Nope. It's not just you.

There are a handful here that are true believers. They succeeded at FR in destroying it as a conservative site, but they failed here. Their scripts didn't work probably because it was a smarter base audience. When us FR expats arrived, their job got harder because now they had the best from both places to deal with and we all see them posting how much they hate us.

Now that Donnie is totally tanking this and everyone can see he's tanking this, the browbeating will only increase until morale improves! It's SOP for liberals and Trump supporters are liberals. They back one. they 'are one'.

We all know that liberals don't take defeat well. They emote. they lash out and they throw themselves on the floor demanding their candy bar.

TLDR: No shock. It's who and what they are.

Man is not free unless government is limited.
Ronald Reagan

Tell us how Trump will limit government?

He is proposing a brand-new expensive entitlement in paid maternity leave.

He wants to compromise the 1st amendment so that he can go after the media when they criticize him

He wants to limit the ability of middle class Americans to buy low cost goods by taxing them on the price of those goods.

He wants to spend a half-trillion dollars on "infrastructure" which usually means pouring money into construction unions and the Teamsters.


Trump is all about big government.

This article is a month old.  Trump has spent the last week throwing away whatever capital he had built.  It is on him, not us.

Meanwhile, here's Trumpkin in full panic mode:



I caught Larry Elder's show the other night and he's sounding a little distressed. To his credit, unlike Hannity, he seems to recognize that if Trump loses, it will be his own fault
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Indeed and 100% correct. But Trump people have allergic aversions to facts like that. So I expect we'll see the lie pushed regardless. It's what they always do.

Today I have seen four of them pushing that meme in some form. They do not care about the truth. they only want their liberal in power. Which means they only want their version of liberalism governing America.

No, this is a conservative website...huge difference.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Back to the original topic, it should be pointed out that politicians are not employed by the Republican or Democrat party but by the people.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

This country is literally less than 90 days away from losing it if Hillary Clinton (and the trump hater$) get their way.

If we 'had our way', Trump - the Trojan Stalking Horse would not be the nominee. 

The country has already lost it, you people just refuse to realize it.

“He’s brought millions of new voters into the GOP,” Priebus added of Trump, nothing his 14.5 million votes during the GOP primary.

So you still haven't figured out that those "new voters" were Hillary supporters crossing over to vote for the easiest candidate to beat.

And voters who vote for liberals like Trump end up electing liberals.

Actually, it is a full trillion, making it larger than Obama's so-called 'stimulus' in 2009.  Trump goes farther left than even Obama, yet these sycophants line up for another glass of kool-aid.

Precisely why I keep fighting Trumpism.   We need a party that supports the Constitution and limited government.   That party has been hi-jacked this year by alt-right xenophobes who don't give a damn about the cause of human liberty.  I WANT IT BACK.

Republicans who stand there and let someone get murdered,   haven't murdered anyone.   


They have no fault and no guilt whatsoever,  because they have no OBLIGATION to stop  someone from being murdered. 


That about sum it up?

And if voting to stop evil accomplished anything, we would not be where we are right now as a nation.

Evil triumphed, because everyone assumes evil can be fixed in the courts or by the ballot box.

Funny considering we did not win our independence that way.

But no one remembers history anymore.  Just who they pledge themselves to politically or culturally.

I think they're hunting us down with dogs or something now....

I'd be a bit more understanding of the argument if someone could explain how it might be possible for a conservative to win in 2020 after Hillary wins next month.  Between the courts and the demographics, I just don't see it as possible.  That green-blooded hobgoblin Ted Cruz apparently looked at the situation logically, and reached the same conclusion.

How so?  I mean, voting and losing accomplishes nothing, I'll give you that.  But Obama won, twice.  Had he not won, I think we'd be in a better position than we are today, especially in terms of the Supreme Court.

Have you taken a poll or something?  I'd wager that a fairly high percentage of people believe that the courts or ballot box cannot always prevent an evil.

Why?? Because for you "sanity" requires voting for a degenerate leftist like Trump??

I'd say that it's far saner to stay far away from evil than it is to embrace it .
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Well not being evil yourself, that would make sense. But if you WERE evil, then electing someone with a lifetime liberalism that destroys little people for sport and destroys the foundations of conservatism would be the correct choice.

A handful here have chosen to side with a person that has everything in common with the philosophy he built his life on and nothing with conservative values or constitutional governance, both of which he has spoken and donated his own cash fighting against.

What it makes them is pretty obvious.
