Kings are not the problem in America, hypocrisy is.

[Raynine]

I went to the gym this morning and overheard a conversation between what I assume are two fellow Baby Boomers. It was the day after the big “No Kings” protest march in the city. They were males and one was saying to the other that once he thought people should be personally responsible for themselves but now he realizes that some people need help. I do not discuss politics in the gym, so I was silent and went about my business. But I wonder if either of these sundown liberal thinkers would be willing to liquidate all their assets, homes, vehicles, pensions, etc., convert them into cash, and donate the money to the government. There is so much corruption in Washington that political and cultural insanity is limited only by the imaginations of corrupt politicians. I wonder if they realize that the huge amount of money taken from hard working citizens ends up cutting off the testicles of males and encouraging them to compete in female sports.

These postmodern liberal Boomers are not going to give up anything because they believe what theirs is theirs. If they were to give up those things, maybe I could consider their point of view regarding government. But foisting bad government on others from a safe vantage point is what liberalism and wokeness are all about. It is hypocrisy in action.

That is why Trump is in the White House. It has nothing to do with kings.

There was a small bunch the next county over "protesting" and every damn one of them was a boomer....Every damn one of them owns property there where the average price of a home is 1.5M+.

Those assholes wouldn't give up a thing but they sure run their yap.....They are not fooling anyone.

Why do self-centered crybabies start threads in "Politics" to whine about their insecurities? Isn't there a more suitable place for that?

I forgot how funny this Political section is.

Don't get me wrong. I oppose the cutting off of testicles in most all circumstances. I also oppose using hormones and steroids to decrease or increase ones natural abilities to compete against your peers.

You've got to give him credit for making himself a victim for fantasizing that his hard-earned tax money is paying to castrate athletes, while liberal baby boomers won't give up all their assets to convince him of their political sincerity in helping the less fortunate, and perhaps even standing up for Habeas Corpus.

Who can argue with that, eh?

For all you hypocritical Liberal haters:

"A day in the Life of Sue Republican.”

Sue gets up at 6 a.m. and fills her coffeepot with water to prepare her morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards.

With her first swallow of coffee, she takes her daily medication. Her medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.

All but $10 of her medications are paid for by her employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Sue gets it too.

She prepares her morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Sue's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the shower, Sue reaches for her shampoo. Her bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for her right to know what she was putting on her body and how much it contained.

Sue dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air she breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.

She walks to the subway station for her government-subsidized ride to work. It saves her considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Sue begins her work day. She has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Sue's employer pays these standards because Sue's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.

If Sue is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, she'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think she should lose her home because of her temporary misfortune.

It's noon and Sue needs to make a bank deposit so she can pay some bills. Sue's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Sue's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.

Sue has to pay her Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and her below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Sue and the government would be better off if she was educated and earned more money over her lifetime.

Sue is home from work. She plans to visit her father this evening at his farm home in the country. She gets in her car for the drive. Her car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards.

She arrives at her childhood home. Her generation was the third to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

She is happy to see her father, who is now retired. Her father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Sue wouldn't have to.

Sue gets back in her car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Sue enjoys throughout her day.
Sue agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm self-made and believe everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

Since when did MAGA MAGGOTS care about Palestinian Children? Israel has been killing them daily.

I see a couple of rightards have chimed in to note they don't believe the progressive policies that have made Americans' lives better are the truth, but lack the ability and guts to articulate a rebuttal. Certainly not uncommon on this thread.
I personally question the accuracy of "below-market federal student loans" but I suspect the conditions of changing interest rates vs the value of any education for some people is always debatable, especially with some.

8-Hour work day. 40-Hour week. Employer provided health and dental care. Pregnancy/bereavement leave. Paid vacation. Just to name a few.

Remember when they'd shoot Palestinian children suspected of throwing stones, and a few days later, they would apologize?
The good old days.

But I don't see how that post follows this thread

8-Hour work day. 40-Hour week. Employer provided health and dental care. Pregnancy/bereavement leave. Paid vacation. Just to name a few.

Clearly, those are all programs championed by liberals.
I can see how bigots might hate civil and women's rights, but still, maybe these pinheads don't actually get any of those benefits. We may never know.

Mostly it has to do with an electoral system that does no give people a proper choice, gives them almost no oversight, allows the rich to do whatever they want and the rich are manipulating the hell out of people, and it's so easy for them to do. They just throw money at it, and people follow like sheep.

Take a look at this forum. Almost all the people are fighting each other within the confines the rich have set. People don't talk about stopping the rich from controlling them.
