    It's not about what's "not" in Rice's email. It's about everything that's in it, Susan Rice was aware of Flynn's investigation, even as she testified the opposite to Congress.

    I watched the entirety. Like I keep pointing out, conservatives are really big on trying to pretend liberals are other than they are. Spend a lot of trying to demonize liberals. But we never hear conservatives telling us the wonderful things about conservatives. Conservatives could be pointing out that everywhere conservative politics rule, life is so much better than elsewhere, the people are wealthier, healthier, and smarter and the crime is very low. But we don't. Do you know why? Because it is not true.

    On just about every metric, of the top ten, nine are blue, and of the bottom ten, nine are red. Typically there is twice the economic activity in a blue district than a red one. For the average person, there is no advantage to living in a red state under the leadership of Republicans. Simple as that.

    Interesting, kinda has a eugenics sort of flavor. Do you also believe birth determines sexual orientation?

    I live in Illinois, a State that's been under the control of liberal Democrats for decades. The State is going bankrupt. The State's biggest city, Chicago, which is also run by Democrats, is a crime-ridden, debt-ridden, poverty-stricken cesspool that is in constant disrepair. Its taxes are astronomically high, yet the public services are mediocre at best. It's pretty much the same in every other major urban Democratic stronghold. So while urban Democrats may have some artistic and intelligent people in their ranks, it hasn't translated into political success. Just the opposite in fact. Democratic governance is a almost a universal disaster. Meanwhile, conservative States like Texas and Florida are attracting people and businesses from all over the country.

    I mostly post on this forum to hear how conservatives think. Sure I can listen to the crackpots like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin. But I wonder, do people really fall for the horsepoop these people dish out on a regular basis. I mean really. Turns out, do they ever! Some really get into it, live their lives by it.

    Kind of reminds me of the time my adolescent daughter wanted to go to a Jesus festival because one of her friends from school had invited her. It wasn't too long and the phone was ringing, "Dad, come and get me, the people here are absolutely crazy! They are insane, you have to come and get me! Hurry!"

    So I repeated something that turned out to not be true, I now know better and will never say it again. However you seen to have no other business around here then to yuck it up with your pretended one up man ship. I'm not trying to better you. I am studying you. That is what liberals do. We study things and we learn. I'll bet right this very second, there are doctoral candidates all over America who are working on a thesis centered around the behavior and thoughts of Trump supporters.

    I mean, have you tried to have a conversation with me, or are you just interested in picking a fight?


    So when I am hanging out with my friends and someone says, "What kind of person could support Trump?" I can clue them in.

    So what have you done with your life, besides stand on the corner and go yuck, yuck as the cars go by?

    News flash ... If you actually want to have a serious conversation with others, you must first set the stage, something you are horrible at, just look at your arrogant and smarmy air of liberal "superiority" you based your entire thread on. Pretty much partisan flamebaiting, 100%. You cant entertain a single point of view, outside the box you imagine the world lives in. Intolerant, and full of self righteousness and so certain only your ideas are worthy of entertaining. You dont talk to people so much as you talk down to them, "study" that observation. As for your last sentence/question, what's it to you? Am I seeking details of your life, while underhandedly and arrogantly, insulting you? Be liberal, take that high road on that high horse.

    Sucks to be you but I have never lived in a city with crumbling infrastructure. Every place that I have lived has been quite liberal, and the crime rate has been much lower than the national average.

    If the Illinois crime rate isn't good enough for you, you can always take a trip down through the Bible belt Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana, all dark red, and all more crime ridden.

    Chicago, LA, New York, Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland, all cesspools, all racing towards financial oblivion, all run by Democrats.

    I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

    As for me, I'm thinking Fort Meyers in Florida. It's nice to know they have a competent governor who avoided killing thousands of grandmas, unlike Cuomo.

    Not far away, land in rural Desoto county and the county seat, is a good bargain and the coast is not that far away. Cost of living and taxes is much cheaper. For a while, I told the Mrs that Fort Myers was "Florida's Chicago" on account of gang related shootings. One can reasonably assume, what part of town, most happen in.

    You'll have to give me a tour of the area sometime. Make sure it's far away from liberal idiots.

    What does imcrementalism mean??? One thing at a time. Bit here and a bit there instead of all at once.

    Hopefully by reading posts from others, mainly Conservatives, you will learn that telling lies isn't the best way to converse or have a respectful debate.

    By the way, you weren't born liberal. Just an FYI that even in your short comment, you couldn't help but tell another lie.

    Define Socialism - what do you mean by a little here and a little there - if not "Partial ownership" rather than full ownership. ? If you can't figure out what you are talking about - how is anyone else ?

    Spouting meaningless phrases "a bit here and a bit there" - is not an argument for anything. A bit of what here and there. What on earth are you talking about. What Socialist Policy are you referring to that will be implemented incrementally ?

    LOL. Communist.

    How silly can one be. :roflol::roflol::roflol:
    You didn't even bother to show how the southern people were not conservative.
    But went into attack mode only.

    I accept your defeat.

    Dismissed.

    Sorry to keep having to educate you but sometimes I guess it doesn't take the first time so lessons keep need to keep being repeated.

    https://www.prageru.com/video/the-inconvenient-truth-about-the-democratic-party/

    Maybe you can scream "racist, racist, racist" but that would be the echo chamber you live in, ceratinly not me and almost all Conservatives. :)

    Since you have no facts and no real arguement, here is your eduction for today. Try to read carefully and to shrug off the CNN fake news you have been swallowing all these years. Hopefully you have stayed far away from Tide Pods and maybe even bleach. lol

    Since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major civil rights initiative, including abolishing slavery.

    The Democratic Party fought against the abolition of slavery, instigated the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, participated in and promoted lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the mid-20th century.

    The Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party, established to stop the spread of slavery into the new Western territories and ultimately abolish it altogether.
    The Ku Klux Klan was formed by southern Democrats to keep African Americans and Republicans out of political power.

    The KKK was an organization formed by southern Democrats in order to keep African Americans and Republicans out of political power.

    Which political party defended slavery, started the Civil War, founded the Ku Klux Klan, and imposed segregation? The Democratic Party.

    The Democratic Party fought against the abolition of slavery, instigated the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, participated in and promoted lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the mid-20th century.

    The problem with your argument is that someone who doesn’t want Roe vWade overturned or wants to decriminalize marijuana is a “conservative” if we apply logic to your premise.

    No I mean you take over one industry at a time, or just take bigger and bigger bites of that industry until you've got it all. No one in the west currently does socialism any more. Not that what they do is any better in the end.

    Now you are repeating what I told you previously - I agree that no one in the west does socialism according to your 100% rule

    So then what are you complaining about - Bernie Sanders and that crowd are not calling for the Gov't to take over all industry - or any industry for that matter - so you are complaining about a problem that doesn't exist - because your definition is so wonky.

    I for one do not like the Gov't stealing so much of my money - for the collective pot. You apparently have no problem with this - because this does not fit into your definition of "Socialism".

    By using your timeline, are you finally going to embrace your party's Klan history and racism? Or are you just going to cherry pick and look foolish?

    My problem with Bernie? That's easy what we are doing is worse in terms of human freedom. Because you get all of the negative consequences of socialism while the government gets to dodge accountability for its bad policies blaming them on the business community.
