I like Trump, but something bothers me big time.

    Bush and Biden. Bore and the Boor. Now that out to send attendance at the polls into a nose dive.
    Bush representing the aristocracy and Biden representing ... let me think about this...Sexists?

    On a serious note Biden was chosen as a balance and vote getter and like most in a long long line of #2's not for his abilities or capabilities in the #1 spot. I give it 51 Bush 49 Biden from the lesser of two evils - ends justifies the means crowd - and another argument over hanging chads and why does electoral win over popular. Unless Obeyme uses executive powers to overturn the chad count.

    Lesser of two evils is self explanatory or should be it's fo r the people who support evil.

    Ends justifies the means is when you go to war to defend what you are as a nation but abandon all morals, values and principles in order to win and in the end are left with defeat to matter who won or lost.

    Best example is our present situation. Foreign Terrorists 1 Home Grown Terrorists 1 USA -2

    I am leaning towards thinking the Democratic Party candidate will be Biden. The repub candidate will be bush. Repubs and the media hate trump and I can't see them backing him. If trump splits to 3 rd party, Biden will be next president. Sanders is too vocal about being socialist to win, and Hilary's campaign is dead at this point.

    Another example

    "According to a new Franklin Pierce/Boston Herald poll, Clinton is losing to opponent Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire by seven points. Not only is this a surge, but it's outside the margin of error."

    Bernie Sanders whose true political beliefs are to the left of the Democrats (Independent has all sorts of meanings) and left wing socialist Statist and practicing smiley faced fascist Hillary are the best the left has to offer.

    Unless they have some DINOs hiding in the woodpile. What's a DINO? Depends on which direction your going. But neither of them is anywhere near the Constitution as the Center.

    Red Bernie (Bear) and the Wicked Witch of the Left.

    Now there's another mystery solved by proper definiitions. Red is the world wide color for Communism. and socialist extremists. Republicans embraced the title of Red Nation. Democrats as Blue? Great mis-direction. Neither of the two chose Red, White and Blue

    Getting awful lonely over here in the Center. But I'll stick to my Constitutional Oath.

    the left. those that believe or support government controlling citizens.

    the center - those that see the need for a mix of both but do so following the constitution. with the constitution as the center.

    the right those that believe and support citizens in control of government.

    The definition of center according to the left is the center of the left currently with the Republican Party as it's right wing.

    Leftist extremists Communists Nazis Secular Progressives

    Right wing extremists - Anarchists.

    Amazing how clear things become when you don't give in to the definitions of the left.

    Where did I get that from? History prior to the redefinitions of the socialist revolution of the 1900's. All they had to do was move the sign post to the left of the Constitution and then keep repeating.

    In case you wonder why the Republicans keep caving. They aren't. They are leftists with some at best claiming to be centrist.

    An easy example. Why would Madonna an avowed leftist lionize Evita Peron supposedly a right wing fascist and make her a heroine of the left? Answer. Evita Peron was part of the right wing of the left Madonna an icon wannabe from the left wing -of the left. Common belief -Government over people.

    Remember George Carlin's comments on Smiley Faced left wing Fascists?

    Fascism can be used almost anywhere in the spectrum be it political or religious or corporate or the public schools. All it means is government control by any and all means. One never finds it with a strong belief in government control of citizens.

    Three parts of the left? Corporatist Socialists (really big business) , Statist Socialists (government), Union leaders. That developed by Mussolini supposedly a right winger. He was having switched from the left wing of the left to the right wing of the left. International to national socialism another way of putting it.

    Governments which are indistinguishable from religion - the islamics? Left wing fascists.

    Liberals as as a term amuse me. Liberal means make change fast. Conservative meant make change slowly. Todays modern left wing socialist fascists such as Democrats and Republicans but especially the Democrats are we want it all we want now speed demons until entrenched when the suddenly become conservative. especially for changing back to something like Constitutional Amendments instead of rigged lawsuits, hand selected judges, or executive orders.

    Just to keep it all together the definition of fascist economics is socialist economics with a thin patina of capitalism heavily controlled by government.

    Definitions are a wonderful useful tool - IF- they are correct.

    Still going to support the left? Maybe as an individual who still has one foot planted in the center but the party itself is left wing socialist fascist and so are it's suipporters.

    Why?

    Fear is as good a reason as any. After all fear is the economic standard why not the political standard.

    I am not a fan of the left at all. I just think that to get people in general here to not want statism, they have to experience the failure of it without it being hidden. Trump would bring to light what is currently hidden. I really don't know if he could reverse the path the country is on.

    One percent COLA is both an insult and a sop.

    Its a sop to people collecting social security so that DC can point to it and say "we ARE giving you a cost of living increase"
    Its an insult on multiple levels, anyone aware of the state of economy knows that 1% as an inflation match is a lie. Its an insult to the unaware because the government is basically saying they are too stupid to realize it.

    There is, along with not voting, the option of "casting a blank" - not voting on that race. There is always, buried somewhere in the results numbers, a figure that gives the number of ballots cast which you can compare with the number of votes for sw,y,z,f. So someone at least knows that happens. ^ ^

    Trump doesn't give a hoot about manufacturing, nor know anything about it. His know-how is in real estate and entertainment, and he's king of the cronyists. I'm surprised somebody like Rand Paul hasn't taken the opportunity to name the highlights of Trump's career as exactly the kind of cronyism the law needs to prevent if it's ever going to regain its honor in the eyes of the average American.

    As long as you offer reasoned comments, and post items which bring about spirited discussion, you will earn those. But they aren't necessarily what one strives for, for their own sake.

    We can't do worse than Obama or Hillary. Maybe Ben Carson would be ok. The rest of them are all political manipulator s that can't be trusted. I would be ok at this point to have no president, but at least trump is going to tell it like it is. He isn't stupid and wouldn't start a nuclear war

    I admit I was wrong to ask. And I am getting points. I'm a registered Libertarian, an Ayn Rand-er for 40 years now, read just about everything she ever wrote including The Objectist Newletter, (I have about 2 years of saved issues). I read Atlas Shrugged 3 times so far. By far my favorite book. I was so happy to find Ayn Rand in my early twenties and I agree with her on most things. I do, however, believe in God. I have only found a deep appreciation of beauty, creation, and a connection through my belief in God. It has never been a negative in my life. I have found these things in my readings of Ayn Rand also. I'm very happy to be a member of Galt's Gulch.... Andrea

    You are right. I reread what you wrote before and I was wrong. Thank you for the good advice.

    I have no doubt that Trump can't be trusted with the nuclear button, nor with the executive order. He is a monarch not a 'public servant.' His priority is always Donald, and that is a recipe for disaster in a POTUS as we have already seen repeatedly. POTUS is not a job for someone who obviously enjoys wielding great power for personal benefit. It's a job for someone who can accomplish things with very limited power, and is driven to reduce the power of central government and the looters that corrupt it. That does not describe Trump or any of the candidates for POTUS with the possible exception of Ben Carson (who unfortunately believes in gun control.)

    Government meddling (corporate welfare and political corruption) started much earlier, but the first big 'success' was achieved by Abe Lincoln with the tariff that caused the death of 500,000 American soldiers, destroyed states rights, and made serfs of the previously sovereign people. That opened the door to the corruption that is common today. It took 50 years before the banksters bribed their way into creation and control of the federal reserve banking cartel. Since that time the slope down has grown steeper with every election. Looters are in and outside of government and both the Dems and GOP are under looter control.

    Um, I don't understand why you think that here, of all places, you would receive something for nothing. Do you understand the basic premise of objectivism, at all? Have you read Atlas Shrugged, yet came away without the smallest understanding of the value of something earned, and not mooched? Do you know the oath, and deeply and truly know what it means? How it resonates with every aspect of a life lived by the use of one's OWN mind and effort?
    I think you have landed in a place where you have not yet learned the language or the culture.

    I agree with Winterwind. If enough people find value in your post or comments, you will earn points. What you are asking for is altruism, which is rare here. You need to earn.

    Why is is so important that you can vote? Check your premise.

    Recent reports of China setting up textile mill production in NC or SC 'because it's cheaper here' have surfaced, per my predictions of a few years back.
    When the cotton is spun into thread, it's shipped back to Asia to be woven into products for export.
    That, too, will change as living standards and wages 'there' rise, as they have over the past decades.
    Everyone assumes the trends are linear, infinite and irreversible. And that's just stupid.

    I did not mean to insult you.
    But it sounds as if you want something for nothing, and in a site devoted to Objectivism, that is odd.

    I'm curious. I re-read what I said. What did you find insulting? I will try to make it clear if I can.
