For someone who apparently is describing themselves as a philosopher, I find a great many of your threads to be entirely superficial.

Exactly. Another faux-intellectual from the alt-right ecosphere.

Or worked how? Gun ownership has actually gone up recently, most Americans still believe in a god, and liberty, assuming we define this as some degree of autonomy and political freedom, is mostly in tact and those who aren't using it are doing so not because of state tyranny, despite being the greatest perceived threat to liberty, but choosing not to use it mostly due to social forces, like the media.

If Trump can deliver on half of what he claimed during the campaign America will be a better place.

Imagine if he can clamp down at the border and slow the flow of drugs and stop the violent human trafficking that goes on down there. I could never understand how the "humanitarian" Obama could allow the horrors to happen at the border while looking the other way? He actually encouraged people to risk their lives?
Create some jobs. Stop wasting time and money on trying to buy the friendship of the Middle East. Clean up the crime ridden cities. Restore law and order to America. Trump can do these things.

For those who Love America we are feeling very Patriotic today.

Slavery in the USA increased under Obama. That is statistical FACT.

Do you even understand the meaning of slavery?

And please do post your "statistical FACT" along with its source.

HINT: Paying taxes is the cost of living in a society with needs such as defending itself, NOT slavery.

The last sentence is a sign of **** argument (using the language intentionally; bad is too soft a word). You assume agreement. Intelligent arguments don't rely on that.

As for the Obama immigration issue, when a large sum of employers use illegal immigrants for cheap labor, and these same corporations that lobby in government, defended by the neoliberal argument that to restrict their power in doing this is an assault on freedom and capitalism, is it really any surprise the position he took? Obama wanted to do good but he was young (by presidential standards) and naive; he lacked political experience and was simply unprepared to do anything about what was happening... so he ended up doing very little. The one area he excels in is communication and despite the Breitbart reader's inability to ever acknowledge something good about a man they're told not to like, his words may very well reflect what he truly believes as that's the only usable weapon he has. In case you missed it, in his final address, he basically said that people whining about 'checking your privilege' are stupid which seems pretty contrary to what the Breitbart readers seem to think he believes.
