    Liberals should not be seen as the other party but as the anti-American party opposed to the basic principles of our constitution

    The GOP then was a party of hyper patriotism

    So it's your position that anyone who holds a liberal position on any issue is an anti-American. So if an American Citizen likes clean water and clean air - according to you they are "anti-American". If an American soldier who happens to be gay marries his or her partner - according to you, they are anti-American. If a fireman who saved the lives of 10 people is a union member - according to you, he is anti-American ...

    Well, then this American Citizen would like to give a one finger salute and tell you where you may place your "anti-American" bull ****.

    Wasn't it Bush who pushed through the Patriot Act? That act included government snooping on the population without a warrant, indefinite jail for terrorism suspects without a fair trial, and torture. Also Republicans support allowing the DEA to seize money and property from people suspected to be involved in drugs without an actual trial or conviction and no due process to have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property returned. Trump is also a big supporter of eminent domain where the government forces people out of their provide property and forces a purchase. America has always been a land of immigration which Republicans want to limit and restrict. The founders believe in a separation of church and state, something Republicans want to reduce. The Founders were also in favor of small volunteer militias instead of a standing army and non-interventionism while Republicans want increased military size and a more aggressive foreign policy. Republican presidents tend to start a lot more wars, and without congressional approval which is unconstitutional.

    Democrats also have big differences from the founders but the reality is that neither party is anything the founders envisioned and we are a very different country. If you want a party that supports the real principals of the constitution, become a libertarian.

    Ummmm . . . both happened. Remember that it wasn't only a room full of face-book using Russian nerds but that Hillary Clinton paid many, many millions of dollars to Steele who worked for the Russians who concocted a phony dossier on Trump and she then saw to it that it went directly into Trump-hating RINO hands and into the hands of her and Obama's politically corrupted FBI upper level hierarchy; and so both happened.

    That's the irony, Bernie was never intended to become a serious political rival to Hillary and his political ascendency took him and Hillary and the DNC by surprise. Bernie was working for Hillary but had to make it look like he wasn't.
    The Patriot Act that Democratic politicians eagerly voted for?

    I agree, aside from a few, Americans are clueless as to how things work. On occasion I take the opportunity to explain the petro-dollar system to people.

    "You conspiracy theorist"....are the looks I get.

    It seems that all the Russians did what post Facebook threads. OTOH the Obama admin committed crimes.

    Which was worse.

    They are deeply invested in their alternative facts.

    They need them because they can't make a fact based argument.

    Russians. A foreign power that has been an political and military rival to the United States for nearly a century.

    Liberals. Americans who see the injustices in our society and want to fix them for the betterment of all.

    Not a hard choice to make.

    One involves suborning the interests of your own country to foreigers.

    That's the choice you're making.............

    At least you said it straight out. Trumpsters have been parroting the Kremlin's line on this forum on and off for four years now, and being dishonest about it every step of the way.
