See, you think everything is about money.

I'm not talking about who financed those projects and programs, I'm talking about who -- in most cases -- made them happen. And that is the overriding issue in American politics today. Republicans like to tell us all the things that we just can't do anymore. Democrats still think we can do the things mentioned above. Under Republicans we crumble, just like the infrastructure.

Generally speaking, conservatives belong to the Republican Party. Please don't try to tell me that's not true.

As far as Trump goes -- y'all created him, now deal with him.

The Iraq war was just the catalyst that awakened me to the GOP's sad, self-inflicted decline. A decline that's accelerating as we speak.

When you referred to me rather than the subject of the thread in your previous post, that's exactly what you did. Maybe subconsciously.

That's a pretty common behavioral flaw of authoritarians, though. They always think everything is about them.
Interesting reading here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-...thoritarianism

Right-wing authoritarians are people who have a high degree of willingness to submit to authorities they perceive as established and legitimate, who adhere to societal conventions and norms, and who are hostile and punitive in their attitudes towards people who don't adhere to them. They value uniformity and are in favour of using group authority, including coercion, to achieve it.

Perhaps I have you pegged wrong. If I do, my apologies. But after reading the wording in your post #196, I just don't believe you.

Not to mention post # 238.

I would reword that slightly. Yes, the GOP, in general, doesn't care about the environment. But it's not their intent to destroy it, it's just that they don't care if they do while they're making money.

Yes - being here in Canada where a liberal party controls our primary province and city...Liberals are all about tossing as much money at everyone in order to stay in power...they push us further and further into debt and in reality enslave the population....money is NOT about spending all you have - but to spend and conserve...hence conservatism.

Well maybe you can look a little further at my posting history and you can see where I've said many times that I would eagerly vote for Hillary over Trump and that I consider Trump a complete joke of a candidate.

Here's an example..

If you held a gun to my head and I had to pick a side, I lean more to the right. But I do not consider myself a conservative and have not for some time. I'm an independent who voted for Obama once Palin was chosen as the VP pick.

I'm an atheist so I'm certainly not going to be swayed by the religious right and I probably lean more on the liberal side of things when it comes to gun control.

The aspects of liberalism that I can't stand are political correctness, race baiting, identity politics, illegal immigration laws not being enforced, climate change alarmism and liberal suppression of free speech at political rallies and on college campuses.

The aspects of conservatism that I don't agree with are the military conflicts in the middle east which end up creating more blowback and more terrorism, the inflexibility over gun control and above all the utter LACK of an ability to judge character or competence by advancing people like Sarah Palin or Donald Trump as candidates for the party

Then the opposite is true. The DNC doesn't care if people have jobs or money so long as they can sleep at night because they passed another 7,000 regulations while you type your reply.

I mean, its not the intent of democrats to destroy the economy. That's just the side effect of going green.
