oops....skirt...not shirt

Zed,

Sure...there are examples of certain groups of conservatives who have views I find extreme.

But liberals I see a common thread that runs through most of them as dangerous to the general health of society.

There are some issues on both sides that must be fixed though...at some point in time.

Currently I am more concerned about liberals.

Zed,

If you were truly honest with yourself you would see a threat of fascism from both sides.

Personally I believe liberals are the greater threat to our democracy.

Boaz,

I don't think Trump's demeanor would work at the debates this time.

Like you I think it's pointless to really consider the possibility.

But what else do liberals have to talk about except Trump?

Donner,

But...why do you think he wanted to play it down?

People like to say Trump believed it a hoax like just made up or something.

Even you said Trump saw a serious problem.

However he also saw another serious problem.

Millions of people out of work and businesses closing. He was an experienced businessman and understood the world of commerce.

You do have to ask yourself at what point the cure is worse than the disease.

Donner,

"Because he was afraid of scaring us."

I'm not so sure I believe that.

Trump is a businessman, not a social scientist.

I'm more inclined to think he didn't want to disrupt the economy unnecessarily.

This was new for him and after the fact everyone's an expert.

China is at fault for not being more honest.

Your logic may have some validity but as we've seen this virus is resilient and contagious.

Regardless if Trump runs there will be a Republican candidate and currently things are not going well for Democrats.

I think this thread was probably trying to be a dig at the book Purpose-Driven Life and concept that is very popular.

Old,

I wasn't being literal where the implication is liberals are dumb and so explains their obsession with Trump.

Frankly I don't buy the purposeless idea anyway. There's a lot more to intelligence than that.

I am an acquired taste.

Now THAT's real progress.

Ahhh....

So THAT explains why liberals are so motivated and driven to attack Trump and conservatives.

Speak,

"When you're voting in agreement with klansmen, nazis, and confederates, you KNOW you're on the side of true evil."

I can say the same to you about communists.

Speak,

Because atheists don't qualify as a religion, they get away with this and even blatantly brag about "re-educating" the children.

If Christians or any other religion tried to have the same influence in public schools you'd hear a mighty roar.

Schools should stick to reading, writing and arithmetic.

Correction...

It's the role Democrats have taken upon themselves to "re-educate" the public and promote values that I am rejecting.

Speak,

I think you understand the dilemma based on your posts.

You just don't like it.

It's not Trump I support.

It's the role Democrats have taken upon themselves to "re-educate" the public and promote values.

Perhaps they should have stuck with civil rights, the environment and feeding the poor.

Now they've put themselves in the position I'm afraid the baby may be thrown out with the bath water.

Based on your posts I can tell you get it.

You just don't like it.

Speak,

"If he's black"

I voted for Obama both times.

Donner,

"Qtards Trumpers do not seem to be interested in helping anyone."

Your use of the word "seem" pretty well tells me even you don't believe everything you wrote.

It may "seem" to be true on the surface to some but even you know your post is a lot of hyperbole.

Rsty,

"You see, this is how a consumer economy works."

Yea...consuming without first producing something.

You think that's capitalism?

A "consumer economy"...that's part of the problem.

Speak,

Fresh water, energy, air, food....

If we don't kill each other or ourselves, one of the aforementioned will do it for us sooner than we think.

Speak,

I don't really have much hope for the future of mankind.

All I see anywhere is downward spirals in social order and the human condition.

Sure....hand out more free money to everyone for doing nearly nothing for it.

The human race has a limited shelf life anyway.

Speak,

Stop paying women to have children.

Speak,

"Working class"...yes

Work being the operative word.

Speak,

"Americans are ready to tax the rich, but democrats can't win their votes because of the left's obsession with wokeness and strategic idiocy like "defund the police"."

Also, I am ready to tax the rich but not so Democrats can expand their social programs.

I am ready to tax the rich but not "to pay for Democrats' Build Back Better Act."

Sure...some parts...but not all.

Go back to work.

Every new technology is guaranteed to be used in 1 of 2 ways.

Military or porn.

They both invest heavily.
