Well there's that but there's also the other side of the coin, aside from every proposal that Trump has put forth which are mostly not achievable. We also have the comment by Carlt "Baby Parts" Fiorina and the other GOP candidates whom are trying to reopen a debate that was closed for more people. The crap that has been said about Mexicans and Muslims, the race issues with Black life matters, talks about carpet bombing innocents in Syria, Jeb Bush said over the weekend that Democrats lure black people to support them with the promise of “free stuff.” ,Ted Cruz has unequivocally stoked the flames of hate versus the LGBT community with his recent remarks that the gay activists are waging a “jihad” against “people of faith who respect the biblical teaching that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.”, Ben Carson said a Muslim should never be president, etc, etc.
We could debate the degree to which all of these statement are more hate fueled but the point stands that it has been bad all around.
American obviously feel there is a lot on the line this election and I shudder to think where things go once it comes time for either side to back up all this crap. Someone, somewhere is going to be very pissed.
It's a two-way street. Ted Cruz' comment about the LGBT 'jihad' against people of faith is substantiated when the bastards deliberately go looking for Christian business-owners and demand that these people serve them at a gay wedding. Why aren't they doing the same thing with Muslims if they're so interested in making everyone kiss their collective asses?
And they wonder why people are not interested in talking to them anymore.
I loved the article I saw on another site where a Christian woman who makes quilts to benefit a Christian women's shelter had two women who demanded that she make them a Rainbow flag quilt. She said she'd make it so long as they didn't mind it being draped over their caskets. When the two lesbians filed a complaint they were told to get lost because the woman in question has never taken custom orders anyway.
But nice try.
The cake case in Oregon turned vicious when the administrative judge assessed a $135,000 fine against the bakers and then constructed the penalty to force the bakers to have to sell their personal home (and not their business) to satisfy the fine. The actual law requires the business to satisfy the fine, but who cares about the law when there's an agenda to advance? The vindictive bastards want their pound of flesh.
The admin judge now has to avoid public appearances because there are very legitimate threats against his life. Myself, I'm hoping someone nails the SOB and makes an example out of him. Really, if he doesn't care about the law if it impedes his agenda then the law doesn't matter when it comes to
stopping his agenda. If someone ever gets to him and they get arrested I'll be donating to their defense fund for sure. If I get on the jury...even better.
Ben Carson is right that a Muslim should not be President of the USA nor should a practicing Muslim lead any nation that's supposed to be secular while simultaneously holding to a belief that Islam must dominate all other religions and beliefs. Likewise I don't believe
Ben Carson is fit to be President because his
particular Seventh Day Adventist beliefs would necessarily and detrimentally color his decisions and judgment. I agree with much of what he says but I also believe that at his core the guy's a loon.
Jeb Bush is right that the Democrats lure black people to vote Democrat with promises of free stuff. When the Democrats in the 1960's adopted a strategy of using the promise of the welfare state to buy black votes it was none other than
Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson who said, and I quote:
$1:
I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years!
Your objection to what Bush said is an example of people like yourself trying to stop other people from speaking
an abundantly demonstrable truth because it offends you. Your being offended by that truth doesn't change the fact of what Bush said. Not in the least. It just pisses off other people who know that what Bush said can be easily and thoroughly substantiated.
A lot of the 'crap' that's been said of Mexicans is often times sourced to Mexicans themselves. The media doesn't like to tell you that in California that fourth and fifth generation Americans of Mexican descent vote conservative regardless of their party affiliation. You think any of the GOP field are rude about Mexicans, then you ought to hear a farmer from Imperial County (California) dish on illegal immigrants. These guys often want the illegals shot down at the border, hunted with dogs, and those are the nicer guys. You'd be shocked at how well Trump is actually doing with Hispanics.
This Univision poll was pretty telling.
http://d8fq3kbmxxf6p.cloudfront.net/the ... AMANDI.pdfThe big number they announced from this was that 79% of Hispanics didn't support Trump. What they didn't tell you from their poll was that while 16% of respondents said they were Republican it was 21% of them that supported Trump and said they'd consider voting for him.
That means a good number of registered Democrats who are Hispanic are willing to vote for Trump over any Democrat. In the 2008 election those same people mostly voted for Obama. It looks like seven years of Obama convinced them to support Trump.
They're tired of the bullshit, too.
In fairness, Mexicans also like a
macho man and some of them refer to Trump as
El Jefe (The Chief) which is generally a compliment in Mexican culture. They might oppose his politics but they'll support him because he comes off like a man and not a pathetic, dickless eunuch like Jeb Bush (not that I hold any opinions about Jeb
). That's garnering Trump some Hispanic support, too.
Not that you'll hear this from the liberal media who would like you to think that 100% of Mexicans and blacks hinge on the words of rich elitist white liberals.
At the end of all of this is the commonly accepted conclusion that Obama has been such a 'miracle' over the past seven years that a GOP victory next November is almost a given. The only way a Democrat will win next year is with a plurality like Clinton did in 1992 when the GOP vote split between Bush and Perot. Meaning that if the GOP pulls some dirty tricks to cheat Trump of the nomination (if he gets the votes) then Trump will likely run 3rd party and the Democrats will obtain another four years in the White House.
It will also absolutely mean the end of the GOP.
If you think the vitriol is bad between left and right you ought to hear the veritable poison being spat between the conservative Republicans and the Democrat wing of the GOP. If 2016 means a Democrat President because the GOP Establishment refuses to support Trump then the civil war in the GOP is going to draw very real blood.
Conservatives might not care for the left but we don't blame them for being who they are. We are far less forgiving of traitors.
And if that particular shooting war starts up then it will inevitably spread.
Because people are angry enough to do it.
That said, I just hope the election sorts itself out in a manner that everyone considers fair so we don't have an exciting time this time next year.
