My go word? And yes, racists usually do think it's the other guys who's racist but I didn't vote for a guy who make his political name on a bogus chase of Obama's birth certificate nor by labeling all Mexicans killers or all Muslims terrorists and then there unnatural attraction that Trump seems to have for the KKK and the Neo-Nazi's. So yeah, liberals can be racist but as throughout history it's you conservatives who are always trying to conserve our historical past who just naturally migrate to racism to do it. Like Roy Moore said--America was greatest when them darkies were in shackles and working your fields. Yeah, conservatives and racism go together like peas and carrots or make that Black eyed peas and Carrots...

Well, if you think this conversation is on a 7th grade level, just how high are you wanting to go? I was trying to keep it simple for you. But, instead of replying with anything with substance, you, again, reply with insults. Like I said before, if you can’t win with facts, and, instead, resort to insults, you’ve already lost the debate.

You may as well call it a night, RETW. You don’t have a clue as to what you’re trying to say or even what you’re talking about. In fact, you lack a whole lot, knowing even a little bit, about anything. Your responsive posts prove it to one and all.

Tell me, what is you religious affiliation? Do you even have one? From a previous post of yours, you don’t agree with a Biblical approach to ownership of money. Given your posted attitudes about ”ownership,” I’ll bet you never were any good at sharing your toys; were you?

Sorry Buck, the economic delay is 6 to 9 months, not 2-3 years. And that relates to federal stimuli suck as tax cuts and money infusions such as Quantitative Easing. Stimuli that Trump has given us can have positive effects much faster. Even before Trump took office, he worked to stop movement of major businesses from America to offshore locations, and he convinced others to return to America. In fact, Trump's election win convinced many businesses to ramp up operations on the promise of a return to Laissez faire - substantial reductions in federal regulations. This is particularly significant in the energy industry. Coal production jumped almost immediately. This rapid reaction in the business community was reflected in the huge run-up in stock prices after the election as the market anticipated great economic times to come.

Buck, the great things that are happening in business, jobs, and the stock market are due to Trump. I'm sorry if that upsets you, but it is true.

Words are interesting, one would think that they are stable and fixed but they are not, they are fluid with time, they can change in connotation or even definition, especially by generation, which is why there can be misunderstandings and different interpretations, take the word "gay" for example, and Okie-dokie. I've never consider it an offense only a fun way to say yes, but apparently it can be an offense to some. Presently I've been reading there is a new definition to the word fascist, this seems to muddy the waters and has been leading to confusion in accusations. Something to consider, we could all hang up these bias slurs and be more respectful of each other, everywhere, or is that just too idealistic?

No offense taken and I hope I've made myself a little bit more clear.

Ok, so let me lead you by the hand down the road to some knowledge. Please follow along closely, because I find it very tedious explaining fundamentals to adults.

You and these so called employees you talk about, have had the same opportunity in life as I.

Probably more so because my family was very poor. And I grew up at the later part of the great depression. And I had to quite grade school to help earn money for the family. ( Eat or starve as it were.) But I got my GED a few years later. Spent a stent in the Army. Was sent to Korea. There I learned two very important life's lessons. # 1 and most important, there is a God, and #2 Never take life for granted, for it can be taken away from you in the blink of an eye.

Now you talk a lot about what these employees have or don't have. And just out of the blue, you assume It is because of me they are earning a small wage. You know nothing about me, or what kind of an employer I was. And I am not going to debate that with you. For that is none of your business.

But I will tell you this. After returning state side, and home. I worked near 6 days a week. And some times, two jobs at a time for many years. That work ethic was instilled in me by my father. Who happened to be a logger, back in what they call the Alliegash river country in the state of Maine. So don't go down the road, of me not knowing what work is all about. And I was determined to never let my family know what hunger was all about. Or cold sleepless nights just trying to stay worm until dawn.

Now these poor employees you speak of had the same opportunity I had. And in most cases they had it much better. For most of them never new what war was about. And not one had any idea what life was like in the depression. All had a diploma or degree of one form or another. Yet you blame me for there spending habits, or there lot in life. Ever here of saving money for what you want?

Now I don't know what your status in life is now, or has been in the past. But know this, free is not free.
No one owes you or any one a living. And your wealth in life is determined by the amount of knowledge and work you put into it. And no one ever got financially sound by complaining about the other guy.

You want more, get up off your ass, learn something and work for it.
There is no shortcut for success.

There was no insult intended. You post are full of " I think, or I guess, or perhaps, or it could be's,
or just straight out lies. My intention was not to insult 7th graders. You talk as if the subject you are discussing, was direct first hand knowledge, because you were there. And that is a lie any way you want to fashion it.

Enough with the BS.

Now that is proof that this guy is certifiably off his rocker. Comparing Conservatism to Somalia. Come on. Nobody is that unintelligent.

Again you miss the mark. For it was Nickolai .... one of your very own.... who stated, he "pays 50-60 % The rest I pay to live in a civilized society. Perhaps you should go to bedie-by. You might wake up refreshed, and better able to take on the world, and slay your dragons.

I am a Constitutional conservative and an atheist. I probably have more friends than you because I don't discuss religion with anybody but my atheist cousins and brother. All other people know is that I'm not very religious and don't attend church. Amazing how well placed words work. I am honest and don't have to listen to or read a lecture on Jesus Christ and God. And Heaven - what a crock!

Yes Arch, I do see. And I have for quite some time.

By the by. I hope you and yours will have a good night. I'm getting ready to pack it in for tonight.

At my age, I have learned the benefit of a glass of warm milk before bed. A dash of Cinnamon
and I'm good to go.

Pete what happened to you? What happened to all of you?

I firmly believe that Neither the Trump supporters who post here, nor the anti-Trump supporters actually know why they fight each other. After hundreds of pages of posts, I have come to the realization that you people are out and out right crazy!

What do you really know of Donald J. Trump? I mean really. There have been so many stories about the man, that I can't believe any of them. There was so many false witnesses that stood against Trump and none of them ever brought it into a court of law.

How long are you guys going to waste knowledge and intellect on such a crazy notion. Every complaint is a "He said, She said" complaint. If you guys want to continue to discuss fantasy, keep it up. The Washington post is as real as a production of George Lucas or Steven Spielberg. "Days of Our Lives", "One Life to Live", "Dallas", "Dynasty", and other soap operas have been replaced by "Ooooo look at what Donald Trump said, or tweeted"

Quit it! Those of us who voted for Donald Trump knew Damn well, that he was not a politican or a pretty boy. We knew damn well, that if we sent a person, who is the opposite in all ways to Obama and the sexist Bill Clinton, that you people's heads would explode. But in the meantime, while you people are soooooooooo distracted at the distraction you created all by yourself, by hating a person without knowing them first, great strides would be made.

Reality Check. The United States economy is growing at record strides. Americans are going back to work. Life is getting better. But noooooooooo how can this be. Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama gave us more red tape, that was causing Americans to fail. Trump released us from that burden. But all you liberals can say, is he is racist, sexist, etc. Do you not understand that Trump is breaking the monopoly of the establishment? Or are you all just blind?
