I'm just remembering 2012 very vividly, and I think a significant portion of the GOP has essentially lost its mind.
My, that is a very specific, scientific and objective statement.
Any other pearls of wisdom to share today?
"The GOP is certifiably insane" - if that isnt an indicator of a Democratic Party hack, I dont think such a thing exists.
How do you imitate a Dem hack so well without being one? roflmao
And I suspect that the time I "used to be able to think for myself" coincided directly with positions I took with which you agreed.
.
Well, let me see my index of controversial issues that you might agree with me on.
I support Nordic Model Socialism. We will have no choice in the next twenty years or so; the voters will demand it as jobs dry up.
I support the Social Security Program and regard anyone that wants to end it as either ignorant to the point of stupidity or is simply a liar.
I support gun rights to empower the individual to be able to protect themselves. Guns have saved more womens lives over the last 50 years than a feminazi ever did.
I do not support Black Lies Matter as they are an violent group of Marxists. And I note that Hillary Rodham of the royal house Clinton does support them. Do you ever think about what that actually means? The USA will become Ferguson MO on a national scale, possibly.
I support reform of the ACA instead of abolishing it. It is helping millions of people who need health care to get it. It is worth saving but both parties need to work out the problems with it.
I support developing a moderate set of allies in Muslim areas in the Middle East, North Africa and Southern Asia instead of engaging in genocide against them.
I support lowering taxes on the Middle Class and removing the cap on Social Security for the upper income earners.
I favor enforcing our trade agreements against currency manipulation, product dumping or copyright infringement.
I support immigration reform that does not allow illegals to cut ahead in line in front of those trying to get here legally.
I support more investments in technological research and planning for the consequences of the Robotics Revolution.
I support a Universal Basic Income.
I support removing all state limits to health insurance or any other kind of insurance and introducing interstate competition among insurance companies.
I support further scientific research and technological development.
I agree with the Theory of Evolution from a theistic perspective.
I support the concept of case law and see it as an organic part of the Constitution until changed by an amendment.
I support the use of federal funds to help people in need when the state refuses to. This is consistent with the principle of Subsidiarity which was well known to the Founding Fathers.
I support gay rights except in regard to marriage (civil unions are fine, IMO), and I have not changed my mind on this topic for the last twenty five years.
I oppose racism in all races, and do not excuse it simply because it sometimes comes from a black or Hispanic mouth.
I support advanced education and think that state colleges and universities should have free tuition like the rest of the advanced industrial nations around the globe. It is an investment in the future generations of tax payers that pays itself back many times over.
I suspect we agree on more than we disagree on, but since I dont share your worshipful prostration to polls and the leaders of the Democratic Party, who seem to be mostly crooks, fools and morons these days, I am obviously an uneducated red neck.
But you are not being an ideologue, roflmao, I am just a brainless Trumper, lol.
