When they claim that Ben Shapiro (a uptight practicing jew who currently supports trump but didn't vote for him and criticizes him plenty) & Steven Crowder are nazis we can see for a fact that their metric for fascist/nazi is either completely broken or is intentionally skewed to include all conservatives. |

LOL at a lot of these posts.
Let me first start by saying I NEVER post in political threads. I do not particularly support any party & feel they are all corrupt. None has the interest of the country or people at heart imo. I don't engage in political arguments or even much discussion with friends. BUT I must ask a few questions as I observe some posts here... 1) so to charlie - you were insulted/mad that some used "ANTIFA" ? You wanted them to use the full name and said ANTIFA was their (the poster's) preferred name? Why is it wrong to call them ANTIFA? that isn't derogatory is it? Isn't that what they call themselves? It is just easier to say/write abbreviation than say/write it out, right? Just curious why you chimed in ad corrected him. 2) bigtrain - you say dem/lib are against hypocrisy of Christianity and then reel off your list of their short comings and hypocritical stances in your mind (which I agree w btw), BUT you only mentioned and rattled off items about Christianity when you were saying you weren't anti religion. So, I must ask..what do you feel about Muslims killing/stoning/throwing off buildings homosexuals? What about not allowing women to drive? What about making them walk behind men? What about making them cover their faces and bodies? What about beating them for adultery? I am curious if you are offended by any of these "values" of Muslim religion? If so, You didn't mention it in your defense of "Anti-religion" comment. 2) What do liberals here think about the news yesterday that Obama is buying a $15 million dollar compound on Martha's Vineyard? https://robbreport.com/shelter/homes...llion-2865341/ Since you seem to be offended by "hypocrisy" Isn't he the one who told wealthy people they didn't make it on their own? He said "Now, what we’re doing, I want to be clear, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that's fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...ugh_money.html Didn't he vilify the elite and champion the working class? What do you think of this? I do not begrudge him making money. Good for him. He used his presidency to sell books and charge for speaking fees. He certainly didn't have $15M for house prior to the White House. He was a community organizer. Finally, I am not trying to engage in arguments. I am not a right winger, birther, "Trumptard" or anything else anyone may accuse me of. I was just scrolling through and these spirited posts of these 2 posters stood out to me. From my view, your vitriol is exactly the type thinking that alienates "middle America" & many people. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the views here and the political correctness of today actually pushes people away from the Democrats and toward Trump by default. People don't like being called "racist" & "fascist" because they disagree w someone. It's an incendiary tactic like calling someone a child molester. So, what are your thoughts on my questions...curious/.. |

I'm going to answer this question with a question if Obama was such a champion of the working class in vilify the elites why did all of the games from the recovery going to the pockets of the elites in the working-class was left wiped out? Quote:
the community organizer part of his bio was always put in there to make him seem more common then he actually was If you look at the schools that he attended they were basically all private institutions would Hefty price tags. One of the things politicians will do especially the more well-off ones is they will spend their bios to make them seem as one of the people in order to connect.

diam -
yeah. like uncle joe being from scranton and riding the train. BO didn't grow up wealthy though. Single mother/raised by grandparents. his schooling must have been scholarship/loans?? i'm not totally versed in his background but i would guess that,?? just was curious at what some of the vocal democrats here think about what i wrote it's good (IMO) to see that you don't blindly love him just because he's cool or is young or whatever. yeah. he was centrist and banker friendly, not hardly anti 1% stuff. lot of democrats / lib defend him no matter what. i wasn't trying to incite anyone and just want to sit back and read..but those 2 posters stood out to me as being vocal about calling or implying people were bigots and hypocrites. |

thanks for the reply. but the alleged hatred was of religion not just christianity so i wondered why you singled out christianity. and yes, there are pedo priests. they should all be in jail. and have their riches stolen.
lol..well, i said i don't post on stuff like this but while i am responding i must say..i was a little annoyed w the pope that everyone loves so much when he came to US. everyone was fawning all over him how cool he was and that he was a latino. but it sort of pissed me off that he never addressed the institutionalized abuse and he was complicit in letting priests who were molesters just flee the US and set up shop in the vatican. pretty sick ad not very "Christ like" imo . |

As for Barack Obama, it was only after the early years of his presidency that the role the Wall Street banks played in ensuring his election came to light. Many left leaning folks were severely disappointed to discover that Mr. Obama is a committed center oriented politician and not the liberal spear carrier of their dreams and right wing propaganda. It is very clear that both the Obamas are very intelligent individuals. |

Shortly after President Obama took office, I remember watching an interview with his wife Michelle. (At the time I didn't know anything about him, he seemed to come out of nowhere.) The interviewer asked her about their first date and she replied "He took me to a town hall meeting". At that point it became very apparent to me this guy was nothing more than a good ol' boy career politician.
