Posts: 2560Not necessarily Chris. If you've got a big nose that's been broken a couple of times those diapers can work to your advantage.

Posts: 2560You've got a point. Our venerable Democrat posters certainly aren't making the distinction.

The countries/territories with the highest homicide rates are the USA Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Lesotho, and Trinidad and Tobago. If you spend a little time with Google, you'll see these countries have strict gun laws.
What do they have in common? Well, like Mississippi and Alabama, they have a history of extreme oppression and repression, of treating some of their people reprehensibly. In Mississippi and Alabama, the Democratic Party, which admittedly is much more enlightened than it was many years ago, enabled this treatment.
Taking a look at the other countries with high homicide rates, Honduras is the only one I see that doesn't have reasonably strict gun control laws.
PVMonger, if you would qualify your analysis to treat handguns separately from long guns, we might have more room for agreement. Except that now the cat's out of the bag. There are probably more handguns in America than their are Americans. The price of that Saturday night special's not going from $50 to $1000.

Posts: 406Caucasus
If it weren't for Caucasus Hillary would have beat Obama in the primaries. They are anything but democracy in action. Another thing is I heard that Hillary people were arrogant and Obama's people were very personable and so Hillary didn't get support or enthusiasm from local Democratic organizations. Obama had virtually no experience but what he did have was an excellent education in Constitutional Law. Doubtful Republicans can find a qualified person to run, there just aren't any.

Posts: 2560Kicking Obama in 2012 out of the running (yeah, four years prior experience is probably the best preparation to be POTUS), the best qualified candidates in general elections in 2008/20012/2016 were Mitt Romney and Gary Johnson. Both had experience running states and businesses. Both were uniters, Republicans who served as governors in blue states. I'd put Hillary at #3. Obama in 2008 would be neck and neck with Trump in 2016 as the worst qualified, both behind McCain, even though he's a neocon.

The negatives would be that she would not have lessened the regulatory burden on businesses, we would have been less likely to lower the corporate tax rate, and perhaps vaccines wouldn't have gone into peoples arms as quickly. I'm being a little iffy here because Hillary Clinton, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell working together might have done good thinks, like Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich. Bill, unlike many Democratic politicians, recognized the wisdom of cutting the capital gains tax rate, and perhaps Hillary would have viewed our corporate tax rate, then the highest in the developed world, similarly. And yes Hillary would have used the presidential bully pulpit more effectively than Trump during COVID. Would we have been better prepared for the pandemic, as you undoubtedly believe? Perhaps marginally, but not enough to make a difference.
The biggest positive is that I don't think we'd be looking at a public debt of 100% of GDP if Hillary had won. A Republican House and Democratic president historically have been the best combination for controlling spending. Trump, Biden, and a Democratic Congress, despite the moderating influence of Senate Republicans before 2021, spent like drunken sailors.
Trump was bad for the Republican Party. Back in 2016 he was threatening to run as an independent if he wasn't chosen as the Party's nominee, despite a pledge he signed in 2015 to do exactly the opposite. Republicans suffered in elections in 2018, 2020 and 2022 because of Trump's influence. I believe the Republican Party would be much stronger today if Hillary had won in 2016, after we suffered through the recession caused by the Hillary Clinton Pandemic. A strong Republican Party is better for the USA.

The way and the force with which he was hit means he was already seriously if not fatally wounded.
Not even mentioning that the suspect had a BB gun when he approached the cyclist before stabbing him.
But hey, keep at it why don't you. Don't let the truth to stay in a way of your mission.

Posts: 1045Yup. It's always a slippery slope with the globohomo agenda.

Not only must you not give these anti-white, anti-American SOBs an inch, you must actively push back against their nefarious agenda. The 1965 Immigration Act was clearly passed under false pretenses, so a review of the citizenship of its beneficiaries would be a good place to start.

Posts: 1045If this was the other way round, it would be blazed all over the fake news media for weeks. There would be somber, serious newscasts, tearful speeches on The View, a hollywood miniseries, and Kamala Harris would attend the funeral and support the inevitable riots and looting.

This is how the fake news media prefer to operate: by lies of omission. They just refuse to report anything that doesn't support the woke leftist globohomo agenda, and create the impression that it never happened.

You arent an American so it wasnt directed at you per se, but in your case it probably is, "You hate us because you aint us".

In the case of the others that hate America and are from there its more they hate it because they are losers and instead of looking in the mirror.

Posts: 1604You need to use different terms
Remember that from the 1860's until about 1965, the Democratic Party was "conservative" and the Republican Party was "liberal". About 1965, after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, virtually all southern Democrats changed parties. https://www.history.com/news/how-the...mocratic-south and https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallp...blican-redoubt and many other sources too numerous to mention.

Posts: 1604Here's why
We don't "define" men and women because when we do, we get douches asking idiotic questions like "Then why can't you define them?" Or douches making idiotic statements like "Trannies are mentally ill".

Posts: 1945Can you define what "anti american" is? Is it simply any POV that differs from urs?
