It may appear that I'm blaming the president for what I consider is a false hyped economy, I'm not. I feel that if he were left alone, he could, in fact, do wonders for the nation beyond what some feel he has already accomplished. However, I feel he's being played, along with the rest of us.

There's a reason he's being allowed to do the things he's doing. It's the same ole story of the hidden agenda, beneath, what on the surface, seems a reasonable course. Plus, even if he were free to do as he wished, eight years isn't enough time to set things straight. Too much has been deliberately lost, by allowing the nation's manufacturing base to pull up and leave.

As for new businesses being started, a lemonade stand is a business. Most of these businesses being started are marginal at best. Still, every once in a while, we hear of some gigantic conglomeration wanting to locate to this or that state, and the jobs that will be created. Every state in the union goes into a frenzy, to see who can give the most away, to have it locate in their state.

By the time the dust has settled, one wonders what has been gained, plus there's no guarantee the company will stay put for any length of time. Na, it's still just feel good economics, the reality is, the American worker still has to compete with foreign labor.

Plus, the conversation has yet to discuss how the Federal Reserve fits into the scheme of things. The fed can dray up the money supply or burst open the dam. And there's the rub, the president has no control over it. If President Donald Trump knows anything, he knows the Federal Reserve, and he also knows it can be lethal to tangle with those who own it.

There's the attempt to confuse the issue of JFK's assassination with organized crime, which, by the way, the FED certainly is, and Fidel Castro's response to the Bay of Pigs, failed invasion. My money is on those who control the FED, wh**ever reason for JFK's assassination, we have yet to learn. There have also been other leaders who objected to a national bank being established in their countries who meet an untimely end. Prior to JFK, they almost got America's President, Andrew Jackson.

Why is living by the basic tenets of Christ an unlivable standard? You managed to not bake a wedding cake for homosexuals because they are unrepentant correct? So why is it you couldn't refrain from v****g for Donald Trump when he was an unrepentant serial adulterer? If you could manage to avoid baking a wedding cake for a homosexual then certainly you could avoid v****g for someone who committed adultery on every wife he ever had, correct?

I don't think the problem that it so hard to live up to the basic tenets of Christ as I think most sincere Christians can live up to at least the majority of them. I think it's because you believe you can get by, by being morally relative. I mean after all, evangelical don't think deeds matter so if it comes down to maintaining your moral center or achieving political power, political power is a no brainer for you to get into heaven deeds don't matter.

Now unfortunately I was raised believing that deeds do matter and I met any number who not only walked with Christ but walked as Christ too so I know a dev**ed Christian can follow, as I said, at least the most basic of Christs tenets. Anyway, save for the sake of argument it doesn't matter to me--it's that I do know that walking as Christ would--isn't as difficult as you Christian Conservatives make it seem.

Anyway, I'm not even a Christian and I have no problem living without an AR-15 or other guns that many find threatening to our society; nor do I shutter in terror because i*****l a***ns come to this country to work; nor am I terrified of Muslims coming into this country because the reason they are displaced is because of how we conducted war in their countries; nor am I trying to strip citizenship from DACA or stop people who are born in this country from being natural citizens. For that matter I'm not trying to strip welfare and food stamps from the needy; nor Pell grants, work study, and other scholarships from people who are needy; nor do I bristle at the thought of medicaid or other means tested types of aid going to the needy as far too many Christian Conservatives are. But of course to be the type of follower you are deeds aren't important so even though most of the positions I take align with how your savior would feel it doesn't matter because to get your ticket punched all that matters is that you believe that Christ died for your sin, correct!

You can't even spell "Reagan conservative" (maybe it's a typo). In any case, I'm curious... what do you think qualifies you as a Reagan-style conservative? As for the "millions and millions", that isn't saying much in a nation of 350 million. All I know is that McCain was one of the last remaining Reagan-style conservatives in government that still called himself a Republican. As for the populace, conservatives in general (old-school AND f*****t) have been loosing popular v**es by ever increasing margins, so that should tell you something.

for starters, he raised the rent of his security detail at trump tower till they moved outside in a trailer. His trips to mar largo he overcharges his security there.
His hotel in DC the state dept was recommending foreign diplomats stay there so trump still runs his business and is being sued for breaking the emolument clause ever other president adhered to.

As I read the responses it is a very good indication of what you Trump supporters want America to look like. I will take John McCains American over a Donald Trump White America.

As for Jeff Flake he supported 98% of the GOP agenda, if you Trump supporters ever read a piece of legislation and how Jeff Flake v**ed. You would understand who Jeff Flake is and his unwaving support to the conservative agenda. He just had a dislike for Trump and he was not a coward to expose the pathological lies of Trump.,

See Flake supported the Conservative message he just h**ed the messenger.

Life is the point. We are given but one shot at life so how we spend it is the entire point to the life we are given. In the end we all wind up as the same speck of dust so how we live our lives is the entire point of living.

You look to god and heaven as the future of man and I look to man and space as the future of man. So for each little bit I can add to that awareness is my little bit of the picture that I can paint. Eventually we will figure out how to escape this rock and the future of man can be assured. If we look to a god though for our salvation and that is what we plan for then indeed our life will be wasted and our existence without a point.

And no, unless you've managed to do what no other human has managed to do all you have is the hope that your beliefs will prove to be true. Well I think mankind unique enough that he deserves better than the hope that there is more after death. If we manage to escape this planet than individually we may not have life after death but mankind will live and be able to populate our galaxy and then other galaxies and finally the entire universe. That can only happen if man pursues rationalism and will fall apart if we follow fallacies with the false hope of individual salvation.
