Democratic Debate

[ddeacon1]

First off...I am sorry that I will not get back that 150 minutes of my life. As you can imagine, with the exception of Jim Webb, all the candidates would like to revamp the entire system of obtaining and maintaining firearms. O'Malley even had the gall to bring up the case in Colorado that the family lost their case against Lucky Gunner for selling the Aurora shooter the ammunition. Even though the family was in the audience, I am surprised that CNN did not pan back them for effect.

All I can say is there are some mindless individuals in this world. The people in that audience are scary! Every mention of taking from some to cover slackers and they go wild!

The lying and the pandering by everyone of them except Webb and Sanders is mind blowing. At least Sanders says exactly where he will take the money to pay for his free **** fest.

It is amazing how they cite every other country in the world for us to be like, and discount that every other country in the world wants to be like us. They discount that all these Utopian places are in chaos because of the free **** programs gone awry. They are really delusional! They actually believe the economy is fixed, that the Dumbass is doing a good job, and that the answer to all the problems is to just give more people free ****.

Sanders is right about one thing; if he stirs up enough discontent (atop the lies), with these stupid under 30's, they will change the place even further.

I sit here and think to myself; this is all insane! On both sides! This is where we are.

I wonder what America will look like in 25 years...

I can only hope in 25 years, that I'm rich enough to buy a private island and move away from the progressive hippies.

This one was particularly scary to me! The call for more spending on education! If these people are really serious and believe this (which they don't; or can't possibly); how do they get away with glaring over the fact that the US is spending more on education than every other modernized nation combined?

And Anderson Cooper knows this! How do you not challenge this crap unless you are in on it? How can anyone look into the camera and just demand more spending on a system that is so corrupted by unions, because of the unholy alliance with democrats in the first place.

And sidestepping the responsibility of the breeders to stay with their offspring to guide them and teach them right from wrong in the home in the first place is down right dishonest!

It's insane!

Kind of a shame that now, the American dream is only a vehicle to try to get away from other Americans.

It's why a nutcase like Bernie Sanders gets crowds. He's a f**king Socialist for Christ's sake! Gaining political traction in America! And other than open minded people, no one is really discussing how utterly sad and pathetic that is!

If I was a bazillionaire using Wall Street to make my money, I would at least be keeping an eye on this guy and the crap he says. He is resonating with the idiots; and there are a lot of them!

In my findings, there are as many Wall Street bazillionaires, that supports those wackos, as there are 18 year old hippie types living off the government.

I play pool a lot, and in the pool world there are two types of people. The people that gamble to survive and the people that gamble for fun. Obviously the people gambling for fun have the money to do so, and they are usually doing well in life and financially. On the other hand, the people gambling to survive are usually living in their cars or on government money. Those people will tell you that they don't want a job, because they are living the dream to become a professional pool player (which really has no money in it, unless you gamble or win everything).

My point is, there are people in all walks of life, since the dawn of time, that want to live the dream and use everyone else to get there. Whether it be the person making his new mixtape living on welfare or the kid using his college education grant money to buy alcohol and drugs, they are a problem. It's the lack of responsibility and the governments need to try to make everything better. As the old saying goes, "You can't fix stupid."

Here's a good example. A guy, that I went to high school with, was given a full ride scholarship to a local University. He was an honor student, had a high GPA, and scored very well on his ACT exam. His parents were so proud of him, that they bought him a brand new Z06 as a graduation present. I had stopped by the university one day and his name was brought up in a conversation. Apparently he had spent all of his money on drugs and alcohol, totaled his Corvette, and dropped out of school. In my opinion, he should enjoy his life of flipping burgers the rest of his life, because he had it all and blew it. He is the same kind of person that cries, because life it tough. It's a joke.

To the OP, it's funny how Democrats have become less and less Democratic throughout history. The Democrats of yesteryear would have the Democrats of today hanged for treason.

Bazillionares that support them, are also funding them! I call those bazillionares puppet masters! They are hedging their bets for their existence! And as Trump said on many occasions; he had given money to both sides to maintain his influence too!

BTW: Crazy Bernie, said last night he is not taking money from big business, lobbyist, super-PACs, etc. So, he too, is trying to generate a grass roots revolution against the big money campaign machines.

My point, and my concern; is that this country is so ignorant now, they are easily influenced by smoke and mirrors. I have been a political junkie for a long time, and I can confidently tell you; it is a lot easier to con this citizenry now than just 10 years ago. Just take the gun control debate! Look how easily they talk about dismantling an Amendment to the Constitution? And not an Amendment that was introduced in the last 100 years; a founding Amendment specifically created to ensure and protect the others.

Clinton said again last night; she does not believe that the 2nd Amendment guarantees individuals the Right to keep and bear arms! You can't get any more brazen than that.

This is my theory:
Liberalism is a mental disorder that involves a lust for control. They control by preying on emotions.
Just like the girl with 5 kids, 5 different daddies, no husband, and no job; I bet every man told you he loved you, and look where that got you.

That is the argument liberals' are using. The second amendment "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." was created because we didn't have adequate national forces to protect ourselves, therefore we needed a "well regulated Militia". The argument is that since we now have a well armed and organized military, we no longer need a "well regulated Militia". They argue that the second amendment was intended as meaning "people" have a right to keep and bear arms only as a group or "well regulated Militia" and it was NOT intended for individual rights, but more as a group right (whatever that means). To sum it up, the liberals are saying "the second amendment is obsolete, we can take care of you... Now give us your guns". The thing that these liberals don't understand is that the second amendment was created because it is "necessary to the security of a free State" not only from foreign invaders, but also from tyrannical, overreaching government. However if you bring up this fact, liberals will scorn you as a unreasonable, illogical, delusional, paranoid fanatic that is completely detached from reality.

Even worse they attribute the belief of individual rights to bear arms to modern firearm industry influence on national politics through the NRA etc. as if they just invented this belief only to increase sales of firearms. Its comical really.

Here is mine:

The simplest equation known is 1+1=2.

Broken down politically it reads; (1) Ignorant and uneducated morons that happen to be able to vote, (+) courted by, (1) Manipulative power hungry thieves, (=) A perpetual cycle of haves and have nots.

As American society descends further into a detached virtual reality; these very real manipulators can more easily use the inattention to take control over them. The mindless will aide them willingly! These politicians know exactly what they are doing and how they are gong to do it. Does any fair minded, intelligent individual believe for a millisecond that Hillary Clinton gives a rats ass about the phony liberal cause? About anyone but herself? That she cares about blacks? About poverty? About woman? Most laughably; about climate change? She is, in all likely hood, personally responsible for the deaths of Americans in Benghazi. She has already broken federal law regarding the illegal storage of govt. docs on a private server; yet they all laugh it off. This woman may well be the phoniest politician that I have ever seen; and I have seen, and met, a **** ton!

I agree that liberalism is mental disorder! But not for these politicians. It is a vehicle for them. A tool, if you will. The truly sick people are those in the electorate that buy into this horseshit. And it's no different on the conservative side either. However, a case and argument could be made that individuals that side with conservatism have more on the ball and more skin in the reality game, than the vast majority of your everyday idiot with a (D) on their voter registration card.

Don't make that mistake! They cannot erase history now! Believe me, if they could! They would!The writings of the Founders leading up to the creation of the Constitution was very clear why the 2nd was there. But if your Common Core curriculum doesn't teach Colonial US history any more, you can just make up new reasons for those who choose to listen to your versions of what and why.

Not once did my kids have or hear ANY mention of the 2nd Amendment in their very brief lessons of Colonial history from Ascension Parish public schools. NOT ONCE! A mistake? Not a chance!

There was a study released yesterday that found 60% of all new college students admit they aren't emotionally capable or prepared for college, which I think we can agree is the first "adult" part of life.

These are the same kids moving to the polls people. No wonder they favor liberal and socialistic ideals. They still need/want someone else to take care of them.

Ive said it before, and here again... Conservatives will need a Obama like turnout to win. The type of people form the poll above are the ones voting in mass.

I'd have to see what organization published this study. That seems high to me.

I'm sure it was some low end institute... it was a 10 min news story. But aren't polls the all seeing eyes? LOL
