when you can't get past the parties, then what? they control the conversations and always have. It's why there's trump.In such a short post you've still been able to bring up a number of key issues.
The political correctness that the democratic party exercised for years finally came back to roost. To pitch everything as racism or offensive is why so many people voted for a man who addressed diversity in the most brass and negative way. Some may argue that it was necessary to elect him in order to shift the country back towards the middle.
I agree that the word racism has lost it's value because it has been misused, overused and abused. I think we are seeing first hand what racism really looks like in the past 6 or so years (within my life). The election of Trump was a necessary evil in order to right the country.
There are far more things wrong with our youth than being democrat. They are lazy and unmotivated but it's because they have nothing to fight for. The countries that inspire their youth generally promote patriotism through unity. Our country is promoting division which will be our country's downfall. Kids have heard the message "every man for himself". They don't ask how they can help the country, they ask how they can help themselves.
I agree and your post aligns with the premise of this thread.
The strategy of the Left has always been the same simple bullshit...Garner support for whacked-out shit by taking control of our youth by way of PC programming.
Take Mac1958 for example....he’s on this new kick and hell bent on pushing the new programming that if one is vocal with their condemnation of illegal wetbacks they are essentially “scared, paranoid and hateful”. Think about that; and make no mistake about it...he intends to program you believe that Americans have no right to sovereignty, that Mexico has a right to this land and that should you openly condemn such a thing you are a “paranoid, hateful racist”.
Think people!
I think both parties have their sins and their evils. As far as other posters here, I don't like to engage in personal criticisms. I wouldn't want it done to me. Every once in awhile I break this rule but for the most part I try to avoid it.
We have to start focusing on the policies and not the parties if we are going to find agreement between each other. I lean both ways depending on the issue. We may agree on this issue but not on others. I hope you'll give me the benefit of the doubt when you run across a post of mine you vehemently disagree with.
Forums like this one can help with that conversation but sadly its used more towards expanding the divide than talking about policies. I'm not sure where this false allegiance to party and party leaders has come from. They certainly do nothing for the majority of citizens. shrug
