    There are no liberals!!!!
    There are leftists and the poisoning of our political world started with the steele dossier, continued with "not my president "
    Continued further with thr fake Russia investigation., jim ocasta et all, the Kavanaugh hearings, Maxine waters call for harassment, should I go on???????
    Democrats are responsible for the deep divide we are currently experiencing.
    And why? Because they cannot win on policy because their policies are crap.

    Yup, keep looking at 2016 and fighting the last war, please. ;)

    Such a silly thing to believe that there are only far righters and no conservatives.

    As silly to say there are no liberals only lefties.

    We said the same thing to you! We also say that everytime you keep saying Trump is getting impeached! And that he won't last one term! And that the Dems take Congress!

    All the predictions you are paid to post- all false. All hilarious :)

    Well, without actual Civil War.

    With blood and dead stuff, and everything.

    Yup, that is what I mean: silly. There will never be a Civil War again in America. The LEO and National Guard will never be needed. Let the sillies on the far left or the far right rise up, the neighbors will be planting them in their back yards.

    Never again.

    Tell you what.

    I guarantee less of a likelihood, as long as there remains an intact 2a.

    Unless you put a cap on benefits, it won't matter. The system was always designed to return more to those who put more into it. You now want to increase taxes on the rich to redistribute them to the poor, using Social Security. That's fine, but then you are intellectually dishonest if you don't call that what it is: redistributionist welfare. Doing it under Social Security makes the system as intended a lie.

    It'll be a hidden tax on the upper middle class. The rich typically don't have high incomes; they have high net worth.

    Oh, you guys. 2dA? About 1 in 4 for a total handgun ban. More than 70% want reasonable regulations and restrictions on semi-automatic and automatic long arms. That will have to be decided by SCOTUS, I think, as to what 'weapons of war' are available on an every day basis to non federal fire arms dealers. How that will be decided, who knows.

    The poor rich. Oh, my. If we were concerned with the poor as we are to make sure the rich get more, we would have no poverty.

    No question exists, just like the overturn of Citizens United and the NPV and the reforming of SCOTUS, that the cap on income for SS will be raised, as it should be.

    You got me completely twisted.

    Independent would be the closest accepted political label that might consistently apply to me.

    The 2a doesn't mean a hill of bovine excrement to me, thanks to Cannabis Prohibition, so you can save that crap too... Even as a self described Fiscally Conservative Libertarian, I am all in favor of background checks, and red flag laws, banning Bump-Stocks, and surely no need outside of perhaps the Viagra Effect, is served with a 100 round magazine for anything.

    I'm pointing out the real possibility of violence between factions in this country, that have been itching for that violence, for over 50 years.

    I mean, some people motivated to do something, is all it takes right?

    And [*INSERT OPPOSITION HERE*] must be stopped By Any Means Necessary Right?

    '69 all over.

    Hmmm, I did not direct my post at you, Just_a_Citizen, but if it strikes a nerve, so be it.

    I do agree with you in that violence will flare. That there has not been the rash of political killings in the sense of 68-71, I agree I am pleasantly startled. It gives me no hope, though, for the future.

    Oh, and the SDS / Weather Underground are all professors, lawyers, doctors, and elected representatives now.

    That's a pleasant thought.

    My mother was SDS.

    The Bitch.

    I hope they priviatize social security as Bill Clinton wanted to do. A private system would pay out at a much higher rate, would be transferable upon death, and offer other benefits. Look up the three counties in Texas whose public employees set up a private system and the nation of Chile.

    Republicans will not end Social Security. But know that the money we have paid in has never been put I a separate Trust. It was put in Treasury Notes. You can goggle this.

    This is why the Government needs to scale down or get rid of Government programs to save money. I would like to see the Dept of Education gone. It didn't exist when I was in high school and College. I think my Education was as good if not better than under the current Federal Department of Education. It would be better to leave it up to the States and local Government.

    How's about a tax on you, since you care so much.

    If course, there are liberals. I taught in schools filled with liberal teachers for years.
    The vast majority of Americans in both parties wouldn't know the Steele Dossier from Pentagon Papers. You're telling me you think Obama was your President?
    None of this means liberals no longer exist.
    I don't think you're living in the real world. Trump is going out of his way to antagonize liberals.
