BOTH parties are completely corrupt. Why should I support either? Because I may agree with more "positions", FAKE positions one espouses over the other? They're BOTH full of frauds, psychopaths seeking power and money. How could anyone with ANY rational though believe in a "divinity"...a "God" who was ALWAYS there and created everything...oh, and to top it off...he's involved with our lives. He's CONCERNED with what some "bugs" on a tiny speck of rock in an infinite universe are doing day to day...and he's judging them each as they die and putting them where they "belong". Do I have the main gist of religion, Abrahamic religion...pretty close? They are...if you took a random group of women and another group of men and you dropped them off in the jungle. Which group do you think would still be alive a year later? Do you think there would be ANY women? Why is there women's and men's leagues/divisions in EVERYTHING? Men ALWAYS beat women. There is NO record I'm aware of held by a woman that NO man could beat. We're DIFFERENT...that's how "I" like to refer to it. We've each specialized. That same purpose you have...make more of me and make the world a better place than when I got here. I did the first part...now I'm working on the second...making YOU aware that America is RAPIDLY falling...and it WON'T be able to get back up. We ARE being bred out. Hispanics ARE rapidly becoming the majority. They ALREADY ARE below age 7. I'm trying to get everyone to realize that we ARE losing our culture and our race. We were 90% in the 1950s where we were #1 as a country. We're now down to 49% of the population and #25 in the world. Within 30 years we'll be 25% of the population and "Mexico II" will be ranked around #75. Whit people are dying of old age MUST faster than we're reproducing. We're committing self genocide. That's not true. I've put things. The trouble is...EVERYTHING from the past regarding religion...and MOST of the "his-tory" comes from the church and religious sources. It's ALL on sided. Most of my argument about religion is the whole thing is absurd right from the start. An "all powerful, all knowing, "God", created EVERYTHING? Where did this "God" come from? God had to get there somehow. Religion just goes downhill from there... The Torah, OT Bible stories are all based on older stories. The difference between "God" in the OT and NT is night and day...they're not the same person. If you have any idea of the enormity of the universe...you'll quickly realize that "Earth" and us earthlings are NOTHING. There's no God who cares about us, no aliens coming to eat us or enslave us. We're just bugs, here for a time to make more bugs, and enjoy living until we die. |

Let's talk about NOW...or the last thirty years, NOW. One thing I have observed that the suburbs in that time period were largely populated by kids who grew up in Catholic Schools where rules and sins were explained a LOT. The repercussions for their actions was drilled into them and they learned that they were being WATCHED. It appears that all those rules and all that knuckle smacking put the fear of God in folks enough for them to follow those rules and scare them enough to live maybe psychologically flawed, but at least focused enough to find homes in safe areas for their fledglings, and work hard enough and sacrifice enough to live in those safe areas. You can argue about religion until the cows come home but that brings us to the question as to who made the cows? Who slopped around into the first ectoplasm became life? You can also say that humans like fellowship and like to gather when they are happy to celebrate...They want to THANK someone for the good and ask someone not to steal their young away through accident and illness. I don't know. I am a struggling person who believes strongly in God about half the time. I think religion helps a great deal more than it hurts. At the end. We all may be greatly surprised. |

People want hope...religion gives them that...and a sense of community...we are "herd" animals. |

Larry, I really think that if you were in a setting with folks that know you, you wouldn't act so nasty, so degrading, and that you would couch your disapproval in more respectful language. AND I didn't know that was a water color. Good on you! Did you paint the cat too? |

"WASHINGTON — President Trump’s promise to enact a sweeping overhaul of the tax code is in serious jeopardy nearly 100 days into his tenure, and his refusal to release his own tax returns is emerging as a central hurdle to another faltering campaign promise. As procrastinators rushed to file their tax returns by Tuesday, the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, emphasized again on Monday that Mr. Trump had no intention of making his public. Democrats have seized on that decision, uniting around a pledge not to cooperate on any rewriting of the tax code unless they know specifically how that revision would benefit the billionaire president and his family. And a growing roster of more than a dozen Republican lawmakers now say Mr. Trump should release them. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/17/u...rump.html?_r=0 |

If only you could be astute when it comes to discussion or sharing in political, but hopefully when you get out of your teens and expand your reading scope, you can talk with the adults. Why do you and your buddies hang out here ONLY to swap one line smart ass cracks ? Is that the cool thing to do in your neighborhood ? Your total comprehension is to go after anyone who does not agree with you. That might get you in the gang you have, but it really comes across terribly immature, but hey....what can you do...you work with what you have. |

You, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT REALIZE IT are parroting what the democratic party has FED YOU. The TRUTH is that Republicans based on education level-the easiest thing to measure-on average are the same as the democrats. THE VOTERS OF THE US HAVE SAID IT CLEARLY THAT THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF OBAMA AND IN SPITE OF OBAMA SPENDING PUBLIC FUNDS IN SUPPORT OF HILLARY YOU CANNOT MAKE A SILK PURSE OUT OF A PAIR OF DIRTY LYING THIEVES. AS IT IS SAID-SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP |

Sorry, not taking sides here, just correcting "the facts." The "VOTERS OF THE US" actually did not say any such thing, the ELECTORAL COLLEGE said it. "The voters of the US" actually said just the opposite. ;) ;) :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

First, please search the users and look at posts from Bucco. That is me, and you will find Graciegirl enjoys calling me that on here, but certainly not out of respect. I changed my user name TWICE. STICK WITH ME, and I will respond to your every word. I changed it from Bucco to Rags123 at the suggestion of administration, because I began to get unsettling PMs fron liberals about my active anti liberal posts, my stringent stand on Obama, and very much my negative posts on Obamacare. I was an original member of the political forum, I believe in 2007, and actually spoke with the previous owner to set it up. If you search Bucco posts, you will be assured I am no liberal at all. I was a strong long time Republican, active in my party for years up north. Be patient, Gracie posted today I am wordy...I am but sort of sick of the false phoney things said. I will get back to that story in a bit, but to your questions. I was absolutely stunned at Trump getting the nomination. Quickly, although most readers on here know I can bring you very specific details, I think Trump is not the most dispicable President we have ever had in terms of character and morals, he ranks near the top of all human beings. As a result I changed my registration from Republican to Independent because the party USED TO STAND FOR VALUES AND MORALS. I read and talk politics basically 24/7. It was my job and always my passion for over 50 years. I am an insatiable reader, and noticed on this forum, it was taken over by the alt right, although they say that is not the case, I can certainly point out the EXTREME HARD RIGHT opinions and the unwavering love and loyalty for Trump. Nothing wrong with having an idol, but I assure you, he has perpetrated a scam to get elected. This event will secure him more riches which is all he is concerned with along with his amazing ego. He is an extremely dishonest man and I hacpvevsaud this many times. I understand his followers frustration, but just in the last month you see him turning his backs on them. This will continue...I feel sorry for those that hold Trump in such high esteem, because is a pathological liar and deserves no respect whatsoever. Ok...I did not vote for Clinton, and if you actually look up my past posts, I was never a fan of hers in anyway. I voted for McCollum. My views are totally conservative, and I try to make that clear when I can, but Trump is a deal breaker for me. This man is scum as a human being, and I think, to the embarrassment of our nation we will see that come to view. So, the Democratic Party has fed me squat. You can tell me to "suck it up buttercup" which is pretty much indicative of those who adore Trump. He is king, never wrong and when you make a case against him, you get the old....oh yeah...Obama,,,Clinton crap. I used to be a calm poster, never aggressive, wanting to learn. No more...the Trump followers actually believe the fake Russian websites...a number were used today to slam the left..just fake crap. A few days ago, I angered a poster because I told her Trump NEVER owned a dog. She was adamant how worried Trump was about this dog and either she or another fan supplied a link TO A FAKE SATIRE site. This is what has been posting here. I have tried to discuss topics...to no avail. We have a beloved poster who almost daily does one thing only....find an angle to condemn very single progressive on the planet with zero facts...he has plagiarized a number of times, and has used phoneyvRusdian sites as sources, but is loved because he loves Trump. I find great harm being done to our White House, the presidency, our reputation. (I am not interested in saber rattling, "mine is bigger than yours" with no policy). We are losing credibility and as long as this president continues to lie, get less transparent, be mean spirited and leading poor trusting voters down. Probably lots of typing errors and such, and I sure have more to say, but... Buttercup, you are dead wrong in every accusation you make, but I am so used to that on here as Trump supporters feel now entitled. Gracie, on a few occasions refers to her hero and what he is going to do for "us", not America, but "us" referring to his voting block on here. Trust me...this man is a pig, but because I feel that way about the man, I now address each issue on its own merits and owe allegupiance to nobody. The fact that I dislike Trump does not mean I am precluded from supporting some things he might do, but watching him change so much is terribly difficult to discern...imagine how our allies feel. If you are, as I suppose a lover of Trump, all I can say...you will be disappointed. PS....my feeling is a political forum, something I have been engaging in for years, should be an exchange of ideas on issues and topics, exchange of related material that relates. You should learn and share.. The advent of fake news, and the embracing of that by the President makes it tough (along with using Fox News as a national security advisor) |
