Everything I posted is factual -- if you were so "thoughtful," there would occasionally, even over some distant trivial issue, be at least one tiny iota of something or other posted by a conservative that you wouldn't take umbrage with.

However, that is not the case, so it becomes obvious that you are the class of "progressive" who believe that by telling people you are essentially middle-of-the-road and receptive to all arguments that your input will carry more gravity.

I find that "progressives" overall believe that they are more intellectually advanced than the average, everyday American, particularly us "deplorables," and therefore more difficult to see through when fabricating your credentials as ultra-reasonable, flexible thinkers.

That wasn't a "rant," it was an informed observation.

However...

Every argument you ever pose supports every left wing agenda that comes down the pike, without exception, or opposes wh**ever positions have been posted by any conservatives.

You then (very t***sparently) do as all "progressives" do, pretend to be an objective, unbiased "voice of reason."

This is a well worn technique of the left, who repeatedly push us toward a totalitarian political destination while honey-coating their intentions because they know most Americans would want no part of what their end game would be.

The 3 examples I posted are totally accurate, as is my own opinion that you are basically a pseudo-intellectual phony -- if it walks like a duck...

Our political system, however you like to criticize the existing (meaning the way it's been structured and constitutionalized) for the last 243 years, remains the best in the world.

C*******m and its stepchild, socialism, are the antitheses of our free society. In essence, they are our enemies in that no matter what those who promote them promise, experience had taught those of us who are smart enough to learn from history that they inevitably lead to corrupt, oppressive government, poverty and misery.

Ask the average Argentinian, or the average immigrant from s former C*******t Bloc country.

Is Having said that, let's look briefly at three stark similarities between the platform today's left leaning Democrats offer and what every single C*******t country has practiced.

1. Repression/attacks on the practice of Christianity (here, Christians face legal action for placing their religious beliefs over doing that which they consider sinful.

The left in this country has gone do far as to label Christians as a "h**e" group, bar all traces of Judeo-Christian belief from public venues under the falsehood of "seperating church and state" and even ban voluntary prayer from schools.

In a C*******t state, they engage in the same practices, only being totalitarian, they don't have to worry about public opinion*. Their reason, like that of the left here in America, whose ultimate goal is a similarly powerful and intrusive government, is to prevent belief in G-d from standing between the people and the total authority of the state.

2. Here in the U.S., the Democratic Party is relentlessly attempting to diminish, with the eventual goal of doing away with altogether, our Second Amendment rights in their thinly veiled attempt to disarm the public.

In every totalitarian nation in modern history, the same thing has been done so that (at least in theory, since criminals will still have them) only the government will have firearms.

3. Propagandizing of the media and education system, which speaks for itself both in any totalitarian (C*******t, socialist) country or here in America at the hands of the Democratic Party, who control the education system and have the MSM as their personal PR firm.

EXCELLENT!!!! I can not add one thing to this, it is perfect as written!!!!!!!

You might want to check again, America is NOT a democracy, (mob rule,) it's a Republic. And Making America great AGAIN, means moving away from the barbaric, savage, uncivilized butchering of the unborn, which has only been sanctioned by the government for a little less than 50 years. Before the SS created a "right" out of whole cloth that is no where in the Constitution, a******n was rightly considered an a*********n. Making America great AGAIN, means refusing to continue to define deviancy downward, so our children can be g***med into a deviate lifestyle. And Making America great AGAIN, means respecting the rule of law, which makes civilization possible, rather than ignoring lawlessness for a political agenda that benefits your party, but destroys the country. And the founders envisioned our great country would be lead by CITIZENS, not professional politicians. So no, America isn't great, AGAIN, yet. The decades of l*****t corruption- legal, political, and cultural still need a lot of correcting.

Are you going to open up about your prejudices any time soon?

Islamic Terrorists...

...k**led twice as many people in one month (5000) in November, 2014 than were k**led in 350 years of Inquisition (2000-3000).

...murder more people every day than the KKK has in the last 70 years (26 since 1945).

...k**led more civilians in two hours on September 11th (2977) than in the 26 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland (2236).

...massacred more Iraqis on a single day in June, 2014 (1566) than the number of criminals executed by America in the last 40 years (1423).

...k**led more Americans on American soil than did the combined militaries of Japan and N**i Germany in WWII.

...slaughter almost twice as many people everyday than were k**led during the entire Salem Witch Trials (20).

Man, you are stuck deep in stupid.

The wall is going up in all the right places, and paying for it is a hell of lot cheaper than the cost of dealing with millions of i******s. Who cares who pays for it.

Obamacare is a freaking disaster, has been from the get-go.

Locking her up is still on the table, just give it time.

Trump has chosen highly qualified people to fill key positions.

I haven't seen hide nor hair of a lobbyist working on Trump's behalf.

Building relationships with dangerous dictators is a hell of lot better than going to war with them.

President Trump has done more for our allies, many of whom are ungrateful snobs, than any president since Reagan. He has definitely gone above and beyond with Israel.

With every post, you take a s**t on the United States, if you h**e America so much, why are you still here?.

It is about the lowest-h*****g fruit around to point out that Donald Trump has not “drained the swamp”—i.e. addressed Washington’s corporate lobbying and corruption problems—despite having made such drainage one of his main campaign promises. ProPublica has provided a valuable service, however, by actually doing the legwork on this observation and finding out just how many lobbyists the Trump administration has hired. The answer is “at least 187,” many of whom have been appointed to positions in which they can do favors for the clients they used to represent. (And who they will no doubt represent in the future.) From a New York Times write-up of the data:

The administration has granted at least 31 waivers to some former lobbyists and others who had private-sector jobs that overlap with their new federal assignments, according to the database. Among them is Erik Baptist, a senior deputy general counsel at the Environmental Protection Agency. He previously worked for the American Petroleum Institute as a lobbyist on federal regulations related to [irl=https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4367220-Baptist-Erik-Waiver.html]renewable fuels[/url].


Here are some other fun ones:

• Environmental Protection Agency official Troy Lyons worked as a lobbyist for British Petroleum.

• EPA deputy administrator nominee Andrew Wheeler lobbied on behalf of Murray Energy, which describes itself as “the largest underground coal mining company in America.”

• EPA official David Ross is a lawyer who represented industry clients in suits against the EPA.

• Health and Human Services official Laura Clay Trueman worked as a lobbyist for Aetna.

• Health and Human Services official Courtney Austin Lawrence worked for a health insurers’ lobbying association.

• Housing and Urban Development official Michael Kelley worked as a lobbyist for several real estate companies.

• FDA counsel Rebecca Kathleen Wood worked for Bayer Pharma and the pharmaceutical-industry lobbying group PhRMA.

TheReligionofPeace.com (TROP) is a pluralistic, non-partisan site concerned with Islam's political and religious teachings according to its own texts. The purpose is to counter whitewashing and explain the threat that Islam truly poses to human dignity and freedom, as well as the violence and dysfunction that ensues as a direct consequence of this religion's s*********t ideology.

Islam is not defined by anyone's opinion, but by the Quran, Hadith and Sira. These historical texts are readily available in the information age, meaning that anyone can go straight to the source from any referenced article on this site.

While apologists of Islam generally use fragments of Quran verses, weaker hadith (Islam's version of "f**e news") and contemporary opinion to lower Western defenses, TROP explains the context, cites early biographers, and posts references to those Hadith collections deemed most reliable (Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim and Abu Dawud).

TROP is not associated with any organization. The site does not promote any religion, but it is not hostile to religion. We generally support the rights of atheists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, women, consenting adults, Muslims and anyone else on the planet to live as they wish without violating the rights of others.

TheReligionofPeace.com strongly condemns any attempt to harm or harass any Muslim anywhere in the world over their religion. Every person is entitled to be treated as an individual and judged only by his or her own words and deeds (see About Muslims).

TROP also denounces any act of vandalism against mosques or other property, including juvenile attempts to offend Muslims by desecrating copies of the Quran. (The best way of discrediting the Quran is to tell non-Muslims what it actually says about them).

The world we share is at a critical moment. After holding back Muslim conquests for 1400 years, Western borders are being thrown open to an irreversible flow of migration from the Islamic world. At the same time, important questions about Islam are being stigmatized and deliberately mischaracterized as "bigotry."

One reason is that many Muslims get offended when their religion is questioned, and this seems like a bad thing. Another is the false conflating of persons with ideology. Most Muslims are obviously not bad people. Most are "like us." The lazy conclusion is that "true" Islam must not be significantly different or dangerous.

But, tolerance doesn't mean denying t***h. Our culture has benefited greatly from the freedom to criticize dogma. Holding Islam to a different standard not only risks hard-fought social progress, but denies an Age of Enlightenment to those desperately in need of it. The mere fact that Islam requires special protection from scrutiny proves how necessary it really is.

The main purpose of this site is to challenge the assumption that all religion is the same, which is easily belied by common sense. Over 99% of religiously-motivated terror is committed explicitly in the name of this one faith. How can that be if it is just like all the others?

How is that we so often hear of converts to Islam turning to terror, but never the same with converts from Islam? Why are only ex-Muslims k**led? If 'ignorance of Islam' is the culprit, then why don't other religions have this problem, and why there are so many Islamic clerics, imams and preachers actively involved in terror cells and recruitment across the globe?

Lift the cloak of religion and it becomes obvious that there is a tremendous amount of social dysfunction tied to Islam's core texts and teachings. Polls show that large minorities - or even majorities - in the Islamic world approve of amputations, stonings, violence in defense of Islam, and draconian rules prohibiting other religions equal rights and freedom.

Acts of discrimination, h**e and terror that would be shocking in the name of any other faith are so commonplace in the Muslim world that it barely registers in Western media. The very fact that the bar of expectation is set so low for "the Religion of Peace" underscores just how different it really is.

No one uses the term "self-radicalization" with any other faith or attaches an "ism" to the end (Islamism) to project false hope that the "real thing" is something other than what it appears. Islam is the only ideology, religious or otherwise, in which critics are bullied into silence and told they have a "phobia" (or are "r****t" for challenging a s*********t religion that speaks far worse of them, along with everyone else outside the group identity).

Yet, where Islam dominates, there is systematic discrimination and oppression of non-believers. Where Muslims are a minority, there is a trend toward peevish self-interest and eventual violence when demands for special privilege and entitlements are not met. No other religion is so demanding of respect while doing so little to earn it.

Rather than great humanitarian accomplishment or true peace, Islam appears to breed arrogance and self-absorption: the collective petulance, narcissism and perpetual grievance that broadly characterizes Muslim populations. Hinduism has very little in common with Western religion, for example, yet Hindus generally assimilate and contribute positively to host countries while Muslim migration is accompanied by social strain and a net budgetary loss.

It is hard to deny Islam's remarkable unwillingness to extend equal moral consideration to those outside of the faith. More innocent lives were snuffed out in just two hours by devout Muslims on 9/11 than by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire 145-year history (source), yet, there was never one massed protest against Osama bin Laden in the entire Muslim world (many actually condemned his k*****g). No matter how atrocious the act perpetrated in the name of Allah, it is always followed by rhetorical distraction and claims of victimization.

Should we be surprised to find that this disregard for others is rooted in the s*********t ideology of the Quran and Sharia? These texts unashamedly draw the sharpest distinction between those within the group of believers and those outside - toward whom arbitrary denigration is cast and hatred, harsh treatment and eternal punishment is prescribed. It isn't the victims who need lessons in tolerance and understanding - it is the Islamic world.

Islam is more than just a different sort of religion. It is a rigid political and cultural system with a mandate to conquer and govern the lives of others via necessary force "until religion is only for Allah." The enemy of this orthodoxy is not just intellectual dissent and free speech, but human freedom. The divine charter of Islam is to impose itself and thus prevent the individual from discovering a different meaning for their own lives.

Rather than make the West a "safe space" for Islam, we should be challenging Muslims to make Islam safe for the world. Until then, it is not in our interest to accommodate that which has no intention of accommodating us. Neither should we assist the expansion within our borders of a religion that is consistently incapable of building countries in which even Muslims themselves want to live.

Tolerance is a good thing, but not when we allow it to be used cynically against us by those who have no use for it once they obtain power. We need to throw out political correctness and embrace critical thinking.

The t***h is that Islam is not like other religion and it is certainly not a religion of peace. Sometimes the t***h isn't comfortable. Sometimes the t***h offends. But it is far better that we offend others with the t***h than lose our own freedom.

Wow, you're a colorful character, aren't you? What are you, a circus clown?

Since 9/11, Islamic terrorists have committed 35,258 attacks, k*****g over 200,000 people and injuring 1 and a half times that number, many of whom were Muslims.

From June 22 to 28, 2019, Islamic terrorists committed 34 attacks in 12 countries, k*****g 160 and injuring 120. 4 of these attacks were suicide bombs.

In the month of May, 2019, Muslim terrorists committed 169 attacks in 27 countries, k*****g 801 and injuring 728. 12 of these attacks were suicide bombs.
