There you go again. Making up false statements about my politics. Wrong as always, one false accusation after another. But, I have learned to expect that from folks who believe the right wing lies. I do not support the Democratic party. I do not support the Republican party. I am strictly a moderate. Moderate government and unions built this nation into the greatest nation with the finest military in the world. History proves that to be the case. I prefer sending illegals back to their country. I have worked as an engineer for every branch of our military. Yes. Even the USMC at Camp Lejune. Been to Baghdad and even the ruins of Babylon. Even for the military section of the DOE. But I cannot and will not vote for the criminal scumbag and threat to democracy that is Trump. Biden is no great choice. But he is not a threat to democracy.

Nick, Moderate = Democrat. Fixed it for you. Conservative = Republican. Bidumb has done irreparable damage to our country by inviting 10 to 12 MILLION criminal illegal aliens into our country. It's a good guess that 10% of them are Chinese military and terrorists. 30 or 40% of the rest are criminals in their home country. Every last one of them is a criminal in our country because they entered the country illegally. Fuel prices are high because of FJB which caused food and all commodities prices to skyrocket. Virtually no one is better off today than they were under President Trump. You only dislike him because some DNC idiot told you to. "Mean" tweets never hurt anyone.

And I agree that freedom is essential. And I suspect that our major departure in viewpoints involves economics. But, freedoms should not be used to hurt others or their freedoms. And it is a fact that uncontrolled capitalism has frequently led to revolt and initiating a communistic form of government. Examples include Russia, Cuba, China, Viet Nam. Cambodia, and others going back into feudal days. Therefore, for capitalism to flourish in an environment of freedom and equality for all citizens, controls are necessary to maintain an acceptable level of equality and an acceptable standard of living. The consequences of failure to do that have proven to be horrible in many cases. Over the last 55 years, it is my opinion that insufficient controls on American capitalism have been in place to maintain a stable economic situation. The standard of living for workers has been gradually falling since about 1968. In that period, the already wealthy have increased their share of all the wealth in America to approximately 50 percent from the 35 percent in the 1960s. The working class, of course, lost that same percentage, resulting in a significant reduction in their standard of living. Fact is that today, nearly 40 percent of American workers are paid a wage defined as below federally cited poverty. I suspect what is going on in America today is the civil unrest due to the continuing loss in quality of life in the working class. I have cited, in articles in this forum, the reasons this is happening and the laws congress has passed at the behest of the wealthy and corporate interests that are directly responsible for the losses to the working class. I predict that if this doesn't change in the not very distant future, civil unrest will lead to civil war. Fortunately for me, I will be in my grave before that happens. At least I hope that is the case. A republican said it best. See the memes.

==================
Nick Nicholson, I disagree with you 100%. Your mentality resonates with that of Hitler, Boris Yeltsin, and that 1917 Bolshevik of Russia. And now stemming in communist Russia, China, and North Korea, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and all Hispanic countries, and many others.

Freedom was the birthday of this nation. It was the foundation carried forward via our 3 Founding documents, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. It was a foundation given by God, under that banner of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. These are our guidelines.

Under these documents we have specific guidelines how justices, and discipline are carried on for all the people. They were promulgated under the laws of God. These are the guidelines we follow for more than 246 years and became the shining country in the world.

That is how America carried these laws, how people carried on their lives and behave insuring that all are protected.

With these laws, the ingenuities of the people are unlimited to explore and develop. How we became the greatest nation on earth. We the people are allowed to develop and use our wisdom, to work and to achieve. Results of these achievements
benefitted all of us, and the whole world.

Now how many countries benefit from the US via America's worldwide donations in hundreds of billions of dollars. Muslims and Christian alike receive them every year. These billions of dollars came from the people who were given the freedom to work, explore and use their brains to discover, invent, and develop productively.

Your mentality wants the power of the government to dictate to you and discipline how you think and behave. Your mentality requires that the government tells you how you work and do accordingly.

We have that now, among the countries of NK, Cuba, China, and Russia, and most Hispanic countries.

T is why hat until now 15 million invaders came over to the US to take our lives for their own. Most of them came from China, South American and Hispanic countries like Nicaragua, Venezuela, Africa, the Muslim countries, and all of those whose countries don't have the freedom instituted by God.

They live by bombing other Christian nations like Iran's Hamas, and Hezbollah.

From the Hispanics, they live manufacturing drugs selling to the US to poison our own people. Their brains are not used to develop matters that benefit people. Why, because the government exercise the control and power how they live. That is what you are trying to present. AND THAT IS EVIL, under the tyrannic power of the government while the people are not free to think but follow the dictates of the government.

That is your ideology, Nick Nicholson. When you require that. It is tragic and disaster for the country as evidenced now when almost all people of the world are coming to America where freedom prevails.

Although Joe Biden and Barack wanted to take it away from the people, to surrender to the Mullah of Iran.

Excellent reply!
I also disagree with Nick.
He stated the biggest oxymoron of all times!!
“Government controlled freedom”
I have always told my 6 children (5 because I inherited a 17 year old stepson) that if you are right, I’ll fight to the end for you. If you are wrong, I’ll crucify you more than the other people would.
I have the same rules for politics, as I have spoken ill of most of the Rino’s.
Democrats don’t do that, they never correct or unapprove of the democrats in office no matter how wrong they are. Democrats always make excuses ( usually blame the Republicans)
Bottom line is that most (95%) of democrats will convince themselves that the democrat politicians are never in fault.
One small example is the black NY congressman stated that all J6 defendants should get the maximum punishment for disturbing congress but doesn’t think he should be held accountable for pulling the fire alarm to stop a vote in congress.
Not one democrat on this site said he was in the wrong. They all made excuses for that NY POS!
