No bars in Dallas. It's been a Dry County for as long as I can remember. They DO have "Members Only" key clubs where it's liquor by the drink, bring your own bottle and store it behind the bar at some of them and pay for "set ups".

I WAS a Democrat, oblivious to the reality of life vs politics - lost in a fog of misunderstanding and a lack of knowledge. When the obvious conflict with my personally held beliefs and convictions hit me between the eyes, it found me supporting George McGovern and a party that didn't represent ME any more ... if it ever did(about 1976). In the next election cycle, I immersed myself in local Republican party politics and subsequently, over the next 30 years, watched that party leave me, too, as it abandoned the principles of smaller, less intrusive government, lower taxes and more freedom through the acceptance of personal responsibility for our lives that had attracted me to it in the first place. I saw Trump advocating for those principles, voted for and helped elect him and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Could really use one of those "Post of the Day" icons someone suggested above!!!

Yep, another trashy-minded, trash-talking Liberal caught opening his trash-mouth to spew his venomous "Fake News" trash. Your characterization of T.E.A. Party activists and rallies is spot-on! Their first national rally was in DC and during its organizational phase, there were a lot of Leftist infiltrators trying to convince attendees to carry weapons so that they could be branded and treated as a bunch of armed anarchist lunatics. The aftermath requiring little cleanup is still contrasted today with the pigsty left by the Left's Occupy Wall Street movement that followed. Most on the Left have forgotten that T.E.A. is an acronym for "Taxed Enough Already" - the issue that got the T.E.A. Party its start.

Great summation!!

So, if they are that handy for you, why ask ME to waste my time researching? I missed your posts because I am rarely on OPP, having taken a break from time-wasting social media for almost a year until recently. Give me some links ... I have no problem with understanding things.

IN other words, You've got nothing!!!?!!

A color map, accessible on the internet through an unimpeachable source would be preferable ... and a little less "color" in your replies would be preferable as well. I know this was going on under Obama but show me where the same resettlement option is being exercised under Trump. Current stuff, please.

Germany Has Gone Mad

Posted By: Joe Gilbertsonon: November 30, 2018 In: America Great Again

In a supreme case of historical irony, the far-left ideology formed in reaction to that of the Nazi party has caused chants such as “Jew, Jew, cowardly pig, come out and die alone” to return to the streets of Germany. With Stars of David burning in the public square, a standoff with Russia over Eastern European territory, a stranglehold on Greece, and an ever-expanding role in the Arab world, someone who had slept since the 1940s might conclude Germany was the victor of WW2.

As the strongest economy within the European Union, Germany had accomplished its near-century long quest of controlling Europe. However, 77 years after the beginning of this journey, on the brink of success, Germany faces the very real risk of imploding under internal pressure. The external threats – such as the one million migrants now living in the state – are only welcomed in by the deep-seated, indoctrinated masochism of the German government.

The capitulation of the policing authorities, also known as the abandonment of the German people, has already occurred. In a leaked letter from the German Chancellor’s office to Kiel’s police authority, police were alerted not to pursue smaller offenses (etc. shoplifting/pickpocketing) due to being overburdened. The overburdening in question comes in the form of mass sexual assault and record high reports of violent theft. This past New Year’s Eve, for example, German authorities reported nearly 2000 sexual assaults, with the vast majority of the assailants being “southerners,” the politically correct word for Islamic migrants in Germany.

In response to 1000’s of women facing irreversible mental scarring, Henriette Reker, the female Mayor of Cologne, offered the following deplorable, victim-blaming statement: “There’s always the possibility of keeping a certain distance of more than an arm’s length — that is to say to make sure yourself you don’t look to be too close to people who are not known to you, and to whom you don’t have a trusting relationship.”

According to the Associated Press, these refugees who commit crimes in Germany do not even face deportation because “the danger they face in their home countries is perceived as greater than the reason to deport them.” Essentially, we are seeing a government that has put the safety of migrants over the safety of its citizens. With one million migrants already in Germany and many more on their way, there is no wonder why only 29 percent of Germans have a positive opinion of immigration from the third world. Unfortunately, when Democracy is merely bank sponsored theatre, a consensus of the public has little to no influence over policy.

With the current projections, German taxpayers can expect to spend €77.6 billion ($86.2 billion) over the next four years feeding, housing and training refugees as well as helping their home countries to stem the flow, according to updated budget estimates for the period from 2017 to 2020. Since the vast majority of migrants are poorly educated and have virtually no valuable skills, the German working class can look forward to both increased competition for jobs and increased taxes to pay for those now competing. Not surprisingly, these anti-German people, anti-democratic policies have caused a rise in far-right political parties and violence. We are witnessing a country tearing itself apart – out of principle.

But why, Germany? Why have far-right groups grown to a post WW2 peak? Why have the chants for Jews to die returned to streets? Why have you betrayed your working class? Why does an alleged democracy have policies only 27 percent of its people agree with? Why are you blaming women for being victims of the men you brought to their towns?

The origin of leftist thought came from the idea that nothing is created without the exploitation of others: If there are rich people, they must have exploited poor people to arrive at their success. Extrapolated to a global scale, Germany, as white capitalists ( the worst, most shameful thing to be according to the left), must conclude others had to be exploited to arrive at success. Known for their pragmatism, we see Germany switch over to a policy of self-flagellation. It is of no import to the liberal whether or not people are economically drowning in Germany or that women are raped on an hourly schedule; rather than that, the only policy is that of guilt-induced, borderline-like self-harming. Objective thinking comes secondary to the self-harming needed to rectify the guilt associated with success.

There is certainly an argument that the West played a role in the migrant crisis, but burning down one’s own home has never helped fellow victims of house fires. The German people must now decide whether or not they accept being the sacrificial lambs of ideologues.

Bush '41 also told his wife, Barbara, that although he was in Texas on November 22, 1963 he was no where near Dallas. But one B & W photo taken in Dealy Plaza at the time of JFK's assassination clearly shows a man in the background who bears an extremely close likeness to Bush, who was employed by the CIA, and later appointed its director. In 1976, George H.W. Bush was appointed CIA director by president and former Warren Commission member Gerald Ford at the exact time that newly erected investigative committees were probing the possible role of the CIA in the assassination plots to kill Fidel Castro, Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy. Key people and the SAME people keep popping up in positions of influence where a certain outcome of events or investigations of events seems to be preordained. The truth gets buried and people escape prosecution. Justice delayed is justice denied, as they say.

These "exceptions" lead to a two-tiered justice system with its intrinsic inequities and unfairness, whether the favored parties are politically connected WITHIN government or a 'politically correct' (favored) class protected BY government. All of this is contrary to Constitutional principles and indicative of the depths of corruption within our government across all branches. I believe such contributing policies are intended to trigger chaos through public revolt and a subsequent suspension of our Rights and liberty through the eventual imposition of Martial Law.

That is absolutely my wish as well. It is nothing but nest of spies anyway and definitely a threat to our sovereignty.

I think that is why she will be ignored - not given important committee assignments or positions of influence BECAUSE she is a threat to universal appeal of Democrat party positions. If I am wrong the better for Republicans - her radicalism needs to be the new face of the Democrat party to improve Republican chances at re-taking the House in 2020.

Socialist/Marxist/Stalinist/Communist - They are all just various stages of development of the same noxious weed, and the TRUE politics of greed disguised as a form of egalitarianism. Obama and HRC were peas in a pod - devotee's of Saul Alinsky and Communists at heart. But the Deep State conspiracy that they launched in an attempt to gain information on the Trump campaign ... once the truth does come out about the weaponization of not only the DoJ but our Intelligence networks as well and the corruption (treason) it all was designed to coverup, the American people will be better served through the exposure of those involved. I pray this happens. Are you interested in the names and interconnectedness of all these Deep State actors? Dan Bongino put up a YouTube video (of his speech hawking his book, of course) recently and I think you'll find it enlightening. Sebastian Gorka was at this event with him and others. https://youtu.be/_aevtHHULag
