We know their game. And that's why they're LOSING... all over the world.


What is the "right" though?


Who is the "left"?


Again, conservatives are all over the media. All over. Wouldn't silencing conservatives entail not covering conservatives, not inviting to sit down and be interviewed, not profiling them in magazines and newspapers.


I just find this whole the left is out to get conservative narrative complete nonsense.


And there are fake news websites. Shouldn't we try to stop misinformation from spreading.


We will see how enduring this conservative victory now that they can't pretend anymore and have to govern.


Already the national debt and budget deficits are gone as issues. We will see how many more they drop.

This is new to you?

Progressives do not believe in freedom, they only believe in subjugating others to their ideology and no action is out of bounds to achieve such.

So you believe that abortion is okay and that a man should be able to marry another man? Should I be able to burn the flag? Should a Muslim have the right to win the presidency?

The right on this forum is obsessed with everything the left does.

Does it really matter what college campus liberals say about Trump? Are you really offended by safe spaces? It's really not that important. I don't understand the purpose of giving so much attention to people you don't like or would never associate with.

Do I think killing a life is ok? No. The liberty of the individual is first and foremost. A life is an individual and it is one of the elements to which we are to protect when it says life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A life has a right to not be terminated by another, regardless of the others desire or position.

1. State issue.
2. Personally, I think all marriage licenses should be civil license contracts that merely exist to identify legal responsibility and ownership within the agreement.

Urinate on it if you like, it is just a piece of cloth, the ideal of this countries founding, of liberty is what matters and you will have to kill us to harm that. Better come armed.

I think that is up to the people and if the people decide they want that through the proper process of our elections, there is not much we can do. If that president though decides to violate the principals of this country, they should be impeached. That is, a president who thinks Sharia law should be the law of the land is incompatible with this country, just as a socialist/communist is as they can not implement their ideology without violating the very oath they make.

Actually I think Liberalism is winning over Conservatism. This is because people do not know their history.

They are ok with the growing dependence on government to supply a daily paycheck.

What they fail to realize, is that when you become dependent upon the government you expanded the power they have over your life.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Every day you become more dependent on the government to support your daily needs we shift from "Power of the People" to power of the Federal Government.

Historically that has been demonstrated to have sad consequences due to HUMAN NATURE.


But people aren't paying attention, and you can't reason with them. They are blind.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with that right?

Stories I agree with = Real News
Stories I don't agree with = Fake News

It's a slippery slope.
Except positive doesn't equal real and negative doesnt equals fake.

There is no climate change hoax, the grenhouse effect is a scientific fact, our man made pollutants cause that effect. I think you are referring to the fact that some data showing the effect or how severe the effect is currently have been altered in order to drive up a sense of urgency, but it didn't mean that science behind climate change is not real.
Contrast that to the picture of buses loaded with paid protesters, or charts with fake data showing that Blacks have a propensity for crime, fake child abuse rings in non existent basements, the fact that most people still believe Hillary sold uranium rights to Russia, or that she called off troops headed to Benghazi, ib have talked to people who think Hillary stated the Iraq war. That's not your side of the events that's just not true.

They're not silencing the right, they're silencing the truth and anybody who seeks it.

I've known about this issue for a while, and I'm sure many others have as well - but we never thought people would believe it to the point of voting for someone like Trump. And no, I'm not saying everyone who voted for him believed all of it, but there are a bunch of people who did. This is obviously a very serious issue, as democracy can't flourish in such an environment. Democracy succeeds when you have an educated, informed populace, as opposed to one that is deliberately lied to and led astray constantly.
So exactly what fake news got Trump elected in your opinion?
