Conservative Politics & Daily Events Discussion

  • As a note protests are ongoing in the city of Lancaster which show BLM signs. I realize anyone can pick up a sign and post as a demonstration on behalf of BLM. Their is no control. But I also believe this movement could very well endorse and encourage any of these protests. Without passing judgement and without all the facts looking at the video it's hard to imagine anyone objecting with the officers actions. In fact my praise is with the office for his bravery and sympathy that he has to live with this situation which was no fault of his.


    Remember the BLM chants what do we want, dead cops. When do we want them, now! Pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon. Fast forward and the NFL, NBA and may other sports to include corporations and murky politicians support.


    My feeling is this will only get worse and if it does my question is will these endorsers ever walk back on the support?

    I saw the family on tv crying that the police should have more training in dealing with people with mental illness. he’s been

    Mentally ill for years. He wasn’t taking his medication. So who is responsible for getting him to take his medication? The family or the cops? Family failure not a cop failure.

  • The mother called the cops because he was getting aggressive. The cops knew him because he was due in court for slashing other people. He chased the cop before the cop shot him. What good would a social worker be at the scene?

  • different needs - - big government benefits you as a government employee - - small government benefits me as a non government employee


    Draining the swamp benefits me - - - as a government employee you rely on the swamp to provide your livelihood


    it is human nature is to support government decisions that are good for ones family - - not a bad thing, but it does put us on opposite sides of many political issues

    Generally true, though as I stated multiple times I vote for who I think is best for my City, State and Country.


    I voted for (R) Snyder for Michigan Governor twice and he won. I voted for (R)Bush Jr. Twice and he won. I voted for them because I liked them better than their opponents and felt they would do a better job for the State and Country respectively. I did so, knowing it may hurt my union job. I feel that if it is best for my State or Country it is ultimately best for me. I do not buy into party talking points and scare tactics. I fear nothing, all the fearful cries from the left and right do not influence me. I pay attention to what all sides do and say and make the most fully informed, rational decisions I can.


    I ALWAYS vote SELFLESSLY for who I believe is the best PERSON. I don't care about party lines, I wish there were none. I hold things dear that both sides separately hold dear. Very few candidates will protect the environment and the second amendment vigorously. Very few candidates will build up the military and fund social programs. Very few candidates will help businesses thrive and make them pay their fair share. Very few candidates will protect workers interests and health and businesses interests and health. I am forced to vote both sides.


    I tend to vote for the more centrist candidates, because they are less likely to erase progress from my previous choice. The further left or right they are, the more likely they will go after things I hold dear on the opposite side.

    As a human, I would not subconsciously jump out of a plane. For my Country I did.


    You must have missed that I think about it. I think about it a lot. My "best for the country" is just that. Best for my Countries security, economy, society, world(best for the world is best for the country) , environment, future, advancements in science and technology, impression by countries around the world, jobs, the constitution, allies, health and safety....


    Your statement in regards to me falls apart completely when put against my voting record. Sorry, that is a fact. According to you I subconsciously voted for Republicans to help myself at my Government, Union job. Just know I will "subconsciously"(according to you) be voting for (R) John James for the Senate, even though I know it will embolden Trump and be another person in the Senate "on Trumps side" and also not "help my Government job". My subconscious self really sucks.:rolleyes:


    You mistakenly think all people are mindless drones. Your projecting says a lot. It is good to know that all your positions and who you vote for are subconsciously done based on "the life you live". I will no longer fault you for the man crush you have on Trump. It isn't your fault, just a product of "the life you live".:*

  • This is for the both of you. We need to be thinking about what is best for the country, not what is best for us as a person and that just might be two different things.

  • I used to feel that way until I saw all the democrats voting in lock step with Fraulein pelosi..

    Blocking Trump at every turn....holding up much needed stimulus money for political gain...The phony investigations wasting millions of dollars....And on and on.....they have an agenda to turn this country into a socialist paradise..No condemnation of the looting and rioting, creating sanctuary cites, defunding police, trying to eliminate ICE.....protecting illegal aliens and promoting their illegal entry into the country....providing them with Free healthcare, drive licenses, welfare,,,,,,their is no compassion for the American people, the businesses lost and the High unemployment Numbers. all to keep trump from being #46....Vote straight republican...it’s our only chance.....to save the republic....our American way of life ....our freedom....or second amendment.....our survival...
