    The pain of watching a once-great nation get taken over by these ghouls would be worse than living in Peru.

    Say goodbye to freedom of speech "if you can't directly vote for a person, you can't donate to them. Period. Say goodbye to unions and PAC's..."

    All of these schemes evade the role of what people think, and the necessity of changing that to change an outcome for the course of the nation.

    Would you have rather had Hillary? I was looking at real estate in Central America just before the election because I was sure she was going to win. I didn't vote. My vote doesn't count in California...

    Cognitive Dissonance will challenge the ability to use the Venuzuela example.

    today's dollar is worth less than $.03 of the 1913 dollar when the Fed was created...legalized theft...

    owning a gun or guns will not matter if you are not organized with a support group (MAG-mutual assistance group)...where everyone comes to the open assistance of any individual of the group threatened with confiscation and imprisionment...

    I think its interesting that if your gold goes up in value, capital gains tax must be paid, but if your dollars you have saved depreciate in value, you cant subtract the decline in value from your taxes.

    As to guns, its very hard for the government currently to prove you still own a gun, since you can sell it privately without registering that you sold it. They will have to put that regulation in first. Maybe best to prepare a bill of sale NOW showing that you sold it, but just hold onto that piecee of paper in case they pass some registration requirement on private sales later..

    I applaud your ability to change their thinking. I would have to say that a democrat suffers from emotion vs reason decision making, and their emotional conclusions arent reachable by arguments based on reason.
    I hope that the situation in venezuela will show emotional democrats that no matter how they "feel" for the people of venezuela, they would see that it was socialism that brought them to their current situation, as it always does.

    I'd like to see it tried. You would think that the cretins would decide that since there are so many of us that it wouldn't be worth it, but then they are cretins, so who knows

    Oh, that is definitely an issue where there isn’t common ground.

    I was speaking of personal conversations. I regularly meet people who identify with Democrats, but fail to see how making things mandatory is a problem. It isn’t usually that hard to get them off the mandatory kick

    Superlatively said. A reminder: The POTUS & VPOTUS votes are by the members of the Electoral College. I agree with the return to the original idea.

    How about only real individuals (persons) may purchase political advertisements. Abolish the purchase of political advertising by artificial persons or agents of either real or artificial persons.

    Convention of States, anyone?

    The dems have already come for our guns. Needing to register them with the government was the first step. Next is to require that all registrants turn in their guns voluntarily to avoid some heavy duty tax or being put on a terrorist list restricting their freedoms. Remember that FDR required the turning in of all GOLD during the 1930's at an artificially low price so he could upvalue gold after the government got it all.

    Sorry for being ambiguous. I means all we are really left with is to vote the leftist bastards out.

    interesting. I was really commenting on the political stalemate that we currently face, and how its NOT going away until the government can no longer take from one and give to another.

    I am not implying that the dems CAN realy FIX anything. What they will do is increase government control and expropriation of wealth from the producers. THAT, they are good at.

    It would take an amendment (or two), but I believe it could be done.

    The first would be to revise the Twelfth Amendment and eliminate party-line voting for President and Vice-President. Return the vote to its original idea: that the highest vote-getter becomes President and second-highest becomes Vice-President. That's really the only way a third party becomes viable.

    The second is a campaign finance-type law which says that only voter-aged, legal citizens may contribute money towards political campaigns - and that only within their respective voting district, i.e. if you can't directly vote for a person, you can't donate to them. Period. Say goodbye to unions and PAC's - including national political party committees. I think it would also eliminate these ridiculous fund-raising mandates coming from parties in order to get put in as a Committee Chair.

    Great Day in the Morning! That is a terrible line-up you posted. I sampled CNN a few minutes ago, and decided we weren't on the same page.

    Just drop all the will-never-show-up-in-court "asylum seekers" into Chevy Chase MD, Alexandria VA, and Portola Valley CA. There would suddenly be a lot of screaming from the Demshevik politicians to block immigration.
    Alternatively, dump them all in Minot, North Dakota to welcome them to the real US, which is not Honduras with free stuff. It's Honduras that doesn't speak any Spanish, but has cold white stuff on the ground for 5+ months each year.
