I just saw this thread tonight. I just can't believe the vitriol. Is this what happens when an establishment loses its grip on power? It sounds more like the losing side in an out and out revolution. I firmly believe that folks like D.C. Would never act this way if his choice was losing. The more Trump gains, the crazier it gets. Many have said that they are going to support the nominee period. Since that is so there is no reason for such vitriol. I hate to take sides when I wasn't in the fight, but it always seems the ad hominem attacks begin with the extreme anti-Trump side.
Thank you for noticing, Scott!
At first...for many months now, I've taken the insults and vitriol in stride...in good nature. I did this because I know how Trump's style can grate on people.
Yet, as his numbers rise after each "This time we got the SOB!!", they've gotten more personal and hate-filled.
Don't think I've ever initiated an insult or used a stupid juvenile meme as I have tonight....unless they really get personal.
And Oceander got personal....even suggesting that I might, if he gave me his address, that I'd go and shoot him. WTF??
That's why I posted the crack pipe meme....because he'd gone over the cliff. He's pompous and sanctimonious and he relishes and wears it proudly....anytime the brass in here call him on it.
My two sons both unfriended me on FaceBook because of my sharing posts of an anti-radical Islamic nature. They think that because they converted to Islam, that I should not speak out.
I love my country, and I'm not ashamed that I've literally broken down in tears and sobs over what administration has done to MY country. The country that I grew up loving. And here, they blame the USA for everything happening in the world. Or, the Jews. Or Capitalism.
That's right. My son Cliff told me last week "It's effing Capitalism to blame for the black man's woes and the problems in our society"
This, from a guy who, before he lost his leg, was making a half million a year. Who, I "rescued" from Buffalo when he sold commercial time on cable for $40K per year.
Then I think.....how many other MILLIONS of American families are suffering the same acrimony among themselves.
I'm going to be seventy years old next August, God willing. I pray I last until I see who wins next November. It's all I want. He can take me after that.
I don't care anymore.
Sorry....can't go on....
