The simple truth, Jim, is that Andrew is correct. I don't have a rudimentary grasp of any of the political categories that Andrew espouses. He throws out words like racist, misogynist, low brow, Cracker and others because he is completely indoctrinated and a complete waste of time to speak with because he won't hear of it. He has put up post after post droning on the same things now for a couple of years. He says, disingenuously, that he doesn't agree with conservative thinkers on most issues but by his own words in this thread and others, doesn't agree with any conservative thought because he is close-minded to any idea that conservatism is liberating and that liberalism, Statism, Communism, Socialism, Fascism and the other collective ideologies are failures when they are forced upon the free populace, either by regulation or by gunpoint. There, of course, is a long history of those failures and the millions of bodies in mass graves are just a footnote to him and others who believe those isms. He and others glibly gloss over these facts as they keep espousing the same antithetical ideologies time after time after time. There is no learning or teaching them because they are incorrigible. Still, they chest thump and pontificate for their team, such as it is, (or was). They follow their pseudo-heroes into the same dark depths marching along like lemmings to their pied pipers without ever knowing or caring that they are walking off the cliff blissfully ignorant of their own destruction, fully clothed in self-righteousness. It is the only righteousness they can stomach or muster. Philosophy? I think not. I don't wish to grasp that kind of destruction, millstones around their necks as they drown in the darkened depths of the lost. Nope, I think not.
SO far, getting back to the Trump Watch part of this thread, Trump has been impressive in the things that he has done. It's true that a slight/close minority voted for him. But 240 million Americans don't agree with the democrat party, neither did that many vote for Clinton. Every vote counts and I can see why you would include children in your numbers. But it just ain't so. We remain a divided country. Been that way for a long time.
Bob, it is the ideology you embrace that I wish to see eradicated. I am for freedom of thought. But if your thought attempts to put me on my knees or results in chains on my wrists and feet, then I will fight for my freedom. I hope I never have to. We have checks and balances in place to cool Trumps heels. Let those levers work, and quit hating on Trump. We would have had much worse with the Clintons. Be thankful.
