Yes, every american is equal. But your side has a large percentage of the following
1. Non high school graduates
2. unemployed
3. non tax payers (they "take" more than they pay)
4. Illegal immigrants (or family members who are illegal)
5. LBGT/ HIV positive
6. drug users
7. Criminals and gangsters

So, it seems as though you are in good company.

Just to clarify... the people with these qualities are highly likely to vote democrat. They are a large portion of the democrat electorate. I would even classify these people as the "base" of the democrats.
Hillary won't admit this, of course. But, it's obvious that they want and need those votes to win.
I know many gay people, none of whom suffer these ills. But let's assume your facts that you didn't think needed to be backed up (Trump does show evidence, so neither do I!) are true. What does that have to do with being gay? Is there some magical connection there? An awful lot of other demographics suffer these problems too. But they aren't gay. So presumably, there is another external factor here irrelevant to who they are attracted to.

Also, what's going on with #5. LBGT/HIV positive? Was that a typo or did you intentionally include LGBT as a diagnosis. Because yes, gay people are far more likely to be gay that stragiht people. Sort of like how heterosexual conservatives are more likely to be gay than heterosexual liberals.

It's time that we used our power to take back OUR country!

Americans are standing up every day, they continue to vote for both major political parties who continue to sell them out, just like Americans want.

Until Americans get educated, they will continue to vote for this, thinking one of the two possible outcomes is preferable.

While Democrats are far more preferable than Republicans, neither party represents the interests of the vast majority of Americans. However, only Republicans are truly contemptuous of the middle class. Why white American middle class voters continue to vote for them is a direct result of the Dumbing Down of America.

You
chose to bring up the 'Iran hostages', I merely brought up one of Ronnie's far less than shining moments. Just what is it that makes you wrongly believe only you are entitled to comment on Reagan here? And, just what is it that makes you believe telling the unvarnished truth is a "cheap shot"?

And I'll ask once again: Just WHAT is your definition of the "Real Americans" you refer to in your thread title?

I guess asking you to factually support your 7 'points' in post #118 would be asking too much, right?

that is the problem with Americans, they still think that the USA is a democracy, when in fact it is supposed to be a Republic.

only elections are supposed to be democratic in nature, all the rest is part of a Republic.

Its no secret that gays account for a high % of HIV/AIDS. There is a direct relationship.

When the temperature goes up during the day, I conclude that the sun has a "direct" impact on temps. My theory is also based on the temperatures dropping at night when the sun goes down.

The list was not in any specific order, so get off it. Stop putting words and meanings in other people's mouths.

As Ronnie used to say, "Well, there he goes again", this time with the "your side". That's your problem. You worry too much about one side VERSUS the other side.

The 7 points in post 118 are accurate. they are so accurate that you can't refute them. Anyone who pays attention to American politics/elections knows these things to be true. If people want to vote or democrats then they can. But, at least you need to be aware that your party supports (and is supported at the ballot box by) those groups of people.

Sure, but to call it a Republic would be to disregard reality at this point.
The states are nothing more than provinces, administrative districts.
In short, the republic was democratically overturned.
We don't even have true democracy, we have a re-presentation,
so that we can only change things by RE-presenting ourselves.
Then the re-presentatives decide for us.
