Nah, so long as somebody takes care of it.

What pathetic pieces of humanity.

yes, yes you a vile piece of shit.

He was truly the right mix of fiscal conservatism and social libertarianism. Spend the people's money wisely, make their government efficient, and then get the hell out of their personal lives and leave them alone.

Exactly.

The ONLY way to govern, in my book.

Agreed. Reagan personified it.

Jeb Bush: GOP Shifting Beyond Reagan, Elder Bush
Jeb Bush: GOP Shifting Beyond Reagan

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is calling for a more moderate Republican Party — one that he says his father George Bush and Ronald Reagan would embrace.

Jeb told reporters on Monday that his father and Reagan would not have agreed with today's GOP, which has been moving more to the right and following a strict adherence to ideology, The New York Times reports.

“Ronald Reagan would have, based on his record of finding accommodation, finding some degree of common ground, similar to my dad, they would have had a hard time if you define the Republican Party — and I don’t — as having an orthodoxy that doesn’t allow for disagreement,” Jeb said at question-and-answer session in Manhattan by Bloomberg View.

“Back to my Dad’s time or Ronald Reagan’s time,” he went on, “they got a lot of stuff done with a lot of bipartisan support that right now would be difficult to imagine happening.”

Jeb has increasingly become the Republican Party's voice of moderation at a time when the tea party has become increasingly popular and has called for a tighter ideological discipline.

You can't be *against* segregation and vote for it?

Please advise all the pro-abortionists who claim that although they vote for abortion.......they are not pro-abortion.

Boo- hoo......

kg....carby was my piñata!


Well...OK.....you can slap him around, too...

Piñata? Really? I shudder to think what came out when it burst...

I knew I shouldn't have said that.....

 

[PoliticalChic]

What a moron you are! Are you having difficulty reading and comprehending?

I ask again: Are you attacking Liberals or Democrats? They are not always the same. Much the same way Republicans are not always Conservatives. There was once a Republican who, as an elected President of the United States fought a war against state's rights and for the emancipation of slavery (destroying personal property rights). Another Republican President built a sterling reputation as a regulator and destroyer of the crown jewels of unfettered Capitalism: the monopoly.

And now you're asking us to suspend disbelief and think of people like Fred Phelps and David Duke as if they were Liberals.

Once and for all, do you want to attack Liberal politics or the Democrat party. They are not one in the same.

If you are asking me a question....say 'please.'

Now 'pretty please.'

"...you're asking us..."

I'm not asking you anything. I merely skewered your conflation of insane racists with right-wing talkers.

When you throw out (throw up) the Leftist propaganda that you memorized in government schools, I'll be happy to respond with the truth.

...not that I expect you to learn from it; after all, you're a Liberal.

well argued. Did you learn that in a public school, or were you home schooled by someone unable to reason?

I'd be happy to compare my schooling to yours......

 

[PoliticalChic]

Coming from a person that's usually on the losing end of an ass-kicking contest that's really rich.

show me where i have ever lost on here?

But wonderful deflection to avoid the subject that the OP is a fucking moron who cherry picks her info in order to defend her agenda.

"...show me where i have ever lost on here..."

Ask and you shall receive...

Now, finger-paint, bet you don't really want me to bring up the time you misjudged a joke and insisted that I had said that I wasn't certain Obama would lose....

The post was "I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure...."

I'm sure you remember that one....I laughed so hard I actually gave you a rep.

True?

C'mon....admit it.

Still waiting for the admission......

1. "Principal bans 'God Bless the USA' from kindergarten graduation

2. A New York school principal has banned Lee Greenwood's song "God Bless the USA" from a kindergarten graduation ceremony,...

3. Greta Hawkins heads up the Edna Cohen School in Coney Island and told staffers to drop the patriotic song from the program because she didn't want to "offend other cultures."

4. The children were to sing Greenwood's popular song and waving tiny American flags at their graduation.

5. The touching lyrics include "...I love this land, God bless the USA" and "...the flag still stands for freedom, and they can’t take that away," but the principal removed it from the program after hearing the students sing it at rehearsal.

6. Parent Luz Lozada tells the New York Post, “A lot of people fought to move to America to live freely, so that song should be sung with a whole lot of pride."

7. Department of Education spokeswoman Jessica Scaperotti tells the New York Post that she supports the principal's decision noting, "The lyrics are not age-appropriate."

8. However, Justin Bieber's song, "Baby" is apparently considered age-appropriate for five-year-olds who will be singing lines from the song that include, "I'm in pieces, baby fix me" and "Are we an item? Girl, quit playin' ... We're just friends," what are you sayin'?"

9. ... DOE spokeswoman Scaperotti did note that children at the school recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing "America the Beautiful" every day in class, insiders tell the New York Post that the principal tried to put a stop to that a few years ago but failed after the staff objected.

10. She has been called a bully and a tyrant by staffers and was reprimanded by the Department of Education in 2010 for calling the Edna Cohen School "racist" and declaring, "I’m black. Your previous principal was white and Jewish. More of us are coming.”

And rdeeeeeeeeeeeeeearn responds with this:

Republicans have taken flag waving to a disgusting level.

Remember when Bush said, "You are with us or with the terrorists?"

4 years of Republicans saying the president is "not American" and not "Christian".

The worst part is the hypocrisy. Republicans claim to be the party of Jesus, but shout "let him die" and applaud executions at their political rallies. Don't say it's not true. We have video.

Republicans gleefully sent young Americans off to Iraq to be killed and maimed for oil while hiding behind a banner of patriotism and fear. They say they support the troops when you have John McCain saying that if you give soldiers benefits like education, they won't want to stay in the military or Sen. Coburn planning on ways to cut veterans health care benefits.

Republicans have no idea what their leadership is doing. But they support them, no matter what it is. Even when Republicans were giving out no bid contracts in Iraq and soldiers were being electrocuted from sub standard housing. Republicans yawn over stuff like that.

Then there is the hatred towards minorities.

Yet, Republicans have convinced themselves they are the party of God and patriotism while showing disdain for both.

And you, one of the worst liars and most disgusting people I've been unfortunate to come in some slight contact with. I feel dirty having a post next to one of yours.

Are you Drunk?...



peace...

"...Sen. Barry Goldwater, the Republican nominee for president that year, voted against the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. A founder of the NAACP in Arizona, Goldwater was a vehement foe of segregation. But he was also an ardent libertarian. He thought two of the seven major provisions of the bill - on housing and public accomodation - were unwarranted and unconstitutional intrusions by the federal government into private affairs."
Jack Kelly

That's propagandistic horseshit.

You can't 'be' against segregation and vote for it.

Why did the Southern Democrats turn Republican en masse in 64, with their votes?

You can't be *against* segregation and vote for it?

Please advise all the pro-abortionists who claim that although they vote for abortion.......they are not pro-abortion.

A person who votes for the right to choose is willing to allow abortions to occur.

A person who votes for the right to discriminate against minorities is willing to allow racial discrimination to occur.

If you are insisting that by your own logic, Goldwater was pro-racial discrimination, then take it up with the people in this thread you think you're wrong.

You have no clue about batting averages??????
And you are truly one of the dumbest human beings ever to produce a carbon footprint.

The difference between 1.000 and .500 is the difference between a wit and a half-wit.

The fact that you didn't get the joke and walked right into it was quite a bonus.

Goldwater was one of many in the GOP running for Office when he did...

He also got his Ass Handed to him by LBJ.

The Result would be the same if another Goldwater were to Run for President.

The Presidency isn't about Individuals Wants and Desires for the Office... It's about getting the Majority of 10's of Millions of People's Votes that then Translates into an Electoral Win.

10's of Millions of People are DIVERSE by Nature.

Today, the news report is that Principal Greta Hawkins has pulled the Justin Bieber song, and
will allow the children to sing "America the Beautiful"

But....what about all the other cultures that think their nation is beautiful???

As in, "I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism."

 

[Nosmo King]

Define "American" exceptionalism.

Is it patriotism or, like love, does it mean never having to say you're sorry?
