    True......… but over the past 13 years these types of forums have assisted in making me aware of certain flaws in my own reasoning process.

    What do you think of the idea that many Democrats would stay home on election day...... or vote for The Donald if it comes down to Hillary vs The Donald?

    There is no group more angry or violent than liberals. History is repeating itself right now with them and their violent attempts to control the political discourse in this country. We're not having it, not anymore.

    IMO, it is not so much intelligence, but emotion. Leftists don't view facts & empiricism the same way as most conservatives, who have had to work & function in a world of hard knocks. The left relies more on propaganda & repeated lies to pitch their agenda, while conservatives try to use logic, numbers, & facts. It works, as is obvious from the indoctrination of socialism into the new generation of low information voters, intent on fundamentally transforming America into a socialist nanny state. Reality, facts, & history have nothing to do with this appeal, but just emotion.. lures of free stuff, & empty promises that are irrational & unsustainable.

    I see a wide variety of people every day.

    Those who live in America in better areas with fellow upper-class liberals in the North East, Silicon Valley, Madison Wis, and and like----are only under an illusion.

    The heart and soul of the modern liberal democrats are the poor and ignorant masses of urban thugs who rarely graduate high school, illiterate Hispanics that can't speak English, other 3rd Worlders that are mostly here illegally and bring their aging relatives that are mostly very backward and not very bright.

    The Liberals in the West think the their nations will look like the Epcot center--some mythical, beautiful multicultural paradise.

    In reality, their nations look more and more like dirty, dangerous, lazy, corrupt and overcrowded nations their beloved migrants came from:

    More like Mexico, Honduras, China, Vietnam, Syria, Somalia, and India.

    The usual misleading propaganda. The recovery has been tepid at best. Wall Street is disconnected from Main Street. Great he has made the rich richer eh?

    That is basically my impression as well......

    I am 95% certain that I would vote for The Donald if I was American.....

    but I guess my point is that perhaps President Obama does deserve some credit.........

    perhaps more credit that I personally have been giving him????????!

    The left will say yes, the right will say no. Flip a coin.

    Does making a martyr of someone who attacked a cop then perpetuating the "hands up don't shoot" lie make someone more intelligent?

    That's just for starters. The left thrives on lies and misinformation.

    One need only look at college campuses for evidence that those who are aligned with liberal ideologies are the less intelligent of the two parties.

    Back in the '80\s when I was in my twenties I was quite 'conservative"
    but in the '90's when I began to study NDE accounts I began to understand
    the political left on many key issues.

    I was a member of Canada's Liberal Party for nearly seven years but I suspect
    that I will fit in better in the Conservative Party.

    I left the Liberals in December and joined the Conservatives in January.
    I am not a huge fan of majority governments and I really want to see Mr. Peter Mackay
    toss his hat in the leadership race.........
    and I do believe that I can assist in encouraging him to do so by......

    http://www.politicalforum.com/canad...tional-leader-canadas-conservative-party.html
    Dennis Tate for National Leader of Canada's Conservative Party.

    An extremely serious error was made by a very popular Canadian
    Prime Minister back in 1974 and it kind of amazed me that
    P. M. Stephen Harper did not come right out and tell Canadians
    exactly what the error was............... make a few guesses as to why
    this obviously terrible policy was began........... and do something about it
    .... but he didn't so.................. I will!

    Quoting the late Mr. Jack Layton will get me into hot water with
    many long time members of the Conservative Party but........
    I find it amazing that anybody can deal so well with such a large
    subject in only one sentence!


    "We never should have privatized our debt and turned it over to the
    private banks, we should have kept it in the hands of the Bank of Canada,
    at least a major part of it, because then we would have been paying
    interest back to ourselves." (NDP Leader Jack Layton)
