An observation that includes a racial component- imagine that!!

I'll bet he also doesn't want criminals in charge of law enforcement.

I wouldn't mind seeing his tax returns but whatever is on them would have zero impact on my vote. If you believe that the opposition to Mr. Trump has not already seen his tax returns ( can you say Lois Lerner, etc etc?) , you and I have a very different perception of how this country operates.

Hmmm- it seemed to me he asked this" But let's say it is a fact that Russia hacked the DNC, the released emails were 100% authentic, unedited emails. So the American voter was treated to factual information. Do you have a problem with that? " Are you unable/unwilling to answer that question? Do you believe this is the only election that Russia has tried to hack servers?

Translation- The voters found out things about Mrs. Clinton and the Democrats that they otherwise might not have found out and thereby changed their vote. If full disclosure is always the goal, how the disclosure was obtained becomes less important. Sort of like the short taping of Romney regarding the 49%?

Didnt say anything about the average poster on this site. Was speaking about the general population. But you certainly have a right to your opinion. Is beginning a post with LOL a type of condescension?

My complaint is not about who is smarter but rather who always has to state, in some way, shape or form, that they are smarter and my experience with the left, in general, is why I make that claim. Smarter is a relative term and there are a gazillion people smarter than me. I am of average intelligence and am fairly opinionated but I do my best to avoid the condescension route unless I use it to illustrate condescension by a lefty.

Do you think you are smarter and more reasonable, Westend?

Really? How could a Mensa member lose support?

I dont think the Dems believe any of this. But they are getting lots of miles out of it and thats all they really want.

Precisely that. I am very conversant with socialism and do not want to be near it.

I am kind of confused. Big Girl insists that more of these type attacks are perpetrated by White Nationalists. At the same time, it appears as though the majority of the attacks are prefaced with the stated words " allua Akbar". Based on Big Girls claim, this would suggest that the White Nationalists worship someone other than the God that most of us worship. Hopefully Big Girl will come on here and clarify.

The dictionary I just consulted says: a person who aadvocate or practices socialism. synonyms- left wing, leftist, anti-corporate, antiglobalization Now that we have the dictionary version established, your point is?

Let me ask you a pretty elementary question. If the individual who was stopped fit a particular description, why would you have a problem with someone who does not fit the description not being stopped?

They think you should be inclusive/tolerant in a manner that meets their standards but don't feel that the same standards apply to them because they can see "the big picture" so much better than you can. It is you that needs supervision and only "they" who have the intellect and are sufficiently insightful and objective to supervise.

From my perspective, one of the larger problems with the left is its sincere belief that they are smarter, more reasonable, more objective, yada yada yada. And it defines compassion as whoever will provide the most taxpayer money to the needy regardless of how inefficient those methods are. This dismissive condescending attitude, rather than being helpful, has been proven ( at all polls) to be counterproductive.

You must remember, making racial assumptions is acceptable if the one assuming is on the left.

The left doesn't care if anything legally comes of this. They are getting big mileage out of the day to day headlines in the papers and the discussions on TV. They better hope it works better than " you are a racist- you are a homophobe- you are deplorable -you don't care about the poor- you don't care about the environment"

Perhaps you would like to discuss these facts: The Repubs won last night in Georgia and South Carolina. They have a majority in the House, the Senate, and Governors seats. They also have a plurality in state legislatures. Do you think there is a message there?

They just don't get it. The enlightened are not nearly as enlightened as they believe.

Sorry, but regulating compensation is a very slippery slope. Once again, the markets know far in determining appropriate compensation levels than the government. I dont like the price I have to pay to see Major League baseball, NFL, and NBA. I insist that the government decide if Steph Curry earning 205 million is improper.
