I did not vote for Trump, but I fully understand how he can get mad at those that want to coddle protesters. They have their right to protest in the street, but not inside where people gather to listen to a candidate. You have NO first Amendment right to free speech on private property, period. If you want to take religion out of public properties, such as gov buildings and schools, then be prepared to get shut down when you try to impose your right to free speech on private property.

Call me a Nazi to my face and you will see what your free speech gets you. I am done with being called a Nazi because I am conservative. Democrats throw out the race card and bigot card if we don't agree with them. Well, it is they that don't agree with me and I consider them the party of slavery and more in tune with the Nazis than conservatives will ever be.

The thing about free speech is that you are bound to offend someone. In the progressive wold thee is this unrealistic need to try and prevent risk and pain which is ignores the limits of nature. Its why political correctness was invented by socialist to try and control people. Its how helicopter parents came about and why college kids suffer from trigger warnings, micro agressions and beg for safe spaces.

Don't forget that Bernie loved communism so much that he did his honeymoon in the Soviet Union. But, on the other hand forget it. You are too lazy to learn anything anyway. I really hope you get what you wish for. It would be ironic and you would be crying like a little baby.

Dear Guest: The head of the DNC still has not be able to explain the difference between a Democrat and a socialist. This march toward socialism began with FDR moved to Johnson and was abetted by Carter and Clinton but the big move belongs to Daddy Obama

Now don't get me wrong. I don't blame you for your foolish thoughts and comments. I blame the school system. Well, if they had schools when you were young.

Have a good day.

Dear Guest: An American patriot would not take a trip to Cuba nor do business with them or acknowledge them as a part of the world community until they first released all their political prisoners and relinquished their violations of further human rights

Ah, but liberals will spout these freedoms at home all the while embracing or turning a blind eye to them elsewhere.

Can you post without using snide remarks, or is that to much to ask?

Equating a meeting between heads of state with a private citizen visiting Cuba????? You cannot be serious.

And how many of your friends, neighbors, golf buddies have visited China as a private citizen? Given China's proclivity to totally ignore human rights and willingness to imprison anyone who speaks against China, its leaders and Communism, do you proclaim those visitors to be non-patriotic as well? Visiting a nation for whatever reason does not make someone love their country less, it frequently means a simple desire to see something new and different.

All of the name calling here is ridiculous at best, embarrassing to say the least, hurtful at worst. It is inexcusable by either side. You boys really should try sticking to the issues. This forum would be so much more enjoyable.

Oh, and, yes, I'm a liberal but most definitely not a "libtard" (what a truly awful thing to call another person).

You just did.

You are correct. No one on the horizon is worth my vote. It's scary. The country is polarized, a divided house...so much so that someone like Trump rises to shake us up, get our ATTENTION that things need to change and fast....

Dean Martin a liberal started it. Remember when Dean use to sing his girlfriend Volare who was a conservative he loved:

Volare, oh oh
Contardi, oh oh oh oh
Let's fly way up to the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like bird of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find

There is not one candidate in either party that is qualified to hold this office.

On the Democrat side the choice is either a communist or a crook. Worse yet this crook is allowed to continue her campaign gaining support when on the face of the allegation against her is at minimum incompetence and garners great mistrust. As new releases continue its obvious this candidate used a personal server to hide her work product and more importantly her dealing via Clinton Foundation (her personal SuperPac) and dealings with foreign governments while serving as Secretary of State. If she is allowed to continue it is sending a signal to the world that the US government is as corrupt as any third world power.

As to the RNC beside the fact that no candidate is qualified the RNC and GOP power brokers are telling voters that their opinions don't matter.
The RNC and GOP power brokers demanded, at the first presidential debate, that all GOP candidates pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee and also pledge not to go third party. So Trump begins to crush the competition and what do these power brokers from GOP do, work toward defeating Trump and threatening to have their candidate go third party.
I am not a Trump supporter but up until now I believed in the process. No longer its rigged

The real threat to this nation is not ISIS it is corrupt politician, its liberal educational institutions that are teaching our kids that capitalism is evil, that white men are evil and that socialism rules and that we should not pledge allegiance to the American flag but to an international flag. Its an Administration that has destroyed our military with his social lab experiments and now we find an indoctrination program wherein white privilege and heterosexual privilege are the enemy.

Do you see where is is going? I do and I am thoroughly disgusted.

Well said. tq
