The two largest threats to our liberty are life-long appointed judges and bureaucrats. That's because neither are held accountable for their actions.
The biggest threat to liberty is the Republican and Democrat parties.
Oh, that and complete and utter ignorance from a large section of the voters, but then this is, in part, due to the Republican and Democratic Parties and the system that keeps them in place.
There is no "system." Parties are capable of forming and being part of our election process. In fact, many on the left blame the third party for Hillary's defeat.
However, most voters do not vote third party. That's not a system, that's a choice people make.
You know who was responsible for Hillary's defeat? Hillary Clinton. If she was a good candidate, Johnson and Stein wouldn't have had votes.
I know I'm preaching to the choir, but it had to be said. I am so sick of Clinton blaming everyone else for her failure. To their credit, few liberals are buying it.
Now if we could only get the Trump supporters to STFU about Clinton (who is totally irrelevant now), then we'd be going places.
Correct, but one of the traits people like about Trump is his aggressiveness to people that attack him first. Hil-liar recently stated that we have a sexual predator in the White House. Trump has every right to point out that the biggest sexual predator to occupy the White House was her husband......who she defended.
If you leave Trump alone, he will leave you alone. If you try to hit Trump, Trump will hit back twice as hard. And I applaud his responses.
It depends on your priorities. Trump frequently distracts from his own agenda whenever he goes on some silly tirade against the NFL or starts feuding with someone on Twitter. If all you care about is sticking it to the liberals, then by all means, "hit back". If you care more about making a real difference, maybe just let the petty stuff slide off and stop derailing the conversation into these ridiculous tangents and childish keyboard commando brawls.
I totally disagree with that. One of the most aggravating things about politics (for me) is when a representative gets attacked and they cower in a corner somewhere. They try to backpedal or have their experts create a politically correct response if that.
Take note that Trump is winning the NFL controversy. Ratings are down even with Monday Night football. Stadiums that were always packed now have empty seats. I don't think disrespecting our flag or anthem is a petty thing.
Trump can make his comments while at the same time, trying to change the country. Our borders have never been less violated than before. He created 25 additional deportation courts and plans on another additional 25. He is trying to work with Democrats on the healthcare situation. He reversed hundreds of job killing regulations and DumBama's policy that schools accommodate weirdos who want to get into dressing rooms and showers of our female children in school. He is working on simplifying our tax code. These are not petty things.
