Yet conservatives have posted links on past threads showing that conservatives donate more of their time and give a higher percentage of their incomes to charity than other groups. The only counter arguments I have read are, IMO, eye rollers:

1. That the only reason the above is correct is because of tithing and church activities << (and I'm Agnostic)

2. And because they get a tax deduction .

How. They have a coded gate so they can come and go as they please. Lots of people actually pay for a privacy fence and secure gate.

Good point.

We see so many Trump cheer leaders on here, applauding every time he signs one more of his vindictive Executive Orders, and they will be laughing until they get that "OH S*** !!!!!!" moment when one of his orders affects them. There are a lot of people in for a rude awakening when they realize they have shot themselves in the foot by electing this madman.
Being a right wing conservative means closing your eyes until it finally affects you.

Well, if you actually checked out the link, it is to a video of the woman being talked about in the OP. She, a trump voter, talks about the issues herself. No media bias.

So, I'd say it's pretty accurate LOL

The problem mostly is not a fare rate-- but the one farmer lost the side that the crops were on-- left him the house--etc-- but no farmland!
Israel has done this same thing to Palestinians. They put the wall on the outside of their own border, and cut local people off from their lands.

We see so many harsh posts on here where Trump supporters are thrilled that the axe is being given to so many programs that benefited so many..........after school meals, etc.
And how are we going to pay for those social programs when we're consumed by our 20 trillion debt?
