So instead of embracing diversity and growing their base - these idiots are doubling down on domestic terrorism and inciting a civil war by proactively alienating and erasing blacks, women, LGTBQ, and anyone who doesn’t suck the BIG LIE.Cannot agree. I don't see real moderate conservatives as being anti Lgtbq, or anti woman, or anti black. Extremers...yes but not majority. But it is easy to be anti certain culture norms like drug, gangs, anti family etc

What would you say the percentage of conservatives are white?
Not sure what a conservative is today. If you say conservative, today it is an extreme position of anti abortion, guns, immigration, dictatorship dreams, lies,
With little time for social issues. If it is fical conservative, I would say whites, asians are 55 45 split. Many poor whites were once dems, today many if them changed teams as issues become more extreme. Blacks would be 25, 75 fiscal conservatives, and Hispanics similar percentage. IMHO. No source except perception.

Bill your choices are not even set up correct, each one is from an extreme leftist viewpoint. You think gun rights cost minorities their rights? You think that climate change will be solved by politicians? You think people are either for social programs or for a balanced budget? The fact that think you think these are opinions from the middle is why leftist whackos are dominating the Democrat party. A normal person wants minorites to have every right I do in every way, a balanced budget that takes care of the most vulnerable with efficiency, and politicians are not enriched by "climate change" when they don't actually help at all
No gun rights is a right wing fight to keep.nra.
No leftist wants a balanced budget, just spend.
Leftist politicians think they can solve the climate issue, through legislation and taxes, right wing believes this is wrong.
Seriously....THINK. I asked, when did extremes take over both parties, even in Canada. Who is middle of the road? NOBODY with power. They are owned by extremes! When and why.Was Reagan the last Pres to be Prez for all citizens.
Trump hates dems. Dems hate repubs.
Same in Canada. I cannot even vote for conservative party because of extreme views and voting for libs is impossible because they think taxes and legislation solve every problem redistribution of others wealth.
Oh well, I tried to be clear but English to American it gets lost.
3 hours ago, SoCal Deek said:It isn’t complicated. Conservative leaning people want to see things stay as they are. Progressive leaning people are generally interested in seeing things change. It’s been the same for decades. What’s happening now (in my opinion) is that the progressives are getting into some areas that were historically not considered even up for debate and conservatives are saying ‘what now’? I’m sure the same debate raged over topics that our grandparents would’ve never thought possible. Roll with it.
In Canada the party was actually called progressive conservatives. In Ontario they ruled for 40+ years. Controlled the middle and we flourished

So only whites are conservatives?

This is incandescent blather, Bill, and while you're free to drink the hate-infused Kool Aid, you have no right to ask others to drink it along with you.
The first step to restoring sanity to the middle is to recognize where you, personally, stand...and it doesn't seem to be where you think based on this gem.
Why is this not balanced. Religion vs abortion rights. Social programs vs tax cuts. Gun rights vs minority rights. Climate Change vs no climate issues. Seems that is the break down thru political lines. Hate-filled? Don't think so.
Just asking...when did the extremes start counting more than the middle. In Canada it started with Trudeau Sr. and went down hill from there. Now we have a flippin carbon tax.
In US I believe with Clinton and Bush2. Why? What happened that those of us in the middle now are forced to chose only one of 2 extremes. All leaders seem to have to kiss up to extremes. Is it money? Are party politics so strong that moderates have no chance. Reagan could not get the nomination today.
Remember when Hubert Humfrie was considered extreme. WTF HAPPENED ?
In the 60s neither Biden or Trump would be a nominee. No way Obama would be elected in 60s, and nothing to domeuth race. He was unqualified, untested.
Hmmmm.
Guess when you think my post is extreme that says something in itself.

I do not recall that MLK dominated Kenndy the way the extreme left of AOC types do today. I don't recall Nixon bowing to the gun lobby or white supremacist as the GOP does today. When did this start? Clinton...quite possible, Bush 2, very likely.
Why? Money and campaign finance reforms?
Why does a President feel obligated to the extremes. No gun lobby is going to vote for the dems. No immigration supporter or left activist would ever vote for GOP.
Nobody wants the middle of the country anymore? Why?
By the way, Canada is no different. Where taxes and government spending was the main differences in parties in Canada, it is now religion, immigration, civil rights, free stuff.
How toes the country take back power from extremes, to govern for all.

Is Trump becoming a total isolationist, or is Vladdy just a friend?
Hard to belive the GOP, who for decades believed communists were evil, could not be allowed to spread anywhere (Korea, Vietnam) and certainly not in our hemisphere (Cuba, Panama,), now support getting out of NATO and allowing spread of Communism. Wow, who is writing this bad movie. The greatest democracy the world has ever seen is moving to help dictators.

So Biden would defend Taiwan if China invades, but not Ukraine. WTF is this talk. According to NY POST

I think it’s fair to say that men, generally, are very understanding of comments where one guy compares himself to a figure of legendary, almost mythical, historical significance, and that comparison is not made in jest.
One of my friends is a workout maniac, when he calls himself “…the new Schwarzenegger” most of us think, well, you’re 5’9 and 185 pounds, have seagull legs and sound like you’re from Topeka, but yeah, of course, you’re like twins!
We need more undxrstanding on the baseball diamond, because that’s as real as life gets.
Right, so would your friend take a swing at you if you said, hey Arnold, let's get some beer and wings tonight...

Donaldson-Anderson
What is racist about Josh D calling Anderson Jackie. Anderson referred to himself as the new Jackie Robinson. Should Donaldson called him Mickey or Yogi, or Sandy after other greats. The fact that Jackie R was one of the greats makes this racist???
If I called myself the next John Kennedy should I be surprised that others would tease me.
This is backwards, puts back the idea of racist and adds fuel to the right.
For 100 years teasing in baseball to put off the other team has taken place. Shoe laces are undone, you got dirt on your face, your hat is not straight, rusty gate swing, do you need a bushel basket to the catch with, plus a million other references to past players. Umps have been blind forever, Yogism are part of baseball. You run like Mickey Rivers not Mickey Mantle. Seriously.
Maybe I don't get this one. To me this is an activist getting news coverage and the press, even the Post, giving it.
This is no Kapernek moment. IMHO
The Wokes will use any excuse, and too many are fearful to call them out.

Praised for staying peaceful ? . Wow. Some zit-faced lone wolf loser of a teen strolls into town and shoots up a store full of innocent people shopping. He’s immediately apprehended and won’t see a day of freedom again. While the most justified outcome for the shooter would have been getting pumped full of 100 rounds of lead by the Police (being the coward that he is he turned his weapon on himself) he now must be dealt with alive. Perhaps the death penalty will be applied here? No matter how heinous the crime, we must maintain our civility. It’s expected in orderly society, not singled out for praise.
True, but what is wrong with recognizing people who responded in peace and sorrow rather than like so many others who took the opportunity to loot.
It shows this is a fine community. Good folks. Not controlled by gangs and drugs. I would be proud to call any if them friends. Thanks to Bruuuuce, Sharpton, Thurman, Andre, Josh and many others for offering their love.

Dems voting in Republican primaries is what is wrong with their party.

I wish I could recall the article, but I read that this guy was bolstered by the Democrats because they believe he would be easier to defeat in the election because he was on the capital ground on 1/6. Guess we will see if they gambled correctly.
Democrats are some slimy pieces of trash to manipulate in this way, then act like it's going to ruin the republic.
Give me evidence of Trump being a fascist.
Look, it's vote counting. Just have everyone put a bullet in the pail painted red or blue. You cannot trust Chinese chip makers to be honest in voting machines.
Then import people from Switzerland to count bullets. Seems easy to me. You get an honest count and nobody from Switzerland wants to remain in US so no border issues.

I'm not sure I get your point. Russians don't kill Ukrainians with handguns because close quarters combat is not an ideal attack strategy during an invasion. If you want to limit casualties you will bomb from a distance and then only after the threat is mostly eliminated will you send in ground troops to secure the area. I don't think it has anything to do with power or boldness it's just military strategy. If this guy wanted to kill minorities he would do it with a pump shotgun, a car, a sword, a baseball bat, a knife, whatever he could get his hands on. His AR-15 was already banned by NY state and that clearly didn't stop him
Your point was he could use a shotgun and do the same damage. My point is I know that but big weapons give these nuts a sense of power that smaller guns don't. And these events are about power and hate.

That nutjob could go to Tops with a pump shotgun and shoot 10 people easy. Most pumps are 5+1 and then pretty quick to reload. I don't see how that would solve anything unfortunately, especially what happened in this situation
The gun type is about power, and hate, and spells success for these nuts.
Your simple view is ridiculous, and fails to even consider reality.
Russia can kill Ukrainians with hand guns, but they are much bolder with powerful weapons, n-bombs, chems, tanks etc

Based on the lack of love he gets from fans in Clev and his ex teammates I surmise there is a slight personality problem.
If you are great like A Rodgers you can be abrasive and get by. If you are a wannabe you have to show a drastic change to be a success.
Mayfield had some success, but hardly enough to be arrogant about, or demanding about.
He was crowned by the national media when they began to refer to him only as Baker, his head swelled. Aaron Rodgers doesn't get Aaron only. Patrick Mahommes doesn't get called just Patrick. Von Miller doesn't get just Von in national headlines.
Mayfield image was created before he developed. Now he has a job to become a player not an image. Maybe he knows how to work, maybe not.
At this point he is a started on only a few teams...if his head is right.

Even if he's cut 18.8M is 23rd in the league as far as QB salaries in 2022. I can understand if teams don't want to give draft picks but he might actually get more in the open market if he's released. I'd have to think that both Seattle and Carolina would have interest, maybe even Atlanta.
Appreciate your opinion, but I see no leadership in him and limited ability. No team would do this to a valued player/leader. " Something is afoot here Watson"!
-
So, do teams not like Mayfields ability, or he is just such a jerk like Manziel was.
Imagine if it's personality how bad he really is, they took a rusk on Watson rather than him!
Looks like Mayfield may have started his last game

Do any of the documents quote the Bible?
No
You just don't understand the country you live in
You need to stop suggesting the Bible or Christianity have some special place, or other religions will demand and receive equality through challenges. Then you will have to live with Sharia Law etc.

So we agree here. At some point the country realized that it needed to clarify and correct that Liberty applied to all people….including blacks. Now, it’s apparently time to make another clarification and reinforce that Life applies to every life, including the yet born.
1 hellava point SoCal, but what is the moment? Morning after, heart beat, brain development, sperm finds a home, ??
Not suggesting you have the answer but a definition between abortion and murder needs clarity.

2 hours ago, Doc Brown said:
Public opinion doesn't (or at least shouldn't matter) in Supreme Court decisions. The SCOTUS isn't "picking this back up." They finally have the numbers that allow them to overturn what many legal scholars (including those that are pro choice) as bad constitutional law. There's nothing in the constitution that prohibits state governments from making abortion laws.
What this does do is allow people the freedom to vote for representatives that best reflect their views on abortion and politicians can finally do something about it. This should be a net positive in this country in the long run.
The problem begins Doc with the types of laws like Texas who want to punish someone for assisting a citizen to go to another state for the procedure even a mother or father of brother. It is equally nuts that organizations exists to encourage and help someone get an abortion. The extremes are sick!
When did extremes of the political parties begin to dominate and why?
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits

Ok BT. I am not trying to tell you anything. Only asking the question. Extreme political positions and extremists have taken over the politics of US and Canada. Why. What was the catalyst. Campaign finance? Why are leaders listening to these extremes? We know that any member of NRA is never voting dem. So why worry about pleasing them if you are republican? Is it money?
As I said, Reagan could not get elected today...he was too middle ground, he did try to govern for all citizens. Not possible today.
