Random Political Thoughts

[21st Century Man]

Liberals conveniently forget that Hillary and Obama supported Robert Byrd a KKK grand wizard. And they also support Black Lives Matter a violent racist group that have killed police and others just for being white.

This reminds me of then they were trying to peg Ron Paul as being racist and it failed.

Al Gore

Just a good ol' boy.

Wouldn't it be funny to see McCain and Graham at a fundraising event for Cruz?  The two people in the Senate  that despise Cruz the most sucking up to him on the presidential campaign.  How rich!

Believe it or not, it is a possibility lol. Just the optics of that would be amazing. I would love to see it.

Have Marco Rubio's ears always been that big?

Been watching some CPAC live.  My God, those people are suckers for flag-snapping nonsense. Mention God and the Constitution in one sentence and they have a mass orgasm.

No wonder Trump skipped it - I'd skip that crap too.
Saw a thing on The Blaze about a vid of Keanu Reeves using AR's and shotguns and all the comments were gushing over how great a man Keanu is and how patriotic it was to see a Hollywood actor go against all the liberals. Never read a forum full of more idiots than The Blaze.

They've made Prophet Beck a very wealthy man for just disseminating drivel while emoting.

So people are stupid for embracing traditional American values.

Next, please.

What the hell kind of shit are the Colorado and North Dakota caucuses?  They don't vote and the delegates don't get pledged until the convention?  Maybe they can get away with that shit in Fargo but in Colorado?

As adults we owe it to ourselves and the world to develop a bit of introspection and try to analyze how our behavior is informed by programming.  Often religion and patriotism blind people from seeing the real world.  It's hard to fight those demons - and courageous, but that should be part of maturity. 

Many true believers could have been born into another religion in another country and would have felt just as strongly about their indoctrination.  Do you doubt for a moment that Russians do not feel the same fervor as you may about their country, or Muslims of their religion?  Do you think you would be smart or stupid, were you in their shoes?

Colorado had a fight with the GOP about whether their early primary would result in bound or unbound delegates. Romney's money screwed up Tancredo's senate campaign and the establishment pick lost the race in the general election. That state is in disarray. I can't say I understand all the intricacies, but yeah, it is a mess.

When I read Trump was talking about the size of his penis within the first ten minutes of the republican presidential debate I double checked to see if I was reading The Onion.

Nancy Reagan died and the 'progressives' reacted with hate- as expected.

Right, I am absolutely positive that if some "sacred cow" dies on the liberal/democratic side that everyone who associates themselves with Conservatism won't make negative and vile comments on social media.

Yep, you're probably right, KoKs, but the libs think they're morally superior and therefore justify their own negative behavior. Conservatives can be jerks, too, but are usually called out on it by other conservatives and the 'unbiased media'. The same media pretty much gives the libs a pass.

Scalia was often very dangerous to liberal thought, I can see them rejoicing at his departure, but Nancy was a First Lady who very obviously was devoted to her husband and had a very tough time (though not as much as most of us would) in baby sitting the guy through the end of his presidency and to his ultimate demise.  It seems really cheap to take shots of her.

Rock Hudson and G_d "Just Say No!".

Rock Hudson and G_d "Just Say No!".

I think she was the sort of woman who just followed her husband, biblically, the way a 'good' woman was supposed to, years back.  There was a time in which the greatest aspiration of any woman was to catch a good man and spend her life making him happy.  It fostered a sort of mindlessness, a giving over of your thoughts and ideologies to those of your husband. 

Yes, I was against her then, but I saw what she was through the behavior of my own mother.  I understood. 

If she pulled that stuff today, I'd say 'good riddance to bad garbage'.  It was horrible, what she did to Hudson, perhaps she sealed his death certificate, but I think she did it because of her husband and his persona and the residue of a brand of morality that people were told was godly.   

A woman was supposed to just be agreeable to her husband in those days.  It was one step up from slavery.  Most women did not work and were totally dependent on dad, just like the kids. 

Look at Andrea Yates, an extreme case of those religious beliefs.  Her doctor told her to have no more children, but her husband determined they'd have as many as God gave them, and dutifully, she obeyed him and ended up cracking and killing the kids.  Is that what God wanted? 

People justified slavery through the bible.  Even if you were not a religious person, that sort of anti-individual, anti-thought, anti-compassion mentality permeated society.  There are many people, even these days, who would relegate a women to the biological aspect of her being. 

Nancy was a product of her time.

That is entirely bias on your part. All people can be assholes, party distinction has nothing to do with it. To my mind, it is the ultra conservative right that believe themselves to be morally superior. So, in essence you as well as others, me included, cherry pick our information to make ourselves more correct than others. In almost every other way, you are one of the most concise thinkers on this forum, here you miss the boat.

You're right, onan, and I appreciate you calling me out when I do. True, I lean on the conservative side for the most part. I was reacting to the negativity of some in the general public. It's sad to see the level of civility decline as much as it has over the years. When you say ultra conservative right, the first person that comes to my mind is Glenn Beck and he is a good example of that brand of negativity. My memory of Nancy Reagan has faded over the years. I remember her 'just say no' campaign, her belief in astrology, and some of the AIDS controversy. Most of all she did seem devoted to her husband.

It's a shame that she had failed to help her friend, Rock Hudson, get one last chance for treatment and who knows if that decision stayed with her over the years. She did have to watch her husband die a slow death with a debilitating disease, if that makes those keeping score feel any better. Maybe those who need to see people punished can count that as her karma.

At any rate, I'm sure public figures from both sides will be respectful. It's too bad that so many people have become comfortable with hate on social media. Never missing a chance to say something mean spirited, push an agenda, or take delight in someone's pain. It's one trend I'd like to see disappear, but chances of that are slim to none.

This is depressing. Any American who can't answer this question should be stripped of their right to vote, IMHO.

I confess that I have not kept up, reading here, but does anyone think the Scalia death is a bit strange?  How can they determine cause of death with no autopsy?  There is probably someone writing a book about it right at this moment - someone who will do the radio show route several months from now.

Wouldn't put it past O'Reilly to have his ghosts working on "Killing Scalia" at this moment.

[Lt.Uhura]

I'm remote viewing (ok...well, second-guessing) GOP insiders as they scramble behind the scenes to come up with a worthy candidate for the General Election. 

There is increasing pressure for Rubio to drop out of the race, leaving Trump, Cruz, and Kasich at a distant third.  BUT......let's say Trump suddenly quits (I still believe he will), and the hated-by-his-own-party Cruz is essentially all that's left.  In this scenario, longshot Kasich (especially if he does well in Ohio 3/15) starts to look better.  The momentum now shifts toward Gov Kasich (backed by big $$ donors) toward the last stretch of the primaries, with the brokered convention still a possibility being suggested.  Taking Trump out of the pack would certainly be a game changer. 

Wish we still had the the wisdom and talent of a great seer like Carnac the Magnificent  {{sigh}}
