    Democrat's attitude to Orlando is to research the matter and then take EFFECTIVE steps against them.

    Trump's attitude is to do a lot of chest beating and take the very steps ISIS wants us to, to make the problem worse

    I'm betting that Trump may be the first candidate in modern times to not take even ONE state. We will see

    Forgive my incomplete knowledge of Italian history. Is that the constitution of 473 bc, 44bc, 1025 ad, 1870 or 1946?
    Did it apply to a sick Polish-born Jewish Gypsy in 1943?
    If you expect NATO to protect you, shouldn't you at least pay the American troops stationed in Italy. We're you protected by the Triple Alliance before 1914. They were counting on you in that war you know, and might have won if you didn't betray them.

    Actually the Republic had declared in 1946, the Constitution had published on January 1st 1948. Just for accuracy. So the "sick Polish-born Jewish Gypsy" would have still seen the Statute and the laws of the Kingdom [racial laws inspired by the Nazi ally included, unfortunately].

    Well, regarding NATO, you know, before than WW II started at London a journalist asked to a British general which power would have won next war ... he answered that he didn't know which power would have won, but he knew which power would have lost: the power with Italy as ally [so US should be careful!!!!].

    I happen to think that if Italy had invaded France in 1914 taking the same route they did in 1940 France would have surrendered. Britain would have settled quickly requesting only reparations for Belgium. If Russia wished to continue against Germany they would have had problems knowing Italy was ready to backup Germany if necessary.
    The third Balkan War might have been messy but the other thing would barely earn a name.
    No one attacked Italy after 1870 did they, except on the ill-advised thought it was the soft underbelly ripe for easy victory in 1943?

    boy I would like to take that bet, there is a valid train of thought that predicts the exact opposite actually. The polls, for what they are worth, and to a liberal they have always seemed the absolute, so look at them, Hillary is slipping at a rapid pace. Especially in the swing states. people just don't trust her. And Trumps success as I predict it will have little to do with what he represents, and more to do with what he doesn't.

    What bothers me is the use of the word entitlements.
    If you paid $30000 to social security in 47 years you're entitled to $30000. After that it's a gift.
    If you lost your job or were born poor you're not entitled to anything above those born rich or keeping a job. Sold9iers and government workers are entitled to a pension only because they signed a contract.
    When we call these things by the right words maybe people will stop claiming they deserve these gifts.

    When we stop making things up we can have a legitimate conversation is more like it.

    Who in this great country can work 47 years and only pay 30000 into social security? Think before you post something like that. You're simply not talking about the norm, and then try to make an argument talking about the norm. Make's it difficult to respond to you in any other way than to simply dispute the validity of your thought process.

    1937-1984 your peak income might have been $30000 per year. Also if you were self-employed, independent contractor or worked many temp jobs with low incomes you might get there, but let me rephrase the point.
    One year when I read the form from Social Security I learned that if I worked no more under Social until retirement and lived to age 73 I'd get more back than I paid in.
    If that's the standard rate with present life expectancy most will get more than they gave. I know several individuals who got more than they paid.
    When you pass the breakeven point it becomes a gift not an entitlement, unless getting old entitles you to something, but we don't just give money to old people for getting old and if we did it would not be an entitlement.
    It's the words we use that warp people's thinking.
    Abortion is killing babies. It's legal but it's not nice.\
    Plea Bargaining is getting pardoned for a crime.
    Call things by their right names and people will think differently about them. That's all I'm saying right now.

    Pretty much everyone is going to agree that we should use the right names for things, but people don't agree on what the right names are. For instance, most pro-choicers would regard calling abortion "killing babies" as inaccurate.

    Stopping a beating heart on purpose is called killing even if it's a fly. Pro-choice is not quite the same as pro-abortion, but only a few pro-choicers are opposed to all abortion. I do understand that a person who calls himself pro-life but supports the death penalty, wars, eating meat and swatting flies is misusing the term a bit too.'
    Is something less sinful, evil, bad or wrong because it's called by a nicer name?

    If I can kiss Hillary Klinton and her Gun Ban cankles goodbye, it will have been well worth it.

    Nothing Democrats give is Free, You pay by giving up American jobs and a better Economy and National Security and Liberty.....and Guns etc...

    I don't think the Democrats have anything else to give away.
    A higher minimum wage is mostly financial aid to middleclass white kids. They can live without it.
    The minorities Democrats are pandering to now are not minorities but mico-orities (with so few members most of us will never notice).

    Umm no, you're thinking of that sickly old hag with the voice of a 90 year old with a chronic smoking addiction.

    The only thing the fanatical left has is their fake polls, which constantly show a sickly, decrpit hag who can barely stand and has a hard time filling a broom clost with her supporters, soundly defeating a man who is the picture of perfect health, and commonly attracts 1000s at his rallies.

    Even Stevie Wonder can see the polls are fake!

    Both parties have failed us. They’ve brought us the worst candidates imaginable. My prediction is that most everyone will be unhappy, no matter which sleaze-ball wins. I’m an Independent, and I hate both of them.

    Putin’s Butt-Boy belongs in a rubber room.

    And, the Hag and her predator husband shouldn’t be allowed within fifty miles of the White House.

    *************************************************************************

    My song for the candidates;

    A buzzard is two faced, a buzzard is two faced, he'll lead you to sin, and you'll never win, a buzzard is two faced, a-hooey a-hooey, a buzzard is two faced..........

    I will vote for Trump, the lesser of the two faced buzzards......

    I wrote Hillary's campaign song long ago (to the tune of How lucky can you get-Streisand).
    4 people are dead in Benghazi, Libya.
    What difference does it make?
    (Barack Obama, Barack Obama)
    Lied about getting shot at in a war zone.
    What difference does it make?
    (Barack Obama, Barack Obama)
    Shredded evidence back in the 1990s.
    Don't believe those vast right-wing conspiracies,
    Just forget 'bout everything and vote for me.
    I'll be a great President.
    If not what difference does it make?

    No matter which candidate wins, there will be violence. We have nearly half of the country that doesn't respect democracy, as well as thinks that law enforcement is racist for enforcing the law.

    I think if Trump wins, and actually goes through with his plans on deportation of criminal aliens, he's going to have to declare a state of emergency, at least.

    I think if the scag wins, she'll probably get impeached right when she's worn in, and Timmy Kaine will be forced to toe the line. He won't have the luxury of ignoring our laws like his predecessor.

    Thank you for registering.
    My opinion that a woman must be even weaker in the elections, because she is a woman . It`s normal, you must provide a chance.Alas, the reality is always different.
    Respect of Russia.

    I'm now calling it for Clinton with 334 electoral votes.

    The reality tv performer will become hysterical and insist that the election was rigged by thousands and thousands of evil fat Hispanic ladies from New Jersey.

    Clinton will cackle.
