  1. Paging UT Alum- after reading the above, do you still think that there is no deep state and that Trump is the criminal?

  3. For the umpteenth time, simply tell us where you get your objective and unbiased news. Help all of we peons to become enlightened. Seems like the "compassionate" thing to do ( note the social issue which is where you lean heavily left)
  4. so typical- if you believe that Fox news is such a biased news source, simply tell us where the "enlightened" get their non biased news. Do you think that CNN and MSNBC did a good job in reporting the Covington Catholic school story or Jussie Smollett.? Do tell, show us by example how to get real news without an agenda behind it. If all you can say is LOL or her we go or Corndog, there will be no surprise.
  5. ahh yes, the default position - blame fox news- last time you were on this board you claimed the BBC was a great source for unbiased news. Exactly where do you get YOUR news and what makes it possible for you to be totally unbiased? Just an FYI- most of my politics is economic related and I don't need a news source to help me arrive at my conclusions.
  6. Is it illegal or immoral for a rich person to become richer? If a rich person finds a way to get richer, it usually involves money in motion and there are plenty of people who will participate in and benefit from that money in motion. They do not get richer by hoarding their money. Putting a ceiling on how rich one can be is counterproductive and taxing the rich at a very high rate will only discourage them from putting their monies in motion. We do not need the government deciding what should be done with individual wealth. Cuba, Venezuela, and Greece are all documented evidence of what happens when a "benevolent" government creates methods to redistribute from the rich to the poor.

  8. Yawn definition- When I cant come up with a good answer but need to maintain my self perceived position of intellectual superiority
  9. Do you mean they are Gestapo wannabes?
  10. It seems to me the easiest way to find out is to ask someone who has so much more intellectual fire power than we mere mortals. Come on, give me the enlightened point of view.,
  11. Can you explain to me why the left seems overly concerned about foreign interference in our elections but, at the same time, wants illegals to be able to vote?
  12. But our opinion doesn't matter because we are white male republicans. Verystable and AOC is where the "truth" can be found.( I think that is also what the Clinton camp believed)
  13. My first statement was regarding equality/similarity of treatment for Muslims and Christians. How does that imply religious superiority for either?
  14. You are very wise not to make assumptions in this case. What have I ever said that would make you concerned that I believe there is only one legitimate religion?
  15. Since repubs, in your mind are excluded, from whence does creativity in free thought emanate?
  16. Do you support the following statement? " I am for giving Muslims the same rights in this country that they give to Christians in their home countries."
  17. Translation- when the facts go against my crowd, I simply state that others are unnworthy of consideration
  18. CRITICAL LIFE LESSON . "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?".. There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime. In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?" The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke. "You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free food". "When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence". "They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side". "The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd". "Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity." The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America . The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs, etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time as the government forces us to participate in many of these programs whether or not we want to. One should always remember two truths: There is no such thing as a free lunch, and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. If you see that all of this wonderful government "help" is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America, you might want to share this with your friends. God help us all when the gate slams shut! Quote for today: "The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those that vote for a living."
  19. or maybe "socialism doesn't work" ? Nah, cant be that. Here are a few "tidbits" to help understand how "free stuff" is paid for Country Income Tax VAT Tax Gallon of gas with tax Germany 47% 19% $6.04 England 47% 20% $6.10 Italy 45% 22% $6.84 Greece 65% 24% $6,83
  20. If the end is so near, why worry about things like global warming/cooling/climate change?
  21. Only the "unenlightened" believe that
  22. I dont care if a court made them or not. The point is, they made a lot of money and were able to pay the damages without taxpayer assistance.
