Is it me or are liberals now routinely anti Christian and anti Semitic?

    Didn't you just claim that France was equal to Arkansas in economic output? LOL

    Clearly, you believe "liberals" are responsible for everything evil or bad in the world around you. Easy, simplistic answer for everything. Just wrong.

    Again, you evaluate the worth of anything based entirely on its financial value. I don't. France may make far less than we in its GDP, but that doesn't mean the people of France live less satisfying or less satisfied lives. If wages are lower in France, chances are products are lower in price as well. So, what's the difference? My wife and I looked at homes with acreage for sale in France recently and found beautiful ones for prices less than half what equivalent ones were selling for here. Aside from all this, there are other more important factors determining life satisfaction than mere money, and the Democratic Socialist countries of Europe are far ahead of us there.

    That's quite a difference. I just googled it and found California is now the 5th largest economy in the world. That's nothing to smirk at.

    And stunning defeats like David Brat defeating RINO Eric Cantor. But how often does that occur? Its very, very rare. About 96% of incumbents are re-elected, of the few that lose their replacements are establishment.

    Look at Bernie Sanders, he had great support but was derailed by back room shenanigans of the Democrat establishment.

    Depends upon what you call "evidence". If its election results, then that's weak evidence as the system is controlled by the establishment. You have to go beyond the final election to the civil war in the GOP between establishment RINO and the GOP grass roots, the rise of the Tea Party, and even the support for Trump.

    Come on, since when do politicians tell the truth during an election? They say what they need to say to get elected, then they do the bidding of their party establishment.

    Non Sequitur = "it does not follow"

    It does not follow that because Trump makes him feel uncomfortable- that 4.1% GDP is necessarily the thing about Trump that makes him uncomfortable.

    Now do you understand your fallacy ?

    You are either blind or or just brainwashed. The Republican Establishment hates individual liberty and loves Big gov't and increasing Gov't power. This is not what classical liberalism stands for.

    Conservatives keep voting these people in - and re-electing these Establishment Republicans.

    Don't tell me that I have no clue when clearly it is you that lacks deductive logic skills.

    so either the liberal is stupid for feeling uncomfortable about 4.1% GDP or he's stupid for feeling uncomfortable about something trivial like Trump's hair. Notice how it always turns out that way for liberalism since it is based in ignorance?

    so?? they could vote for libertarians or small govt conservatives but those candidates would lose so the next best option
    is to vote for center right candidates. Flip flopping Independents in the middle decide elections. Do you understand?

    but its not just coincidental that Hillary controlled the back room! Her ideas had been far more popular for far longer than Sanders so she controlled the back room. Flip floppers in the middle determine elections

    Tea Party and Libertarian party can become the establishment
    the second they have the support, but they have very little.

    Claiming France has a GDP like Arkansas is idiotic.

    if so the electorate would hold them accountable during the next election. You seem to have a fantasy that there are a lot freedom loving small govt conservatives out there.

    France has the per capita income of Arkansas about our poorest state. This is good evidence that socialism does not work. Much like Cuba/Florida or East/West Germany. Now do you understand?

    It isn't moral. It is law. The two don't always work the same way.

    sure they do. they are much less satisfied because we recreated them in our image after WW2, have to provide for their defense, and invent the modern products they use in the old world.

    so that ought to tell you that there are not a whole lot of people out there clamoring for Tea Party libertarian candidates.

    France's GDP is equivalent to that of California. I have proven it twice. You have never been to France or Germany, have you?

    I guess that proves France has a higher per capita income than Arkansas- right?,

    For that they get health care and other features that Americans have to pay for.

    Simply comparing per capita income is not even slightly good enough.
