Another thing that makes America great! Ideological tollerance. Very good. Goes right along with freedom of speech and religion. In America you can have whatever ideology you want, you can express that ideology, you can practice your ideology. As long as your ideology doesn't include breaking American law, it's all good.

Or C, trying to get their names on something for posterity that really is a nothing in the grand scheme of saving our country to say that they accomplished something while in office.

That entirely depends on the size of the Mob. A Mob large enough may be considered a country.

Y'know,it may not be the most intellectual thing to say but it's still true that for everything the left throws at the right it/they should look in the mirror. It amazing how all this Trump trashing goes on and yet what , Hillary is teflon and is pure as the driven snow ? Really? So rather than sling all the bad things about her,....how bout listing her accomplishments ? Fine,the right is nuts,racist,gun toting ,white christian low intellect and wrong wrong wrong etc. etc. fine you've bashed that to smithereens. All rightist are clearly wrong . So let's hear about this lady of sweet virtue and how righteous she is? Floors open........

Hmm my take on Hillary is that whatever popularity she recruited politically has less to do with her achievements in public office and more to do with her hubby Bubba's popularity among Dems. Regardless of Bills scandalous presidency, Many view his administration as a successful one. I think her supporters are projecting his achievements into her or at least feel he will have some influence. She by herself comes off as a the most uninspired candidate of all time. I think many see her as just power hungry, ambitious, insincere political hack that has the apparent ability to switch accents on the fly depending to what part of the nation she is addressing.

I believe many folk feel this pressure to walk on egg shells when it comes to what they might say or converse in their daily lives. It doesnt feel right for many that might notice the difference from days gone bye. I think just a little bit that Trump tapped into this sentiment of "why cant I say that and who the he'll are you people anyway."

Couldn't agree more. In a different thread I made the comment something akin to "the PC movement has created a culture of pansies to afraid to speak their minds" and had a few on here go bat chit crazy over it. So be forewarned that you might stir the nest by suggesting what you suggested although I COMPLETELY agree with you.

Perfect example of going a little to far with the PC movement. Remember the days when you were in grade school and had pretty kool old guy as the janitor. Well not anymore, he's a custodial engineer or environmental engineer now. Still pushes the same broom and covers puke with saw dust or cat litter. But he's still a kool old guy though. There are a million and one examples just like this to illustrate my point.

Hey I resemble that remark. I am a cool not so old guy and a custodial engineer. I don't clean puke (and they do not use saw dust or cat litter)or push a broom. I am responsible for the maintenance and cleanliness of the building. I order supplies I write my crews pay checks, carry my own workers compensation insurance. I just had to throw that out there. Sometimes things are what they are. You know what happens when you assume.

It may not be my country, but the decision you guys make effects the rest of the world. While he is undoubtably a great businessman, I worry that once he gets into international politics he will show the same 'bull-at the-gate' approach that turned people off Reagan and Bush. I reckon his IQ is probably double that of the three previous Republican Presidents combined and I feel that all those Presidents lacked the true statesmanship shown by Clinton and Obama. That said, I am neither Democratic, nor Republican. My personal feeling on politics is that we, the citizens, are the prey caught between two predators and we play a balancing game designed to keep either side from devouring us. In the words of someone who's name escapes me, 'The citizens of a State are like the residents of a prison, except that every three to five years they are given the opportunity to vote on who their captors will be for the next three to five years and the decisions they make justify their imprisonment in the first place.' So, current US politics, what do you think?

I will vote for neither mentioned.
