Ok, but at least Queen Victoria had a few good qualities.

I have to say that with all this manipulation going on with the politics and media, its hard to actually figure out what is correct and not correct in terms of facts. We are left to try and translate internally what these people are saying and come to our own conclusions (which may not actually reflect all the facts, if they were known). I am finding I dont listen to the media and the politicians, but always look for the hidden agendas behind them. I conclude things which might not be 100% accurate sometimes, but I have to go with things the way I see them.

I think Snowden is more of a hero than a felon. Same thing with Manning. I think Putin kept Snowden just to tweek Obama, whom he has NO respect for, but I am glad he did what he did. Hopefully, snowden will magically get some sort of citizenship or permanent residency before a new president takes over.

should state "I oppose government provided free education,college, food for all or anyone" and then defend the position.

I would gladly say that. Especially since government doesnt supply anything- it just steals from the ones who have worked for it and gives it to others. I am tired of working so that others dont have to.

I guess I'm suggesting that we ought to call people on it when they misuse terms or leave them undefined. This is particularly true in the political context. Ideas and the words used to convey them have consequences. Instead of declaring the words meaningless we ought to fight back with clarity.

That is indeed part of the problem, the whole equation has shifted left.

My point is not in the standard accepted manings of terms and words. The issue is that the environment it exists in does not use it with any definition. It is a nebulous usage now that has a purely emotional component, and is just for raising tension. It is not the same as the way we would use it in this forum. That is the difference with people who actually think, and those that just manipulate.

Racism, unfortunately, has often been employed to inflict much more harm than "separation." The term is not "meaningless" unless it is not defined and used according to its definition. If you think the word is being used loosely then call the speaker on it by demanding that he or she define the term being employed.

A term has no meaning unless you define it. I agree that many people use the term racist without defining it. That does not mean you cannot define the term and then apply it in appropriate circumstances.

Come on, they have always assumed they are royalty. HillaryBeast is a perfect model for Queen Victoria.

We are screwed, like all serfs.

Hmm reminds me of some riots we had a while back, where some "angry mobs" did things they were never held to account for, and turned out a bunch were indeed bused in for the show. Our political system is full of dangerous people with no regard for anyone but the party and their fat asses.

No, it is also not available to other groups except by special fiat awarded by another special group. No one seems to think scholarship programs only open to blacks is racist. Nor for "Native Americans". Everyone can justify any special treatment with any number of perceived wrongs. That is just as racist as not letting them ride a bus. Trump gets it because the Dumbocraps find it useful and it can vaguely fit his illegal immigrant stance. It is also applied any time someone ever mentions controlling the borders. It is, in essence, pure BS.

I would disagree. The fundamental meaning was to discriminate and restrict based on color, even shades. It also was equally done to Irish, Polish and other ethnic groups in the past, but was never called that. Now it has become just another hot button term with no meaning, just emotional power.

Racist used to describe pure seperation based on color only. Now it is a generic political term bandied about if you say anything about anyone that someone else disagrees with. It is essentially meaningless. The culture qualifier may have merit. I try to look at whether a person or affiliated group threatens me with physical harm, or financial burden for deciding whether I am offended by them. If I am offended, I will say so, irregardless of race. That is not racist. This is a core issue with the Dumbocraps who only seek to manipulate people who can be programmed to respond to single words. It works, it worked great in the riots last year and before. Doesn't mean it is true though.

That has been a past definition of democracy. The average sheeple is unable to self govern an empty garbage can, let alone a country, Thus the mess we have.

Please then, explain why it says The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." I do agree on what the feds are for, and the majority rule position was almost intentionally built in, if not described. That is probably part of the problem, while a politician is supposed to represent their constituents, our system intentional leaves out those who are not favored by party machine behind him, thus disenfranchising someone all the time. The current structure has only exacerbated it.

Indeed. She has amassed a huge list of things that marks her as "unreliable" and "conceited, arrogant, self centered'. Could never vote for that...

The Snowden thing was more about open government than anything else. We got burned badly in the 40s by Russia and went into overdrive with classifying everything including how many times the President pees. That has led to a covert state that supports security for any price, vice adopting a quiet position of strength. He basically flipped off the whole system, which reacted as it did. Trump seems to still have a foot in the pool. My guess is the rest do too, so he will still be toast.

The establishment will not realize or admit that things will change. The "Government for sale" is coming to an end, if not then we might as well forget it and let it implode. This election is our last chance. Trump was shut down in Chicago tonight by what was probably hired thugs, an old Chicago trick to shut down the opposition. What would be the outcry if that were pulled at a Hilliary event or Heaven forbid an obama event? Trump will be the one blamed and not the hired thugs. If it were not Trump they would be doing the same thing to Cruz. I pray for our country to return to its senses and what made it great. A strong belief in God, small government and the individual. We are at the crossroads.

Again...
