Quote:Well my liberal friend, I don't base my opinion on "popular" points of view, I form and make my own opinion based on the facts that I know.  I'm a logical kind of person, hence Spock as my avatar.  It's no secret that I lean to the right on most issues, but at some point we need to get rid of the "left v.s right" thing.

 

The main issue that the Federal Government should be focusing on, in my opinion is the War on Terror.  Gun rights, gay rights, etc. is not the important issue at hand.  Being PC is not the way to be a leader.  It has to be said, called and dealt with for what it is.

 

EDIT:

 

By the way my liberal friend, I don't take meds but I did decide to bust open a beer today after work.

 

Nothin' wrong with a little self medication from time to time.  

 

I think the concept of the "War on Terror" is really the discussion that needs to be had.  The gun issue is also important.  But I tend to grow weary of discussing it over and over again.

 

To my recollection, we've never really discussed the "War on Terror", and I think it would be a good discussion.  Have you noticed, with every one of these acts of violence, we talk about the terrorist, then we talk about the victims, then we talk more about the terrorist, and then we move on.  The media absolutley sucks at actually discussing the causes of terrorism, potential reasons for why these people do what they do, and what can be done to solve the problem.

 

Trump's idiocy of keeping muslims out won't work, and is not a true discussion.  So, if any trumpette wants to weigh in, please provide my depth then your simpleton candidate has.  Or at least, link him saying something more than we need to keep muslims out.

 

Otherwise, I'd like to hear some thoughts...  Starting with this:

 

What do you think are the causes that have resulted in us declaring a "War on Terror"?  And is a "War on Terror" even the right approach?  I mean, look how much an abject failure our other so called "Wars" have been...  I'm lookin' at you drugs, poverty, et all...
