My highlighting made it seem like this toward the end was your comment.

It was mine.

You can think whatever you want, but making stuff up out of the blue when the man has clearly expressed a minset that is diametrically opposed to the conslusion you're jumping to, is not reasoned at all.

Did not mean to do that, and I missed it when proofreading.

You people are nuts. One word against something that Trump reasonably may have meant and all of this? What b/s. If Trump is anything like I think he is, he would call that b/s also. Who needs "Yes men?" Trump is the best thing to come down the pike since Reagan but he isn't freaking prefect. This blind faith in a political is freaking dangerous. It is what got us here in the first place.

Get a grip and realize that a reasonable challenge to something Trump may reasonably have meant is not unpatriotic. America needs true patriots who think for themselves, not blind sheeple. You are acting like the same dopes that blindly followed Obama around without questioning anything he said or did. Don't be part of the problem.

So you don't have anything to rebut in my post because you know it is true ; Trump did a great sacrifice to save America and that’s the only reason you have freedom right now. that you don't see that this is the important thing and is just worried about bashing me and Trump etc. . that shows what you are about

 Isn't it a reasoned expectation of the citizenship of the United States of American to have access to a job in order to be a contributing member of society, build a family, and a future?

YOU'RE the one that need to get a grasp on the realities of what America, the Constitution, and the free market are all about. There is NO Constitutional authority given to the feds to guarantee "access to a job".

It just keeps getting better.  It is now your expressed opinion that no Citizen of the United States should expect to find a job to support themselves, their families, their community, their state, and the nation.

Well, at least I don't have to insult you when you're doing such a good job on your own.


You've been brainwashed by government schools which feed the FDR pablum of government guaranteeing people stuff the Constitution gives the government no authority to guarantee.

I've not said the government should provide anything.  Once again, you're doing exactly what you did when you listened to or read Trump's Easter presentation.  Saying that a person should have every reason to epect to find a job, is not the same as saying they have every reason to demand the government supply one.  Please point to me the post where I said the government had to supply a job to each citizen.

The history of America, until the 1900's when government began to grow unconstitutionally, was people came to this country to be FREE from government and their "guarantees". They came because they wanted freedom from government and hoped, without ANY guarantees, that they could find opportunities in the free market or else in farming. Most did. Some didn't.

Yawn.

Freedom ALWAYS leaves some behind. There are no guarantees with freedom other than being left alone to do as you see fit. Freedom isn't perfect but it is way ahead of whatever is in second place.

I say reasonable expectation, and you read guarantee.

When I type "red", what do you see?  "blue"?

Thank you Sara. I didn’t want an apology.

“Oh, I see.”..., would have been great.

Take care.

You didn't even try to rebut any of the several points that I made in my post . All I see is “you people are crazy” so I'm crazy for writing the truth according you you. And that I'm a “Yes” man etc. . See you all you have is name calling . that's all your post is . And you did unfairly criticize President Trump as you see from all the reponses you got we got what you did. So no we are not crazy.

Let me ask you a question.

What is the goal here? Is Trump the goal or is a means to an end?

If he’s a means to an end, what is the end objective here in your opinion.

I want the federal government brought back into line with our founding principles.

It needs to shrink drastically, and we need to get our education system back to sound principles. We need to implement plans that at the very least gets the political views of educators on an even keel, roughly 50/50 leftist vs conservative, ideally 80-90/20-10 left vs right.

The media needs to justify their licenses, proving that they have provided non-biased, reasoned presentations of the news to the public. Publications should be graded as to content. If you’re presenting leftist propaganda all the time, you get a 10%. If you’re presenting an even balance, 50%. If you’re supporting our nation’s laws and Constitution, 80% plus. Let readers evaluate the content based on that and decide what they should be watching.

The publication can continue to put out propaganda, but the public will be able to assess just how balanced it is, and make decisions what to buy into.

Televisions in particular need to comply with certain guidelines to justify their licensing. If they can’t prove non-bias, don’t renew their licenses.

If they are shown to hide truth, like the perps who are committing terrorism, yank their licenses.

Educate the public. Explain what our Constitution supports. Explain why.

Reduce taxes and regulations. Get our people back to work. Pay down the debt. Reduce taxes further along the way.

Get non-producers producing again. That includes the 90 million or so out of work, including those who make up the Welfare state.

Address social security, medicare, and bring them under a private placement plan.

Get government out of health care as much as possible.

By the time we’re done, I want there to be very little the federal government still has it’s fingers in, to offer people for their votes.

Dismantle the connections between the government and the Leftist voter.

As much as possible promote legislation that focuses on producing the most plentiful and good paying jobs our populace could want. Self reliance is the goal.

Get it back to the place that it is looked down on to be on Welfare, unless you are disabled/born with a problem that makes it impossible for you to work.

Focus on crime using RICO laws to destroy gangs. Make it a federal crime to be involved in one.

Focus on dealing with religious and other leaders in depressed areas to develop community involvement so that there is a network to fight against gangs and crime, and help convince investors to move their businesses into those areas.

So assuming you’re saying Trump is a means to accomplish your list, do you think there’s something wrong with questioning Trump when he deviates from the goals you’ve laid out?

You changed the subject to the new topic.

I merely told you some things I’d like to see done.

I’m not happy with all that I wrote, but I was in a hurry and didn’t mind sending it off with some fixes still needed.

When he actually does something wrong, I’ll address it like I did when he backed Ryancare. I think I mentioned that up thread.

Did anyone notice when he used the buzz words "freedom of worship," instead of "freedom of religion?" Those are the same words that Hitlery and Obamanation would use.

That does not sit well with me, and other Christians. This nation was founded on the freedom of religion, specifically Christian religion. Not islam, not Buddist, not anything that is antithetical to biblical Christianity.

I know this area of thinking can be a real sticky wicket, but it needs exposure. If we're free only to "worship," and not freely espouse our Christian heritage, we're in a lot of trouble, and the Donald seems to be either oblivious to this, or waltzing to the same tune as the aforementioned Hiltery and Obamanation.

Didn’t hear a thing about ‘entitlements,’ did hear the President acknowledge those of us left behind and him working to change the economic culture so we have a chance to succeed, on our own, in freedom.
