    Madness spreading everywhere.... Despite of an amazing community of believers working together to better know each others (www . coexister.fr/).

    A fistfull of fools causing death and sorrow everywhere.. Now is indeed the most important time to stick together and support peaceful cohabitation.

    It's the nastiest thorn we can stick in the side of those madmen..

    Absolutely. I mean, a German-born ethnic-Middle-Easterner killed a bunch of Germans in celebration of a white ethnic-Swedish man who killed a bunch of white ethnic-Swedes in protest of Middle-Easterners. Because there is anything behind this petulant global Nationalism backlash other than bad logic.

    Some problems are too complex for their solutions to fit into a tweet or a stump speech. And the RNC (to get back on topic) was devoid of concrete policy proposals other than to ban, lock up, or hang people. Unless the US has turned into a banana republic overnight, these suggestions constitute violations of human rights, international treaties, or basic human decency. Which, I am afraid, sums up all to nicely what happened in Cleveland: the Republican party is now the white power party.

    The desperation of the left is summed up once again


    Racist
    Misogynist
    Sexist
    Statist
    Nationalist
    Xenophobic
    Homophobic

    I am pretty sure I am forgetting a few "ists" and "ics" that the left is using to supplement their lack of substance in their platform


    Yet the two words that haunt Clinton more and more,, "Liar" "Criminal" as the DNC descends into chants of "Lock Her Up"

    ps; It looks like they got the message in Philadelphia, I saw a American Flag Display on the stage this morning

    Lack of substance on the platform? if I ever heard the pot calling the kettle black that's it.

    "The left" being Megyn Kelly, Joe Scarborough, William Kristol, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and many other Conservatives. Which puts your idol firmly into fascist territory. In the minds of high ranking GOP representatives.

    The simple question for the simple answer

    Over the last 7 1/2 years do you feel that the US and the World has moved in the right direction

    Yes ??? Then vote for Clinton and get 4 more years of the same and maybe more so

    No ??? Then vote Trump and hopefully change the course


    Everything else is irrelevant, when it comes to the 2016 Presidential election

    If you think electing il Duce President will alter things in the U.S and the world you might just as well go west to the Pacific and get a shovel and shovel the ocean back as it comes in.

    Much of what is happening in the world is the result of forces present for many years now whose effects are first being felt now. Things will never go back to what they were and anybody who thinks they will is just plain silly. if you elected Jesus he couldn't change things.

    It's a matter of getting the American people to accept reality and move on and not dwell in the past. it's also a waste of time trying to assign blame for the present conditions. There's enough of that to pin it on every politician out there.

    Wow that changed my mind, I sure don't want to shovel water

    Sounds like one of those "Shovel Ready Jobs" Obama was talking about 7 years ago
