Better that looking like a idiot hugging a flag.

I love that picture of Trump hugging the flag. I'm sure if it was Obama (or anyone else for that matter who isn't Republican), you would have no problem with it.

That picture makes me want to cry because it tells so much truth. I saved it immediately to my screensaver. :mrgreen:

Me, TOO!! Instantly, Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" started playing, in my head.

Very interesting how Bush is on "their" side. They sure have that one right - he's a turncoat.

I came to check if anyone responded to my last post, and it appears they deleted it.

I don't think I violated any rules.

If I did, well, I didn't receive any email telling me so, so I can learn from my mistakes.

One user here wanted my words censored because he imagined I said a bunch of stuff I did not say. However, he did not ask for a prior post with the same content to be censored -- the one I responded too, because he agrees with those words.

So, the mods appear to arbitrarily censor posts.

PS: I know what I wrote verbatim, so if there was an error I can re-make the response verbatim.

I will repost this on that Dox-created conservative angst thread Alex was looking at.

People that have studied American history would know Trump is a quintessentially American character, you can compare him presidents like Andrew Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt. Trump definitely knows history better than the 9th circuit apparently since the law is clear as day.


Jackson was a genocidal psycho, while Teddy Roosevelt wouldn't tolerate being in the same room with Trump. Roosevelt wasn't a lying braggart, or shill for the big corporations. He had gained the antipathy of big business with his trust busting and government regulations, and would have considered Trump something to wipe off the bottom of his show, considering how orange Mussolini wants to kill environmental and business regulation, and strip animals off the endangered species list.

As far as "their side" is concerned, I notice the artist seems to think that the New Deal and civil rights were a bad thing, as both FDR and Lyndon Johnson are on "their side."

Sorry, but Breitbart also referred to what the pope wanted to say with it. However they also point out it could also be interpreted as denying the existence of terrorism with an Islamic justification/rationalisation. In other words the unintended meaning. And yes, the author in the rest of article goes with that interpretation for the rest of the article.

Also reading Francis his speech :

Quote:
No people is criminal or drug-trafficking or violent.


So the people of ISIS are not violent. Once again probably an unintended meaning, but they can hardly be called 'fundamentalist and violent individuals'. However it just shows again that at least part of his speech is ambiguous and could have multiple meanings.

ISIS isn't the people the Pope was referring to, I'm sure, as that's a criminal terrorist organization. Instead, he doubtlessly meant not all Syrians and Iraqis are violent, if you want to apply what he said to ISIS.

This is me.

Trump supporters see a successful president — and are frustrated with critics who don’t. https://tiny.iavian.net/fcym

From the article :

"Those who journeyed to Trump’s Saturday evening event on Florida’s Space Coast said that since the election, they have unfriended some of their liberal relatives or friends on Facebook. They don’t understand why major media outlets don’t see the same successful administration they have been cheering on. And they’re increasingly frustrated that Democrats — and some Republicans — are too slow to approve some of the president’s nominees and too quick to protest his every utterance."

“They’re stonewalling everything that he’s doing because they’re just being babies about it,” said Patricia Melani, 56, a Jersey native who now lives here and attended her third Trump rally Saturday. “All the loudmouths? They need to let it go. Let it go. Shut their mouths and let the man do what he’s got to do. We all shut our mouths when Obama got in the second time around, okay? So that’s what really needs to be done.”

And people can include members of a terrorist organisation. As in the people who are part of ISIS, and it still would a correct English phrase. And you could still not describe them as individuals as the pope does.

And do you think that if someone said that the people of the KKK are violent, that he meant to say that all Americans are violent.

And far as I see the point also remains that the text of the pope in that in regard is ambiguous and could mean more then one thing.

Internet-Regulating FEC Commissioner to Resign. https://tiny.iavian.net/fcv2

Praise the Lord! Leave Drudge alone!

From the article:

"Ann Ravel, who wanted to regulate political speech on the internet from websites such as the Drudge Report, announced Sunday that she is stepping down from her post."
