America's Second Civil War Has Already Begun

Their "face of the party" is leaning further left into socialism and their "base" or "establishment" part of the party is having a hard time reigning all of that in. I'm thinking that the democrat party's only hope of winning the presidency is to run somebody like Joe Biden. Things change quickly in politics. Just think back ten years or so. With the actions of the Tea Party the talk was about the Republicans slide into fascism and the split between populism and old-line Republicans. Things looked grim. And don't make the mistake that just because some policies are not beloved by all white middle-aged, middle-class suburbanites that they can't be popular. Try going to The Villages and talk about taking away Medicare or Social Security (Socialism!). Talk about a revolution. Let it play out. Sure, Fox will try to convince you that the Democrats have nominated a Bolshevik, but when you're running against Donald Trump you always have a shot. Once again - he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. And he hasn't gotten any more popular. Oh - lol ... you know you're getting old if you think you have to say "I fear for our country".
The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.

The move toward socialism is uneducated and illogical, and it's rooted in class envy and scapegoating. Throw in a heavy dose of identity politics, and you have the new Democratic party.

Their discovery was expected and not publicized because Rumsfeld helped Hussein acquire them, and they weren't evidence of the active WMD program bill of goods used to justify the invasion. If you really cared, you should be outraged. Nowhere in your childish diatribe did you prove that the weapons found were part of a viable, active WMD production program. Because there wasn't one. Saddam Hussein had been quietly destroying inventory (which, don't forget, Rumsfeld helped them acquire) since the early 1990s but kept it quiet to preserve his persona as a strong leader. If there had been evidence of an on-going effort, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld would have trumpeted it from the mountain top. Try to keep calm, spittle is bad for a keyboard.
If something can corrupt you, you're corrupted already.

Told you in sentence #1 I wasn't rehashing the info already out there the last time you tried to throw something against a wall. FYI, the Iraq-Iran War in the 80s. You know, when Iraq attacked Iran with the CW they produced at one of 60+ manufacturing facilities from precursor received from the UK and Germany in the 70s? I will concede that we did provide the intelligence for the attacks. At least you leave no doubt about your ignorance on the matter.(03-09-2019, 11:03 PM)B2hibry Wrote: Drunk posting again I see. Not going to regurgitate Iraq/Syria WMD a second time. You can go find it with the search function. Probably still believe we went for the oil huh? |
