Do all you people who really believe that hugs cure everything want what happened to Paris & Nice to happen in this country?
You do realize about 1% of people in American (3.3 million) are Muslim, right? The vast majority of them aren't radicals. IMO zealots of all stripes should be a cause of concern. But kicking the hornet's nest over and over in an area of the world that has been fighting each other for over 2,000 years isn't the answer. It just makes more who want to sting you.

That'd be the Gary Johnson-William Weld ticket. Both have great track records. It's the socially tolerant-fiscally conservative (lower taxes, more jobs, balanced budgets, etc.) ticket.

Actually I quite like his unpolished honesty, but I dislike the intolerance coming from that side and the economic policy. I also think his build a wall and deport 11 million illegals is unrealistic and is going to be expensive.

But mostly his tariffs plan, which in practice is just going to function like a big tax on you and me. It'll probably throw us into another recession too.

With Hillary it's bureaucracy as usual picking your pocket (which people are sick of) and with Trump it's big business in your bedroom (great if you happen to be big business, but not if you're someone who needs to work a 9 to 5, a woman, gay, nonreligious, or a minority).

Also I'm pretty sure Trump's logo is a thinly veiled insult that he's going to a** eff America.

Here's the logo: http://66.media.tumblr.com/c7dd43101...qxggo1_500.gif

America could use a real, bold leader, but probably not Trump. Closest we're getting this time around is the Gary Johnson-William Weld ticket. At least with them you'll get to keep your guns, taxes will be low, and you'll have a job.

This one's time-line stopped fifty years ago for sure. Accusing a government official of being a "Communist" hasn't been effective since the days of Barry Goldwater running for POTUS and the House Un-American Activities Committee harassing Vietnam War protestors with the help of J Edgar Hoover.

ROFLMAO! I just love the fantasies that posters spin about the Libertarian Party ... and its candidates. Legalizing all drugs and removing all financial, environmental, consumer, and civil rights protections will definitely make the US a much safer and nicer place to live. Somalia on steroids.

Are your bags packed and are you ready to go? Or is it time for others to colonize a post war wasteland?

Personally I wouldn't look at the party I'd look at the men in question. Both have excellent track records. They seem like old-school republicans that are socially more liberal. Weld was re-elected by the largest margin in Massachusetts' history. Johnson left NM with a $1 billion budget surplus after cutting taxes 14 times so you know he can get things done. He's a bit of a bad ass as a person as he climbed Mount Everest & all 7 Summits, did Ironman, and even built his own house.

Cool Making America Great Again...!

I offer this alternative.

It just has a certain "ring" to it.

How is that going to solve the problem? I'm not sure if you KNOW - but we've been bombing the ME for years now.

It's no longer the plan to have ISIS member come to the caliphate - the plan is to have them carry out terror attacks WHERE THEY ARE. Where they are is everywhere. They need only an internet connection.
Now what?

That is the fantasy they have going. Backed when only white men ruled.

Yeah; cannot get on board with that platform.

My bags are not packed. I am not ready to go. Me wanting a place colonized shouldn't automatically mean that I'm the colonizer. I see it as, that's why we pay the military - they get a paycheck for going over.

And I did include the other preferred option, that the USA stays out entirely. It's the 1/2 hearted attempts both ways that seem to create trouble.
