Democratic Party Platform Takes a Hard Left Turn

Posted On 03 Jul 2016

Bernie Sanders may never be president, but his socialist fingerprints are all over the latest draft of the new Democratic Party platform. The 35-page document was drafted in St. Louis last week, and it signals a troubling, extreme left-turn for a party that is already unacceptably liberal.

If the platform were to be adopted by the next president and successfully turned into federal law, Americans would see a number of significant changes – many of which could do incalculable harm to the economy, our culture, and our foreign policy.

Among the proposals:

New regulations for the Federal Reserve that would prevent financial executives from sitting on the bank’s regional boards.

New restrictions on securities trading.

The abolition of the death penalty.

A national $15-an-hour minimum wage.

An end to corporate tax deferrals on overseas earnings.

A new law mandating 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave.

Federal election reform, aimed at ending “secret, unaccountable money in politics.”

Many of these proposals are presented in a soft, populist blanket meant to hide the insidious truth at their center: Namely, the expansion of federal power. If passed into law, this platform would represent one of the most stunning diversions from democracy this country has ever seen. Any talk of a “private sector” would begin to sound like an unfunny joke; Democrats want to turn the free market into a mere subsidiary of the federal government.

Thankfully, these platforms rarely have much to do with how the president actually behaves when in office. And since Hillary Clinton is only approving these ideas to grab Sanders supporters, she’s unlikely to feel particularly inclined to fight for them once elected. Her own liberal streak is bad enough, but she’s not an extremist like Obama and Sanders. She doesn’t care about re-imagining America; she just cares about being president.

But that is small comfort, indeed. A woman without core principles is nearly as dangerous as a radical leftist. Should she become president, her guiding light will be the polls. And – perhaps because of the Republican Party’s woeful lack of effective messaging – the American public is getting very comfortable with these socialist policies. If Hillary senses that intense liberalism will boost her approval numbers, that’s exactly what she’ll embrace.

And, as we’ve seen over the last eight years, we can’t count on Republicans to keep her in check.

Any conservative would be forgiven for having serious concerns about some of the proposals made by Donald Trump. But while Trump is fascinated by the polls, he’s not driven by them. And when it comes to conservatism, he’s sure as hell further to the right than his general election challenger.

Some of Trump’s Republican critics have suggested that it would be better for him to lose in November, allowing the party to regroup and return in 2020 with a more ideal candidate. The new Democratic Party platform demonstrates exactly why this is such a dangerous strategy. We cannot rest our hopes on a centrist version of Hillary Clinton. She will go where the winds blow. Winds that currently have Barack Obama sitting above 50% approval ratings. Winds that have culminated in this extremist DNC agenda. Winds that very nearly gave us a self-proclaimed socialist as one of our major-party candidates.

Those winds could blow us right past the point of no return.

“Barack Obama sitting above 50% approval ratings”
After seven and a half years in office, that should indicate that a majority of the country approve of his policies, and the direction he has taken the country.
- frankspeak
  
  he’s presiding over a deeply divided country…for which he gets the lion’s share of the credit……hard to call that a “success’!….
- Patricia C. Gilbert
  
  Elizabeth Whitehouse – Thank you for the only reasonable and correct comment thus far on this blog.
- Kenneth Hyde
  
  I do not believe that 50% approval rating. Every one I talk to say they hate Obama’s guts! Maybe the 50% Is the news media’s approval rating..
- BigC
  
  If that figure is real, which I highly doubt, it simply proves half the people in this country are brain-dead idiots, most of whom are on the government dole!!!

  If you count the illegals, then you get your 50%.

  Bullchit. Anyone stupid enough to believe that is too stupid to talk to.
- froggy57
  
  Odd that 70% of the country think America is heading in the wrong direction and yet others are claiming 50% like Obama.

Sadly, if we do not elect Trump as President, our country will not have another election to vote in. The collapse of this country will happen if we continue in these liberal disastrous ways!
- mike
  
  When they pass a law that illegals and dead people can’t vote.That is the way of the idiot dumocrats.CHEAT,CHEAT and CHEAT again.Just like odummer did and that is how he got in twice
- Elizabeth Whitehouse
  
  Are you saying that it is part of the liberal agenda to do away with elections?
  - david b cordick
    
    that’s the idea, the elections that are going on now are a joke that’s not funny. illegals can vote, dead people can vote, people that don’t work, but enjoy the good life on other peoples money, they vote multiple times. why do people that contribute nothing to the country, but get to make decisions about how the country should be run of course they are going to vote for the one that tells them that they will give them more free stuff. fifty per cent of the country now doesn’t lift a finger to support themselves or their families, and they feel no shame of living off of other peoples money. the now generations believe that they are owed anything they want. pathetic. the coming election will be just as crooked as obamas were.

      If the socialist/progressives have their way, we will probably still have “elections”, but these will just be shams. The government will supply a list of their hand-picked candidates and you will be given the opportunity to vote for one of these. One won’t be any different than the other. But it will give the public the illusion of having made a choice in who controls them. Kind of like in the old USSR. Same thing has occurred elsewhere in the world. Last time I was in Brazil, I mentioned to an acquaintance how they had made the transition from military control to a democratic elected government. My Brazilian friend chuckled and said that the same people were in control as before, except they had the opportunity to vote them into power that time.

        The REpublicanNazi, have onde the biggest voter fraud possible by trying to fix the non-existent voter Fraud problem witht he voter ID, where considtently int he past they have strongly opposed any Iaws, they were opposed to pictures on Driver’s licences, ns rhe reason why we do not have gun registrations and liability if they are lost or stolen, I am a 100% disabled vet and the only reaon I got to vote 2 years ago was because of my universal DOD picture ID. I got out of the USMC in 1961, about the time that the Donald was begining his draft dodging routine, and probably supported the war in Nam, like he would support one against whoever since he got his deferments – the way I treated his kind when I was a undergrad was to take them to meet the Gunny so that they could go kill Commies (now muslims) for Christ. The problem was that when I released them from the come-along hold they would flee and never be seen again by me – if they thought the VC was bad, they had not met me in mean face. If you haven’t noticed the Voter ID laws have all fallen when the courts looked at their discirmination effects. No open driver’s licence places in heavily black areas in AL. If you don’t issue the ID then they can’t vote. A picture ID from Texas A&M is fine, but one from Prarie View is not. Went to A&M and taught as a replacement at Prarie view.
        Now that I am back to my home where I have legally lived since 1946 I have never seen such nonsense. The House GOP is the promised death panel – I lost the vision in one eye because of the delays caused by underfunding 4 years ago and have been waiting for new false teath for 18 months, and may get them for Christmas – If you can’t afford to treat the disabled vets you have, you should not make more. How much arm twisting did it take to finally get the Donald to turn over the $6 million –
        By the way, stay off of the socialist roads that my taxes have paid for, do not drink the socialist water from your tap or take showers in it, and do not fly on commercial airliners who are controlled by the Socialist FAA, and look around at what you use that have been paid for by the governments and do not ever use them again.
        By the way, unlike capitalism, where you can tell the winners by their wealth, no matter how they got it, Socialism is equalitarian – does Liberty, Equality and Fraternity ring a bell – the causes of both the French and the first Russian Revoluthions were the disparity of wealth and power – read “A Tale of Two Cities”, and with weath and power disparity at its highest ever, you may well loose your head over it. You have just been brainwashed into voting against yourself. According to the Freedom Coalition which essentially controls the House and Govt. income and spending, if there is a problem, the free market will take care of it — so where is the free market on doing something about the spread of the Zita virus? Where are they are they on the next generation of anti-biotics. A scrape of even an insect bite that was treatable a few years ago, can now kill you. The House is the Death Pannel that Sarah Promised.

Shrillary is just trying to hang on to as many of “bernie’s brigade” as she can…it remains to be seen how successful she’ll be…..
Richard Bagenstose

if you believe obomas approval rating is 50% or more , you are as delusional as he is , 70% of the country say we are on the wrong path , the way i see it , 70% of the country would rather see him hanging from a tree, for his treasonist acts, people are still being killed by terrorists and he has nothing better to do then campaign for hillary , with the way the media has lied to us the last 8 years and you still want to believe there poles , now that is stupid
- brooklynjoe
  
  I dunno, I talk to a LOT of people and live in a gun friendly state and STILL, after 8 years of debacle in the oval office, people still say they like him!! For example, my neighbors, they are elderly and have been Republicans all their life (I’m an independent) They have voted for him TWICE. Yest, after all they have seen, just the other day they tell me, well, he’ll be gone soon “how much can he do”!? Uh, ok, guess their attention span isn’t working too well anymore.
  Then, there is another individual, a trained professional Therapist. When ovomit was FIRST running, he was defending him saying “C’mon, he said he wasn’t going after our guns”! Now, 8 years later, HE IS SAYING THE SAME THING!!! I mean, seriously, where have you been the past 8 years!!
  There seems to be some sort of “collective hypnosis” when it comes to him (IT!) and I see it happening with
  broom HILda too! So, I would hope that you are correct, more than I am!

    It’s not “collective hypnosis” its collective spiritual bankruptcy!
  - Richard Bagenstose
    
    well i guess if your to busy to keep up with the lies , cover ups and corruption, i guess you might still like him , tell them to slow down and watch the news and then fact check it , and find out how your being screwed

  Richard,… though I’m sympathetic to your sand-castle-wish,…
  the unfortunate truth is that the ‘majority’ of American-voters are in-agreement-with,… to a greater-or-lesser-degree,.. the ‘ideas’ of the Democrat-Party. Probably 25-30% of American-voters oppose the ideas of the Democrat-Party,… to a greater-or-lesser degree.
  
  Unfortunately, ‘Emotionalism’,… and contrarian-ideas to the principles of truth of the Bible, is in full-evidence,… regardless of Party affiliation,… as we clearly see with Republican and Independents giving a lot of support to Mr. Trump
  
  IS AMERICA ‘STILL’ A GREAT COUNTRY?
  
  I tend to think not.
  
  I’m still thankful and proud of the true principles and ideas that our Founders,..and many people through our true history have trusted, and aspired-to. These principles and ideas (Spirit), are based-in the truths of the Bible,.. and The Salvation of God, which is only through trust in Jesus Christ,… and His Salvation to those who trust in His work.
  
  BUT during my life-time (the last 65 years),.. and in accelerating-fashion, during the last 8-10 years,…. the growing moral-confusion and strong-animus to truth,.. has challenged in me the idea that America is ‘still’ a ‘great’ country.
  
  I must confess to my recent misgivings, … or even in the hope of
  America’s ‘greatness’ being true.,… because of what I see and hear from so many American-people!
  And what definition of ‘great’ is believed by so many?
  
  Our popular-culture has moved ever-so certainly into an ‘opposition’ position to the ideas (the principles of truth of the Bible, and trust in God’s truth, love, and Salvation in Jesus Christ),… which MADE AMERICA GREAT,…
  
  …that I have a very difficult time explaining to others (and to myself) WHY such a place (institutionally, governmental-ly, culturally, morally)… as our beloved-nation, should NOW be considered ‘great’?
  
  Is it only because of our economic-prosperity-and-wealth, and our (potentially, yet eviscerated) military power?…. or the skeletons of our great leaders of the past— who steadfastly trusted in principles of truth of the Bible? …. or the once Biblical-ly-wise general ‘culture’, and population,.. who on-the-whole trusted in the principles of truth of the Bible?
  
  Has our population’s ‘ideas’ shifted so-far-away from these truths that we now,.. on-the-whole,… BELIEVE in false, and Biblical-ly-immoral ideas (dark spirits),… which bind and threaten the very idea of ‘freedom’ of thought, speech, religion, and press (media)??
  
  ARE WE STILL A ‘GREAT’ NATION??
  
  … which is simply being strangled life-less by ‘ideas’ (spirits) of darkness?
  
  Or are we only a ‘shell’,… a ‘facade’,… a ‘front’ in regards-to truth, freedom, and justice,..
  a ‘front’ of Biblical trust in God and Biblical-morality,….
  … which has, in reality, ‘ALREADY’ DIED-TO-TRUTH, on the inside?
  
  What about our ‘people’? What do we, on-the-whole, believe?
  
  How could we as a nation elect a man like Obama — twice?
  It’s not just because of our insidious ‘Media-Academia-Complex’,… which fervently opposes the principles of truth of the Bible,..
  
  But it’s because of the ‘IDEAS'(spirits) that a large part of our population — (American-people) have come to BELIEVE!
  
  And it’s not just the large immigrant (legal AND illegal,..Muslims,Hindu, Buddhist, AND ‘Christian’–so-called).. population,… who trust these contrarian-to-the-Bible– false-IDEAS,…..
  ..it’s born-and-bred American-citizens who ‘trust’ the false ideas (dark spirits)!
  
  ‘MORAL-RELATIVISM’.. which we often call ‘political-correctness’,..
  which includes the pagan-religion of ‘Environmentalism’,..
  ….HAS BECOME the RELIGION OF AMERICA!
  
  NOT TRUST IN THE GOD OF THE BIBLE.
  
  Neither do Muslims,.. or Hindus,,.. or Buddhists,… OR Pagan-‘environmentalists’,… trust in the God of the Bible!
  
  What IS a nation except it’s people?… AND the ‘Ideas’ that those people on-the-whole ascribe-to?
  
  Those ‘ideas’ are reflected in ‘media-and-academia’,… and our popular-culture. And that ‘culture’ is the outward demonstration of what that nation is willing to believe-and-tolerate.
  
  The American-people on-the-whole are willing to tolerate (accept) moral-depravity, and ideological-suicide,… BECAUSE we no longer, on-the-whole, trust in principles of truth of the Bible,.. and the LOVE OF GOD!
  
  Nevertheless, many within America STILL trust in principles of truth of the Bible,…. and God has not abandoned America.
  
  But is she ‘great’?
  
  America is only ‘great’ when the people, on-the-whole, believe,…..trust-in the principles of truth of the Bible,… the IDEAS,… the truths
  of the God of the Bible, and Jesus Christ!
  
  Ideas, Truth, and Courage MATTER!

  YOU spoke to 70% of the American people?
  How many times did you “talk” to yourself?
- apzzyk
  
  This 70% is not surprising because it also counts us on the left who think that we are lagging behind because of the Conservative domination of Congress over 22 of the last 24 years. Obama gets blamed for excess spending but the House keeps cutting his budget requests even for controlling illegal imigration as the above sponsor – the Judicial Watch – demands. The VA scandal during which I lost the sight in one eye developed because the GOP would not fund the part of the VA that handles applications and appeals, so out of sight out of the budget. The House must like sick people and pin heads because of their too short appropriation for the study and development of vaccines and treatments for Zita virus. Since 1975 one third of the middle or consumer class has disappeared, and down ward mobility has become the rule. Most of the new housing built in the past 8 years are rentals, which cost the renters about the same as a house payment but instead of getting equity and making wealth, the renters have rent receipts, and the builders can control the supply to maximize profitability.
  My suggestion is that you look at the results that we have after 35 years of ‘trickle down’ economics versus what we had before, with highly progressive income tax rates, companies like GE actually paying some taxes for the first time in 20 years – they do get a lot of the taxpayers money, but they are not one of them. Whys doesn’t the Donald tell us when America was great before, and how does he get so much support form the blue collar white guy who barely has 2 nickels to rub together when the Donald has never even actually met one of these. How many times has he ever been close to Harlem or other areas of poverty? Why won’t he disclose his tax returns – is it because as in the late 1970’s he paid no income taxes – those who pay no taxes are really not one of us.
  - froggy57
    
    Donald has stated in print that he does his best to pay as little income tax as possible because Uncle Sam is pissing it all off stupidly. I don’t think anyone pays any more taxes than they have to. Do you? Tell the truth now.
    - apzzyk
      
      So does Warren who wants to pay more in taxes, and since he does not he is a primary donor to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which, if we do not have a big change in Congress will probably have to fund the health projects here that they now fund in the 3rd World.
      We have a United States, not an Oligarchy that cares only for itself, so if the Donald wants to spend his income on something that will benefit the People, he can do that, and if not the government should take it and put it to use for these people. Are you really up for food riots – there are people doing jail time for crimes of necessity – stealing food to feed their kids. My VA disability income is not taxable, but I pay property taxes on my home, and sales taxes on all of the rest, so even though I do not pay income taxes I pay a higher tax rate than does the Donald who just uses every loophole available, so I pay a rate of at least 10% on all of my income, to keep up with me, this last year, the Donald would have had to pay $55.7 Million, so how much did he actually pay? The House which will not go back to work until the middle of the next month will cure the Zita virus by giving more tax breaks to the Donald and other greedy bastards, and then cut the size of government. This year, the national debt will increase by over $230 Billion, so the budget could be ballenced if the top 1% had to pay 5% more in Federal Taxes.
      The new name of the country will be “We the Rich, who want to get Richer States of America”. If the country had followed Jefferson and made owning property a qualification for voting, then we would have only a very few voters, but they didn’t and now the biggest voter fraud are Voter ID laws.
      Is funding VA Healthcare stupid? Is the funding of the CDC to fight the Zita virus stupid? How about making sure you have clean water and are not dringing the neighbors piss and other waste? Our tap water is cleaner than the bottled water at the store because the government paid for our water filtration plants – if you would drink out of the Hudson where GE dumped its PCBs that would probably lead to your early death, so was fining GE, which pays no Federal Income Taxes, be good or bad?
      Paying taxes are just a part of the membership in the US club. If no taxes and no grovernment are such good things, why don’t you live in Samolia? Donald could be President for life of several places, but his life expectancy would be in seconds.

The almost hidden and largely ignored threat from the Democrat leftist and socialist bound party is the intent to enlarge governmental control of our lives! Period! The socialist media bombards the public with the Presidential fight between the candidates to obscure this fact. Add in the influence of the Supreme Court and the direction our country takes towards total disaster should be self evident, IF we don’t vote for absolute change. Shame on those who will stay home on election day, or vote for “more of the same”!
Austinniceguy

First of all why would ANYONE imagine that $chitlery wouldn’t press forward with all of these reforms when she has made it PERFECTLY CLEAR that she’s all in for much bigger government as well as the NWO. She has threatened Britain over their decision to depart from the EU and has promised us that she WILL bring in as many of those savage animals under the guise of “refugees” as she can. She has also announced that not only will she put ENTIRE industries out of business and leave 100’s of thousands of Americans out of work AND anything she will want to pass that congress doesn’t agree with she’ll simply use Executive Action and pass it anyway. What about ANY of that makes ANYONE think that she’s a centrist?

As a country we are in the place like when the people wanted a king and God let them have Saul . So if you have read the book you know Saul became full of himself and became oppressive to the people . When they cried out to God he gave them David . If our country served the right God we wouldn’t have either party!
- FreedomFighter
  
  Sounds like Obama to me. We are about to make America Great again. You can join us, or sit back and watch us make it happen because it WILL happen.
  - Gail
    
    I am not sure It is Obama . And I for one will not be setting back doing nothing . I have taken heat all day from stupid people who know nothing about Hillary. I think in this case Trump is like David . He is having to fight the GOP and the Dems at the same time . What is there to hate about someone that wants to give us back our country ! There is 112 million Americans without jobs . And when was the last time you saw a black or white man on a construction site . I have never witnessed so much hatred for our country in my life . I don’t know where these idiots think they will go when they destroy America. .Because of Obamas hatred for America his apology tour turned the whole world against us
    - FreedomFighter
      
      Obama thinks he is a king is what I was saying. You are correct on what Trump is going through and like I stated earlier, we the people will vote Trump for president. The political correctness, illegal immigration, and the gay stupidity will all stop come Jan 17 2017.
      - Gail
        
        I am certainly hoping so . America can’t stand much more of that idiot. This is why we have to replace all of the Dem/Rep . They should have impeached the bum a long time ago . And because they allowed him and his following to do what they have done it will take years to recover . God help us I hope people will research Hillary .?

People just don’t listen and they don’t think! There are still those who believe that America is great and always will be! That America is safe and always will be! That America will never fall! The truth is their eyes are blind to the truth! Their minds are closed concerning what is happening all around us! They are quite simply great fools! They have been deceived by lies, deceptions and false promises! This nation has turned away from God and will go down in ignominy! In short, America is finished! People get upset when they hear this, but all the signs point to that truth!

- Eric Hartman
  
  Yes, not happy with the way the Dems rigged the system, but it will be a cold day in hell i vote for tRump.
  - viking nation
    
    Won’t vote for Trump but Vote for Hillary that is part of that Rigged system your not happy with hmmm don’t sound right to me. I say even IF you Hate Trump We need to stop this very system your not happy with… you should Vote Trump or this rigged system will go on & on & on.
    - Eric Hartman
      
      One, your rigged party might still do a brokered convention. Two, I doubt Trump could/would do anything to change the rigged system. In fact he is likely to do his own “rigging” to suit whatever is best for his own self. I might vote Green and let the chips fall.
      - viking nation
        
        Who Sanders? I like him a lot more then Hillary & horn dog husband You do know if you Vote Hillary she is going to kepp NAFTA as her trade policy. NAFTA is what Bill Clinton started. ITs allows company’s to take their products overseas & have them their make that product for penny’s on the dollar & then sell it here at a much higher price This is why Trump said he will TAX theses company’s a 35% TAX. Trump also said IF these company’s bring their company’s back to the USA he will give them a flat TAX to bring JOBs back to America. If you Vote Hillary this Won’t happen & this is the reason we all should be voting for Trump. Hillary will keep Bill Clinton’s trade policy’s NAFTA & it is bad for JOBS here.
      - Eric Hartman
        
        Obviously I like Bernie better than Hillary, and not by just a little bit. I totally agree with your NAFTA argument. That is one reason Bernie has not bowed out and I would also have a difficult time voting for Hillary. When I said “vote Green” I was referring to the Green Party, Jill Stein, who is against the trade agreements. I don’t trust tRump as far as I could throw him. I wouldn’t bet a plug nickle he would do anything he says. tRump has far too many negatives to make up for that one positive. This Country might just have to get even lower before the voters wake up and smell the coffee. Sad state of affairs.
      - viking nation
        
        The problem is No other person can Win but Trump now Sanders is pretty much out of the race. Our only hope is Trump will do what he said he would. We can’t let Hillary in the White House Or our country will go to shit FOR SURE What’s Four years of Trump all he might do or doesn’t do Can be changed.
      - Eric Hartman
        
        I’m not optimistic either way, viking. It also depends on the Congressional elections. One thing for sure though, Trump could do a lot more damage in his appointments to the SCOTUS. That is long lasting.
      - froggy57
        
        What is sad is that people like you who obviously are fairly bright, are so blinded by their prejudices and preconceived opinions that they will let the last hope we have slip away to save their ego. What part of, ‘Leaves comfy billionaire life style to expose himself and his family to very real dangers because he loves his country, don’t you understand?’ What part of, ‘vows to work without a paycheck’, don’ t you get? What part of ‘funds his own campaign’ don’t you get?
      - Eric Hartman
        
        Froggy57, all due respect, what is sad is all the people like you that have bought into all Trumps BS. One, Trump loves nothing more than Trump and what Trump can get for Trump. His narcissism is neck to neck with (I would even argue ahead of) Hillary. From your own right wing side:
        http://www.redstate.com/leon_h_wolf/2016/07/06/hillary-set-private-server-three-reasons-trump-wouldve-done/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl.
        
        With either foreign policy will likely be a disaster. However my opinion is that WWIII is less likely with Clinton. Too much money is involved in arms sales. Trump being a business man, (and not a very good one at that) making deals, well hard to change anything there. Neither of them going about the rise of ISIS correctly.
        
        Domestic finance, more tax cuts for the wealthy is not the answer, infact make things worse. “Vows to work without a paycheck” One, POTUS salary a spit in the bucket what is wrong to fix the economy. Can’t tell me with all his “deals” he is going to do he won’t enrich his own self, just as he is with his campaign donations. Look, like it or not, the economy is better now than under W. A long way to go but better. Status quo would be better than backwards. Other domestic policy..the country would likely self destruct from within under Trump.
        
        On and on and on and on. I have no “ego” in this contrary to your belief. Neither is a good choice. It ain’t going to be pretty with either one.

        I appreciate the calm no name calling response. I think the only people who are rabidly anti Trump, are ones who have a dog in the fight. I am a long time businessman and passed my mensa test in 1975. I have been watching Hillary and Bill for a long time. And I have gone from WTF? when he announced his bid for POTUS to, what the hell, he can’t do any worse than Clinton, Bushes, or Obama has done. I believe Donalds ego is too large for him to back track on his promises. Simple as that. It is difficult for me to understand how people could be against the proposals and promises he has made. Repeatedly on camera. He could not back away from and save fact. And face seems to be very important to Trump.

        I call that less than an intelligent assessment of Donald. Especially in light of the fact you do not know the man. You level many insults but no facts about him that suggests he would be dishonest, or a bad POTUS. You sound like a PAID SHILL.

        hahaha well so much for the no name calling 🙂 I guess we’ll find out if he wins. Well I wish I was being paid for expressing my opinion on a public forum but sorry dude, you are WRONG. BTW, it sounds like you are a bit shy on facts and heavy on opinion your own self. So you know him? No, i do not. I do know for fact he stiffed contractors, he lies, he won’t show his income tax, he used to believe in climate change and now he does not, on and on. Those are facts. Have a nice day.

        Try this on for size. I just red it and read similar rumblings elsewhere.

      I would vote Trump for the Wall Across The Border. That alone is good enough. That single act would do more for the country, than the monkey has done in 8 years.

        I agree Theres also Trump’s flat tax I am sure you will like it Take a look—>Trump’s Flat Tax income from 30,000 to 100,000 reults in a flat 5%, also Lower tax rates on capital gains (on selling your home) Your paycheck 40 percent higher then it currently is. Imagine having 40 percent more in your check eack week for your family..Think of how many more Jobs & opportunities for you & others 40% more could mean for all of us. Trump said Those making UP to 30,000 will only pay 1 percent Tax & A income from 30,000 to 100,000 willpay 5% percent Tax Incomes from 100,000 to 1 million will be 10 percent Now 1 million or above will be Taxed 15 percent.. The Rich that makes the Jobs is now paying 38 percent Tax As you see It is Clear & Fair for all to bring jobs back to america…Trump also has a 5 point economic plan that encourages growth, savings & ivestments for our country. Hillary has nothing that can compare.

        It has. Your life is filled with delusions. Mine is filled with joy. Say hello to Satan when you get there.
      - Eric Hartman
        
        How lovely for you and what a coincidence, as my life is filled with joy as well 🙂 So sorry to disappoint though, not joy of disillusionment. When i was but a lad, Texas was quite a nice friendly state. I am under no disillusion when I say I would not wish to reside there today. Sadly it seems the populous has taken a nasty turn for the worse in the last 60 years..Should I have the opportunity to give Satan your regards I surely will, but you may just have the opportunity to give your regards to him in person. 🙂

        Sorry, I will not be allowed in Hell. Jesus won’t let me go there. And you? Since you love animals in black skin, you can reside
        there with them.
      - Eric Hartman
        
        Oh my such language! I do hope for your sake that Jesus is as forgiving as you seem to think He is. Otherwise, well like I say, you might have the chance to give your regards in person. I suppose the color of your cat should have been my first clue. Good luck dear.

        Oh come on. Have some guts and just use the N word like you really want to do. Keep flapping your yap. That is getting you closer to Jesus with every word. Wow you are without a doubt the reason i choose not to even spend my tourist dollars in your “fine state”.

        My black neighbors are from Uganda. I like their accent, no N jive. They are very kind and treat whites as just people. So much better than these American born black welfare punks and savages.

Since this is a conservative web site it is interesting to see out of the 25 comments I read only twice has Trumps name been seen. Interesting! Most are complaints against Liberals but not much backing the bigot.

  And why do you call him a bigot?
  Is that the only sophomoric label you have in your quiver?

    It takes a bigot to know a bigot.

  Since you are so unprejudiced, why not invite a dozen illegals, to live with you?

Another stupid article courtesy of the this sight. I swear, these people would call Ike himself a commie.

I think we need a computer in control of government spending. With the power to nix any spending that is not logical. That would reduce the budget by 75% immediately

How anyone could vote for a woman who stole dishes and artwork from the white house when leaving, and who had to threatened with charges, and still hasn’t returned all of it, https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5780bd8d10a47731c041e05fa3a64bc7b003edde91f63b30a1600471d0d48e53.jpg eludes me.
