  1. Obviously, it does not fit the narrative by virtue of that fact. Do you think that cities named Lynchburg should change their names?
  2. A Biker is sitting on his Harley, drinking a beer, by the Zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, “Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life. The Harley rider replies, “Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.” The reporter says, “Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?” The biker replies "I'm a U.S. Marine, a Republican and I’m voting for Trump. "The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: “U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT & STEALS HIS LUNCH” And THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days!
  3. So you are suggesting that the problem is primarily a geographical one? Can you explain to me why cities who have many people defacating in the streets all have democratic administrations?
  4. But you can let them get comfortable with looting, rioting, and destroying businesses and livelihoods for hundreds of thousands of people who spent a life time developing them. Sorry, but the "cause" is not that noble.
  5. My guess is that this was no accident and a certain party ( backed by the associates) is fully involved. Imagine that if we found this one in Florida, how many more are there around the country?
  6. Moderna Corp announced this morning some very favorable results regarding antibodies for the corona virus. The tests were done on a relatively small group and more testing will be needed. I am suggesting that if more positivity comes about from additional testing, the left and the mainstream media ( actually one in the same) will initiate a campaign to either discredit the drug or plant the seed of doubt in peoples minds about its safety and efficacy. It will be no different than the hydroxychloriquine study. They discredited it and made people think that they could die from it and it had no impact on the virus. The drug has been around 50 years, is cheap and obviously pretty safe or would not be around that long. Even CNN recently indicated that the drug was an effective treatment when used properly and at the right time.
  7. just found this: On October 17, 2016, he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI regarding an investigation into the source of leaked classified information; He had been scheduled to be sentenced on January 31, 2017, but was pardoned and had his security clearance restored by President Barack Obama on January 17, 2017.
  8. I have no idea. Point is, some get concerned only when it happens under Trump. Obama gave 1927 pardons and commutations over an 8 year term. I am pretty sure Mr. Trump cant catch him if he serves four terms. Nobody ever said a word about the Obama efforts.
  9. January 17, 2017. During his 4th to last day in office, Obama pardoned James Cartwright, who was awaiting sentencing for giving false statements to federal investigators, and Willie McCovey was pardoned for tax evasion.
  10. These socialistic leanings might interest you: Germany has a 47.4% income tax, a `9% VAT tax and gasoline is 6.04 per gallon. England has a 47% income tax, a 20% VAT tax and gasoline is $6.10 per gallon Italy has a 45.8% income tax, a 22% VAT tax and gasoline is $6.84 per gallon Greece has a 65% Income tax, a 24% VAT tax and gasoline is $6.83 per gallon
  11. My point to you is that there is plenty of "balance" already in this country and the last thing we need is more government intrusion into our lives and the costs that are attendant with the same. Meritocracy is more productive than central planning. We do not need more Solyndras or more government involvement in businesses. Businesses can reinvest their profits and provide more jobs than some bloated bureaucracy can. So we might be headed back for slavery? How so?
  12. No I dont think that is a good idea. It is an example of the "balance" you demand.
  13. If you are so confident that a completely capitalistic nation is a failure, I would like to see an example rather than your personal perception. If balance is needed, are you suggesting that there is no balance now? If there is no balance now, what is needed to achieve more "balance"?
  14. Would you care to compose a list of capitalism failures and socialism/communist failures and see which list is considerably longer? In what countries are minorities experiencing a better life than they are in the United States? ( Hint- everyone trying to get into this country is not because it is a bad place) If you do not condone rioting and looting, why would you tell me that in order to be respected to you, I must talk about that "fairly"? Is there anything fair/justifiable in rioting and looting? ( Sorry, but I don't believe that the "cause is so noble that anything goes") Was Ferguson, MIssouri a case of police brutality or a case of certain folks trying to advance an agenda with faulty information? I would also suggest you needn't lecture me(via poorly veiled condescension) on my ability to grasp concepts.
