Yep, that was my point. Hence, the rolling eyes emoji in my post.

A Brief And Ugly History of the GOP's Anti-LGBT Platform

Just last month, the GOP officially took the most anti-gay stance in years.

Warmongering.

Bush took us into Iraq. Cruz wanted to bomb the middle east until the sand glows. Trump wants to end diplomacy with Iran and probably wants to take us to war there. And you guys voted all these leaders into office.

Want me to point out more issues that sound crazy but actually are the official GOP stances?


There you go again. How can we take you seriously if you take a caricaturized version of Obama at heart?



Funny how just right after I reminded you guys about the part in the 10 commandments where thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor, you went ahead and told another obviously false lie.

Heck, it's not even funded by tax payers.

The Obama Phone?

My question to you is are you a caricaturized version of a republican?

Gawker? Who in the hell are they?

If this is going to be your type of sources, there is NO use trying to have an HONEST discussion with you.

“I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races. I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people. And I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. … And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.” – Abraham Lincoln in his fourth debate with Stephen Douglas in the campaign for the United States Senate on September 18th of 1858.


Looks like Lincoln was wiser than people gave him credit for.

The only way people can be equal is if they each pay their own way. You can't expect one to pay for the other and both to be considered equal, geez

IT IS NOT GOVERNMENT'S JOB
- - - - - - - - - - - -
I think most Americans prefer that governments are instituted to secure ENDOWED RIGHTS (Natural Rights to life and all harmless activities in support, Natural Liberties, Personal Liberties, Absolute Ownership, Right to defend) and not governments instituted to TAKE from one to GIVE to another, even if consent was acquired by questionable means (ex: ‘voluntary’ socialism of FICA).

Those who disagree and wish to have the government steal on their behalf are a problem, since they’re domestic enemies of the American people. Tolerance of their evil is unmerciful to the next victim.

Governments which refuse to secure rights, fail to prosecute law breakers, encourage lawless invaders and support abominations, felons and thugs, are enemies of the America people who did not consent to be socialist slaves of the Collectivist Totalitarian Police State instituted by way of the inherent flaws of unrestricted democracy.

Is that what you're saying?

Because we know how to translate the sentence but we also know what he meant.
No, I'm being a grammar cop. The idiot doesn't know what he is really saying. Of course we know what he means because we aren't retarded sub-humans.

That last part may be open to debate, but I get it.
