Then why do we need fake conservatives complaining for them with all the "how about the working poor" comments?

PS I do not have to imagine paying taxes, when I have been paying them all my life. Having worked in Europe for many years I am quite happy with the US taxes.

Old Joe should have taken care of business and we wouldn't be in this shape today. Commies running wild in our government and stealing everything they can get their hands on. Just read the news.

The question was "why" we separated.

Wouldn't you rather pay for contraception than pay for a child who isn't wanted. Who do you think pays for foster care for these kids until they are 18. Some of you have tunnel vision and don't think ahead. You are only hurting yourself and don't even know it lol

Because of taxation without representation. We wanted representation.

Get rid of the idiots in Congress who voted to abolish ObamaCare 40, or so, times, yet we still have ObamaCare. People who insist upon voting for such Congress people in November are nothing but idiots as well.

I still want to know who determines what is and is not "American".

So if I do not like baseball is that anti american?

So if I do not believe in Censorship is that anti-American?


Let me fill everyone in on something: America is a great nation with many flaws and our culture is not right for everyone on the planet. Some like it others do not.
America is not exceptional, we are should not be nation building and trying to spread our "way of life" around the globe. Our way of life maybe good for some but not all.

Round 'em up, ship 'em to Cuba. In a few months they'll return as moderates.
