Cuba having better healthcare is a myth. Another lie perpetrated by the elitist Left. And when you take away the ability to make profits in the medical profession, we can kiss goodbye the chances of new cures being developed. Do you think Viagra would have been "invented" if there was no possibility of generating a profit? The American Values I'm referring to should be universal throughout the country, and were at one time. Hard work, whether physical or mental preparedness, and the desire for self-reliance was the key to advancement. The victimhood mentality was not acceptable. The "this country owes me" was also unacceptable. These were never regional values. And I do not know of anyone that thinks building a wall will fix the immigration problem. Most, if not all, of the people I know are not that stupid. But many on the Left seem to think so. There are sheeple on both sides, but the Left have more than a hundred to one ratio. No equivalence.

The Civil War was not fought over slavery so I don't know why it would embody painful memories for Blacks. Perhaps it is because many White racist hate groups adopted the flag. I am anti-Union and have a strong desire to secede from the United States. The reason for my wanting to secede is because of Liberals moving us away from the founding ideas of this nation. Top of the list is progressive social issues. So yes, I do want Conservatives fighting for progressive social issues. This whole country, not just Texas, was founded on independence and self-reliance. For some reason, the Liberals want to move us to a socialistic style governance. Considering nowhere in history has this ever worked, I would label that a mental disease and the very definition of insanity.

Anyone that thinks the common sense pendulum is currently in the middle is lacking common sense. The hatred displayed by the Left for practically every American value is on full display and unparalleled with anything on the Right. The downright arrogance and elitism displayed by the Left is undeniable. The lies the Leftist elitists have propagated on their sheeple (Man-Made Global Warming, Gender Pay Gap, Socialized Medicine, etc.) is unfathomable. No equivalence.

I don't know about lucky. Trump would have won the popular vote in that scenario. Is it odd that most of the people that believe in Man-Made Global Warming are the same ones living in the areas most prone to devastation due to sea level rise?

Can you name examples of mental illness on the Conservative side? I can name of few, but for every one you have about a hundred on the Liberal side. Not equivalent. That's like saying the I.R.S. targeted both parties when 120+ Conservative groups where targeted and only 5 or so where held up on the Democrat side. If this was a basketball game and you see a score of 126-7 you wouldn't say "Well both sides scored points."

Once I found out 8 years ago that Obama was a big supporter of Man-Made Global Warming Theory I knew he was as big a fraud as Al Gore. They both should be in prison for treason for perpetuating this hoax on the American Taxpayer. Throw in Hillary and about 90% of the Liberals with them. And if anyone doesn't think it is a hoax, please point to evidence where Man is the cause of global warming and this warming is catastrophic to Earth's health. This should be a simple task for any subject that has 97% agreement amongst the experts in that field. I loved the comment in the link that Rebgp posted (and the same comment I've used on many occasions). When asked if you are frightened of Climate Change, the best answer is "I'm not frightened of Climate Change, I'm frightened of Climate Change solutions."

The DNC talking heads are going around saying "The Russians influenced the election. Every intelligence agency says so. Trust me." (I trust no one that says "Trust me".) I find it very odd that these same people are saying "Trust us" without providing any proof, then lambast Israel for not providing proof when Israel says that Obama orchestrated the U.N. resolution against them. And the DNC won't even mention Obama trying to influence the Israeli elections. Hypocritical is a word becoming entirely synonymous with the DNC. But please keep spitting out those completely false and derogatory remarks about the GOP base, it helps show the most ardent Democrats your true Liberal colors. And I find it extremely hilarious that Democrats are focusing on Russia instead of the content of the leaked emails. If you received photos of your spouse having sex with another person, is your reaction going to be "I must punish whoever took these photos."

The SEC's lone win came via Mississippi St blocking a chip shot field goal by Miami (OH) as time expired to preserve a 17-16 win. If not for that play, the SEC would by 0-5 right now. The state of North Carolina is doing the best among states at this point at 3-0 with one game remaining. Alabama is 1-0 with 3 games left. Florida is at 2-1 with 2 games left. Oklahoma is 2-0 with 1 game left. California and Kentucky are both 1-0 with 2 games left. Texas is sitting at 1-4 with one game remaining. Ohio and Tennessee are both 0-3 with one game remaining. Michigan is 0-2 with 2 games remaining.

Just another swing and a miss. Hell, you can't even get a foul tip. You might want to try bunting.

And yet you never answered my question posed to you numerous times. Are you outraged at Obama for trying to interfere in the Israeli elections? Why won't you answer a simple question? You seem perturbed at Russia for allegedly interfering in the U.S. elections, but you can't bring yourself to condemn your almighty God Obama for doing precisely the same thing. Why not? Is this the definitive definition of hypocrite?

Me too.

And many on the Left still try to claim Obama was treated harshly. Obama has been and still is the most coddled president in American history. Trump hasn't even taken office and has already endured more crass and pathetic treatment than any other president in American history. Unlike Man-Made Global Warming, this is indisputable.

I had a feeling it wouldn't last long. I got that post in just under the wire.

Are you sure about that second one?

As of now, Big12 is the only conference without a loss!

This coming from a person that is incorrect on practically every post.

The Clintons are in it for their gain. Being a politician has "earned" them millions upon millions of dollars. And please explain how you think Trump is in it for his gain. You might be right. I would like to hear your rationale. (Another example of my foolish optimism.)

Face it, you thought you had a hit piece but failed miserably.

How do we know he tried? You are the one making accusations. Show us your evidence that led you to the conclusion that Trump Winery didn't try to hire Americans. The burden of proof falls on the accuser...which happens to be you. Kids used to be taught that at elementary age. And yes, TVC is a nice source. Can you point to any accusations he has made then failed to provide evidence? Can you say the same about yourself? (Both questions are rhetorical, every one reading this already knows the answers.) I answered directly, no deflecting. Do you even know the meaning? Speaking of deflecting, show me where your article is evidence that Trump is not putting Americans back to work. Show me where your article is evidence Trump is not helping the middle class. Show me where your article is evidence that Trump is a liar. You want to see evidence of deflection, look no further than your post. It's hard to believe I feel obligated to waste two minutes of my life to answer such a childish post. For some reason I feel you will learn something while knowing full well nothing will change. Such foolish optimism.

No, a reputable source would say Australia's gun ban has brought gun murder rates down from minuscule to microscopic. No reputable source I have seen even tries to correlate the same rate of decline for robbery, rape, and other crimes. And none have attempted to calculate the exposure to foreign invasion. The "reputable" research is non-existent.

Yes, let's call out the hypocrites. Hypocrites are the ones that gave Hillary a pass on everything, now want to criticize Trump for seemingly similar behavior (in their biased hate-filled minds). And this article sounds like it was written by a little whiney, immature 8th grader. His "proof" starts with the contention that Trump said Goldman Sachs controls Ted Cruz. The author then tries to say Trump is a hypocrite for appointing Wall Street employees. How is this supposed to be hypocritical? The Liberal hypocrites are the ones that complain about Wall Street being these subhuman predators not worthy of life, all the while begging them for campaign donations. Trump said that he thinks Goldman Sachs can control Ted. How does that disqualify everyone from Wall Street being appointed to his cabinet? I quit reading after that whopper. Your continual picks of "newsworthy" sources just reinforces the already well-establish biased, uniformed, misinformed, hate-filled position you hold.

Here's a better (and extremely more trustworthy) source for the information: [Hidden Content] What makes you think that Trump Winery did not try to hire people from the U.S.? Do you have some secret inside information? To get these Visas the company has to demonstrate that American workers are not available. Have they failed in this? Should Trump Winery by-pass the Visa application process and just hire illegals (as TVC demonstrated in his post)? And why did you word the post the way you did? Do you think that Trump Winery was exporting the jobs? Do you not understand that these jobs are still here in the U.S.? "Bringing back jobs to America" means that certain jobs were lost to other countries and Trump wants to re-establish these jobs in the U.S. Trump Winery never exported jobs to other countries...they are still here in the U.S. Your post shows a complete lack of understanding of the subject. It doesn't even deserve the obligatory "nice try"...especially after TVC just ripped your original postulation to shreds.

Can you name a vote that didn't count? Please point out someone's vote that didn't count. I bet you can't name a single one. If you are playing volleyball and score 25 points in the first game, do any of those points not count? Same as in tennis. Your lack of understanding of the Electoral College system is mind-boggling, especially when the system has been analyzed on every talk show since the election. I guess that's what happens when your only source of "news" is far left political hack sources. Should a few big cities with no diversity of thought dictate who governs the rest of the country?

I picked mine as an homage to Engelbert Humperdinck. He gave Jimi Hendrix his start. I can't imagine the audience's reaction back in 1966 when attending a concert by a straight-laced lily-white crooner, and out comes this black, huge afro, left handed psychedelic electric guitar player to open the gig (Psychedelic music at the time was big amongst the younger generation but was considered taboo for mainstream...the exact audience that would attend an Engelbert Humperdinck concert). Humperdinck took a huge chance of racial backlash, but was convinced Hendrix's talent would carry the day. I had been using the username for years before I realized I was using the wrong spelling. By that time I figured it was too hard to change it.

I doubt if any could reach a number without a preceding ".".
