I've never seen so many people that actually hate their country and would rather see it burn than try to save it.

Why so evasive?

Here: Anyone who voted for Biden fits the bill.

HB wanted a response from you regarding your election choice. Instead, you want to try to sidestep that responsibility by claiming you're not left or left leaning. I got news for you, pal... anyone with a D by their name is so far left by 1990's standards, that you can't feign ignorance at what you're supporting. The state of our nation and the world is a direct result of global minded democrats who want to control everything with government power. They do a much better job of messaging than in the old days, but it's certainly looking like we're going to make the same mistakes. I would have though a history major would be more aware. Only the blind can't see it for what it is.

By the way, Biden doesn't oppose everything I stand for.  I agree with him on a lot of issues.  I also agree with a lot of what Trump supposedly stands for.

Are you happy with your vote now?

Yes, I think I did the right thing.  As I have stated multiple times, Trump is the most ignorant, egotistical, incompetent, and dishonest person ever elected President, and he should not be within 100 miles of the oval office.  Yes, Biden is to the left of me on some issues, and I disagree with a lot of what he has done or tried to do.  But I would never vote for Trump.  I wouldn't vote for AOC, or Liz Warren, or Bernie Sanders, either.  

Do you actually want me to say something about border policy?  That was where this started.  You said you were waiting for the leftists on this board to say something about border policy.  That's where I wasn't sure what you were asking for, because I am not a leftist, but I had the feeling you were aiming it at me for some reason.

Why didn't you just say, Marty, what do you think about our border policy?

I did not have you in mind, at all, when I asked that question. I was truly requesting input from the left. 

You’re being paranoid, Marty. Rolleyes

One democrat decided to open their mouth about the fraud so they could win their election. They broke ranks and didn't think about what will happen next. NJ also about to spill the beans on the democrats fraud.

- Create a free, federally funded online university called "American Academy"
- Ban wokeness and jihadism
- Allow credentials to be used to apply for government and federal contractor jobs
- Grant credit to students for past coursework
- Tax large private university endowments like Harvard's to pay for the free school
- Sue and fine institutions that fail to uphold free speech laws or encourage anti-Semitism

“We spend more money on higher education than any other country and yet, they’re turning our students into communists and terrorists and sympathizers of many, many different dimensions. We can’t let this happen.”


American Academy.. Need to hear more on these, but so far, not a bad idea. We need to think outside the box with a lot of our issues, because the box has been destroyed beyond recognition and urinated on..

Yes.  So?  If that's the definition of a leftist, I guess I am a leftist.  That's not my definition of a leftist.  

I have disagreed with a lot of what Biden has done, and I've agreed with a lot of it, and I've said so quite clearly.  But I would never vote for Trump, and a lot of conservatives did the same thing in the last election.  I think he's the most ignorant, egotistical, dishonest and incompetent person ever to be elected President.  I don't think he should be within a hundred miles of the oval office, and if that means I have to vote for Biden, that's what I'll do.

Ask me a specific question on a specific issue, and I'll tell you exactly what I think.  I'm not avoiding anything.

Wow, imagine your surprise when your BIden vote won you exactly what you thought you were fighting. The irony is thick.
Something going on here. I don't think the Feds showed up for a pizza party, but we'll see..

Lots of tough truth in this article about not only U.S. leadership, but our culture and national resolve. 

We are witnessing the fall of the American empire

Why have the October 7 attacks triggered a culture war in the West? Because parts of our Left are anti-Semitic and the Right is calling them out? Absolutely. But this is also psychological displacement: we’re so shocked by the murder of Israelis, distressed by the bombings in Gaza and, unable to comprehend an intractable problem, that we withdraw into the familiar language of domestic politics.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a pro-Israeli Republican, put a resolution to Congress to censure Rashida Tlaib, a pro-Palestinian Democrat, as an anti-Semite. Had it passed, which it didn’t, Democrats were ready to put a counter-motion calling Greene a racist. This is schoolyard stuff, and while antiwar activists occupy the congressional Cannon House Office Building (300 arrested), and sociopath Brian Mast tells the House there are few “innocent Palestinian civilians” (even kids can be terrorists in their own cute way), it’s left to creaky Joe Biden to manage the Middle East from his basement. And he, with curiously little fanfare, has called for a pause in Israel’s military campaign...

...Moreover, the longer the bombings continue, the more radicalised Islamic opinion becomes and the more likely a regional war seems – at a time when America is already overstretched in Ukraine (more on that, below). Biden insists that America can run two wars at once; Janet Yellen says the money is there. This is boomer delusion. Yes, they are the generation that protested Vietnam – but they also grew up in the shadow of VE Day and the moon landings, and share that Kennedy-esque conviction that so long as any cause is just enough, they must and can support it. The good guys always win in the end, right?

Alas, America in 2023 is not America in 1960, and likely does not have the material and moral resources to wage multiple wars across different continents. Never mind failing to learn from history: Biden led a humiliating retreat from Afghanistan just two years ago, yet policymakers are already back to fancying their odds against another Islamist army...

The saddest thing of all is few want to hear this and any politician who shows resolve will be instantly labeled as some kind of hater since austerity measures are certain. 

This country needs another Depression. Not only to reset fiscal policy, but our moral and ethical compasses as well.
