    It was started by Reagan and expanded by every President Since. I know its hard to be honest as a Conservative, but you could try.

    It's incredible that people just don't get it. Yes, trump is an arrogant prick. So what? Just look at the damage that's been done to the image of the US by butt kissing, apologetic, self-defacing diplomacy. Sometimes the antidote needs to be strong for it to do its job. The US has lost the respect of virtually the entire world and no rogue nations fear us at all. There are more people on welfare, food stamps and assistance programs than in the history of the country including the Great Depression. Mexico, Europe and Asia are sucking the blood right out of our economies. The media are shills for both parties which is why the real picture is never presented to the public. Trump throws it right in their faces. Who cares? We need real change.

    Anybody who would actually trust Trump as head of the military hates America more than any fictional demon Democrat you can think up could.

    Not a single bit of truth to anything you just said. All Contard sound bites.

    You are correct, land line analog telephones so the poor could have a phone to dial 911 in case of an emergency.

    It was never the intention of providing free cell phones to drug dealers so they can conduct drug business on a street corner.

    I didn't think anyone could summarize better the attitude that, in my opinion, is everything wrong with America. Thanks for your contribution. Please make sure you vote for trump when he becomes independent.

    Many drug deals have been conducted over analog phones. I don't even know anybody who has an analog phone anymore. I know most Cons are still living in the dark ages, but times and technology does change.

    Only stupid people don't own at least one analog phone.

    If you ever been through an earth quake, there is no phone cell service for awhile after the shaking.

    Only so many people can be using a cell phone at any given time, overload the system, nobody has cell phone service.

    Major solar flare, no phone cell service.

    Power outages, if you don't have an analog land line phone, no phone service. Those cordless phones require AC power to operate.

    Power outages, you have to recharge that battery for your cell phone.

    Land line phones have their own power.

    I have one analog phone just in case. It's called taking personal responsibility and not being dependent on government.

    The problem today, it hard to find anyone selling analog phones. But if you can find one, it's a good $10 investment.

    Anyone calling Dr. Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, and others clowns needs serious help. But, I supposed you are above infant brain surgery, Harvard Debate Champions, and running the largest I.T. Company in the world.

    You're post is stupid. It makes you look incredibly bad.

    Rand looked awful and Christie looked good if you are good with forfeiting personal freedoms and trampling on the 4th Amendment.

    Yeah... infant brain surgery, creating a $10 Billion company, winning Harvard Debate Championship, and running the largest I.T. Company in the world is not amazing?

    WTF?

    Perhaps a HUGE problem you Liberals have is not knowing what exceptionalism and "amazing" actually means.

    What about a CnC who doesn't trust the military or respect those who serve under his command ???

    Yes I'm talking about Obama.

    Those in the military today who serve under Obama have a 15% approval rating of Obama as CnC, the lowest of any other President in history.

    Just because you do not agree with my opinion does not make it stupid or bad.

    The best of the bunch is Trump .. a reality TV star !

    The religious right loves to trample on individual rights and freedoms.

    A reality T.V. Star is more significant in your eyes than Dr. Ben Carson?

    Thanks for sharing.

    If the soul represents who we are and leaves the body when the head dies that means the soul must reside where our personhood resides, our brain. Logic can be your friend if you use the tool God gave you.

    A person that cant figure out the difference between "a single human cell" and " a baby" is perhaps just ignorant. That a doctor speaks as if he has not figured this out is a clown.

    Can I suggest a game of - Which one is not like the others ?

    That a Neurosurgeon claims speaks as if he has not figured this out is a massive clown.

    The complete lack of objectivity of a highly educated Neurosurgeon shown by using the term "helpless baby" makes him a massive clown as he knows this is a highly debated and contentious claim and one he knows he can not support.

    Yet, he speaks as if this claim were defacto truth.

    It is one thing to let one's religious beliefs impact one's judgement. It is quite another to masquerade religions belief as something factual.

    Ben Carson is a clown and the show does not start and stop with Abortion. Just ask if you want more clownish behaviour and really dumb arguments from this guy.

    Apparently, you do not understand the science and when a new specific DNA set is established which is the true science behind it.

    Actually, this science is 99% more settled than Man Made Global Warming. The scientists don't even argue the point much anymore. The debate was over a few years back and it's time for you to catch up.

    You look ridiculous calling a Reality TV star more significant that the one of the top brain, infant, and conjoined twin surgeons in the world. Those are your words and you are stuck with them, unless you want to walk them back.

    Other than, "I'm a billionaire and I've obtained more from dealing with other countries leaders than Obama has".

    Actually, unlike you, I have a minor in Biology/Microbiology and use genetic testing as a routine part of my business.

    Not that one needs to understand genetics to realize that having a human DNA does not defacto make that entity a baby.

    99% Settled ? You comments are amusing.

    Your claim that having human DNA necessarily makes that entity a baby is abject nonsense.

    Proof: A human heart cell has human DNA. Newsflash !!!! A human heart cell is not a baby.

    Best you leave the abortion debate aside as you are clearly out of your depth.

    Would care for some other clown arguments from Ben ?

    That's my point, but they are so far apart that if considered to be in the same party, the idea of 'party' should be abandoned.

    I do, too, maybe not to the extent you do. He's a midwestern Republican, hardly a southern Republican. Furthering my point.

    Yes, cutting defense, individual mandate health care plan , funding schools, common core, that will help him in any general election.

    Of course he was a director at lehman brothers as it went bancrupt taking big bonusses not really going to help him.

    If you kill the human heart cell along with the rest of the DNA it is attached to in the living body, you have committed murder.

    You may have a degree, but perhaps you still have not figured out how to reason.

    You calling Dr. Ben Carson a clown makes you look foolish.

    Good post. Giftedones reasoning is like saying that because a house under construction isn't yet a complete home, you can burn it down and it isn't arson. When in fact it is. Not to mention that the owners now have no place to live. All of that said, it is still a valid point that ones free agency or choice is priceless. And if one chooses to burn down ones own home, then who besides that person is the poorer for it.

    There is no solution to global warming, besides a miracle tech that allows us to get off of oil tomorrow. You understand that right? And there is NO PROOF anything we do will effect a thing, because there is NO PROOF how much damage we're doing vs the natural order of things. PROVING the problem is the first step in finding a solution. Besides, if India and China keep doing what they're doing, not a single thing the US does will mean squat anyway. Together they're polluting more than we are.

    And lets just say the miracle tech that lets us magically stop using oil tomorrow happens next week.... pray tell what happens to the everyone employed by the oil industry? Do you not understand the catastrophic ramifications of such an event? Its the idealistic stupidity of people. Solve world hunger they say!!! Sure, OK, now you have massive amounts of people that can eat in Africa but nothing to do. They'll just start killing each other over something else besides food.

    Liberals are so cute and naive.

    Want to know a cure to global warming? Massive death for the 3rd world so with billions less people, we have billions left to feed, and take care of. Billions less that need DIRTY energy. Billions less having MORE children and multiplying like rodents. The cure to global warming is far less people on this planet, so that less goods need to be made, less garbage, less energy, ect, ect. You get the point. This isn't StarTrek. This is Elysium.
