Hillary Clinton And Bernie Sanders Are Both Asses
I just wish there was a way to persuade the super-rich to pay their share of taxes. Appeal to their honorable side, so to speak.
It's the middle class that needs persuading.
When taxes go up, they hit the middle class the most (relative to their disposable income).
That is why many middle class voters defensively vote Republican.
Sanders has many tax increases on the poor and middle class (e.g. gas tax, emission tax, carbon tax ...).
If they would spend the tax revenue wisely and cut out the waste there would be plenty enough money and then some. Raising taxes is a feelgood measure that will precipitate more waste than anything.
There is no wisdom in government so I'm not going to have any pipedreams about government bureaucrats being guided by thier better angels or whatever. A small government wastes less and is less intrusive than a big one.

Agreed.
Assuming there is such a thing as "catastrophic climate change"
and why can't it be stopped? renewable fuels are now cheap enough to be competitive. whole cities have engineered themselves to be run on 100% renewable fuels.
If you're referring to the UN, you have no idea just how much of a joke the UN actually is. This is coming from a life long Arnold Schwarzenegger fan. If the US government really wanted to help with "climate change", they would introduce legislation to federally legalize hemp for commercial production.
Well strictly speaking she can call anybody anything she wants but they're all going to ignore her as long as she keeps prefacing with 'you people'...
If you think Angela's bad go back and read some of my posts from 2011-12. The echos of the pained cries of the left accompanied by my cruel laughter can still be faintly heard. This forum was full of particularly obnoxious liberals then so this was good hunting grounds for me.
I doubt you'll ignore her for prefacing with "you people" or anything else. You won't be able to help yourselves and sooner or later (probably sooner) you'll reply and I will enjoy reading it all. Condescension (especially when coming from non-progressives) pisses people (especially liberals) off too much for them to remain silent for long.

Because not enough people are drinking the "climate change" koolaid to give a s**t by participating for one thing.
The other is that much of the industrialized world outside the US (China comes to mind) won't do much more than token efforts if that much.
But I'm suddenly reminded that you're the one that believes gun control saves lives so I guess I should consider the source and not expect much...

I'd call drowning in mud catastrophic.

I'm saying, frequently, that kids who hang out in the streets, especially in urban areas, tend not to have much to do. They get bored. They get tempted to commit crimes. This happened to me and many other kids.
It's usually better when kids are occupied with doing something productive, rather than just sitting around all day in the house, or hanging out in the streets.
Of course, I just like pointing out dangerous tidbits of rhetoric before they get buried in context. Your actually spelling this out almost seems obligatory at this point, knowing your sensibilities. Fnord's been reminding us after all...

But wait, aren't the Democrats represented by the symbol of a donkey? So who are the real asses?
One more thing -
GO TRUMP!! GO TRUMP!! GO TRUMP!!
...
I would ridicule you, except unfortunately there is nothing I can say which would be worse than your own admission.

are you aware of what just happened in paris?
Hey CBerg, My friend:
I'm talking from experience. I was one of those kids who had nothing to do. I shoplifted. I could have done more things--but something told me that it wasn't wise.
I hope you don't think I have typical conservative proclivities, and that I'm stuck in my ways like an old man is supposed to be.
As usual, the Leftist, Liberal, Democrat response to equal treatment, being The Ass Party, is to attack the poster, and the other party, Trump, as being the evil, of evils, which makes them pure compared.
Continuing the attack on Trump is not a defense of your asses.
Supporters must feel lost, because your leaders give suck poor examples.
"Trump, bla, bla, bla, sexist, racist, bigot, bla, bla, bla. Trump is a bully, bla, bla, bla.
Where is your platform? Hidden in the 90+% Trump is, what they offer is only hinted at.
They are offering more of the same, but, one is a lighter shade of African than Obama, and the other claims to be more girly.
Trump is painted as the entrenched ruling evil of white, Protestant, male, blond, blue eyed, hard working and economically successful sexist, racist, bigot, bully.
The Rule of Trump must be stopped by people of color, minority religions, opposed to sex and gender classifications, micro aggressions, and having their feelings raped by disagreement. The American Political process must exclude all who disagree. Borders are old white male lies, everyone is the same and people who have never set foot in America should vote in our elections. Citizen is what the Slave Owners called themselves, we are free now.
Vote Democrat, vote Hebrew Communist, vote the Butcher of Arkansas! Vote early, vote often, and you will get the money we promised.
Trump is the evil establishment, he has been in power for six and a half months! He is deporting new born babies to Mexico, where they have never been and do not speak the language!
Trump would deny the Religion of Peace the right to travel masked without ID, and to practice their ways of beheading, stoning, and blowing up buildings that are thousands of years old. These basic religious freedoms must be defended to get votes.
Trump is the greatest threat to America, he must be stopped by name calling, crybullying, and emotional appeals.
America is too important to be run by people of ability. Democrats want their donors and friends in government office, they are the people who paid for the office, they should get what they paid for. It is the only way to bring in more billions for the next election Pageant. Thousands of appointed offices are the cash cow that makes politics work.
Trump is going to ruin everything!
Electing Trump is throwing away billions that will no longer be gifted to America's Chosen Leaders.
Gifting is the only way 2% minorities can express themselves, and in return be trusted with the Treasury, the State Department, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Only by stopping Trump can government, by for and of government, and their gifting friends, continue.
A vote for Trump and tens of thousands of people will have to apply for a real job. He will cause unemployment!
Removing illegals, halting immigration, rents will go down, and wages will go up.
A vote for Trump and Universal health Care will treat everyone. How is that fair to Insurance Companies? Our nation will be reduced to being just like all the other industrial countries, we will be like Canada! Half of all Medical Costs will be lost.
For these reasons and emotions, Trump must be stopped, bla, bla, bla, racist, sexist, bigot, bully.
