    I noticed their isn't much pushback on here by the left saying they don't respect our rights, I guess because they know deep down we are right.

    I understand that you are frustrated with the pace of the restraining forces in our civil society. Antifa had a LOT of support from politicians on the Left and the Fake News Media, with their behavior, that's not going to last. Unfortunately for those who end up in harms way, they can do a lot of damage before there is the political will to stop them, but, when you have Portland and Boston starting to take a stand against them, well, that's a hell of a lot more lawful resistance against them than we had ten days ago.

    It's so unfair how the left is treating the president like he's Adolf Hitler or something. The man has led a great life being a successful businessman, being on television and now in politics. He's done it all and I only wish I could do everything like he can.

    You named yourself "Truly Enlightened"?
    So what?

    Red China thought it was so clever. It thought it could game capitalists by hooking them on imports. Instead, it is the communists who are hooked on exports.

    All Democrat candidates are inferior to Trump, just Tulsi far less than the rest. She is very much against American Troops being sent into harms way for less that our Nation's Self Defense. And she has worn OUR uniform in combat zones, so I'll stop and listen to her opinion whether I agree with her or not.

    As for the rest of the Jackasses, interesting polling:

    All three leading Democratic candidates — former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — have lower favorability ratings than President Trump.

    [​IMG]

    The in-depth, comprehensive poll from The Economist and YouGov, taken between September 1-3, showed 43% of respondents with a favorable response to Trump; 29% had a "very favorable" reaction and an additional 14% had a "somewhat favorable" response.

    Among the three leading Democrats, only 40% had a favorable reaction to Biden, with a paltry 17% of respondents having a "very favorable" reaction and an additional 23% with a "somewhat favorable" reaction.

    Warren got a total of 39% of respondents giving her a favorable reaction, 20% of whom had a "very favorable: reaction and 19% with a "somewhat favorable" reaction.

    Sanders got the most favorable reaction of the three top candidates as he barely edged out Biden with 41% of respondents having a favorable reaction, but he still ranked 2% behind Trump. 18% of voters gave Sanders a "very favorable" rating while 23% gave him a "somewhat favorable" response.

    And yet, he whipped your asses!
    Why Red China must capitulate

    It is simple math.

    4 > 1/2.

    Exports to the United States are 4% of Red China's economy.

    Exports to Red China are 1/2% of the United States economy.

    The problem for China is political. China is held together by money, not ideology. When the money stops rolling in, not only will the banking system spasm, but the entire fabric of Chinese society will shudder. Loyalty in China is either bought or coerced. Without available money the small group of Totalitarians the control this massive population are suddenly riding the tiger.

    They tried to bluff Trump, that didn't go well! They will quit stealing from us or tariffs will go even higher. Trump's just assisting them in discovering their price point.

    Tulsi is an interesting cat. Today was her leg day working out-at least she sweats.

    Not sure how I feel about her skunk stripe, as she's younger than me.

    However, I'd prefer an angry Somoan to any smug elderly democrat.

    With his popularity, Republicans see no reason to allow loser "republicans" to enrich themselves for a losing campaign.

    Must seem crazy to democrats who supported Hillary.

    First, you must understand that the US Constitution is not a static document. It is a dynamic document. It needs to be interpreted by our Supreme Court Justices, to make its rulings more relevant to the times. Remember, these rulings/decisions were directly in response to the abuses committed by State Laws. If there were no abuses by the States(and the Fed. Government), there would be no one petitioning the courts for its rulings. That said, the courts have ruled that a woman’s right to an abortion, was implicit in the right to privacy, guaranteed by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution(Roe v Wade 1972). As early as 1923, and continuing through its recent decisions, the Supreme Court has read that the "liberty" guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment, to guarantee a broader interpretation of the right of privacy. This would include decisions about child rearing, procreation, marriage, and termination of medical treatment. This is why you can Smoke dope, perform weird sex acts, watch porn, eat and sleep whatever and whenever you want, or live with whomever you want, in your own home. As well as many other rulings to protect your right of privacy. If you can think of what the alternative would be, you will then understand why. So my opinion is, to err on the side of caution and fairness, and not on the side of any personal biases.

    Hong Kong is part of China, just like New York is part of the US. It has only been on loan to the UK, and in 2047 it will be handed back over to the People's Republic of China. This is none of our business. And, represents zero threat to our way of life. Except for people with far too much time on their hands.

    If a foreign power occupied your county or state, I'm sure you'd be on the front lines trying to get it back, and get them out? The United Nations resolutions, including 446, 452, 465, 471 and 476, all clearly affirm that Israel's occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, and the Gaza Strip is illegal. But because of our affinity towards Judaism, Walt Disney, and the false assumption that Israel is a Democracy and our friend, we ignore their human right abuses and their illegal occupation of Palestinian land.

    In one sense you are correct. The federal government doesn't need any money. All it needs to do is just borrow more money by issuing debt. Until it reaches its debt ceiling. I was referring to stopping our government from borrowing more money to address our social issues, by not borrowing to finance these wasteful wars. This will decrease or national debt, and slow down the recession we are heading towards. This is just common sense to me.

    You are correct, militarily we won the war. They even signed a peace treaty in 1972, in Paris. But it wasn't the politicians that ended the war. It was the morbid procession of American body-bags(almost 60,000), and the grossly disfigured and mentally wounded(over 300,000), that certainly played the crucial role in ending the war.

    My question was to name a country in Africa, that is better off because of American intervention? Not the reasons why they are not.

    If all states had the same uniform laws regarding background checks on firearms, then there would be no need for any federal background laws. But we all know that some state's background checks are a bit laxed, while other states are more strict. Hence, federal laws mean uniform laws. I would love to see a study done, comparing IQ to those committing gun violence. As I stated before, only 29 states have laws that prohibit those committing domestic violence. This obviously means, that federal laws does not include prohibiting gun ownership to those convicted of domestic violence.

    These facts are easily found. I sometime think that a lot of people are more terrified of being wrong, than they are of being right.

    And you call yourself "Zorro". It's just a tag. It would take far too long to explain why World Trade is not designed to be equal. There are other variables that you are ignoring. The balance of trade is only defined by its net export. But a countries' International Trade includes many other factors(supply and demand, endowments and productivity, exchange rates and currency, etc.). Your conclusion is only partially true.

    No the constitution is a solid, primarily unchanging document that needs to be translated not interpreted. The times are irrelevant.

    Your right to privacy doesn't Trump my right to life nor that of an unborn baby.


    I've never heard of a state background check, as far as I know all background checks go through the FBI and are preformed for every new gun sale.

    She would've made a great PILF, but she spoke the ultimate blasphemy, and now the heretic will be thrown out of the Dem clown car.

    This is the first time I have heard anyone refer to the Constitution of the US, as a, "solid, primarily unchanging document". You realize the Constitution is a document that is nearly 2 centuries old, has very few amendments in it, and was framed in a different political and social age, right? Our Constitution has remained vital, only because its provisions have adapted to the changing needs of our developing society. Our Constitution is written in English, so there is no need for it to be "translated". It is the interpretation of the Constitution by 9 justices, that determine the intentions of our founding fathers. It is the tens of thousands of rulings that have demonstrated the meaning and scope of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Clearly the Constitution is not unchanging, therefore it is dynamic.

    Federal law only requires Federally Licensed Firearms Dealers, to conduct a background check on anyone, before the sale of the firearm. This does not include "private sellers", in which the state becomes the "point of contact", and must conduct their own background checks. this information might help, https://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-...s/background-check-procedures-state-by-state/ My comments were more about who else should be prohibited from owning a firearm. Not who conducts the background checks.

    Article V gives us the means to amend it it, as needed, and has been used successfully to do so, dozens of times.

    One down, Kamala Harris just keeps telling lies. I surprised she doesn't say "Are you going to believe me now or your lying ears?" A guy calls Trump mentally retarded and she responds TWICE with "Well said" "Well said" twice no less, and then she says I didn't hear what he said. Really? You respond with "well said" to something you didn't hear? Lying piece of crap. She should have just ate it, apologized and moved on, but instead she goes for the lie. Very Clinton of her indeed.

    No our constitution remains relevant because it is based on unchanging and unchangeable truth.

    Now people want to change it because they disagree with that truth.

    Please, let's not make it the status quo. Trump has done what needed doing. If he isn't re-elected, the alternatives are frightening. In fact, all their bull probably won't float when it hits Congress.

    In the mean time, there are better ways to handle the hot-button issues than the plans of the fab 4 or is that the fab 8? You can't represent the people if you hate your country. We the people are the country. If it wasn't for us, there would be no need for the USA.

    Who said that our Constitution was not relevant? My response was to a poster who stated the our constitution was a "solid, primarily unchanging document". This of course is wrong. The Constitution is an ever evolving, dynamic un-static document, that adapts and changes as our society developes. Do you think same-sex marriages, due process, Women and Black American voting rights, and Women in combat, were all based on an unchangeable truth? So please, no straw man,

    People change things because the abuses are institutionalized, or systemic. Maybe you can also name an amendment that you disagree with? One that you agree differs from the truth. I personally don't agree with the 27th. This leaves you with 26 to choose from.

    What are you talking about. Why do you need Art. V of the Constitution, to change a "solid, primarily unchanging document". There have been 33 amendments to the Constitution. Only 27 have been ratified so far. Do you think the Constitution 2 centuries ago, is the same Constitution today? Remember the Constitution is the framework of how the US Government is suppose to run. Not the State Governments.

    Do you think these ratified amendments do not change our Constitution, to become a more effective way of serving the people?
