row_33 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 ———— some argue there is really only one Party, the rich and powerful who control all politics and the civil service and the media. They pretend there is a diff to make things interesting for common people, but it’s always the same old thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that when she won her primary she openly declared that she won her seat. If anything, she doesn't understand that Republicans also compete in elections, though maybe not in her district Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition she wanted to know why there was only one chair per committee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 As I said on the previous page; They do not judge on ideas. They do not judge on competency or experience. They judge on gender and race. And why just racial and gender diversity? Thank God I was not raised like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the really sad part is this is setting the bar for presidential behavior. I suspect the next president whoever it is, might very well do the same. This is what the social media and twitterization of our society has resulted in (among other things) IMHO. I see no reason to think it will get better anytime soon regardless of who the prez is going forward. Trump is an iconoclast. You mean to say that after the Left’s decrying and denying for decades the validity of the middle class’s railing against sex, violence, murder, gunfights, sociopathic behaviors, macabre sexual fetishes on TV, the movies, music, theatre and the arts, because they were having a damaging effect on society, that NOW there are actually people who believe that what is said and how it is said in the public forum can have a deleterious modifying effect on our societal behaviors? Zut Alors! All I can offer is the response we heard for all those decades: No one is forcing you to watch it. If you don’t want you or your children to hear or see it - change the channel. 5 hours ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: Considering the tactic she used to get her seat is called primarying, I would hope she knows about primaries.

I'm not sure what this has to do with what I was talking about. I said nothing of movie censorship etc. And as an American citizen that WILL stay informed regardless of who the Prez is, I really DON'T have a choice unless I choose to be uninformed. Is that what you are suggesting? That I bury my head in the sand if I don't like what the President of the United States says? Really? I wonder what Thomas Jefferson would think of your idea.

Nanker Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 You don’t like his tone or messaging style. Fine. Deal with it. That’s what the Left’s mantra has been for decades to people who believe the discourse/moral values/societal fabric was being torn asunder. Now we we have a “Republican” POTUS who is iconoclastic and the Left is SUDDENLY concerned about decorum. After what the Left has brought this culture to, it laughable. Just plain laughable.

Was it "the Left" that called Marco Rubio "Little Marco" or Elizabeth Warren "Pocohantes" for example? "the Left" aren't saints either. I never said they were. Doesn't excuse Donald's behavior however. He's a flaming narcissist displaying classic narcissistic behavior and always has. "the Left" had nothing to do with it. He is what he is.

Try this on in order to get a better idea of what the Left has to do with it. Go to msn.com home page. Make sure you navigate to their "news". Scroll down and look at all of the negative slant on the headlines. They could pick up an article from a conservative writer that was labeled "Trump Cures Almost All Cancer" and they would re-headline it as "Trump Fails To Cure All Cancer".
