Tucker Carlson, join the military and go do a tour, then discuss Duckworth

You didn't answer my question: Would three racist Republican politicians make the Republican party a racist party?

Only if those three were nationally popular among republicans broadly, shaped the platform, and had no visible opposition from within the party, and emerged only in the last decade

Now you are deflecting because you’re focusing on something you know doesn’t exist among the party and you’ve never offered a concrete condemnation of Marxist ideology in your own house.
 
Look at all of the Trump Panty Sniffers once again putting their hatred for our military heroes on display.

If Trump did anything at all he sure managed to expose the fraud that these "patriots" have been claiming for decades.

Democrats are not communists. They are not seeking to institute communism in America, not looking to take your guns, and are not trying to open the borders so that illegal aliens will vote for them. No one believes this nonsense except those mired in conservative propaganda that is meant to frighten you into lining the pockets of the top 1%.

Some respected Democrats are further to the left than others, just as some respected Republicans are further to the right than others.

Democrats have openly proposed amnesty for illegal immigrants and refused any election security measures.

Democrats have active bills in the house to ban the most popular firearms in America,

And the number 2 contender for president in their party is an avowed communist.

You are either very ignorant or being purposefully dishonest

No, you are confusing extreme suggestions from far left liberals who identify as Democrats for the intentions of the Democrat party as a whole.

Should Democrats conflate the idiotic things Trump has proposed and done with the Republican Party as a whole? He is their choice for president, after all...

Did you believe 15 years ago that a man could become a woman?

Simple yes or no answer please

These "patriots" remind me of the so called christians who have to go around telling everyone that they are a "good Christian" while doing despicable things that are not christ like at all.

Well you are either stupid or just ignorant. The SCOTUS has said that the 2nd amendment allows individual ownership of guns for self protection. So how many people need an AR15 for self protection. What you need an AR 15 for is to intimidate those who you disagree with and that is not covered by the 2nd Amendment. And if you do not believe that the AR15 is used for intimidation, just look at the pictures of those who took over the Michigan legislative building.
And a link please showing that any of the Dems is an "avowed" communist. The only communists i know of are Trump's buddies in China and North Korea. They certainly are Communists and they are for sure Trump's buddies. And if you do not know the difference between a communist and a socialist, then you certainly are ignorant.
And what is your plan to get rid of the more than 11 million illegals in this country and how do you replace them at the jobs they work? Deport them in batches does not seem to be working as there are now more illegals in the country than when Trump took office.
Triumpsters are just like their cult leader, give an order hopping someone else can figure out how it is to be carried out. Stupid is as stupid does.
 
Yes I did.

So either you’ve been to the very extreme left of the society or you are lying, which one is correct?

I think both may be true but you know in 2005, this was a fringe opinion.

So you’re only proving my point either way. The left doesn’t have hard barriers. They will become more and more extreme. Whatever is on the fringe today will be the mainstream within a short period of time.

And you’re wrong. A man is not a woman and cannot become one

Neither. And there you go again proving that extremist conservatives can only think in terms of black and white and will only settle for their way or the highway.

Which leftists were openly running outside of San Francisco on an open platform of man and woman are subjective fluid terms and provide evidence
 
So many people in this country who were unwilling to serve are more than willing to question the bravery of those who have. I remember Trump telling us that he did not consider McCain a hero as he had been captured. What did the brave Trump followers say, NOTHING. Now we have another jackass Tucker Carlson calling Duckworth who joined and served and was wounded a coward. He is the coward. If he wants to question Duckworth as being a coward then he should join up and serve a tour in Iraq or Afghanistan and then he can question her bravery. Until then the coward that he is should just keep his trap shut about her being a coward. And those that are saying it is his right, you should join and serve a tour and then say you agree with him again. Just so you know I volunteered in 69 and come from a military family where my father and 8 out of nine children served.

Tucker is a pansy. And I can get away with that as I am gay man who served, and never got a sic note to get out of going to Iraq in 2003.

The man looks like the epitome of a pansy bed wetter. Why would anyone with half a brain pay this man with there time.

Championing the rights of LGBT people is actually to the right in the fact that it is a libertarian stance. The government shouldn't have a say in sexuality or gender expression. Republicans are not as conservative as they think they are in some areas.
 
...As someone who has never served, you’re still entitled to your opinion too, but because your opinion is not supported by personal experience, it is valueless.

Most opinions are not supported by personal experience. Are all of them valueless. ?

I have to agree with Dayton3 here. All the posters on this site are pretty damn opinionated about any and all the subjects we debate. I'd say many opinions have value even without direct experience. I've never been president, but I know a nutjob when I see one...

You’ve witnessed presidents for decades (I’m assuming), having plenty of time to learn the basics of what goes into the job, and witnessed effective and not so effective leadership practices of each president, and while that doesn’t make you an “expert” on presidential matters, it does give you enough knowledge to have an informed opinion, which gives some value to your opinions.

If you arrived in America yesterday, from another country, having no knowledge of the duties of an American president, but chose to comment based on someone else’s experience they shared with you, your opinion would have no value at all. You would simply be parroting the opinion of someone else, which is what Dayton3 did in response to another (vet) poster’s criticism of Tucker Carlson calling Senator Duckworth a coward for coming on his ****ty show.

As someone who’s never served, himself, Dayton3’s opinion has no value on this issue because he speaks from the position of complete ignorance. It may seem that I’m insulting Dayton3 or saying that he doesn’t have a right to opine, but I’m not. I’m simply stating what I believe to be a fact.

Like Dayton3, you’re free to disagree, and I respect yours and his right to do so.
 
There's alot of room between "coward" and "god". People that are saying that you shouldn't call a purple heart double amputee a "coward" aren't saying she's a god. The fact that you would jump all the way to "god" shows just how disingenuous your argument is.

First of all, Tucker Carlson never called her a coward, and neither did I. People at DP followed a crooked narrative because it is what they wanted to believe. They wanted it so bad they would tell a provable lie because they are so used to getting away with lying, why not lie?

Tucker Carlson ratchets up criticism of Duckworth, calls her a 'coward' | TheHill

“Keep in mind that Tammy Duckworth is not a child, at least not technically — she is a sitting United States senator, who is often described as a hero,” he said. “Yet Duckworth is too afraid to defend her own statements on a cable TV show. What a coward.”

I think you are mistaken. And I quoted TheHill, which is a conservative/republican leaning source.

You are right that he called her a coward for not coming on his show and defending her statements. She is a coward for making such hateful anti American comme ts and refusing to engage Tucker Carlson on Fox News.

FYI, few feel that being a combat vet or a PH holder immunizes you from criticism. I watched the whole segment and Duckworth is nuttier than a fruitcake.

“Trumps 4th of July speech was about dead traitors”.
“Sure, let’s talk about tearing down Washingtons statue”

She saw the statements and questioned Fox’s right to criticize her al all be ause she was once injured serving. That is her argument for calling American heroes “dead traitors”, and he questioning everyone’s right to make them at all.

Dead traitor George Washington was a combat vet too. He paid his dues and found time to create a country Duckworth hates.

I watched the entire segment, and I encourage you to do the same.
 
I can respect someone's service, but that does not mean I give them a free pass on thier politics....that being said, not everyone that served is worthy of respect.

It was Trump's comments about McCain that completely turned me off on him. I knew then I could never vote for Trump. Then he had his derogatory name calling and feud with a gold star family. The way I looked at it, any attack on McCain as a Senator is indeed fair game. But calling McCain a bad military man because he got caught was beyond the pale. Political disagreements are perfectly okay, this also applies to Carlson. If Carlson wants to attack Duckworth for a political disagreement, fine.

I don't see how anyone can say someone hates America when that someone put her life on the line for her country. She's no coward. She's a patriot. Political differences are one thing, but just because someone has a different political view point or belongs to the other party doesn't mean she or anyone else hates this country or that they aren't a patriot. This whether or not they served in the military.

In all fairness despite his combat record, McCain was considered a poor pilot.

No, it is not. That is absurd. Who wrote someone could change their gender? Was that Russel Kirk? Whittaker Chambers? Edmund Burke? Does Kierkegaard write this? Nothing the intellectual canon of conservatism says that reality is subjective and you can choose it. That is absurd. Libertarianism is an intellectually bankrupt ideology that is most emphatically NOT conservatism. You’re such a dishonest person you actually are trying to insist it’s a conservative value that one can change their gender? No pal it’s not.
That is a Marxist one.
 
This seems to be a very important issue to you for some reason.

And apparently to the left as well. They brought forward a cause literally no one wanted, silenced the medical community, began abusing children, etc and said it was bigotry if you didn’t accept it.

The reason is because it is easier to stoke Marxist class struggle is reality is non objective. Gender is a grammatical concept and sex is biological reality. You cannot change from being a man to a woman
