Quote:Everything I have read leads me to believe it was a false flag.  The one turkish person I know owns a restaurant I frequent, he believes it was a false flag as well.

 

I'm sorry for the hashtag, during the coup I was pretty active on reddit/facebook/twitter talking about it and the hashtag was added to all the posts.  I usually avoid the use of them.  


I'm a He


political Aisle : I bounce around between the aisles you could say.  Whenever I take one of those tests on where you land I get Centerist or slightly libertarian.


My beliefs are broken down as follows.


increased restrictions to get guns but not banning of them.

Free Market

limited government

Prochoice - I would be pro-life if it weren't for all the kids growing up in horrible situations becoming horrible people.  There are simply too many people in the world right now.

separation of church and state

not free college : I joined the army at 20 to get "free" college.  You can do well in HS to get free college.  There are ways to get free college but I don't want the government giving free college to kids that use it on IMO worthless degrees (photography, interpretive dance)  Those are luxury degrees.  If you want free college it should only be in programs deemed necessary and understaffed (Mathematics, Engineering, BioChemistry, Nursing).  The free part should not kick in until you are far enough along to take 3000+ level courses so people aren't abusing it to get there and then changing their majors to interpretive dance or photography.

Foreign Policy:  Stay out of other peoples business as much as possible.  Be more Regional instead of Global.  Quit trying to police the world

Healthcare:  Should be access to universal healthcare to all, however it should be a base level of healthcare, also allow private healthcare to be had on top of that.  Or an opt in/out of the base healthcare vs private plans

free the internet

immigration : thoroughly vet immigrants, deport ILLEGAL immigrants, restrict immigration from conflict regions.  Assimilation courses along with job training.

legalize marijuana nation wide, tax the hell out of it and put proceeds towards infrastructure and clean energy.


Those are the issues I can think of if you have more let me know and I'll answer them.


"We know that our current administration won't deal with this problem properly.  What exactly is going to happen and what exactly is going on?"  

Agree 100%


Democracy has failed us by only giving us 2 crappy options.  We need more than ever for a 3rd party to rise and end this left vs right nonsense.  It has polarized the nation at a time when we need to be brought together.  #teamcoup is more than just a Turkey thing, there will be a time in this country when it makes sense as well.


Adams, Jefferson, Washington, and Franklin would be sick to their stomachs today.

 

lol ... two things.

 

 

1) well, if a guy who owns a Turkish restaurant says so, who are we to argue.

 

2) read more American history. Adams, Jefferson, etc., would expect exactly what we have, as they helped start it. Read about the election of 1800. Jefferson especially was really into dirty tricks and playing political hardball.
