Obama taught me one more thing. The so called checks and balances in the Constitution are no guarantee to keep the president in line. Constitution is a piece of paper. Somebody has to enforce it. Who has gone after Obama for his wanton disregard for the Constitution?

Only two possibilities here. It's all a huge prank to gin up attention for another television show or he's a plant for the Democrats to derail the Republican bid for the presidency.

"I love Muslims."

"I love Mexicans, they're great people."

"I honor our veterans."

He's going down the list at a pretty fast rate. Is there anyone he hasn't insulted yet?

Or all these side-tracking tactics are to smoke screen the real issue of illegal immigrants.

I really don't care about most of the attacks on Trump but if the candidates do not do something about illegals nothing else is going to matter because there will not be a country left to save.

The way I see it, there are only 4 candidates that are talking about what really matters. Trump, Huckabee, Carly, and Carson. I really don't know about Walker?

Rubio and Bush are too soft on the illegals.

I have too many doubts about Christie.

Cruz was born in Canada.
Ron Paul, Kasich, and a couple of the others are too liberal. Trump is too liberal for me too but sometimes when an issue is important, you have to make allowances. We can't have everything the way we want it.

Los Vegas would be placing bets on whether he calls her 'stupid' or 'ugly' first following up the next day with a "I cherish women" or "I think Hillary is beautiful."

I don't find that surprising. I also agree with you. I was just saying that your position is not the norm in conservative circles.

So, in what way do you think Obama, a former Constitutional professor, abandoned it?

Reagan issued twice as many executive orders to get done what he needed to with an uncooperative Congress. That's just what leaders do.

But who does like terrorists?!? Obama's been successfully hunting them down for six years through our military and CIA.

Honestly, many conservatives think Muslims don't belong here. They think they're trying to implement Sharia law. They think they're all violent.

They haven't lived with them like we have so it's just a lack of exposure, but the anti-Muslim sentiment is very strong in conservative circles.

Every day I think I've heard the most ignorant statement ever from some left wing nut job, I look forward to one of you not letting me down tomorrow.
