No, I'm not a far leftist, I'm center left. I think you must be some sort of hardcore right winger if you think the way you do.

And fracking is terrible for the environment so it's reasonable to be against it.

No, Trump wants an outlet that doesn't look to twist the facts at every turn. They can't stand the guy and that's why he won in the first place, to give the middle finger to CNN and its followers.

Exactly. I thought that everyone, or at least everyone slightly informed about the parties, knew this history. It was never the party names but the ideologies behind the parties.

YAY! Now let's get rid of the rest of them. Also any monuments to Nazis. They're all of a kind.

Also let us PLEASE get Jackson off the $20 bill. Just moving him to the back may be ironic, but not sufficient.

Cuomo moderate? Lol Do you ever listen to him talk? He literally once said that conservatives should leave NY. That's moderate? He passed some of the worst gun laws in the nation, and admitted he wanted full confiscation. That's moderate?

Cuomo is a totalitarian leftist, the worst of the worst. If he died today I'd throw a party lasting the rest of the weekend.

We allow fracking in PA. It is regulated, safe, and providing lots of jobs, and tax revenue. Our very liberal/progressive Governor is on board with it, and is in bed with the "Greenies". We are piping the natural gas to our Philly ports to be liquefied, and exported, providing more jobs, and revenue. Meanwhile upstate NY continues to be an economic DISASTER.

Go ahead, continue to worry about Confederate Statues, not jobs, domestic energy, and the economy. NYC "center left" means far left to most of the rest of the country. You can't see it because you live in that bubble.

Why did they switch? Who are they? Who changed the definitions?

Enlighten us on this drastic change in ideology.

Or was it really a power grab?

Btw, people have been protesting these statues for a long time. You need to ask yourself why just now hate groups feel more in boldend the protest them. It's because they have a racist friend in the White House.

You trump supporters need a new line of reasoning. Your making it too easy for the us.
Not a Trump supporter.

So the illustrious mayor of Baltimore has ordered some stupid statue to be removed. Meanwhile, there will about 350 murders in Baltimore this year, the vast majority of them black. And not a single victim will be gunned down by a neo-Nazi, white supremacist or other thug.

But at least the statue will be gone.

*LOL* And most of it will be black-and-black crime, but the liberals won't speak about that. There's only outrage for anything that is perceived to be racist. One guy had the audacity to say that Trump has to be removed by *any means necessary*, so I guess we're condoning removing the president by violence if necessary and that would be fine.
