Seth...yup. But more h**e during WWI which quickly dissipated when the American massesrealized they'd been lured into war by perfidious Albion and an egomAniac president
Aided by treacherous Teddy Roosevelt.

America has great moments. Its been degraded since the late 80s.
Now we have a president who would rebuild our greatnessbit who is opposed by political pirates who would undermine the choice of the v**ers; who don't believe in secure borders;
Whorave over the chance to k**l the unborn and now the born infants; who would protect i******s and fund them; who h**e capitalism and worship socialism; and who promote the expression of free speech. And lets not forget they would disarm our citizenry while leaving robbers, muggers, rapists, drug dealers and gang bullies to roam with deadly weapons.

Victim? I am no victim, never have claimed to be a victim in this.

Yes. The left didn't invent h**e, they just perfected it.

I think the grate divide started with Obama because of his color more than the traditional left / right crap... his policy's were a bit restrictive on industry but forced some good changes in the long term...

It's an insurance policy WE PAID FOR !!! It's been squandered by the politicos !!!

That's the problem on the forum maximus. People argue opinions rather than facts,. It ALWAYS ends up name calling. There can be no viable resolution arguing opinions !!!

In my book, if you lie, you can't cry when someone points out that lie, if you make a r****t comment, you can't cry when someone points it out, if you get into bed with terrible dictators, you can't cry when someone points it out, anything he does that comes off shady, he can expect that it will be pointed out, if he doesn't like it, he shouldn't do/say that which is going to result in criticism. Obama had to deal with eight years of vicious attacks during his term, where was the bleeding hearts of the right during that period? Trump is barely 2 years into the criticism, some of which may be undeserved but the majority of it, well deserved. If he can't take the criticism that he has earned, then he should do better in avoiding having earned it.

The criticism that Obama received, Muslim, Kenyan, gay, crooked, liar among other things, was he Muslim? No, he was a Protestant. Was he born in Kenya? No, regardless what those too ignorant to acknowledge the t***h wish to say, he was born in Hawaii, even Trump admitted it when he saw the birth certificate for himself, before returning to the ugly lies later? Was Obama gay, no. Was he crooked? If you have proof, show some. Did he lie? I am sure everyone has told some in their lives, I am sure he told some too, there were some I know of for sure, I am sure they didn't start off as a lie, they turned into one when he failed to get the plan he wanted and at that point, he should have made amends, he didn't, that was on him, but he was honest in nearly everything else he stated. Trump on the other hand, he has worked hard nearly everyday to EARN his criticism, he lies deliberately, goes out of his way to discredit his own intelligence community, jump into bed with despots, criticize people with disabilities, American veterans politicians he doesn't like, main stream media...

The unwarranted h**e continues to this day against Obama, Hillary and just about any other Democrat that has made the mistake of making their existence known. You can't ask the one side to stop while condoning the hatred of those on your side.

R you ABSOLUTELY certain you've got it straight Common_Sense ???

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

I have always wondered how the presidency would have been different if race was left out of the equation...

I recall a cousin telling me how wonderful it was to finally have a Black president and how everything was going to change because of it..

Just sounded insane...
Basing a person's ability to govern on their race...

I notice that there is a large number of right-wingers (myself included) who support Nikki Haley... What hapoened to all of the r****m and misogyny?

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

Why not?

You seem to...

"The other side" considers every single thing they say and do to be right and proper, for the good of all mankind, whereas any who dare utter an iota of dissenting opinion on even the most picayune talking point or policy of these enlightened beings in our midst is engaging in "h**e speech."

You see, it's impossible to be "reasonable" if you're not in total agreement with these far superior enlightened ones, because they know better than the rest of us what is good for us.

"It's not that liberals are dumb," said Ronald Reagan, "it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

"Arguing with a liberal," said someone else, "is like standing in a bucket and trying to pull yourself up by the handle."

However, throughout the last half century in America, their "contributions" have been made with, apparently, no proper analysis as to the relationships of said contributions with the inevitability of that most important factor, human nature, nor with what Dr. Thomas Sowell considers the three questions one should ask a liberal:

1. What for?
2. Compared to what?
3. At what cost?

As a result, their "contributions" have resulted in more misery among those they purported to be "helping," more violent crime, astronomical waste of taxpayers' money leading to even higher taxes, racial tension where there previously was none and numerous other unpleasantries that need not have come to pass.

As each of these "contributions" have reached their disastrous results, these selfsame "enlightened ones" have somehow neglected to accept any blame for that which they have wrought, instead blaming the very people who opposed the unleashing of these enlightened "contributions" on society.

They are so sure that their omniscience is absolutely perfect that no failure can possibly lead back to their doorsteps, for all bad things are the fault of "others."

So what does a great nation do when it has been so thoroughly infected with the social disease called "liberalism" whose so-called "good intentions" promise not only to diminish, but completely bring down the nation in every way, shape and form?

In less "civilized" times, the situation could have been addressed via "the sword."

Today, however, we are burdened with having to absorb this disease, allowing it to cohabit our nation and, through indoctrination of our youth, disinformation through clueless media and various unwelcome inroads to social engineering, tolerate it's malignancy even as it uses our own right to free speech against us.

We have, by not nipping the disease's boiling frog strategy in the bud at the outset, allowed it to t***sform our once level society into a vast quagmire of slippery slopes.

Seth: great analysis. I'm skeptical and think the whole thing may turn into civil unrest or revolution. In fact, the only comfort I get out of it all is the prospect f civil war or at least much guerilla warfare.
I don't advocate violence--I just relish its coming.
