Another word salad (tossed). Alas. Conservatism suffers from a lack of clear language, at least since the demise of William F. Buckley. His command of English was commendable; the only problem was that none of his ideas were post middle ages. Craig, you may disagree with me, and that's OK, but at least you know what I'm saying that you don't buy. Look, this isn't the best time to fight over political philosophy. Why don't we call a truce 'til it looks a little better for our having a future to disagree about? Bill, this is a bit disappointing to me, but I quoted the your whole thought because I can see the humor in it too. I can say with a hundred percent certainty, I am not at war with you, we've never met right? What I am pretty certatin about is that emotion and repetition is not policy, and that I chose to respond to the ideology and tone that you portrait, not you personally. It's also a bit disappointing that you seem to be moping around that the sky is falling. Just change your mind and be determined that the future is bright, and don't peddle in misery. Where have you heard things like that before? Now for the funny part, who's having a little identity crisis? Party aside, can't all of humanity get a little laugh out of watching ten random minutes of joe? The last time his keepers gave him a little slack, he coughed into his hand right in the direction of some gal. You gotta admit, since he doesn't stumble around in reality, it's a complete knee slapper, eh? Anyway, I think you'll be glad to know, I buried myself to the axles in some of your gumbo yesterday. My misery is your laugh for the day?

Bill, lets look instead at what democrats will do to benefit me
*pack the courts with progressives that will interpret the constitution to mean whatever they want it to mean - translation - nothing, and Pelosi will be free to shred it like the state of the union speech, and the bill of rights will become the bill of whatever democrats think you can have *open the borders to anyone that wants in, overloading all government systems and creating chaos *enact their climate/greendeal policies, effectively destroying this country economically
there's more, but I think the small list above is plenty
So, as far as Trump goes, if all he does is block democrats from enacting their wishlist and appoint justices that will uphold the constitution, he has my gratitude and support
As far as him being devisive and tearing this country apart, Obama started all that, Trump is just fighting for the other side, maybe its time for the democrats to try getting along
who you've been ain't who you've got to be

Ted, your seeing eye dog will be available soon. Thanks to the Democrats, it won't cost you anything. Please treat it well; it's not the dog's fault it came to you from the socialist party.

Tim, you really need to open your eyes. Try looking at other news/opinion sources. You've swallowed a bill of goods, but you don't sound stupid. Look around. PS: As a working class guy, what is your objection to unions? In my career, unions saved my life. They enabled me to have health insurance that kept me from a choice between dying or being destitute.

I can see it now, can I dig in your trash for some scraps of food and a mahogany best maker percussion rifle case? No! Go away, I don't like your sort unless you can fill a bus full of buddies that'll same day voter register in exchange for a pack of keto tofu jerky, eh?

You are on a gun board, Bill-I have a smelling nose dog, that I bought, who would bite a Democrat that tried to get some of her food to redistribute. I love and emulate that part of dogs. Watch your fingers. Best, Ted

Bill, I didn't swallow anything, in fact, I leaned democrat until my late twenties, a misfortune from growing up in Pittsburgh. Two union jobs opened my eyes to what they are all about. When Howard Metzenbaum and the democrats started pushing gun control, I began looking at the democratic party a lot more critically.
I don't watch TV, if I listen to the radio, I listen to WSM online, I get all my news online. Breitbart, The Stream, American Thinker, Lifezette, American Conservative, The Hill, The Week, Guardian, Real Clear Politics, and some Christian websites. I get the news from both sides, yes, there's bias on the conservative side, but the liberal side is at best biased. At their worst, they're flat out liars, most of the time though, their biggest fault is leaving out any and all information that doesn't advance their agenda.
You remind me of my late mother, she would watch CNN and complain about republicans. I would show her the other side of the story, or things she never heard about, and it changed her thinking, but she would never admit it, all I ever got out of her was "they're all no good", she didn't want to believe it. Sorry, but I know better than to buy what democrats are selling.

May God bless America and those who defend her.

The party of your choice has no clue how ordinary people live. Trump's great talent is that he understands how to make these people angry, and he knows how to make them scared, but he has no idea how to make them whole. Really nice of Billy to keep coming back to show us that he is a brainless Liberal Left Democrat Sock Puppet. Does anyone notice that he never mentions that multiple terms of office held by Democrat Presidents and Democrat Congressional majorities have failed to deliver these millions of poor wretched souls from misery and poverty? Trillions have been spent on taxpayer subsidized housing, food assistance, education, and Democrat Sheep like Billy keep believing the bullshit. Tom in PA's experience, starting life as a registered Democrat, kind of mirrors my own. Like Tom, I didn't take long to notice that the Democrats promises were empty. I quickly noticed that the Democrats did not want me to keep my 2nd Amendment Rights. I saw that they no longer represented the interests of working men, but instead used my earnings to court the non-working and illegals. What's more, I worked several Union jobs, but understood that the Union never paid me a dime or gave me my health insurance. That money came from corporate profits, and when profit didn't happen, no Union Contract was going to save us. When push came to shove, I saw how my wonderful Union reps and leadership screwed our eyes out, and helped only themselves as our jobs went to low wage countries under insane Foreign Trade Agreements. Donald Trump has reversed a lot of that damage, and created a climate where the working man could make a living without being a government dependant. Obama created a record number of Welfare and Food Stamp recipients, while Trump was creating taxpayers. After 40 years of getting hammered, we were coming back very strong, until this coronavirus pandemic hit. When we come out of this, I want to see Corporations and employers alive and well, because I am not a brainless idiot like Billy, who thinks that wealth and prosperity come from a printing press and from more empty Democrat promises.
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

This is rich, Bill. Wasnt it just a couple weeks ago you declared you got all your news from essentially only PBS? Along with just enough Fox to know they were liars? All you do when you post here is prove our confirmation bias...That leftists like yourself will say anything, use any tragedy, slander any person as long as you believe it to be advancing your agenda. Youd make more progress if you never posted another line of type.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
