I didn't say any of that. Your assertion that I have to vote against my interests for others, while those others are to vote for their own interests, does not equate to not carrying about my fellow citizens in the slightest. Sob and rant all you want, but I was not born to be your slave working and voting to cover you ass, your bad luck or your failure in life. Live by the consequences of your decisions, by your efforts or by your lack of effort.

I am confident that for at least 99% of you, you all were fantastically lucky to not be born into the circumstances I was. Yet sometimes I now think that taught things none of you ever had to learn. The value of freedom - the greatest value of all - because all you have always had freedom. From what I read, almost all of you grew up in extremely sheltered lives - never wanting for food or housing, never in any real danger, pampered, everything you got as a kid was free.

Yet that is NOT the history of the human race and is not how most people in the world live. You sob and want more, more, more - to always take it from others, want the government to steal for you and those you care about from those you don't - and reject the essence of freedom - personal or economic. It is making the slow downfall of this country. That is what I oppose. I oppose what you want.

Yes, you did. You just didn't like getting called on it.

...Endless dooms day paranoia, endless hatred of the USA's history - constantly in fear and fury, emotional firestorms. If they can't whine about their lives, they whine about other people's lives acting like they are victims of other people being victims - always desperate to be or create victims.

If you hate your life, vote for change. If you don't, vote for the status quo. Seems fairly simple. But, then ,I don't buy into the Democratic Party's claim that I have a duty to vote for the best interests of others - others who are to vote for their own self interests.

Dooms day preppers tend to be rightwing. Denial of our countries history of slavery and black oppression seems to be a rightwing thing, too. Emotional firestorms that lead to the bombings and murders of planned parenthood doctors is rightwing thing, too. The rightwing doesn't whine about their own lives because they're too busy blaming and whining about the lives of the left. The rightwing and their dear leader play the victims like it was going out of style.

The left don't hate their lives...they just want to make lives better for everyone...not just a few. But we can't have nice things in this country because the right are too narrow minded, selfish and greedy and have no thought for future generations. They are willing to destroy the entire planet for their personal gratification today. Just like you, Joko.

I have kids. Lots of them. It is Democratic policies that have driven this country to it's debt knees and responsible for lose of the USA being the greatest industrial and manufacturing power on earth to being the Chinese and other labor sweatshop labor crap country.

As I stated, as a Democrat you demand that I vote for the best interests of other people, while claiming those people should vote for their own self interests.

White people who hate themselves are just bizarro freaks to me. Hatred of their race, hatred of their country, hatred of their success - no other race or society in world history has ever been like that I can find. However, my past is quite untypical. (BTW, I'm not white and entered adult live at 15 probably with less than anyone on this forum - but a vast improvement of my life for finally being free. The government did nothing for me economically or otherwise, other than this being a relatively safe and free country by comparison.)

You are poor? Aren't crippled physically or mentally? Get a damn job. Be a drug addict lazyass alcoholic breeder? I see NO obligation towards you or your kids. None. Take care of your own life. I took care of mine. Wasn't easy. It took a couple decades. Now I'm no easy street.

I hate excuses for failures. I despise lazyass people. Despise alcoholics and drug addicts. Can't stand thieves. Have zero tolerance for anyone who says they won't take a job because it is below them. If a person won't work unless seriously physically or mentally handicapped, they can freeze or starve to death.

With FREEDOM comes PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. You can't have both. Nothing is really free. "Free" is usually the most expensive of all in the final calculation.

Most Americans, even conservatives, are ridiculously self entitled whiners thinking they were born entitled to everything and everyone else obligated to them and their needs - when no one is born entitled or indebted to anyone.

So much dung I have to take it point by point. Democratic policies? Tax cuts for the wealthy, endless wars, and the reality that the national debt climbs when R's are in charge and falls when D's are in charge makes your first paragraph pretty much a fairy tale.
D's demand people vote the way D's feel...how did djt become President?
White privilege is a thing. Preventing African Americans from owning property for over 300 years (Willie Mays was prevented from buying a home in a white suburb of SF in 1962), while for most of that time forcing them to generate wealth for white people still impacts people today.
It is to society's benefit that people work, and some people just won't, for whatever reason. Your selfishness to others you don't know is noted. How do you feel about the single mother that has children and no childcare. Paying for childcare often takes so much of a paycheck that staying home is the better option.
A little sanctimonious aren't you? Please use your description to describe a coal miner in W Virginia whose job is lost due to fundamental changes in the economy.
I fundamentally disagree with you. Freedom creates personal responsibility and responsibility for those that are in the boat with you. WW2 was won by a bunch of individuals? I don't think so.
I do agree with your last sentence.
 
"Change it"? Have you lost your mind? Oh, excuse me. I see you are a "progressive" (another term for ashamed liberal).

OBTW, my grandchildren are doing just fine. We earned ours.

Here's your problem boomer, you're going to be dead and your progeny will be here suffering from your satisfaction, and the refusal to look beyond the tip of your nose at what is happening to the planet.

and you would be wrong, in more ways that you can imagine....
 
You gave nor response, just a TDS rant. Once again, you absolutely would go berserk if Trump proposed the citizenship and immigration polices of those "first world countries" you so love. They don't have 20 million non-citizens on their healthcare costs. They don't have litigation laws that cost doctors typically tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year either. Nor endless billion dollar lawsuits against drug companies.

But answer the question: Would support Trump pursuing Norway's immigrant and legal liability laws?

If you didn't like my response, TS. And no, I'm not a xenophobe. I don't want to adopt every single policy from a specific first world country. I support making improvements to catch us up to the rest of the first world in quality of life. I don't see xenophobia as a productive part of that goal.
 
One minute you say the left hates our countries history and the next minute you brag about not caring about your countrymen. What you fail to realize is the very thing that made our country great is the very thing that you negate...and that is caring about others as you would yourself. There but for the grace of God go all of us.

Your message is a lie. I never said I don't care about my countrymen.

This may be far too complex a concept to you, but my children and I are Americans, ie "countrymen."

I wrote who I don't care for: Lazy asses, alcoholics, drug addicts, people who throw pity parties, blame others for their failures. I believe in freedom. You want nanny-state oppression at our expense.

Why do you think those "First World" countries you want the USA to copy in healthcare are so "xenophobic?" Maybe their "xenophobia" (a wrong word choice by you) is necessary to have what you otherwise want.
 
Do you like your life or dislike your life?

This seems the core political issue in elections. I like my life. I like the society my family and I live in. I am satisfied with our economic situation and safety situation. I don't have to worry of government PC or SJW police arresting any of us or trying to destroy our careers and life. The government does not make my healthcare decisions.

Why would I vote for the radical changes the Democratic Party wants? But, then, whenever I hear most Democrats talk, I am hearing malcontent whiners endlessly throwing pity parties for themselves or others - for which the point is always they either want something from other people or want to more control other people.

My life is not perfect, but its pretty ****ing awesome. That sense of a good life has nothing to do with my political beliefs however. Plenty of people have it worse than me and it is my duty to help shape a society in which they can succeed as well.

I disagree.
 
I presently like and/or am/are content with my life at the moment. I have come across a potential opportunity in my life. That is all I will say so as to not jinx it. I've almost entirely stopped paying attention to American politics ignoring it for the most part. I think the "U"S is ****ed regardless of whether Trump wins or loses the 2020 election. Brexit seems almost even more grating to try to look at these days, and don't get me started on the Syria-Iran-Iraq MESS involving the Turks and Russia and US etc. It just seems like more and more jsut outright depressing stories consume ALL of the news lately and it hurts inside seeing politics infest nearly EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of social life everywhere. I may or may not make a bigger post about it later

I'm not a "Russiagater" but even to me that sounds like straight Kremlin talkpoints
 
I went from a very poor street thug to middle class in this life.

Been jailed a few times in my younger days.

Learned 4 different trades/skills along with a Navy career.

Put in over 700,000 safe miles driving around all of the CONUS states, Mexico, and Canada as a Owner Operator until I got bored of it.

Been to 49 countries......played golf in 31 of them.

Hung out with loggers, Captains, crooks, doctors, lawyers, bricklayers, and wino's

My daughter graduated from Radford......and closing in on her Masters.

Taught my son how to run his own business.

A near do well sailor, golfer, and fisherman.

I have lived a very very good life!

When I officially retire this year, I plan on paying it forward by helping lower income families and the elderly with home repairs.

That'd be an even better read if you'd learned about paragraphs along the way.

So as is the case with pretty much all right wingers, completely selfish. Me me me. Just reinforcing what us liberals already know about many conservatives, they only care about themselves

I don't like my life right now, but has nothing to do with job and money. I do pretty good their. But unlike right wingers who lack empathy, I feel for all those struggling. And I'm not selfish.

I'm not gay, I'll fight for gay rights. I have good healthcare, I'll fight for the rights of everybody to have good healthcare, I'm not black, I'll fight for black people's rights to not be discriminated against, etc etc etc

Amazing, its like they are proud to be an asshole and to be hypocritical. NO wonder why they like Trump
 
Who cares what others in "other first world countries" think? They ALL want to be Americans.

No, they don't. Can any of you people get through a day without nonstop lying?

You don't know me or my beliefs, so I'll take your arrogance and ignorance into account and just file your comments under the "bull**** that conservatives say when they were proven wrong" bin.

It's not my fault you were proven wrong in saying ALL people in first world countries want to be Americans.


Yup, they all pull the same, dumb deflection over and over again. They have nothing. It's evident in every thread when liberals make fools of them with facts and pointing out how stupid their attempts at an argument are
 
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

We bulletized everything

It's good to see someone using the thread to express contentment. I've had far more blessings and privilege than I deserve, but I mention that enough; I figured let's see some other content people. You expressed so many nice sentiments in such a disjointed and imposing manner.

I wanted to give your post a huge like. But then you made the last comment. Sorry but you run down the party trying harder to promote freedom.

Every word you said that is hated by Democrats is completely true.
