She added that four Americans were dead and that was the point.<br /><br />Reasonable Americans understood the point she was making. Morons like poppycock and Tom think that Hillary conspired with the terrorists to attack the consulate and was covering up her complicity.

Debatable, but not a lie. <br /><br />So tell me - where and when did your fantasy of successful pure capitalism exist? Do you believe in the Easter Bunny?

Can you give me the quote that Bernie said which shows he was saying something he knows was not true regarding these issues?<br /><br />Can we provide free college? Of course, many countries do (Finland, Germany, and many more). Are you also against free public school up until grade 12? Why the arbitrary cut-off there? Why not until the 16th "grade"? But this is opinion. Where is the Bernie lie in the matter?<br /><br />Here are actual lies, words coming out of Trump's mouth that are simply not true:<br /><br /> "The NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence electoral process." <br /><br />"it was the biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan,”<br /><br />"It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of our country."<br /><br /> "the murder rate in the USA is the highest it's been in 45 to 47 years."<br /><br />" Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage" (not travel ban related)<br /><br />“I happened to be in Scotland, at Turnberry, cutting a ribbon, when Brexit happened, this was the day before..."<br /><br />Philadelphia's murder rate is "steady, I mean just terribly increasing."<br /><br />"The president of Mexico and myself have agreed to cancel our planned meeting" (no, he bailed on Trump on his own accord)<br /><br /> "Look, when President Obama was there two weeks ago making a speech, two people were shot and killed during his speech,"<br /><br />"The audience was the biggest ever"<br /><br /><br />So there are a few for starters, and I am still waiting on any examples of Bernie lies.<br /><br />B.S.

Let's see how that equation turns out. <br /><br />As for shouting, dopey chants of "Make America Great Again" and "Lock her up" have gotten us where? Drowning out free speech? What Trump and his ilk are trying to do is drown out the truth.<br /><br />And I might suggest that alt-righters are ignorant a-holes, but that would be a cheap shot, unworthy of me. So I won't make the suggestion.<br /><br />B.S.

Liberals embrace postmodernism, which holds that there is no such thing as objective truth, which is why they can keep a straight face when they exalt such demi-gods as Hillary, Barack, & Bernie. "Truth" is not part of the equation.<br /><br />Conservatives, on the other hand, understand that those elected to high office are perhaps even more fallen that the rest of the unwashed, and do their best with their common sense, their experience, and their discernment to make choices from a hugely imperfect offering.<br /><br />As for callouses, the most likely place to find them on liberals is on their vocal chords, particularly those used for shouting down others with screams of black lives matter and similar bumper sticker nuggets in order to demonstrate their unswerving commitment to the principles of "free speech."<br /><br />I could suggest that many also have them on their knees for kneeling in humility before their idols, but that would be a cheap shot, and unworthy of me. So I won't make the suggestion.<br /><br />By the way, I hope the fires in your hair have burned out with minimal collateral damage.P. C.

I clung to Bernie instead, but I think we both had in common that we really wanted to shake things up. To stop the political bullshit.

Your worldview always comes across as so absurdly black and white. I just don't witness your remedial and simplistic view of the immense depth and variety of God's human creation in my daily life. Lumping the entire American population into one of two caricatures that really only exist in political cartoons is the stuff of an Onion article, not the distilled conclusions of a serious and objective observer of the political landscape. Many of the calloused, working-class heroes you allude to have been staunch Democratic unionists for generations, and many of the uncalloused, coastal, effete snobs who are endlessly rescued by your blue-collar superheroes, only a short time ago, were lauded by the conservative media as job creators. But now, it seems like your good guys have become the bad guys and your bad guys have become the good guys simple because Trump decreed it so.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343163377040116742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-29868990480454350422017-04-19T15:37:38.896-04:002017-04-19T15:37:38.896-04:00And how does the alt-right get calluses?
