what do you mean by "the lower fifth" of electoral votes? It's been quite a while since the election but I thought that he had well over 300. What people don't seem to understand is that the 2016 election was more a rejection of the Obama administration's pie in the sky fiscal policies and bizarre social policies than anything else. What resonated to voters was that Trump was willing to name the problems and promise to get the train back on the rails. I am so sad that this election illustrated how far apart people are ideologically. I look at liberals and think "After all that has happened and is happening what's wrong with you?" and liberals look at the conservatives much the same. Thus the controversy around the MSM, where most got their news for years. People would read something about a topic or event they had personal knowledge about and think "wait, that's not what happened at all." And this has changed from being isolated incidents to being a regular diet of biased nonsense from MSM. When I took journalism many years ago the cardinal rule was to be factual, regardless of your own opinion. Now you actually see newscasters rolling their eyes, making faces and laughing at or otherwise dismissing anything that they don't agree with. And I personally lay that at the feet of lack of personal integrity. If you're in a job where you need to sometimes investigate and report on things that don't fit your own comfort zone you'd think that would be an opportunity for personal growth, not an opportunity to try to pound what you discover into a known and comfortable box.

This is not posting correctly?

do you truly believe all that was democrats? I'll bet you believe that the earned income credit that was designed to help the working poor came from the Clinton administration, don't you....

If you don't view Kennedy's actions as cowardice, leaving the woman at the scene of an accident, we have nothing else to say on the matter, we're worlds apart. What does having a lot of power have to do with not making good moral decisions? Shouldn't it prevail even more? As far as Trump not on office, isn't it the persons true stature when he does something in a good ethical manner when "not" in the lime light. To only do something good in the lime light is only self serving and insincere, now you are hitting on the true nature of Trump. Locker room talk along those line is more sincere than someone on a political podium.

Now you puzzle me ,why would you be more concerned for past political figureheads, rather than the present one who immediately affects us.

Gee Davie I just gave you several examples of how freedom can come from government. What I left out was because of government helping me get my degrees I was able to find the financial freedom to do whatever I want. It depends on what you define as freedom Davie but government has done far more for me than the god created from mans imagination...

Morgan

Yes he is well practice in his precise and articulate verbal fencing, touche' for him... though a bit of an over reaction. Next time I reply to him I will have to consider his sensitivity and be more diplomatic.

Logically then, in your view, Government is greater than God?

Morgan

Peter you've just tap on some great points, not the part referring to god but the main one I'm referring to is being able to get an higher education, and become a more productive citizen. Isn't that the very thing to make our country strong.I was just listening to Michio Kaku discuss the genius student exchange who come in on grants from our government to finish their education and than work in science and technology research and are then hired by the military or research firms, due to being unable to find students in the US with the same caliber. His point was the general lack of education and competition with other countries. My daughter who lives in Seattle as confirms his statements telling me how the companies there are desperate for sci-tec people and are paying big money to get them and most are from foreign countries.

We've been ignoring a big problem focusing on the military, we're making the military industrialists wealthier at the cost of our country, but they'll never allow people to realize it and believe it. Just look at what Trump is doing.

Geeez come on now Eagle, "a threat on all Humanity"

As a good soldier of the Leftist Progressive Democrat cause Eugene did his job in posting a challenge that is ripe with debatable fodder in obvious support of the Party agenda that the president of the United States is not fit for office; the reason being secondary to the objective. Many, including myself, have responded with legitimate points of argument – not demeaning rhetoric.

One does not have to come close to intellectual superiority to understand these basic or fundamental core elements to argue them, pro or con. You have yet to respond thoughtfully to any of the many, many arguable points raised here from the simple using Jefferson without complete context to misdirect (something Obama is particularly good at by the way) to the nuclear elements of accountability and responsibility of the press raised by others, to the challenge that the majority of the media belong to the Democrat Party and are by association therefore, suspect at best. It seems if you have to read or write more than one or two lines you are flummoxed.

I have over the years on OPP discovered that there is one significant 'tell' that indicates when a Leftist is truly cornered ... that is, frustrated that they cannot respond truthfully without blowing the party agenda (which is all issues) exacerbated by their inability to read the English language for comprehension, something you have demonstrated here abundantly - that tell being when they attack my avatar. Welcome to the club. I will put a notch on the banana for you.

Why don’t you take one of the issues alluded to and debate it. Maybe write something as huge as a paragraph. Show us all that you are not the delusional Leftist Proletariat zombie you appear to be. Or alternatively, make my point and just tell me how stupid I am – again.

A free press is suppose to report the news, not create"fake news" to further their socialist agenda.

Howdy CDM,

I hope that you and Morgan will reach a point of compromise soon.

I don't really know her very well but I found it somewhat painful to read your responses to her.

I give her credit for her participation in these discussions we engage in.

It shows her concern for the issues that we face as citizens of this troubled nation.

I appreciate your participation as well and I compliment your skillful literary technique.
