Post of the week as far as I'm concerned!!

Congratulations @alicewonders

Thank you Bigun.  This is war - we had better hang together - or we will hang separately.  And if anyone doubts where this all is heading - I've got some ocean-front property on the Ohio River to sell them.

Wake up people!  We are under attack.

Some of the people here seem to be quite comfortable on the other side, using their talking points and biased, and even dishonest news.  In fact, have you noticed?  It's about all they do!  They use Leftist memes with disturbing regularity.  It's one thing to allow a wide range of views - but at some point - when is enough?  If a poster has vowed to double down on the use of leftist resources.......

When does it cross over into aiding the enemy?  The common enemy, those that wish to destroy our country - and have damned near done it!  Would Ronald Reagan be putting up with this?  I don't think so.  Sometimes, in an attempt to have a "big tent" - undesirables slip in - usurpers, moles, professional agitators.  I believe we have several here - just calling yourself conservative isn't enough.  Let's weigh what is actually being said and promoted and make an assessment then. 

I think this kind of "resistance" is detrimental to the President's attempt to clean up Washington DC.  It really disturbs me too.

I've noticed. Either accept the leftwing propaganda or risk being called a "snowflake". LOL

Here's a link to a story most would find totally unrelated to what we are talking about here but my question is is it really?

And its immature to call someone a Muslim because they don't agree with Trump. 

Obama helped the terrorists and so is Trump.  Went from one liberal to another.  Flynn the Democrat probably helped form his ban based on the Obama list.  Which is small for good reason.  Because he didn't want to designate terrorist nations terrorists.  Your still praising Secretary Clinton while terrorists from many countries can come in without question.

So good job on you pretending that you are safe.

Your (not you're) hinge....

find it.

And while you're (not your) at it....

show me where anyone HERE is praising Hillary Clinton.
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

She should lose her job and should be held in some kind of contempt.  The families of the victims should be able to see that she is accountable.  I would think she should be arrested. 

Unbelievable that this is going on.  Build the damned wall and enforce the damned laws!

Right!

She should lose her job and then be prosecuted to the max! Minimum charge, Aiding and abetting!

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Sure, and while you're at it post critiques from The Nation, The Progressive, The New Republic, Slate, Salon, The Daily Worker,  and other "middle of the road" publications. I'm sure they'll all be honest and fair.  :silly:
I'm not a Trump fan (in fact, I dislike him intensely), but I won't condemn him outright because he makes a few flubs starting out.
How about we call 'em as we see 'em. Sure, it isn't going to be easy to find articles by anyone which are in the middle. The usual Leftists are most of the media sources out there. Some of the folks on the Right are just as overboard, only the other way.

Know where the article is coming from and weight the thing accordingly. Otherwise, we'll spend more time griping about the source than dissecting the article.

Just maybe if all Conservative discussion boards were unafraid to dissect the hyperbolic rhetoric, regardless of source, they'd tone it down out there.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

And that's the end of the discussion.  Nicely put.

If you're praising the ban you are praising Obama's list which comes from Secretary of State Clinton.  It is a very small list for a reason.  Wouldn't want to offend his terrorist friends.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Nope.  I'm calling someone a Moslem because they're demonstrating taqiyya - the Moslem practice of openly lying in the service of Islam and its propaganda.

Crude and transparent, in this case.

Who?  I haven't seen any "Moslems" in here.  Or any person serving Islamic propaganda.

And I couldn't find anything more Islamic propaganda serving than Trumps Super Bowl interview with Bill O'reilly where Trump calls us killers referring to the Iraq war in defense of Vladimir Putin.

  • RIP Blue, 2012-2020---my big, gentle friend.
And how would you feel with an indescribably-corrupt, bought-and-paid-for, morally-bankrupt, old woman dying of Parkinsons...who even when young and healthy and in her prime, showed moral baseness, contempt for others and complete incompetence in her many previous prominent roles?

You pick from the choices you have.  Not the choices you wish you had.

When the choice was between Robespierre and Queen Athaliah, you feel grateful if you had the option (as did I in my state)
to vote "None of These Candidates." (Codicil: None of the candidates being burped up in the primaries did a thing for me,
either.) And mourn that a nation that once chose between George Washington and John Adams has "evolved" to the point
where we had that choice, between two people from whose lips and minds (alleged) never once passed even
a lip-service thought about freedom, about individual rights, and about properly-construed government whose sole legitimate
business (other than protecting us from enemies actual and/or provably iminent abroad and predators at home; real
predators, please, not mere vicemongers) is staying the hell out of your business, my business, everyone's business
until or unless one would obstruct or abrogate another's equivalent rights.
