Of course we can get along. I got along for 8 long years while Obama was in office. 8 years of Clinton. 4 of Jimmy Carter. 6 of Johnson. My problem now is the 2 year long tantrum the left is throwing because Hillary lost. And the fact that so many feel entitled to silence, belittle and vocally and physically attack conservatives. Even on broadcast television. Constantly. This is WRONG. Waters, Holder, Clinton, numerous mayors saying it's ok. The stinking mayor of Chicago (who's not running for a 3rd term because he's this close to being run out of town on a rail) Rahm Emanuel saying our President is not welcome in "his" town. REALLY? This is nuts and has to stop. And NOT by conservatives rolling over as they historically do and giving the liberals their way. But by some real compromise.

Oh, the tantrum we are throwing now has nothing to do with Hillary and everything to do with who is president of this country now. And I'm glad you can get along but Obama wasn't in office two weeks before the Republicans you helped to elect swore to make him a one-term president. Now mind you, at that time Obama was trying to deal with the deepest recession since the great depression so your representatives were putting their own political ideology above the welfare of the country. Now in my book that sucks but that was, and is par for the course in terms of the type of people you conservatives have put in charge of this country.

And because Trump has done everything possible to divide this country he may hold the office but the only country he is president of is the conservative states of America. I can wait two more years and then I will be more than glad to see him go...

That's pretty funny, considering that Obama was the most racially and socially d******e president in my lifetime, and I go back 63 years. And all he was doing was carrying on the works of l*****ts who came before him, only at an accelerated pace.

When I was growing up, an American was an American, then the liberal wing of the Democrats, who as yet hadn't moved so far to the left, started in with the divisiness of "social justice." Suddenly you were an African American, a Mexican American, an Asian American, etc, no longer simply an American.

And the lie they told was that this was supposed to eng****r "e******y." Then in the interests of "e******y" they stressed the differences between one "type" of American and another, at the same time advocating treating the different classifications of Americans differently in areas like employment and higher education.

But I digress.

Obama misled the American public when he said he was going to close the "racial divide," and once in office he caused more racial tension than anything else.

Black unemployment numbers increased dramatically while minority relations with police hit the skids. Just like every Democrat who has used the black v**e to get elected, he promptly turned his back on the black community once he was elected... except where keeping them angry was concerned.

Enter President Trump: when he asked b****s to v**e for him, he asked, "what have you got to lose?" Since he's been elected, black unemployment, along with Hispanic unemployment, is the lowest it's been in recorded history.

I recently lived in New York for over seven years, and during that time I met b****s and other minorities who worked for Trump, and every last one of them loved working for him.

The only "r****m" involving President Trump exists in the fantasy worlds and wishful thinking of a whole lot of anti-Trump left wingers whose hostility towards the man is totally unreasonable and based on a lot of disinformation or partisan political tunnel vision.

Not your behavior but the behavior of Conservatives in general. I don't know if you ever heard of Conservative Underground but I had been a member on that board for over 8 years where I got along with most of the conservatives on the board and even changed a mind or two. Then I had my stroke and I missed a whole year and when I got back it had actually been taken over but a bunch of soup N**i's minus the soup. Now I made the mistake of going up against one of these N**i's when I happened to mention that F*****m was a right-wing ideology and even listed the common traits shared with conservatives today. Well, this guy took offense because he was Jewish and I guess he thought Jews couldn't be N**i's whereupon he banned me for life proving that he was indeed a N**i after all.

Well, that brought my migration over to this board where I've found the most disagreeable conservatives yet. Now I know you want a single party system and you want to be done with liberals once and for all but we aren't going anywhere and unless I'm once again banned for life I have no plans of going anywhere no matter how nasty you cons want to get. So go ahead and spit Archie and you will find me the most unpleasant Liberal you ever met--though you have a ways to go if your intent is to be the most unpleasant conservative yet--there you have to get in line and with the cons here it's a long, long one...

Of course we can get along. I got along for 8 long years while Obama was in office. 8 years of Clinton. 4 of Jimmy Carter. 6 of Johnson. My problem now is the 2 year long tantrum the left is throwing because Hillary lost. And the fact that so many feel entitled to silence, belittle and vocally and physically attack conservatives.

He did boast about being a United while he did his bit to disunite. Being an Obama fan, you must have at least listened to a few of his interviews and speeches.

And no, it's not the president's job to make sure anyone has a job, but it IS his and Congress's job to allow the economy to "breathe" rather than smothering it as Obama did with his regulations.

His education policies were the same as the rest of the Democrats' as well where inner city (the PC term for black neighborhoods) schools were concerned, where they continued graduating students who were well below grade level in Math and English, and Obama's administration policies discouraged schools from expelling minority students who assaulted faculty or otherwise disrupted other students' opportunity to learn.

He taught these troubled young people that they didn't have to take responsibility for themselves and their actions.

His minions fought tooth and nail against charter schools, which have a proven track record for actually teaching minority youth and helping them become college ready, because like the rest of the Democratic Party, they have a vested interest in keeping as many poor b****s uneducated, and at the same time keeping their campaign megadonors in the teachers' unions happy.

Back to the smothering part: When you render the business environment unfriendly rather than allow it to breathe and function without taxing and regulating it into the ground, causing downsizing and outsourcing, and you don't allow it to be flooded with i******s, you are providing more employment opportunities for lesser sk**led workers. Unfortunately, there are more b****s who come from welfare families who fit this category than w****s.

Isn't it interesting how so many more b****s have jobs now, are becoming independent under Trump than under Obama?

This isn't some left field observation from the goober dominated fantasy world occupied by so many confused liberals, it is reality, the kind of thing we regularly embrace out here in the real world.

You ought to come out here and see for yourself, it'll do you a world of good.

I spent 3 months in Just several years ago on a job, and at one point met a young woman who was from there. She had virtually no Mexican accent and spoke excellent English. She explained that she had gone to college in Texas the second time she was there illegally, on the public dime, before she was caught by the Border Patrol and deported for the second time.

Prior to that, as a security supervisor in a Nevada casino, I was involved in a few arrests of i******s whom we'd caught for things like purse snatching and battery, where we subsequently learned that a few of them had been deported anywhere from once to eight or nine times. Two of those fellows were collecting food stamps and at least one of them had been treated in a local hospital.

On another occasion, there was a southeast Asian with a green card we arrested twice in two weeks for felony theft (grand larceny). After the second time we got him I asked one of the locally based Immigration agents why they didn't just deport a habitual criminal like that, and he explained that they only deported violent felons.

Now, as for those i******s who work, mostly "under the table," most of those millions in untaxed dollars gets sent home. The Mexican government doesn't mind because those remittance incomes put as much money into the Mexican economy as their oil and gas industry.

As such, at the cost of American jobs, we are acting as an off the books welfare system for "the folks back home" in Mexico and points south.

As far as the liberalyth that these "undocumented immigrants" only do the jobs Americans won't do, that's more equine maneur.
A friend of mine who is a retired Union carpenter once took me for a tour of the Putnam County, N.Y. town he lives in and pointed out new homes that had had foundations laid, been framed, roofed, had bricks laid, etc by i******s, working off the books.

These are jobs that a whole lot of Americans would take except that they're being undercut by i******s for less than an American can survive on. Some find cheap live-in hotels that aren't too aggressive about looking at ID, and three or more will share a room. In the case of my friend's town, local contractors put their illegal labor pool up in a "bunk house" above some stores.

As I see it, there are two strategic reasons the Democrats fight so hard to keep these folks in the country. One is because their agenda, and v**es, depend(s) upon keeping unsk**led b****s from obtaining employment, the other is for the additional v**es they expect in the event that they can get these i******s amnesty/citizenship.

So when I hear a Democrat blathering about having compassion or empathy for i******s, all I hear is pure bulls**t.

Do you know why undocumented immigrants work under the table? Its because they can't get temporary work permits because Republicans fail to fund courts. Do you expect these people to sit around for years waiting for a court case to be heard? Another point. We have a huge labor shortage. I doubt that Americans will work in construction if they can avoid it. It is seasonal. The whole immigration this is a mess. It looks like no hope in in sight because it is some kind of perverse talking point that gets lots of clicks on social media.
