Kind of cover that divide with a lot of intelligent writing not seen a lot around here and kind of shocked me. Are you a Libertarian?While I absolutely detest the racist Tigerred59, the issue regarding the GOP's treatment of Obama throughout his administration is, as they say, spot on. The GOP was consistent in two things when it came to Obama and that was, disrespect and blocking as much of what they could of Obama's goals. That being said, both the Democrats and the Republicans have a long standing history (almost since the founding of our nation) of opposing their opponents programs, sometimes very vehemently. Thus, expecting only civility between the opposing parties is a bit much to expect on a continual basis.You ever hear of a word called Karma.......for 8 long long fuckin years, you white mf's gave the Obama administration nothing but pure hell...from Fast and Furious to the Hillary fuckin emails, to Bengazi and beyond and over and over, year after year, you found nothing, absolutely nothing. Did the GOP stop and put a period behind the shit? Hell fuckin NO...you continued to undermine the Obama administration....8 fuckin years of hearings after hearings after hearings. 4 million wasted tax payer dollars that you white nuts so gravely love....4 million. Here we are less than 6 months into this Trump nightmare with scandal after scandal of a president suckin on Putins nuts and you have the nerve, the audasity to ask that question? Motherfucker please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Why the witch hunt ? If Democrats were to succeed in getting Trump impeached, what good would it do them ? If Pence became president, hardly a single policy set forth by Trump would change.
Illegal aliens would still be getting deported. Sanctuary cities would still be facing extinction. The Muslim ban would still be enacted – by a conservative SCOTUS (and more conservatives appointed to the SCOTUS). ISIS would still be under siege, and eventually exterminated. Nothing would change on gun policy.
IS there a single policy of the Trump administration (which Pence is a key part of) that would change ? And please don’t anyone spout off some pious rhetoric about doing the right thing – not when all Democrats ever say is “this may lead to that”, like Charlie Rose did this morning on CBS.
Come to think of it, if Pence became president, that could trigger some movement to the RIGHT wing. Infrastructure repair could get shelved, as well as Trump’s hard stand against outsourcing, just to cite 2 examples. Could Democrats just be spinning their wheels, if not shooting themselves in their feet ?
But, the ever growing divide between the two parties really stepped up decades ago, in the 60's with the "counter-culture" crowd (hippies, communes and alternate educational topics. Both parties lost track of more centrist ideals and instead, grew more and more to the extremes of their parties platforms.
We need to look back at what really made this nation the not only the world's superpower, but also, what drove millions across the planet to seek this nation out.
1. Resources.
2. Space to grow.
3. The promise of freedom to pursue your dreams.
4. No government or religious persecution.
5. Capitalism.
The US couldn't change what happened during its dark period (slavery, genocide). All nations across this globe had slavery (be they black, white, Asian, aboriginal) at some point. Genocide has also occurred throughout history, even into the 20th century. What the US did do, was recognize what it did, not hide it and grew from its mistakes. To this day, the US remains the leading power in the world and remains a beacon for those who seek a better life and are willing to be processed via legal means to enter for their goal of a better life.
