    It was a gross violation of the Hatch Act.

    OMG. A projection AND an inadvertent omission of that word puerile. You failed to derail the thread and you couldn't stay on topic. Okay, bye. Since you attacked God given Rights, the onus to start a thread on that would fall on you. What saith other posters? Which of us is responsible for starting that thread?

    The RNC was a love letter to America, warts and all. Full of hope.

    The DNC was a dear John letter to America. Full of hate.

    I do not believe that Biden wants to defund the police. What I was saying is that Biden allowed the GOP to drive the narrative that he does. He never issued a former denial and lost an opportunity to do so in his convention speech.

    With all due respect, I really hope this isn't completely true. This kind of "pointing the finger" game is the reason I turned my back on politics back in college. We HAVE to better than this. We deserve better than this.

    All we have to do is collectively say "enough," to these jerks in Congress. Until then, the nanee nanee boo boo games won't stop. Divisive politics is working. If your boss told you that you are doing an excellent job every 2 or 6 years, why would you change your performance?

    Quality people won't run. Every single joint, drunken moment, parking ticket, etc. from the past, is blown way out of proportion until the candidate is so battle weary, there's nothing of substance left.

    I think it's because people claim to watch PBS & NPR, but in reality are reading People magazine to see some scandal.

    Until we stop craving the nonsense, it will continue. Who slept with who, who was caught doing blow in the bath room stall, etc., is far more fun than policy wonk stuff.

    I agree, wholeheartedly. I have never understood the appeal of watching people go through problems and hurts. I never understood why people love watching the likes of "Jerry Springer" and "Maury Povich" but they obviously do. I wasn't even a fan of "America's Funniest Videos" when the show was about people falling over themselves. Watching somebody get hurt is entertaining? How?

    I have thought quite a bit about "quality candidates" and I cannot think of even ONE person that would subject themselves to the daily barrage of nonsense. It is insulting to listen to people bring up claims of sexual assaults against candidates as if that's the "bar" by which they should be judged. Our society basically ignores rape victims and overlooks sexual misconduct unless a candidate is running for office. It's hypocritical and outright wrong. People are saying awful things about Kamala Harris but almost nobody has anything to say against the guy that gave her favors to advance in her career. How many people overlooked it when it was happening? What about the women and men that aren't willing to use sexual favors to advance? It's disgusting.

    I really weep for our children and grandchildren. It's never been a perfect world, but it's more awful than it ever was in my lifetime. It's heart-breaking. The UNITED states of America is quickly becoming a misnomer.

    I think it is now just apparent. I remember my elderly M-I-L had the same sentiment when watching the then new 24 hour news on TV, we are just hearing about all of it now.

    I remember my stepfather's story about a massacre of blacks, back in the turn of last century, burned alive in a church in their black township.. and I haven't even been able to find that story to this day (because they probably had killed all the witnesses!

    Not surprising. People wonder why these last few generations are so "tuned out" and apathetic. How would you feel if you were bombarded by CONSTANT negative news? It's no surprise people are popping anti-depressants like crazy.

    I was naive enough to think Princess Diana's death would lead people to understanding how their insatiable need to have "the big story" FIRST cost this woman, her guy friend and a driver their lives, but no. They just moved onto the next celebrity. Unbelievable.

    Some in my family still subscribe to the "NE" (I don't know if we can call out tabloids or not) and try to pass them onto me when done. No amount of pleading to stop saving them has helped. They make great fire pit starters when I want to make S'Mores with the kids. ;-0 I don't even listen to gossip within the family or neighborhood. My motto is "If X person wanted me to know Y about their life, they would tell me. Otherwise, I don't care to hear it." I just wish I could convince a few billion people to join me. ;-0

    America is unique and exceptional. Our exceptionalism comes from the "God given rights" aka "Natural Rights" or Natural Law". No other nation on God's green Earth has been established on this basic principle. That priciple is the idea, based on The Enlightenment, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.

    You've chosen an untenable position.

    Trump is campaigning in New Hampshire-he just mentioned Rand Pauls assault, he's gonna have an award ceremony for the police that protected him.

    Your entire ERRONEOUS premise is based upon the FALLACIOUS assumption that there is a "god".

    Something that does NOT exist is INCAPABLE of "giving" anything at all.

    Therefore you have NOTHING.

    Have a nice day!

    America is an exceptional place, and worth fighting for.

    Why are you so mad?

    What gets me is the hypocrisy

    The very same people claiming to be fervent Christians are gleefully overlooking Trumps unchristian behaviours, are proudly stating they will not mask up in a pandemic because they do not want to save lives and are posting lies and falsehoods about anyone who does not agree with them

    Hmmmm and how is that Covid super spreader going there?

    Let’s see peak infection time for the attendees will be in two weeks by then they will have infected a huge number of contacts which means New Hampshire will hit another spike in infections just about around November

    Smart one Donnie!!

    Well there you go. You don't understand it's a philosophical concept, it doesn't require a belief in God. You are a beneficiary of God given rights even though you don't believe in God.

    Please link to the American medical definition of china virus "super spreader" and then the number of new china virus cases absolutely determined to be from the RNC.

    Let us both reflect on the absolute truth.
