I agree the micro aggression BS on college campuses at this time is just ridiculous. Now that no liberal would ever dare to make a racist remark the now non oppressed have to come up when something new. However your comment that freedom of speech is being shut down by progressives is just a bit silly. We all the right to freedom of speech but they have the same. Now me I'm a self proclaimed Democratic moderate as I am socially liberal, fiscally moderate and hard right on immigration. I would never vote for Bernie if I had a choice. I found myself in that situation during Carter's reelection, I couldn't vote for him but I had a choice and I made it. |

The one thing that may be in dispute is marriage being between a man and a woman. I am from Mass. almost the birthplace on gay marriage. The Mass. State legislature stopped the initial petition to cancel gay marriage, because they knew Mass. citizens would have vote the law out. Then, gay marriage took off in other states. So, Mass. took a pat on the back for a job well done. I could care less about gay rights. When you feel you have the victim of injustice, and now things are starting to go your way, you are going to push real hard not to return to the old ways. I will cut them some slack. I don't think that most people put conservatives/moderates in the far right category. These two categories certainly, and rightly so, don't consider themselves as RINOs. The Tea Party, or whatever they call themselves now are the far right. They are getting traction by making a lot of noise. Trump, and Cruz are feeding on this. I can't believe that if either of these two are elected how anything will change in Washington. |

I am laughing at you. You start very post the same way. Although it is totally beneath me, and a total waste of my time, I will show you what an idiot you really are. I don't give a damn what label you want to tag me with, because I will consider the source. "Conversation relating to politics" read the first 3/4 responses in this thread. What conversation would that be? There was no compromise in Obama's first two years, because it takes both parties to give a little, and the Republicans would not have any of that. He worked hard to get Republicans on board in the AFC, and the only one that would even listen was Olympia Snow from Maine. Obstruction was the name of the game in the first four years of his presidency. Being called a liberal doesn't bother me at all. The truth as you see it isn't the truth in the real world. I could be wrong, but I don't remember word one about my political beliefs as being liberal, conservative, or far right or left. Reagan was a conservative Republicans looked up to. Now, he would be considered a moderate due to his working with the Democrats to get things done. Republicans that want government to work by working with the other party are RINOs. They are realists. You are not going to get your way 100% of the time in a two party system. Concerning Fox News, they call all the other news organizations the liberal press. Maybe they are number one, because, in their words, they have no competition for the Republican viewers. The problem that I have with Fox News is if you are going to say that you are "fair and balanced", then act that way. Is that being naïve? "Fair and balanced" has no meaning. I have said it many times the only news program I watch is Morning Joe. You know Joe Scarborough, the RINO. You will get both sides of an issue there. At the gym, and dentist office, I have to watch Fox News, and I go away shaking my head all the time. Wanting a balanced budget isn't the sole goal of the far right or the Republican party. It is the goal of both parties. The problem is on how to get there. When you sign a pledge that you will not raise taxes, that trumps your belief of getting a balanced budget. The Democrats will not allow you to cut social programs, and social programs only to get to a balanced budget. Wanting a balanced budget, and being totally inflexible on how to get there is stupidity of the highest order. Who the hell wants dangerous drugs in the hands of children? Where did this come from? The Bible, Communism, and slavery when have they recently ever become an issue? Concerning immigration, deporting all illegal immigrants is a right wing belief with some conservative, and moderate followers. The bipartisan Senate bill gave a path to citizenship for the illegals as long as they followed the steps in the law. The Senate bill was not brought to the floor by Boehner, because of the Hastert rule. The far right was the one that blocked the bill going to the floor for a vote. Isn't helping the less fortunate a Christian belief? Then, why are social programs that help the less fortunate the first ones on the chocking block to go? I am not trying to convince people of anything. If they think that only their views are correct, then they won't listen to a word that I say. There is a world that exist outside of their bubble. Whether they want to believe it or not is totally up to them. In any case, I really don't give a damn. |

I believe that many on this forum are here to point counter point on the current issues of the day. Unfortunately we have a few who either like to play the childish game of "dirty dozen"or who clearly suffer a deficit. I don't like labels on people, in some respects, because they attempt in one word to define a complex human being. so I work hard at labeling each thought or idea streaming from a person separately As to the gay issue I never viewed it as a civil rights issue and I don't care what people do in their bedrooms . However I do care how this movement is damaging our society everywhere. I do care that they attempt to eliminate gender and I do care that they demanded the definition of marriage be re-defined. Opponents will label me bias, a homophobic etc but its not the person its the act. Gays thrived in corporations to wit look who runs Apple today. No their quest was to demand that their lifestyle be viewed as normal hence their need to re-define marriage. Hollywood et al continue to push this movement into mainstream America because to normalize it is to socialize it and isn't it great to have a gay friend. conversely I would speak out against anyone who would attempt to humiliated, bully etc Again the problem with labels are they are too confining. Not all Tea Party members totally believe in all the same things. People join or support an organization because they may find some of what they believe etc. I am a Catholic but I do not believe everything the Church teaches. Some call it being a cafeteria catholic but I call it reasoning. Finally I attempt to respect other people's opinions Personal Best Regards: |

Your original rant was answered in detail. Your reply was juvenile at best. Since you do not allow for anyone to answer you point by point without lapsing into a deranged rant, I will ask you the question that you were asked earlier: What have the Democrats accomplished of note, other than give away the farm? And if your really believe your rant about Democrats wishing a balanced budget, why did they never have a budget for the first part of two terms of this administration. We are not far right. Trump is not far right. Like you might have said earlier, he was a Democrat before he was a Republican. I don't believe you know what "far right" means. Convince me that you do and find me someone that you believe is "far right" in congress. I realize that you won't answer my questions, because all you do is try to convince yourself that you are not a flaming liberal, and that you are the only normal one on here. Perhaps you are too young to know what normal is. Normal appears to be a thing of the past, now that we have you "progressives" ha, ha. So, before you get angry at the world and this forum, remember that you don't have to participate. YOu can always put your little smart phone away and go join some radical protest down at Barnes and Noble or something. And yes "there is a world outside the bubble." Where do you think all of us adults originated? And there are others that feel the way we do. It's just that we are senior enough that PC does not matter and the loud "gimmies" of the lazy take away from the unfortunate that have worked hard and had some hardships. You liberals attempt to work guilt trips into any debate, when the fact is that you have grand ideas with no idea of how to pay for them. Taxing the rich is ALWAYS your answer to using the credit card. Either contribute to the debate or live with answers that you don't like. But, you were answered, got your attention, so either be satisfied or .....not. I was kind enough to allow you some attention so learn to live within your limitations. |

I have never, ever called a fellow poster a name on here but will make an exception in this case. Even though it is normally beneath me to lower myself to your juvenile, immature lowest of levels, in my opinion you are a total @$$h.le and idiot. If you want to take satisfaction in causing your betters to lower themselves to your dirt level basement, then today is your day..IMO you are an idiot. That poster is a decent AMERICAN that obviously is not self edifying and dependent on the government. Unlike you, he IS liberal enough to openly discuss issues respectfully and civilly. And I don't use "liberal" negatively in his case. I respect him and admire his ability to take abuse from childish, juvenile, snide and nasty remarks from your ilk. You got your attention, child. So, go play in the sandbox with the other retards. Ooops, sorry. By associating you with the handicapped, I disparaged them. My bad.
