    I am pretty sure that I am somewhat "Islamophobic?"

    But I am fairly certain that a significant number of members of the LGBT community
    would state that I am not homophobic........... in spite of the fact that
    I am sure hoping that you Americans decide to elect The Donald as President
    on November 8.


    http://www.politicalforum.com/polit...07-how-hillary-might-able-get-my-vote-if.html
    How Hillary might be able to get my vote.... if....
    ... I was American rather than Canadian.....
    (but I admit that I am biased and am about 95% certain that I would be
    casting my X for The Donald on November 8.... (if I could)).

    But....... it only seems fair that I elaborate on what Hillary could do that might
    possibly turn that 5 percent probability into my actually casting my ballot for her,
    (or in my case generally support her campaign online rather than The Donald's).

    Back in 2008 when Green Party Leader Ms. Elizabeth May campaigned in my
    riding, Central - Nova, I was almost certain up until the last few days that I would
    again be voting for Conservative Party incumbent Mr. Peter Mackay but........

    Ms. May personally responded to my 2008 municipal campaign writing with such
    wisdom and courage that at that last moment I changed my mind and voted for
    her instead!

    Note, back on February 5, 2015 I finally realized that I owed Ms. May an apology for
    the sheer ignorance of some of what I had written back in 2008:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/canad...008-campaign-my-apology-ms-elizabeth-may.html

    Ignorance shown in my 2008 campaign, my apology to Ms. Elizabeth May!
    Back in 2008 when I campaigned for the office of municipal councilor my ignorance regarding the importance of reducing atmospheric carbon is out there for all to see!

    I am wondering if the information regarding the increasing acidity of the oceans can alter how we view the importance of altering our economy?

    What part of 50% don't you understand? If you and your wife support Trump, one of you goes straight into the liberal basket of deplorables... Sorry, no exceptions and no excuses, we can let you swap baskets every now and then but one of you must at all times stay in the basket :D

    I wonder does respectfully quoting an ancient Islamic prophecy
    somewhat decrease the level of Islamophobia that Ms. Clinton would
    define me as being stuck in..... considering that I believe that The Donald would
    make a far far far far far better President than she probably would?????!

    http://www.politicalforum.com/opini...saving-new-orleans-florida-rising-oceans.html

    The Sahara Forest Project...and saving New Orleans and Florida from rising oceans!

    Did you know that there is an Islamic prophecy that the Islamic desert regions would be turned green in the latter days?????

    This topic is of special interest to me because I live about a hundred miles from the Bay of Fundy. I live five kms from the ocean on the eastern part of Nova Scotia. In my area the difference between low tide to high tide is about one meter! The land form of the Bay of Fundy has a funnelling effect on tidal waters and so parts of the Fundy have a difference of fifteen to seventeen meters between low to high tide!

    The question on my mind would be if ocean levels were to rise about thirty centimeters in my part of Nova Scotia, would they rise by four or five meters along parts of the Fundy????

    There are 143,000 acres of farmland taken back from the Fundy by dikes that are probably in the position of the proverbial canary in a coal mine in relation to rising ocean levels!

    Every cubic meter of H2O added to the water table of nations in the Middle EAst will NOT be on top of New Orleans, Florida, Holland, Bangladesh or those 143,000 acres along the Fundy!!!!!

    I felt a huge sense of relief when I first heard about The Sahara Forest Project!

    But for the grace of G-d....
    and the near death experience account of Mr. Christian Andreason.......

    I could well be one of those awful Trump supporters who
    tended to be somewhat "homophobic"........ but we can all make
    positive changes when we are given good information to work with!

    Sincere apologies for taking 5 years to understand NDE comments on Gay Community!

    Politically, it was a terrible thing to say. Realistically, it was truthful.

    31% of Trump backers support banning homosexuals from entering the U.S.
    62% support a muslim database.
    33% believe practicing islam should be illegal.
    40% support shutting down all U.S. mosques.
    38% wish the south had won.

    Don't get me wrong... it's very reminiscent of Romney's 47% remark, which (politically) was very damning. I expect her polling to take a hit, but it's been entertaining watching the party of "political correctness run amok" talking about how offended the American voter should be.

    You make a major mistake in thinking that the words you list should be defined properly (according to the dictionary).


    If you oppose Hilary or any of her programs, if you oppose obama in any way, if you oppose "progressives", then you are in the basket of deplorables. To "progressives", all their opponents are to be denigrated and dehumanized so that their oppression can be handled easily. That's how its been done for millennia, the enemy (whoever it is) is framed as less-then-human and unworthy in the eyes of your supporters so the supporters can more easily go to war against the "enemy".

    I picked Islamophobic... mainly because 3rd worlders that chant "death to America", tie bombs onto retarded kids, and send them into crowds of people, kinda scare me. Especially when they justify it afterwords.

    What they falsely say of others, they are themselves.

    They think an aversion to their racism, their sexism, their tyranny, their deviance, their incompetence, their selfishness, their sloth, their slander, and their dishonesty is a "phobia". It is of course, not a phobia; but a sign of the discretionary wisdom that we have, and they lack.

    The 'basket of deplorables' I am in would be those that don't consider Hillary as deserving the Presidency.

    You should have made it multiple choice or at least provided an "all of the above" option. I chose Islamophobic because I'm against a religion that wants to torture and kill people just because they choose something else as their religion. As long as Islam preaches what it does and its followers are crazy and violent they need to be hunted down and wiped out everywhere in the world. Then the rest of us can live in peace.

    Those things make you deplorable ? I think backing abortion on demand makes you deplorable and unreadable . So much for her being a Christian. I think backing a corrupt liar like Hillary makes you deplorable . There are lots of things both sides do i find deplorable

    I am an aspiring politician who supports a:
    "Ban on Intra-cardiac Potassium Chloride Injections on Singletons."

    But I believe that I also need to admit when environmentalists make a good point
    regarding how specifically we should probably attempt to protect the environment.

    "There are no jobs on a dead earth." (David Orton, 2006 Federal Level Debate in Central - Nova).

    Yes........ you are onto an extremely important principle here.

    Some serious plans do harm do get discussed in some places of high power.
    Sometimes the victim has gotten to a place where they are feared by extremely wealthy people.


    http://www.politicalforum.com/jfk/453840-donald-feared-because-he-might-turn-out-another-jfk.html
    Is The Donald feared because he might turn out to be another JFK?
    A small number of extremely wealthy people can certainly get a lot of people working furiously to stop a candidate that they don't want.
