What does "Make America Great Again" really mean.
 

I would really like to know what the supporters of Trump mean by this promo pitch. You see, I have asked several red hats around the Villages, but no one seems to be able to give a sensible explanation. You see I think America is GREAT now. During the last eight of the Obama administration, unemployment has improved from 7.2% (under Bush) to 5%. The cost of gas back then was $3.25 per gallon. The last I filled up I paid $2.03. The uninsured rate was over 15% of Americans… it is now 9%. GDP growth has grown from -0.3 to +3.7%. The DOW Jones went from 10,000 to today’s over $16,000. Teen pregnancy as a result of planned parenthood initiatives is down 40%. The agreement with Iran’s government has resulted in a reduction of 75% in the number of centrifuges as the deal is working contrary some conservative circles. And the idea that our military is weak is just hogwash according to the pentagon and independent military think tanks.
Most important is that we have not waged any senseless wars as the prior leaders did in invading Iraq.

So, what is it that we should go back to? Seems like we as a nation have seen marked improvements over our prior leaders. So, don’t buy on to all the false rhetoric but do some fact checking before you support a movement that you cannot support with facts.

What does it mean make America White again. Hello

And they killed Bin Laden even if some of the credit for that would go for what others had planned.

And my 224 613 Project has prospered under the Obama/Biden Administration even if I personally have not see much of any private gains. That's partly my fault for not following up on some of the offers I have received over the years or not communicating adequately.

It should not matter all that much for this Project whether or not Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump becomes President as this Project is about local communities addressing the practical information needs of survivors/victims of crimes.

A President could interfere with it quite a lot but the Obama/Biden Administration has left me alone to do what I needed to do via the Internet mostly Facebook.

I have been at this since January 1991 under a lot of different Presidents and this past few years seems to be my Project's most productive time.

Were those government generated figures. I think I would question those. Of course would the government tell you a lie. You dont need to answer that I think we all know that answer.

Anybody who has to ask the question is of course a democrat who is believes party first no matter who or what.

They also are not allowed to talk about the damage that has been done to the American military. Emasculated under Obama.

They also cannot speak to the disapperance of America's once help leader of the free WORLD.

The most certainly will not adress the sympathetic position Obama has created for the muslims and islamic terrorists.

They will never discuss the open boarders and the destruction it is having on America's infrastructre.

Or the facts that America is no longer respected by it's enemies.

Or that Obama has made a deal with the devils in Iran and supplemented their ability to become a nuclear terrorist state.

Just to name a few.

Making America great again means just what it says.

The real America first democrats know exactly what it means.

So cut the baiting and the BS!

You've been fooled, America has never been more screwed up.

Full time, "good jobs", traded for part time crappy jobs. They also took MILLIONS out of the workforce so they could bring the numbers down. It's fake numbers.

Fracking is causing a TEMPORARY glut in domestic oil production, it's transitory. It's also partly due to decreased demand. The US and world economies are all down.

Taxpayer are "insuring" all those poor who were previously uninsured. They have NOTHING to pay for insurance. You think that $1000 a year "penalty" pays their share? People on welfare have nothing to pay it with, they get it for free. It's all a big scam, wake up. YOU and I are paying their insurance premiums.

GDP hasn't moved the whole time O has been in office.

The FED gave the banks "free money" to buy buy buy...bonds and stocks. Both are VERY over valued. We owe $20 trillion, the interest payment alone is $600,000,000,000 a year! Why do you think your CD pays less than 1%? The government is keeping interest rates low so they can make the minimum payment.

You mean abortion is up 40%?

They're ALL senseless political wars. Wars make people a LOT of money...the taxpayers pay for it.

If it's so good, WHY are 50 million on food stamps? That's a bread line over 9,000 MILES long. Why are MILLIONS getting section 8 housing? The homeless problem is HUGE and there are already million on section 8 that would be homeless. Our world ranking has fallen from #1 to #17 in just about everything but crime and violence, with the increase in brown people...THAT...has gone up.

I see pretty much everything getting worse.

You PROFIT from others misfortune? Crime victims?

So what do you do? Tell people to beware of brown people? They ARE the violent ones after all. They DO commit most of the crimes. Or are the major city TV stations all racist when 95% of the "crime reports section" is filled with blacks/Hispanics?

Do you work to remove them from communities to "clean it up and make it safer"?

More "victims" than ever? The blacks and Hispanics are really keeping you busy with their increased violence?

SO, the orignial baiting question was what does "Make America Great Again."

Even though meant to bait an argument, it is a good question. Having a good economy would be a good start. WE have a terrible economy right now, never achieving a 3% GDP in one year in the last 8 years. A record of poor GDP growth.
Getting people off of food stamps would be a pretty good step. We have 45 million on food stamps. Another poor record
Home ownership is supposed to be lowest is has been since WWII
We have almost 95 million people out of the work force according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics
I could go on, without blaming anyone, but just giving statistics, you should be able to get the idea. A better military presence, etc.

But, anther good question, I believe is:
What does it mean to stand in front of the slogan: Stronger Together and tell millions of people that they are deplorable and irredeemable?

How stupid.

Wow, that would be kind of like killing Charlie Manson today. Kind of redundant at this point. Bin Laden was a broken down retired, behind the lines terrorist. Other than revenge, not much to it.

You're right. Why did they even bother?

These problems did not start during the Obama administration as the system has run amuck for a long time. My point is that there has been a lot of improvement. HOW is the military weaker? So facts please. And WELFARE, what about corporate welfare? If you believe that food stamps out weigh the billions that our tax dollars that corporations are getting you are very misinformed. We have no influence over our elected congressional and senatorial choices... thanks to "Citizens United" they are beholding to Big money. It seems no one wants to admit what a devastating mistake we made in invading Iraq. Our actions created the terror crisis and the situation in the Middle East. Our reputation when Obama took office was at the lowest point in our history.
The deficit.... who in your memory has done anything to fix the problem? Who has the final say in our spending? That's easy, congress. And what party controls congress?
I am sick and tired of the false rhetoric from the right. The moderates of the GOP have abdicated to the fanatical ravings of lunatic.. Worse the moderates who lobbied against this demagogue have jumped on the bandwagon. My point is ''Make America Great Again" is another flag waving tactic by a master demagogue and his supporters. The bigger questions how anyone can support this man knowing all the mean, racist actions he has portrayed.

Any southerner knows what is means.
Which means when Bill Clinton said it, it was a very racist thing to say.

Bill things Obama should be carrying his bags.

Exactly! But remember, Harry said Obama can speak very good white when he wishes.

I was going to attempt to correct your rediculous spew, and then realized that it would be a wasted effort. It is undoubtedly the most ignorant and uninformed comment I have read today. You really should do some research before making declarations about statements being wrong. If you wish to make your post credible, prove it. Yes, our military is worst equipped than it has been in decades. Look it up. You have no/NO evidence of Trump being racist. His actions dictate otherwise.
Never mind, I am not going to waste my time on the ignorant.

Nice post. Maybe we can get someone else other than the usual suspects to read this Political Forum.

It is a nice post, Trump is no Republican and not responsible for any of it. He was a Democrat, then an independent, then a Republican in order to get elected president to clean out the crap, all of it.

Everytime Hillary calls someone a racist, she is calling for that person's assassination.

:agree:

Be honest with yourself
 

iN YOUR EYES OBAMA AND THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS CAN DO NO WRONG.

FACT-OBAMA HAS ADDED TEN TRILLION DOLLARS TO THE NATIONAL DEBT. Do you comprehend what that is?
Check it out and you will be shocked to LEARN contrary to what OBAMA is feeding you CHINA is NOT our largest creditor. We owe slightly more to Japan then to China. MORE IMPORTANT, together Japan and China hold less than 20% of the National Debt-SOCIAL SECURITY HOLDS 42% OF THE NATIONAL DEBT. You/WE had no choice but to pay into our government PONZI SCHEME. OBAMA AND HIS ADMINISTRATION SPENT THE MONEY WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO ALLOW HIM TO HOLD.

As to the price of gas-TRUTH BE TOLD YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Are you aware that over 1/3 if what you pay for gas is TAX? READ ABOUT OIL-it is truly shocking-how many gallons are in a barrel of oil-bet you do not know. oil is drilled on a lease basis-most of the land where oil is drilled is government owned-so we own the oil. what percentage of the oil we use comes for the middle east? As to useless wars-If, you were to READ you would find what is REALLY GOING ON. Just like HITLER,
MUSSOLINI AND HIROHITO in WWII the muslims want to take over the world. WERE YOU TO READ THE KORAN-THAT IS WHAT IS SAYS. What OBAMA SAYS IS ONLY FOR LIBERAL CONSUMPTION-HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRUTH. Why has OBAMA-YOUR HERO-repeatedly vetoed the keystone pipeline. THAT ANSWER I WILL GIVE YOU-you remember of course the BULL SPEECH from Buffet about his tax rate. YOU PROBABLY ARE NOT AWARE-NOR DO YOU WANT TO KNOW-Buffet having aready given as much as he LEGALLY COULD to buy OBAMA paid for a CHICAGO FUNDRAISER for Obama. LET ME PUT IT ALL TOGETHER FOR YOU-Buffet owns the railroad carrying the crude oil-the keysone pipeline would have cost him a large fortune.

YOU HAVE BEEN HAD. Your reported saving of a dollar a gallon on gasoline. JUST ON THE NATIONAL DEBT EVERYONE IN YOUR FAMILY INCLUDING YOUR PET DOG OWES OVER 100,000 ON YOUR SHARE OF THE NATIONAL DEBT.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is a sales pitch. Same as OPENED GOVERNMENT, OBAMACARE WILL COST NOTHING,
TAX THE RICH AND THE REST OF THAT BULL

RE: TAX THE RICH
AGAIN READ-if you simply TAKE everything the top 1% have. I'M NOT SAYING INCREASE THEIR TAX RATE OR....
I'M SAYING TAKE IT-it will not pay the TEN TRILLION DOLLARS OBAMA added to the national debt. As to the build a wall nonsense. MEXICO will gladly accept our rich and will send back as many poor as OBAMA wishes.

THE OBAMA RESULTS-
THE RICH HAVE GOTTEN RICHER. THE POOR HAVE GOTTEN POORER, WE ARE STILL FIGHTING AND DYING IN THE MIDDLE EAST-THE ADDRESSES HAVE CHANGED IN SOME CASES. OUR NATIONAL DEBT HAS DOUBLED. THE TOO BIG TO FAIL BANKS HAVE GOTTEN LARGER NOT SMALLER.
AS TO REDUCTION OF CENTRIFUGES IN IRAN. YET ANOTHER BULL STORY. IN WWII WE BUILT THE ATOMIC BOMB IN TWO YEARS. AT THE TIME IT WAS A THEORY TODAY YOU CAN FIND POSTED ON THE INTERNET HOW WE DID IT. THE ISSUE IS TO GET PURE ENOUGH U235 UNSTABLE FORM OF URANIUM TO GET THE CHAIN REACTION WE CALL AN ATOMIC BOMB. WE DID IT IN WWiII WITH 300 HUNDRED OR SO 3 FOOT CENTRIFUGES
IRAN HAS FAR LARGER AND FAR MORE CENTRIFUGES AND THEY HAVE, ACCORDING TO THE BULL WE ARE BEING FED, been working on the Atomic bomb far longer than the two years it too us to do it. The facts are-IRAN HAS THE ATOMIC BOMB. They have the fuel, they have the detonators. THEY ONLY NEED TO BOLT THEM TOGETHER.

SOLUTION-I DON'T HAVE ONE.
BUT, WHILE FIGURES DON'T LIE-IF YOU CHOKE THEM HARD ENOUGH-AS YOU ARE WILLING TO DO-YOU CAN MAKE THEM SAY ANYTHING YOU WANT.

What does "Make America Great Again" really mean.

long posts

What is the logic in blaming Trump for Bush. None.

Just desperation.

No more coffee this morning for you.

What does "Make America Great Again" mean?

America was great during the Reagan years when even the Democrats were happy. I know, it sounds impossible.
America was great during the Bush years when his polls were in the 90's, over 30% higher than Obie has ever achieved.

I'd say that America is great when our country is not so divided, as it has become in the past 8 years.

No matter how well we attempt to get along with the left or how much we compromise, liberals will never be happy. Even when they get their own way (ie. ObamaCare) they are not satisfied or happy. If they were to win this election, which seems impossible right now, they would not be happy. No matter what happens, they always blame their faults on Republicans. They blame Republicans for Obamacare failing. They blame Republicans for just about anything that makes them feel less responsible for their actions. And they make excuses for a failed administration. We have had a stagnant economy with no growth for 8 years, but they think everything is great. The GDP has NEVER reached a 3% year during this administration, the first administration ever to have such a miserable accounting. There are still 45 million on food stamps. The poverty rate is high. Home ownership is the lowest its been since WWII. There is an astronomical amount of work aged citizens that left the job force. These are not indications of America being great again.

We live in a country divided. Not because of the right. It's because the left plays on the differences in people such as race, gender, gender confused, wealth, the hated big business, etc. They condone deviant behavior, radical extremism and make excuses for it, and believe in free lunches for everyone. They want a fictitious Utopia that does not and never will exist. Anyone that does not agree with them is the enemy, except the real enemy overseas that they want to turn a blind eye to. They want to be protected as long as it does not infringe on their perceived rights. The left is NOT patriotic and considers such loyalty to be racist or bigoted, or even below their education level. They say they are not divisive and yet consider anyone on the right to be uneducated. They say we are uneducated and yet, they have the support of the 47% of non-tax paying voters. Apparently, the voters that are either too unmotivated to work or under educated.

The right has compromised their morals and ethics to accommodate the left and we finally have someone that is outspoken about it. Yes, the Republican establishment does not approve of him. Why? Because they are afraid they will lose their voters and thus lose their jobs. He is spotlighting their weakness and they resent it. He's not perfect, but he is a bullhorn for a large amount of folks that are just fed up with bending for the ungrateful.

Thanks to perceived slights and misplaced anger, the left is once again the movement of the 60's. They have gone full circle and have become radical to the point just shy of terroristic. Their protests have been violent and calling for violence. And then they blame Trump for their criminal actions. Sorry but we are not listening to your blame game. It is your fault only and you need to grow up and take responsibility. No one causes your violence but you. You have the option to walk away, to resist acting on your anger. I do not consider poverty as a basis or excuse for violence. I do not consider wealth as an excuse for vandalism or violence. I do not consider the actions of a few police officers as a basis for violence against the many that are good pubic servants. The left is full of misplaced anger. And they are in denial. They blame the right for their own actions.

Hillary has broken many laws (felonies) and will not be persecuted until after the elections. But, to overlook her actions and vote for her, makes one wonder what the motivation is regarding votes for her. Liberals deny her culpability in any crimes even with the preponderance of evidence readily available for their perusal. If one was to observe the size of the turnout for her functions, they would see how little support she really has. I believe that this will correlate to votes in Nov. Yes, she does have a lot of funding, but if you examine where her money comes from, the big money is from the corrupt or from overseas. People that have a lot to gain by her winning.

The only thing that will make America Great again, appears to be another major war. And even then, it will be the patriotic right that will sacrifice while the left sits back and criticizes when they think they can get away with it. It's not HATE you see or hear from us. It's ANGER.

We all know the definition of hate when used in politics.....disagreement with the democratic position.....NO MATTTER WHAT!!!

If Bush was popular, people like Bush, with his values would be running for president. The Republican wanted something different and you got it. You had too many candidates that were alike so something different won.

:shrug: tf

what does MAke America Great Again mean?

Pretty simple....DO NOT LET THE DEMOCRATS IN FOR A 3RD OBAMA TERM.

One would have to believe that his campaign slogan means make America all white with no Hispanics and no Muslims and of course no immigrants of any kind except the millions who are already here and make America great just as it is!

Your comment is total BS!

:1rotfl:


What a total load of horse manure. :oops:

By almost every economic indicator, America was greater under the first Clinton POTUS, but in spite of The Simpleton trying to destroy this country...it is STLL great thanks to Obama. :thumbup:

Your long-winded attempt at blaming your inability to discriminate and exercise your bias'/prejudice/bigotry/racism/xenophobia/homophobia/misogyny...IS because of those damned Democrats.

Sorry Charlie, ya better learn to just live with choking on that hate and anger...because the decent people of this great nation are not going to allow you to exercise & spew it. :ho:

As for Bush's approval rating right after 9-11, when patriotism was at its greatest since the end of WW11...what was Bush's approval rating when he slunk out of office again?

Oh yeah, it was....22%. :1rotfl:


Not even a nice try. :ohdear:



:wave:

CNM

Obviously you are not one of the decent people you refer to, and your pompous hate filled ramblings prove it!

:1rotfl:

I hope you realize, that even with your false/insincere self-deprecation upstairs, you're not successful at hiding your true, dark-hearted, nasty nature to most people...don't you? ;)



:wave:

CNM

It is a waste of time giving objective facts regarding the improvements over the past 8 years. Some folks have their heels dug into their party loyalty as well as withholding credit to Obama for the simple fact he is black. Keep America great.

Keep spewing your racist garbage!
The simple fact is, that Obama has not been a great leader and unifier of all Americans!

It does not have a :censored: thing to do with him being black.

If he was white or red doing the same destructive actions to weaken and split America; did the same racist game playing; played the race card every chance he gets; would be sahamed of what America has done and ashamed of a great America......the reaction would be the same.

The BS of him either being picked on because he is black or people are afraid to call him on his incompetence is just that...


BS racism in all it's glory!

We are not the ramblers, we are not the dark hearted, we did not vote to have funding for HIV be diverted to CONVERSION THERAPY that would be the narrow mindedness of the sick little white haired homophobe that the Villages welcomed here yesterday MIKE PPENCE.

Their idea of make America great is, Pence signing into law in 2013, any Gay couple applying for a marriage license will be arrested, the went on to further state that any clerk granting a license will be arrested. This is a candidate that claims to be for all the American people. Are Gay people not Americans. He took their rights away in Indiana!

So Make America Great Again to Them means
1.White
2.Get back in the closet
3.Rich get Richer
4.Yunder the cloak of religion you can deny service to a Gay, another Indiana Law he enacted!

:clap2:...:clap2:



:wave:

CNM

The problem is nobody is looking behind him, at Pence that is. I think Pence was his one gummy to the GOP. Indiana is happy to see him go. I hope the VP debates bring all this out.
