It's called an opinion. What the heck? I'm not allowed to my own opinion? This is what is wrong with you people!
Nah. Conservatives hold to most of the principles of our founders, absent slavery and women's suffrage.
Concept fail. Our founders were the radical liberals of their day. Tories/loyalists were the conservatives. You obviously would have been a loyalist.
Of course you are. And I'm allowed to say your opinion is utter bullshit. Isn't it lovely how that works?
We need enlightened progressive liberals to tell us how to think and what our opinions are. Thank you so much Phyxius!
Well, you do seem to be more than a little confused as to the actual meaning of the words you're using, soooooooo... yeah.
Yeah, liberals hijacked the word liberal. Just like they've hijacked the words racist, bigot, and everything else.
No, I'm expressing my opinion. No one is required to agree with, or even respect how you feel about things. Take a Midol and deal with it.
It's not revisionist. Liberals - long ago, supported free speech and opposed burning down federal courthouses because they didn't get enough free stuff. Save that tripe for someone else.
No. Again - revisionist history ain't gonna save you. Conservative - holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion. Liberal - open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values. Tories, Confederates, Jim Crow era Southern whites, Antebellum Democrats -- those were conservatives. They didn't want to change the status quo. Patriots, Radical Republicans, Civil Rights protesters, modern Democrats -- those were/are liberals. They had no problem turning the status quo on its head.
There is ultimately no single individual responsible for the division. Rather the problem is an extension of human nature itself. Human nature does not want unity, it wants division, ultimately needs division, so individual members can fight amongst themselves.
Ha ha, yeah, you really want people to think for themselves and then arrive at YOUR truth. Racism wasn’t invented by Trump, but he certainly won their votes. Indeed, he has the support of many racists who also agree that America is being destroyed by non whites as your second paragraph indicates. So when you think on that simple fact, what truth do you arrive at?
I know its difficult for a lot of people that frequent this forum to understand, but some of your extreme fringe political views are radical.
America has lots of divisions. Some are better at exploiting them than others, and that is true on both sides of the aisle. Independents outnumber D's and they outnumber R's. Soon they will outnumber both. Rubbing ass across the rough edge of those divisions is how they exploit the others into voting for them.
In summary, the former owners of the Democrat Plantation are still angry that we took away their slaves. The lazy slave owners didn't have a single skill since their slaves did everything for them. All that was left was to form the KKK to string up freed slaves and Republicans who went south to educate former slaves ,,, people that Democrats didn't want to be educated. Eventually, blacks moved north and hapless, worthless Democrats followed them. Woodrow Wilson, the patron saint of progressivism, was also the most racist president in history. His final solution for blacks was segregation, abortion, and sterilization. He saved the Nazis alot of work. All they had to do was replace Negro with Jew to write their laws. FDR followed. He wrote the New Deal to exclude blacks, but the little bit that snuck through was alot of money to blacks that Democrats kept in poverty. After around 1936, Democrats got 70% of the black vote. Since racism in the Democrat South was waning, LBJ had to do something. His plan was to transform the Southern Plantation and the Northern Plantations Democrats created in Northern cities into a National Plantation by rewarding parenting kids out of wedlock and giving blacks the vote. In short, people on the Democrats' Southern Plantations who worked but could not vote were now allowed to vote but didn't have to work as long as they had illegitimate kids and voted for Democrats. Democrats' economic slavery started netting 90% of the black vote. With blacks being successful and breaking out of the inner city hell holes Democrats created for them, Democrats needed new slaves ,,, Latinos, preferably illegals since illegals will always be loyal to their Democrat Massa. Along comes Trump raining on their parade. And an election year that could put the SCOTUS out of reach of the radicals. So, Democrats staged pallets of bricks around the country waiting for an incitement that would cause violent protests. In sync with this, Soros has been pouring megabucks to install Attorneys General and Prosecutors that will allow riots to go unpunished. George Floyd was the incitement.
Race is a smoking mirror kept alive by the left. The REAL division is an answer to the following...... Do we want to be a Nation of Individual Liberty as suggested in our Bill of Rights......or should we become a collective State guided by an elite who knows what's best? Example: will you wear a mask when appropriate or should the state mandate it? That is cause for division.
Just because we don't allow our allies to rip us off anymore, doesn't mean they won't respect us in a real crisis. Most still hopefully suck at the tit of globalism, but ChinaVirus disallusioned many of them.
My post is accurate, but I understand if it is too much for you to digest. If you don’t have the interest to respond, then don’t. Or do and whine about it… And no, you didn’t
So you completely give up then? Let me know when you can figure out when (a specific time period) America was great as per the bumpersticker you keep regurgitating.
Sure it's in the above posts several times. It's been great since 1776 with a few crappy times under Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Carter, Blow Job Clinton and Kenyan President Obama.
