Explain something to me Tobie. You bring up the topic of tokens. What are we, as conservatives supposed to do? The overwhelming majority of African Americans vote democrat. That leaves a very small percentage of African Americans who are possibly republicans. Now, taking into account the fact that African Americans make up a relatively small percentage of all Americans, that leaves Republicans with a dilemma. There aren't a lot of African American Republican politicians out there. So, when there is one that we really like, we are accused of using them as a token. But, when there isn't one, we are the racist party. What are we supposed to do? When is the magic number that will make you happy?

This makes me sick to my stomach.

First off, take that Trump crap somewhere else. I didn't vote for him and probably won't next time unless Texas is competitive and me not voting would put a leftist in the WH. I have liked some things he does, but others not so much. So, once again, you can take that argument and shove it up your big behind. Secondly, I am a free thinker who doesn't need someone in my party to dictate my thoughts and actions, quite different from you. You seem to blindly follow whatever they tell you. We refer to you all as "dim"s for a reason. Third, this thread is about Obama conning America. You are the first one to always say politicians are crooked. Why can't you say that Obama got you on this one. Or could it be that his skin color matters more than the facts. Just be consistent and people can respect your opinion on here.

If if's and but's were candy and nuts, it would be Christmas everyday. IF Zimmerman's community hadn't had a crime problem, there would be no need for a neighborhood watch. IF Zimmerman had assumed that someone out and about in their neighborhood after dark wasn't worth checking out, Martin wouldn't have attacked him. IF he hadn't profiled him as a threat to his safety, he would have let him continue whipping his a**, instead of defending himself. IF his parents had done a good job, Martin would have been at home studying to become a pilot. See, I can play the if game to. All kidding aside, we have to be honest here. this was a bad situation that ended tragically. We can't say if this or if that, because we don't know what was in their hearts and minds when this happened. There were things both parties could have done to prevent this. It shouldn't have ended the way it did. In the end, Trayvon isn't coming back and Zimmerman has to live with the fact that he took someone's life. It is a very sad situation.

Yes and yes. Obama's unemployment numbers- for much of his presidency, those numbers were manipulated to look better than they actually were. This is not even debatable. When you change how you count who is unemployed, those numbers are manipulated from the traditional method of counting them. AKA-Fake Trump's unemployment numbers- It isn't surprising that the unemployment numbers have dropped under Trump. He is a successful businessman and campaigned on the promise of removing regulations on businesses that prevented them from hiring. His hire American mindset has eased many employers minds and they have responded by expanding their workforce.

Why shouldn't he be fired? It wasn't to long ago that all the libs wanted him fired for costing Hillary the election. Now, all the pubs want him fired. Sounds like we should all be in agreement on this one.

This thread is hilarious. Obama slammed Wall Street for years and you leftists loved him for it. Now, when someone points out that he is now being a hypocrite by taking their money, your response is to claim racism and attack Trump. Call it like it is. He played us all by bashing wall street and their greed and is now making big bucks off of them. I have no ill will for him taking their money. That is capitalism at work. If they want to waste their money listening to his socialist talk, go right ahead. It should hurt his credibility with his liberal base, but it won't. And my friends, that is why our country is collapsing. Right and wrong no longer matter. Defend your party at all costs.

I do agree that the UN is pointless. With the automatic veto, nothing can get accomplished. But the US can not pull out because we have to be a balancing power against Russia and China on many issues. We can not give up our veto.

I know what the rules of engagement were and according to the article, forces were told not to fire. According to the rules of engagement quoted in the article, the commanders were in the right telling them not to fire. Now, if this had been during the Bush era, the commanding officers would have told them to fire based on those rules of engagement The rules of engagement enacted by the Obama administration led to this decision. I don't think it is a far stretch to say that.

You won't get any responses from the left on this one. Fair share is simply a ploy to get votes.

That is a very evasive answer and you know it. It is obvious that Obama had final say in the rules of engagement that were used in Afghanistan. To argue otherwise is stupid. The real debate is whether these rules resulted in the deaths of these Americans in this instance. I would tend to believe that if Bush's rules were in place, the situation possibly could have ended differently. That is Monday morning quarterbacking, but I believe we have the best military in the world and if they were allowed to fight, they would have most likely not lost that chopper.

That would be to nice for this piece of crap. Some good ole street justice may serve better in this instance.

If you were Assad, would you really just surrender your country after years of Civil War because the USA completely flattened an airfield? Of course you wouldn't. Fear has nothing to do with this. It is a necessity for him at this point to continue fighting. I suspect he will die before surrendering his country. The key point is that the bombs he fired after the missile attack were traditional and not chemical. Therefore, he got the point. His response shows that he doesn't consider Trump a joke. If he did, he would have launched another chemical attack to prove it. As far as Kim Jung Un being afraid, insane people generally aren't afraid of anything. That is what makes him so dangerous.

I don't understand how any of this is relevant. What difference does it make what his profession was or his past history? What if he were a school teacher or garbage collector? It really doesn't matter. United screwed up and should have NEVER used force to remove him. They should have kept increasing their offer until he or someone else accepted it. Had they been on the ball and not allowed him to board to begin with, there would never had been a story. They were incompetent and they are paying for it, and it will cost way more than $800.

Why should the guy get off the plane? On what grounds were they removing him? He had purchased a ticket to board the plane. United had accepted the ticket when they allowed him to board. He wasn't a threat/danger to the flight. The fault is entirely United's. If they had done this before boarding, it may have been different. There is no excuse whatsoever for this.

It's sad that this is all they can agree on. At this point, I say they do like they did with Obamacare and pass a term limit amendment and grandfather themselves out of it. At least that way they would eventually be gone.

I'm glad she is hanging around and staying relevant within the democratic party. That shows me they haven't learned from this past election. I hope they run her again next time.

I'm with the Freedom Caucus on this one and someone needs to change Trump's twitter login. Trump will need their votes going forward and it was stupid to threaten them for doing what their constituents voted them in to do.

Oh, I didn't see that you beat me to it.

Occasionally. But I live in China, so my schedule is a bit different from yours.

Good post!!

No, it doesn't. I read an article the other day about transabled people. These are people who are amputating limbs because they believe they were born to be disabled. And these people claim it isn't a psychological disorder.

To those who say gender can be chosen, why not race? [Hidden Content]
