Thank You very much Donald Trump!!!

So I'm reading this without really going over the last couple pages for context, but Texas was part of the confederacy. Home to the last battle of the Civil War, even though everyone already knew Robert E Lee surrendered.

 

You know you are wasting your time. Arguing with a liberal is a complete waste of brain matter. Minds are made up...and you aren't changing them...no matter what evidence you present. BTW, I like the way you think! : )

 

Lol

 

It's a personality thing really, at first I thought he was just another arrogant wealthy person. But I'm also fairly certain he's a psychopath, so until I see him really tested, I can't commit entirely.

I'm absolutely positive he'll weather all this childish bullshit the democrats are propping up in his path because I think he is leading them into it in an effort to prove how irrelevant most democrats are when it comes to taking care of the Americans themselves. The message I get from democrats is that I'm just another taxpayer to be mined for gold and if I complain, I must be a *-ist, *-phobe or a republican!

Because democrats and leftists are never wrong. Get used to that.

 

Too general of a term to be using here. A lot of us are liberals socially and more pragmatic in how things actually work (like the massive con job that is the carbon industry). Most of the liberals I have met here since 2002 have not been rabid leftists (the few that are, are a real hoot).

 

My mistake. Texas was annexed 1844 and joined the Union in 1845 as a slaver state. In 1861 Sam Houston refused to pledge allegiance to the Confederate states and was pushed aside. Then, Texas did join the Confederacy. I got mixed up because I was reading about Fort Union in New Mexico. Several guys I know are always telling me Texas and Arizona were actually independent REPUBLICS and had their own currency, and claimed they could secede. I'm not fully informed on that part about being required to remain in the Union.

 

So just a disagreement on what to call them? Liberal vs leftist? Liberals of the 60s are not liberals of today...at least in my experience.

 

What makes you think he is a psychopath? Just maybe he is incredibly bright...and plays the media like no one else has before. Maybe he is the master marketer...and troller. Again, I look at results. The man has done everything he promised (that hasn't been blocked by Democrats). That doesn't seem to me to be the definition of a true psychopath.

 

I'll never get you on this one. A scam by big environment?

 

Where's your wall?

 

I think that only time some people will become acceptive and even appreciate other people's way of thinking or belief is when their own children grow up with their own way of thinking and opinions. Then they might start to acknowledge.

 

Yeah liberals today want healthcare for everyone, what a bunch of assholes.

 

That's a classic Texas myth. I heard that dozens of times growing up. Not a bit of truth to it, but I bet my grandchildren will hear it.

 

He doesn't lie. He has kept every campaign promise he made (that the Democrats haven't blocked)

 

Ah the ol' Texas myth. Walker Texas Ranger!

 

It's a shakedown for cash and prizes. How does a wealthy western nation reduce their "carbon footprint"? By packing up all the polluting factories and equipment for China and India. Where the emissions standards are practically non-existent. The biosphere is still being polluted, and at an even greater rate than before. But I still have to drive with a muzzle on my engine while those parts of the world power vehicles with anything that burns.

I'm sure there's a place to call me a racist in there somewhere.
