Best Posts in Thread: Donald Trump

Honestly this whole election is a joke. I would much rather have Trump than Hilary lol.

Bernie Sanders is a complete fool.

 

We're in safe hands. Carson knows his stuff!

 

Also to you people claiming that "Why is one party in the US obsessed by God right now?" and "Why does Fox news deny climate change?" etc.

I'm curious as to what you're arguing against. As a self-identified conservative (at least socially) does this mean all my values necessarily align with those of Fox news, Rush Limbaugh, or the gun-toting Texan hillbilly? It gets me SO ANGRY when people *this kid in lunch today* say "I met a republican who said that America should be all white. That's YOUR party. You're not even white. Hypocrite."

I identify as Republican because the majority of my values identify with most of the "Republican" ideals. Does this mean I agree with EVERYTHING from EVERY Republican candidate? No, it means that I agree with MOST Republican/conservative--whatever--ideals. Honestly, I find many Republicans to be uneducated, loud, and obnoxious--this could just be my experience growing up in Texas, but I still agree with their values.

For example, I definitely acknowlege climate change is occuring right now, and that humans cause it. While this fact is underreported in Fox news, I can find plenty other evidence that this is happening.

If you think about it, what exactly is the POINT of a two-party system? We're just picking from the lesser of two evils here. The words "Republican" or "conservative" can mean a plethora of different things, and connote a variety of different implications, depending on whose ears the word falls on. In my opinion, to say "I'm a Republican" or "I'm a Democrat" means a lot less than "I identify with XXXXX and YYYYY positions, and we should try our best to get that done whether that crosses party lines or not."

 

If you could NOT post bullshit like this to make conservatives look like idiots [which is what this is] that would be appreciated.

1) Liberalism =/= Communism. What was meant was that [Marxist] Communism believes in traditional family values, hard work, individual liberties, strong national defense, personal responsibility, and the ability of a given person do do what's right. Sound a lot like Conservatism? It actually does. Communism differs from Conservatism in its implementation, that is how these values enter society. Conservatives believe that it's each individual's responsibility to exemplify each of these requirements, and if not, too bad for the country, because it's their right to do whatever the hell they want. On the other hand, Communists (at least Marxists) believe that these values should be implemented under the watch of an all-powerful dictator who introduces policies so as to better acheive these values. The reason why Communism will never work is because these dictators inherently are corrupt because of human nature, and that each person under the dictator falsifies data--an environment perfect for power abuse and corruption.

 

Where did I say we should be exactly like them? I'm saying maybe they have some things right. Why would you blindly look at age being inherently right? Only an idiot would do that. Clearly not much is working in the Middle East, and clearly it's no where near suitable for our society. Why would I even try to imply something as idiotic as that?

You republicans do that, you're reply is quintessential Fox News.

 

I think I'll drop out of this "debate" and sit and watch with Monkey. *passes popcorn to monkey alex*

 

Ahh, the good ole days when Presidents lied to go to war, and Vice President's shot people in the face.

Murica.

 

Do you even understand international politics? One country don't have all the power in that form, the us is used to pushing everyone else around as much as they want, but their power and influence has weakened so that as an example, dosen't really have more power than the EU, if the EU wants one thing in a negotiation, and the US want something else, the EU will not just blindly accept whatever the US throws at them, they will both try to push it as far in their direction as they can, and then make a sort of compromise. Often nations agree that they can do that thing like nation x wants, and another the way nation y wants.

And how is China responsible for weakening your echonomy? That their products now cost more than before? That they try to make Chinas echonomy better and may sacrifice some of the things that others used to earn more money off of their country? Nations all have one common priority, to make things better for themselves, of course helping others is important too to a certain degree, but in what way does China choosing slightly better living standards in the US over slightly better living standards in China make sense?
