What's up with everyone?
Is it "Gang up on KN" day or something?
Not that it bothers me or anything, it's just that you guys really need to step it up. No you're just dead wrong.
Why is it that you assume I'm democratic when I say I'm all for equal human rights?
Because one party panders towards the discriminatory and one does not. Um...what?
Your political party system is completely different than mine. Also, I didn't state that you were liberal/democrat.
LG did.

You could do what us Texans would do if that ever happened here.
Toss the guy outside and make him wait at the back of the line....over and over and over again.

Quote: Gamora: I'm a warrior, an assassin. I don't dance.
Peter Quill: Really? Well, on my planet, we have a legend about people like you. It's called Footloose. And in it, a great hero, named Kevin Bacon, teaches an entire city full of people with sticks up their butts that, dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is.
Gamora: ...Who put the sticks up their butts?
Seems to be the theme the last couple of pages. Republicans are the bunch with sticks up their rears, and the Dems try to teach them the joys of dancing and music? Meh, I can dig it.
I wasn't even talking about the parties but sure if it fits why not.

The GOP is ***because it panders to the discriminatory, KN The liberal/democrats are ***because it panders to the discriminatory too.
I'm not going to deny that the GOP panders to the narrow viewpoints of certain people, mainly religious people.
But you cannot deny that the liberals/democrats does the exact same thing. As far as I know, the official democratic partly platform for 2016 is not calling for discrimination of a segment of American citizens. The GOP official platform is. Are you not understanding the difference?

This one sums up the election pretty well.

Not familiar with this, what are we talking about here? It's the liberal's wet fantasy that they imagine that only the GOP discriminates and not them.
Never mind that they discriminate against a group of people for being successful. Or because of the color of their skin. Or because of their viewpoints. They call them "deplorables."

Most people don't even know what true Racism or Discrimination even is anymore.

I really wish Clinton would stop calling herself the "winner" on her twitter...I mean, you are not supposed to tell that yourself, that's so lame lol. She is doing it to needle the Donald. Its long haul psych for the next debate.

Which is a good thing. The down side is we got self entitled Yahoo's who pull the victim card and act like they're being persecuted because of their outdated view points.

GOP minority outreach in action. False equivalence, empty accusations, and more "you're the real racist for pointing out racism". Works fine if you never want to see a Republican presidential ever again.

Bismarck.Josiahfk said: »Most people don't even know what true Racism or Discrimination even is anymore. that's because most people are white and don't have to deal with the same problems.
they will never know what it's like to be hated by your own people for looking half white,
and hated by the white majority for looking aboriginal.
I see you have been conditioned by the news too.

It's hard to not be dismissive when you have a new "Boy Who Cried Wolf" scenario every other week. The liberal playbook is to turn every conservative stance into something it's not. Do you promote the idea that we need to wean ourselves off of foreign oil? Well, then you're anti-environment. Pro-life? Anti-women. Pro religious freedom? Anti-gay. Pro national security? Anti-immigrant/racist.

To be fair both parties play the same ploy.
The past two decades we have made the headlines of elections be about non-existent problems while not focusing on the real issues at stake. Such as economical ones or foreign relations.
There are snippets here and there about them but for the most part they are grossly exaggerated or not address. The "National Debt" is a great example.
As for examples this years of non-issues - "Racism in the US" or how about the debate discussing Obama's birth certificate again.

Worse part is, we have all been conditioned for our whole lives to vote either left or right. I am no exception, I leaned right for many years because of how politics used my religion to condition my views.

To be fair both parties play the same ploy. Better not point that out. All the liberals go crazy if you say that their political party is equally guilty of doing the things they hate.
Like accusing Trump of supporting Iraq. Never mind that Clinton voted for the war, they have to attack Trump for an interview he made back in 2002.

As a nation who advocates citizens voting .... We most certainly do NOT as a nation advocate citizens voting. If we did voting day would be a national holiday or be held over a whole weekend, preferably a 3 day weekend.
Also citizens would be registered to vote at 18 when they register for the draft. Or instead of.
We might even require 4 years of citizenship classes. I'm all for all this.
Should expand it to a full week though. Like early voting in most states, but make it a week long starting on the first Tuesday after the first Monday and last for 7 days. On maters of civics and citizenship we almost always agree.
Part of why I often like individual republicans although I think the party sucks the big green weenie.

No idea why we didn't restart last week. Might as well now.
