I can't believe that conservatives base their movement on a movie premise made popular by 2 transgender people. That's rich.

The opportunity for advancement is endless, and it is only me and no one else who can decide how far I go.


Perhaps I was liberalized going in, I began to figure things out. People have to understand that 99% of the college professors are all of the BerkeleyBoulderMadison mindset. If young people look up to them in any way, they will be broken.


And then ultimately with Barack Obama, I found the way. He alone is responsible for turning we millennials rightward.

no histrionics here..def just hard science.

It almost sounds as if you are talking about Jesus Christ. You do realize that Obama is the embodiment of BerkleyboulderMadison mindset, right? He has used this ideology to profit greatly, amassing a fortune lying to the masses. And that is your savior?

All politicians lie at some point or another. That's politics. You go in one way, reality hits you in the face, and then you change your tune. And you'll feel the same way about Trump like many liberals do with Obama, guaranteed

I'm a college educated, conservative atheist. Nobody tries to ram the "invisible man" down my throat. Nor am I oppressed. You're making sh*t up. You want to vote Democrat just go ahead and do it. No need to pull the big guy or his followers into this, and certainly no need to be a lazy debater by making sweeping generalizations..............

It is SO typical of the left to take a normal fact and simply announce "You can't have that" without giving any reasons for their trying to forbid it.

These people are so transparent and futile sometimes.

Good point!
Some have suggested that the right & genuine liberals are similar - whereas Leftists have gone off the deep end of being illogically mob-like.
IE: They hypocritically protest "facism" by "forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism" - which is part of the definition of fascism.

And who do Leftist crazies call Nazis? Anybody they don't agree with!

Geez, these Hollywood elitist are a bunch of followers without a mind of their own. Or anything to get a job.
Yeah, the kissing-up/selling your soul is why I didn't follow up opportunities to get into that industry.

Leftist crazy ideologies are not just illogical, but they are immoral - essentially about
  • Demanding "rights" while refusing responsibility
    Shifting blame
    Anti-facts and all about feeling in order to justify the above BS
    Laziness - avoiding self-reflection; much easier to cry out, "hateful biggot!" as they smash faces and property for others not thinking as they do.
    Evil. Screwing up is itself not as evil as denying it and trying to make another pay, which underlies much of leftism.

Berkeley cancels Milo Yiannopoulos talk after violent protests - CNN

This reminds me of the Salem witch trials. Anyone can be accused of anything and they call for their death of innocent people.

Leftist politicians are kind of like a grossly in debt parent who spanks their kid who gets As and who does the most chores, doesn't discipline their other kid who gets Fs in school, and constantly invites the poor kids down the street over to the house to raid the fridge and track dirt into the house. Dirt which always has to be swept up by the good kid.
