Yea, and as it turned out, Clinton is the deplorable.

Liberal mentality hoping for failure is sick.
Again, why do you quote my posts and then say something that has nothing to do with what I said? By using my post dishonestly, you imply that I am hoping for failure, and I resent such a slur. Address what I said or ignore my post. Simple.

Arrogance and narcissism are not the same thing.

I get tired of people telling me that anyone who serves in the military is a hero. That if you served in any war ever, that you're a war hero. They even ramble constantly about how every single police officer is a hero. Even going so far as to say that police dogs are heroes.

Lets be honest hero, the mere act of serving in the military doesn't make you a hero. And the mere act of being a police officer doesn't make you a hero either.


The reason we worship the military and the police, is because we are told to, and attacked as unpatriotic if we don't.


Do I think McCain is a better man than Trump? I do. But that doesn't mean that I think he is a hero, nor does it mean that I want McCain to be president. I mean, I think Obama is a good man, but a terrible president.



Obama made race-relations worse during his tenure. Obama's racists in the justice department, made racial incidents, such as the Trayvon Martin affair, worse, by claiming everything was a hate-crime. In the case of Baltimore, it was a black-majority city, with a black mayor, and Obama and the other race-baiters in his administration, did everything they could to exacerbate the problem.

He should be held accountable.



Not that I agree with such a policy, but does it violate the 4th amendment? It was on the books for years and never struck down as unconstitutional.
Whether or not Trump disagrees with McCain's comments, claiming "I like soldiers who weren't captured" is the utmost disrespect. Period. I never said McCain was a war hero. I said I have far more respect for him than Trump. McCain didn't run. He served, and went through the wringer. Anyone who does that for their country has my respect.

President Obama didn't make things worse. Things were already bad. There were riots before he got in office. There were those who didn't want a Black man in office. Baltimore was a cauldron waiting to happen and the mayor, not the President, should be held responsible.

And about stop and frisk: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.8e54b6f7fc03

I don't hate him, I'm just perplexed that so many people think he's "patriotic" and "concerned about America". He is first and foremost a huckster. If you voted for him because that's what you'd rather have in office than a slimy career politician, allrighty then, but don't try to reinvent him into something he's not.
And I'm asking you why you don't consider Trump patriotic but say nothing about people who won't carry their own weight in life, people who think it's ok for government to take from other people to give to them. Do you consider people like this patriotic? Yet you're perplexed why people think Trump is patriotic?

You keep skirting around my question.

NK has been a problem long before Trump took office, but he seems to be the only one willing to address it.

What makes people like that patriotic and Trump not?

What's so patriotic about someone who condones the use of eminent domain, the taking of property from others, to be used for profit making by private enterprise?

You don't feel there was racism involved in his involvement with Obama's birth certificate, did he do the same for Romney. He has played on peoples fears regarding race, religion, crime and immigration, painting this big scary condition. His supporters lapped it up even though none of his hyperbole was supported by facts.

What on earth is wrong with you???? One thing has nothing to do with the other. Please tell me where on God's green earth you got the idea that I ever said that what you are going on about are patriotic things. NOBODY I ever met thinks people who live that way are patriotic.

If you truly have a comprehension problem, I apologize, but frankly, it looks a lot as if you are just pretending to be stupid, and I am not sure why.
