The American Way of Life

[YDB95]

Note that although the right was deeply disappointed (and did not hide the fact) when Obama was elected twice, there were no crying fests, histrionics of various sorts from us.

Apparently you and I were in different parallel universes for those eight years.

Very possible.

Hey, I'm sure somebody, somewhere, can dig up a youtube clip of a righty ranting about the evils of Obama. There certainly were plenty of bloggers complaining about each of his laughably "transparent" (look it up - he promised the more transparent presidency EVER) actions.

What you won't find much of are the incessant meltdowns we see every DAY with Trump. Here included.

There is a guy here that hates Trump so much he posts a weekly thread counting each of the 416 weeks of his presidency, with much wailing and lamenting.

And this is a PORN site, not even a political discussion thread. (exaggeration for effect - some of the writing here is quite good)

The public meltdowns simply didn't happen under Obama. We have too much self respect to make such spectacles of ourselves.

Individual rights that "progressive" folks want GONE.

I love how they think there is nothing anti-American about that either.

Yeah, no. I am not imagining the years of questioning Obama's citizenship and his faith, or the 40+ votes to overturn Obamacare, or stealing the Supreme Court seat, or Moscow Mitch openly vowing to do everything he could to prevent Obama from accomplishing anything, or the countless racist memes and jokes ("can we still call it the White House?"), or the people who genuinely believed Obama had paid staffers at the border handing out cash and health insurance to illegal immigrants, or the spike in gun sales because people thought he was going to ban all guns (look it up, he never said any such thing), not to mention Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi.

Well, you've got me there. Rush Limbaugh did not count the days of the Obama administration and call it "America held hostage". That was the Clinton administration.

And this is a PORN site, not even a political discussion thread. (exaggeration for effect - some of the writing here is quite good)

Politics is everywhere, and there was plenty of it here during the Obama years as well.

Eh, you're right. Which Democratic member of Congress was it who yelled "You lie!" at Trump while he was addressing the House? I remember it drew condemnations from members from both parties, and quite rightly so. You'd never have seen that during the Obama years.

Oh! Now I remember! It was Rep. Joe Wilson, R-SC, but it wasn't Trump he yelled at, it was Obama.

You can come up with instances, sure, but the noise level of lefty nut bags losing their heads is through the roof. The People as a whole did not do this to Obama. Not even to Clinton, the only president in my lifetime to actually BE impeached.

Has it occurred to you that the "noise level" just didn't seem so high to you back when you agreed with it? That's basic psychology.

Sure. Even true to a degree. But I am told the same thing by people that are far more moderate than I am.

One could be far more moderate than you and still be quite conservative.

Not as conservative as you think. I do believe in "personal responsibility" and "leave people alone to live as they please". The republicans invade my life to a lesser extent than the democrats, so I tend to support them Usually. I actually had no problem with Bill C getting a hummer from that intern. I was jealous, actually. His wifey, though - I don't like her. That's just showing good taste, not taking "sides".

Always of target

Did you see the look on the interpreters face when trump said that Italy and USA had been allies since the time of the Roman republic. Um... Not quite you fucking moron.

In any event he clearly forgot WWII. USA was committed to the total destruction of fascism through that period. I guess trump regards that as someone else's war that USA should not have become involved in.

The above post is a nice example of how Trump bashing blinds people from being able to focus. That is why it is called "blind hate." If you look at the thread you will see it has nothing to do with Trump or Italy. But somehow, no matter what the topic really is, Trump bashers default to what appears to be their only thought... destroy Trump.

Ironically this tragic condition also illustrates that values in the USA have eroded. Historically whenever leaders have infused their followers with hate it erodes human values. It was the real cause of world war two... a mindless war fueled by mindless hate.

If you find yourself obsessed with hate I recommend that you relax and masturbate. It will help you get your mind on a different topic.

I didn't agree with it, I'm a liberal democrat, an Obama voter.

The left has turned sharply left and lost it's fucking shit....total emotional incontinence, total abandonment of US values.

Conservatism is just wanting to keep things the way they are, keep tradition alive.

Considering in the USA that means liberalism, he should take that as a compliment.

Who the fuck wants to be moderately authoritarian? Religious nut jobs and anti-American socialist/fascist of every flavor.

Good post, it amplifies the reality of the peoples choice in electing their Government. The choice of the people's will is executed at the election booth, which in turn is the proof of the post.

I wonder what will transpire in 2020, and who here posting in this thread, (no matter which side of the spectrum your from) will do and say...chuckles.

I can tell you what will happen. If Trump wins a second term there will be rioting in the streets. BB's right, the left has gone off the rails, so far off that moderate democrats appear right leaning. I'd be happy to see a moderate democratic party, maybe get something done. Nancy pelosi has to ware depends for fear of shitting her pants she's so afraid of the lunes.

The unbearable wrongness of William Barr

Last month, in what Jeffrey Toobin called “the worst speech given by an Attorney General of the United States in modern history,” Attorney General William Barr offered a lecture at Notre Dame Law School in which he denounced secularism as a “social pathology” that destroys the “moral order.” After blaming secularists for a host of contemporary problems — including depression, drug overdosing, and violence — Barr explained that without belief in a “transcendent Supreme Being” and adherence to “God’s eternal law,” the “possibility of any healthy community life crumbles.” Unless we follow “God’s instruction manual,” he sermonized, there will be “real-world consequences for man and society” — consequences that are not pretty, but quite grim. For without religion, there can be no “moral culture” and society will inevitably fall prey to humanity’s “capacity for great evil.”

If Billy is so set on "God's Way" why is he fucking around with the Law? Shouldn't he be in the pulpit spouting his religion? Clergy do not have a monopoly on ethics, many have none!

Well from what I have seen in the Political Boards, and others places, I predict riots in the street, no matter who wins 2020.

I honestly hope so.

The Declaration of Independence was special pleading to justify revolt against a legitimate government. It was intended to make the American Revolution acceptable to foreign governments who were not Britain's allies.

It also appealed to many in Britain who felt that Americans were being unfairly treated. Unfortunately they did not have enough power to change the British government's policy.

The Declaration of Independence was successful in its limited objective - justifying revolution. But it was and is not a legal document like the US Constitution.

The ultimate justification of the Declaration of Independence was the successful war against the British. Once that war was won, the Declaration of Independence became an interesting historical document but nothing else.

Not true, If Warren or any other lune wins we'll continue to go to work and conduct our lives with dignity. You won't see liberals or conservatives on inauguration day calling for impeachment. The right has its share of fucktards but for the most part they'll be ignored. The right leaning media won't bash a president 24/7 like the left stream media does. Before Trump I used to enjoy watching Joe and Mika, not anymore.

I guess we have something in common. (the poking, not the ukulele). Democrats are fun to poke too.
