    I have a crush on Tulsi so I like to hear her speak. I like some of her ideas but I do not believe she would be a good president. If she did win it would be fun watching the war mongering neo cons squirm.

    On the face of the argument, I completely agree. But I have seen Gabbard as the 'candidate of the right' on this board.

    Being a vet as honorable as that is does not give anyone special insight...or qualilfications for political office.

    I do not blame anyone that did not want to serve under our commander-in-chief at that time...LBJ...one of the biggest crooks ever --if not the biggest to occupy the white house.

    The libbies just do not get it.....that it is not about Trump but what he stands for and what his vision of America is....he works constantly to improve America...the jackass party works constantly to undermine America...open borders, welcoming muslims to live here...trying to bring down a elected President by devious and underhanded methods which amounts to treason.

    You see democrats constantly calling Trump names and obscenities but when you try to pin them down about all their allegations....they slip away...because they have nothing to substantiate what they claim....just irrational and hysterical behavior based on hatred.....aka TDS

    Even if you're wrong America is a country with free speech, which is a tenant of our society. Supporting that person's right to be wrong is patriotic!

    Pat Buchanan type people on the right love Tusli. Getting out of the Middle East is one of my top issues and she really plays well to that part of my political worldview. I definitely like her far better than the Democrats she is running against.

    It's because they are blindly partisan and therefore lack a moral compass.

    Isolationism almost cost us victory in WWII....if Japan had not attacked pearl harbor forcing us to go to war....the whole thing might have turned out very differently.....we came in ...in just the nick of time.

    What happens in the middle east cannot be ignored...only at our peril to do so. No one likes or wants war....yet we must be prepared...we cannot just cut and run and thus turn the middle east over to our enemies...that would be the height of stupdity.

    Yet...despite all the lives lost and all the money we have spent there....we are still living with the threat of Islamic terrorism hanging over our heads.....many threats have been made regarding this very day....we will be fortunate if none of what they speak of comes about.

    The big mistake the jackass party makes is to believe if we just treat all our enemies nice...they will let us be. Nonsense.

    I was hoping you would go into our nation's fall into political tribalism. The same bunch who like to pretend they're holier than thou (even while supporting the philanderer and sexual predator in the White House unwaveringly) are now pretending they're more patriotic than thou, as evidenced here, and it's just another way to vilify half+ of the country and worsen the problem of political tribalism and outright unpatriotic hatred for your fellow countrymen. Your tribe also can't seem to discern between patriotism and nationalism, and the cult leader in the White House has been exploiting this to his Hitlerian gain.

    Libs have hated America since the 1960's. They've wanted to destroy it and start from scratch to build a socialist worker's paradise. They often praise Cuba. I guess that's the goal they're aiming for.

    I've lost my patriotism because they lost theirs. I want no part of a country where 50% of the population thinks Havana is better than Boston or Dallas.

    It is incredible that anyone in America can spout such lunacy....that is what really endangers us....folks so clueless that they want to welcome those who would destroy us...and punish those who want to defend America.

    Well the PNW has plenty of Trump dupes too, it's getting to where America just isn't anymore. Circling the drain to be sure.

    The only irrational thing is that you believe being anti Trump isn't rational.

    50% of America thinks Cuba is better than the U.S.? That's an absurd statement.

    I completely understand your position....so many democrats have succumbed to leftwing propaganda constantly promoted by the liberal media.

    I think we are at a point in history....where what we do in the next few years will determine whether or not we survive as a nation......we are the crossroads of destruction or survival. We have to make some very crucial decisions...and what we will decide to do is very much up in the air.....we cannot afford another presidency like the one we had with obama and which set the stage for our downfall....Trump has managed to forestall that but for how long?

    Indeed. It was rational to be anti-Hitler in 1930s Germany, but it was also unpopular. After all, Hitler was saying -- and many believed him -- that Germany was getting a bad deal, and he just wanted to make Germany great again. He also blamed leftists and selected minorities for perceived problems that he was going to fix.

    There is no rational basis for your hatred of Trump.

    What poppy-****. No rational person with any knowledge of history or America would make such a childish and absolutely ridiculous comparison...absolute nonsense. Pathetic to the extreme. That is the jackass party in full operational mode though.

    Someone stole your device yesterday and starting posting here. That guy was all for dividing us by political ideology and then slamming some as haters.
