Agreed. The only issue that gives me pause is that it would require an amendment, but I can get over that.
V**er suppression alive and well in the Republican ideology I see.
Should we consider gerrymandering some more at the same time? It should guarantee a Republican victory if we do it just right.

https://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-149884-1.htmlAs for conflating, no, I said they claim to be Christians, they attend Christian churches, they claim they pray before meetings, have I stated that all Christians are w***e s*********ts, no, did I say that the KKK claim to be christian, yes.
As for your claim that I am claiming to be somehow victimized... Yeah, I don't recall EVER claiming to be a victim so that is rather an asinine allegation on your part.
Edit: As for that other thread I linked, you even replied to some of my posts there so you can't claim to not have noticed that I was in that thread AND defending Islam.

You do know that the KKK claim to be a religious organization, right? I have also encountered many so called Christians that have tried to deny Christian involvement in those practices and/or downplay the Christian aspects of those practices.

I just call things as I see them, the same claim many far worse than myself on the right claim. Is pointing out facts and realities really bigoted? If people are so offended by the t***h, perhaps instead of being offended, perhaps they should work harder to prevent it from being the t***h in the first place. The flip side of course is that nobody can go back and change events of the past, what about changing the events of the present? Look at how many so called Christians go about trying to paint Islam in a bad light, creating anti-Islamic propaganda based on lies.
Of course we are straying from the original topic.

If you felt that way concerning Obama how come you never posted any threads about it?
You post plenty of threads about Trump... But None about Obama...
You were a member while Obama was in office, but didn't seem to have a problem with him...
Slippery slope you are proposing there, sometimes there are levels we base our tolerances on, perhaps Obama didn't reach the level for him. I am much less inclined to complain about one's policies if they harm me but make things better for those less fortunate, than I am to complain about one who makes Americans as a whole a laughing stock. Do we look better in the world view if we appear to be easily deceived? Do we look better in the eyes of the world if we elect someone with so little integrity?

Since your post seems to be about lying. If you like your Doctor you can keep your Doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your plan. How have those lies played out ? Compared to this
How did I know that was coming? The deflection is laughable. How does ANYTHING Obama did have ANY impact on what Trump said? Was there some sort of temporal anomaly that formed and created a psychic link between Obama's brain during that portion of that speech and Trump's when he lied about what he said and when he lied again later regarding the same gaffe that FORCED Trump to lie? What you seem to be proposing sure does sound like it could be very interesting to someone that loves sci-fi, perhaps I should propose your theory to some that love sci-fi. Or were you proposing some other explanation as to what anything that Obama did or didn't do has ANY bearing on this thread?

If being a "conservative" is the epitome of intelligence, why is it that they can't figure out that trickle down economics never works? Why is it they can't even figure out why it doesn't work? I figured out why it doesn't work long ago and I am not a "conservative", I am conservative, just not a "conservative", there is a difference.
I find very little true conservatism in the "conservative party", they lower taxes (typically primary focus being on the wealthy and business interests) while spending more, what is so conservative about that kind of practice? Does the "conservative party" believe in conservation in the form of natural resources? What does the "conservative party" truly believe in conserving? Many "conservatives" appear to be all for NOT conserving the 1st amendment, they seem to be for suppressing freedom of speech, we have seen some examples expressed here on OPP by right wing posters in some of their textual assaults on MSM and all too often, any poster that doesn't support their opinions. This thread right here is proof that "conservatives" aren't opposed to further "stepping all over the constitution" as the 26th amendment gives anyone over the age of 18 the right to v**e.
Yet we must remember, even though the "conservative party" "stomps all over amendments" they dislike they wish to conserve the constitution.

Lowering the v****g age to 16 is ridiculous, in my opinion.
Since teenage brains aren’t fully developed, some areas aren’t completely online. Most important, these areas are in the prefrontal cortex, which controls reasoning and teen emotion and self-regulation. As a result, teens can be more impulsive and moody. And because brain development and decision-making are closely related, adolescents aren’t as good at planning ahead and making careful decisions.
Lack of frontal lobe maturity catalyzes a variety of teen behaviors. That’s because the prefrontal cortex is involved with a wide range of functions, known as executive functions. These include the following:
Complex decision-making
Planning sk**ls
Impulse control
Emotional reactions
Focusing attention
Prioritizing competing information received all at once
The ability to ignore external distractions.
There is not a strict time table for a fully developed prefrontal cortex yet usually by the time a person is twenty-one it is complete or nearly. But it is interesting to note that about 17% of teenagers fail to adequately develop a prefrontal cortex. Do we need a V**e Test to determine who may not be adequately mature in this area to cast a b****t?
Twenty-one should be the minimum age requirement.
As far as the requirement to be a property owner or tax payer, the Tax Policy Center has updated its estimate of the percentage of households that will not pay federal income tax this year; it now figures it is 45.3 percent. This includes hard-working men and women, mostly responsible and decent adults, that simply do not make enough to be taxed.
To make a requirement to be a property owner is more ridiculous than allowing a 16 year old to v**e. Does not sound like the land of the free to make such a demand. But it does sound like a Banker's wet dream.

I am all for raising minimum age to v**e to 21 PROVIDED we also raise the minimum age to enlist or be drafted (should the draft ever return) into the military be raised to 21 as well. In my opinion, if you are old enough to serve and potentially doe for our country, then you are old enough to both v**e AND drink. Why should we permit one to die for their country and to decide who should run our country if we don't think they are mature enough to decide whether they should or should not drink?
Why am I not surprised to see so many on the right wanting to raise the minimum age well beyond 21? Perhaps it is because the Republicans are well known in their v**er suppression tactics and gerrymandering, why would we be surprised that they would want to eliminate as many younger v**ers as they can? They will never refuse to stoop to any level to win at any cost, yet they piss and moan the most about the Democrats and the v***r f***d Republicans accuse them of.

Why do the lies of one politicIan offend you While all of the others go unnoticed?
Most lie to gain something they want and those lies tend to be much harder to spot, to lie about something so obvious and insignificant, what is the possible gain? It could be taken as an insult to our intelligence, he appears to think we are too stupid to know that he is lying, he even thinks we are so stupid that we will believe two consecutive lies back to back that contradict one another.

I agree that he is given to hyperbole and bends the t***h at times... At other times he may go back on statements...
This is true of many politicians...
Hyperbole? Bending the t***h? I do not see either in the statement this post is regarding. A couple lies, one to blame the press for not reporting what he said correctly (the media lied about what he said), another to claim he did it on purpose. If he did it on purpose, why would he lie about that initially? If one makes a gaffe, is it really a big deal? Depending on the gaffe, quickly correct it, ignore it, if necessary, apologize for any offense it may have caused, don't lie about it, what is the point of lying about it? It impugns your own integrity and it wasn't going to swing his way. All lying about something so obvious does is show just how little respect he has for the t***h.
Basically what I believe this thread is here to demonstrate is that Trump has no respect for the t***h and he has no respect for Americans in general as he thinks he can lie about something so obvious and so insignificant and we are just stupid enough not to KNOW he is outright lying to our faces. He reminds me of a child that gets caught with chocolate all over their face and questioned as to whether they ate the chocolate cake and even though the evidence is all over their face, they say they haven't. Does having one that has no respect for the t***h as our president make us as Americans appear more honest, do we look as though we have integrity when we accept the lies of our president?
It is one thing to make a mis-statement, it is one thing to say something that isn't necessarily true by mistake or even if you think you may even get away with it, to lie when there is no way ANYBODY is going to believe you, there is NO excuse. All it does is trash your own integrity.
