedom".
The top 10 jurisdictions in order were Switzerland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Ireland, Australia, Finland, Norway, Denmark, and, tied at 9th place, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Selected countries rank as follows: Canada (11), Sweden (13), Germany (16), the United States (17),
Not true, what helps them live long is diet, surroundings, healthier lifestyles, perhaps you need to get out more.Except that so called "third rate healthcare" results in people living longer and overall more healthy.
You really need to get out and see the world.
You really need to get out more. Just come here for a month or so, talk to those who voted Obama and Hillary then, tell me what party is racist. You will find many in this state who are democrats who still use the n word when talking about blacks and Obama. They simply said they would never vote republican and had no choice. You really do not get out much. CNN and your liberal teachers really have done a number on you.The fact that you would call southern Democrats circa 1860-1964 "the left" just reinforces what an idiot we already knew you to be.
Actually he is saying that not all knowledge emanates from the USA, only a fool would disagree. There is a mountain of evidence that healthcare is far more adequately addressed by multiple countries all around the globe where profit motive is second to actual healthcare, ample enough evidence and different systems that we could address the issues here at home far better than we do. That is his very point and it is a good one.It sounds like he's advocating for globalism, to be more like Europe, big government and less freedom. Everything America was founded against and meant not to be.
The healthcare argument is a false equivalency. Those countries who "have figured it out" don't have a population of +300 million. It's virtually impossible for the US to give free healthcare to everyone. If we ever do the service will be overwhelmed and atrocious. There are reasons a lot of them choose come here for the best healthcare instead of their own country who has "figured it out".
Here in America we have a constitutional, God given right to bear arms. Why should law abiding citizens suffer the consequences from the actions of criminals? Those countries approach to guns is an affront to freedom. A society who punishes and denies its citizens because of the actions of criminals is not a free society and definitely not one I'm interested in.
do not want to know nearly as much as they want to convince
The place is as goofy as it ever was. Whitewater, Iran-Contra, and Watergate all lasted 4 years. Only Watergate had more indictments and convictions its first year than Mueller's investigation. 14 individual indictments, 3 corporations indicted, 5 convictions with some already in prison is not a small issue to be ignored because it is uncomfortable to a personable political position. People say they want to clean up Washington DC but mostly what they mean is they will only tolerate and support their particular brand of corruption. Convenient patriotism supported by malleable ethics.
The Constitution is designed to allow change. It's designed to uphold the will of the people and the framers knew that ideas change with time. Did you completely flunk civics or did you just never take the class?
Conservatives by definition are opposed to change. Conservatives opposed granting civil rights to women, blacks, gays, etc.So it's ok for you to go back in time and say conservatives did something, but we can't go back in time and point out what the democrats/liberals did. Cool rule. It reminds me of that other rule you made up to where you don't have to pay bets you make with people. Must be nice!
What changed that Republicans started referring to themselves as Conservatives and not Republicans. That any GOP politician that doesn't walk the party line is referred to as a RINO?
Time changes things. What was true in 1964 with regard to political parties isn't necessarily true today. Where are the Rockefeller Republicans today? Where are the Blue Dog Democrats today?
There are no absolutes. Political parties change over time that's why only idiots try to put what happened in one party 60 years ago as being the same people that do something today. Today's GOP claims to be for states rights...Lincoln is the dude that imposed that the federal could overrule the state. We had a war over that stuff.
If all that goes over your head then maybe you should study history and understand a bit more before you chirp in.
Let me add... why did the KKK used to support Democrats and now supports Republicans/conservatives?
“I’ll have those n*****s voting democrat for the next 200 years” - LBJ circa 1964
“All these people are dead but here is a positive” headline is not one you see everyday. Some of the responses were interesting.
“Now that’s f-cking lemonade” made me laugh
What makes you think I’m angry or white?
I was simply stating facts about the last admin and their actions in the way out.
Diversity just for the sake of diversity isn’t a strength, but that wasn’t why the phrase was used. It was being used to guilt people into accepting illegal immigration and mass numbers of refugees in order to secure the Democratic Party maintaining power.
As for diversity, do you remember that dolt who once posted that he desires "diversity of thought" in cities and communities? LMFAO was that you???
KS is the go to person on this.
You hear Yanni while the real world hears Laurel.For an "innocent" man Trump is doing a good job of sounding and acting exactly like Nixon did before he got squashed like a bug. .
How sick. One justifies the other?people die every minute, get over it. 4 soldiers died in a Niger ambush because of complete incompetence in an area they weren't even supposed to be. Guess what it's not a scandal, its just what happens in a world of flawed humans.
In 2024, I want a Haley/Sanders ticket.
And of course Snopes just had to fact check it. Can't be having conservatives spreading positive memes about Sanders. Seriously, I wouldn't put it past Snopes to fact check "Michelle Obama has a dick."
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is one of the most admired women in America.
Snopes fact-checked a popular conservative meme being shared on Facebook that claimed that Sanders is in the top 10 of most admired women in the U.S.
The site rated the claim as “true.”
So who the H is David Swanson? And you quoted him w/o quotes? How f-ed up.I think there is a lot of truth to this:
I think that when you limit your thinking to one country and identify one country as the source of all wisdom and development, then the fact that much of the rest of the world’s wealthy countries have more or less figured out health coverage doesn’t matter, doesn’t enter into the debate. Or that they’ve figured out gun violence. So we have these endless theoretical debates about what would happen if the police didn’t have guns, or if you had laws banning automatic weapons. And the fact that other countries have done it and you can observe what the results have been doesn’t enter into it. So the fact that the rest of the world has figured out better directions in terms of criminal punishment, moving away from mass incarceration and retributive justice, you know we’re impoverished.
We’re deprived of these sources of wisdom and these experiments in social advances by limiting our understanding to the United States. And the same thing deprives us of world history. You know, people in, kids in U.S. schools are taught almost entirely U.S. history, and as if it’s the only history that matters. We’re taught that, not just that the U.S., but we, identifying ourselves as the U.S. through eternity, we defeated the British in the revolution for freedom, as was necessary, without any mention of Canada, or Australia, or anywhere else that didn’t, and why it was better to have a war or not. We defeated slavery with a civil war, with no mention that much of the rest of the world defeated slavery without a civil war. And so we’re encouraged to support as having been right and necessary anything that the United States did, even if it was a much more mixed picture when you consider the rest of the world.
And so this habit of thinking then makes you prone to go along with whatever the U.S. government now says must be done is justified and necessary. And of course you’ve been trained, conditioned as a robotic little fascist to pledge your obedience to a flag, so that if somebody waves a flag, you are less able to see through what you might otherwise have been able to see through because they’re waving that flag at you.
David Swanson
This is most relevant to somebody. I suppose wackoes.
Everyone here does get hc, DA.Why does our population size mean we can't have healthcare?
Yeah, such a dolty thing to say.
Again, who cares if we're all a bunch of mindless fascists, demanding to people what they can or cannot say, what they can or cannot wear, constantly accusing anyone who believes differently of cultural appropriation, xenophobia, bigotry and racism; meanwhile, we're ate up with group think and obsessed with mob rule, but at least our skin is different colors, thus we have no need for independent thought. Yay for diversity.
