The rise of the xenophobic hysteria that Trump pushes and his supporters applaud is about the fear of "them folks over there having what I got" - pure and simple. I think it's short-sighted and way too easy to blame "self-described liberals and their aggressive behavior." And the folks who "insist on insulting, condemning and giving themselves permission to spew hate speech about those who dare think differently than they do." sounds a whole, whole lot like the current GOP contenders and the sorry lot that didn't make the cut.<br /><br />I don't see anyone other than Trump and Cruz talking about banning folks or patrolling neighborhoods where "there there Mooslems (insert eye-roll here) live." I don't hear talk of building walls to keep people out, calling an entire nation of folks rapists and drug dealers or references to folks who look like me called one all-encompassing, homogenized term like "The Blacks" (which is pathetically derogatory) from the anyone else at all. Seriously.<br /><br />Guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Civil war is upon us, by design. It can't be stopped. <br /><br />The Founders predicted an "urban vs. rural" war in this country. It was one of their motivations for the electoral college. Also many provisions in the Bill of Rights. <br /><br />Political power consolidation to the urban takers against the rural maker, is what has lead us down this socialist/communist slope. <br /><br />South Africa is a great illustration of what kicking the dog results in. Also, what a dramatic shift in tribal political power results in. <br /><br />Obama was a massive shift in tribal power here and his "tribe" has gotten power lust and are kicking like crazy. Sadly, they are a minority (race and political tribesmen) and the dog they have been kick is very large and strong, though slow to anger...until now. <br /><br />We can only hope that the "bite" is big, fierce, quick and complete. Get it over quickly and completely, so as to mitigate the damage and destruction. Sadly, a false hope, I fear. <br /><br />Human history and human nature will not be denied.

"Keep Kicking" "...@ Billy Oblivion<br /><br />"Keep Kicking" "Shot and body in a ditch" Way to go Bill! That'll show them haters what it means to rile a Christian! Do you really not see how the above letter cuts both ways? The Author's repeated call is to "fight to stay in the middle" and that both extremes are wrong. Your reply above exclaims: "Screw the Middle, and to Hell with reason, GIVE ME VENGEANCE!!" Way to stay classy Bill. The Author is describing the dangers of taking your position Bill, not it's virtues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07682266441522396584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257423852337537095.post-79521240539983804922016-03-20T02:17:28.892-06:002016-03-20T02:17:28.892-06:00Who's that Joel Osteen?Who's that Joel Osteen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257423852337537095.post-78814522737326684242016-03-19T19:15:12.243-06:002016-03-19T19:15:12.243-06:00Keep kicking mate, keep kicking.
And then wonder ...Keep kicking mate, keep kicking.<br /><br />And then wonder why those "bible thumpers" shot you and kicked your carcass into the ditch. <br /><br />Between bible thumpers and west coast libs I'll take the bible thumpers any day. At least they have *something* that draws lines for them.

A minority where there are bills in 22 States to prevent us from using restrooms, labelling us perverts, pedophiles, rapists. A minority that has large, professional, well-rounded groups running courses on how to most effectively persecute us.<br /><br />Every one of us knows personally someone who has been slain. Yet we face a credibility problem, we can show the FBI reports, the facts, the figures, but how can such a bizarre situation be believed?<br /><br />One thing Activists like myself have learned. It is far, far too tempting to fight fire with fire, to fight lies with lies. Nietzsche said it best - "Those who fight monsters must beware they too don't become monsters thereby."<br /><br />I've seen it far too often. Those who oppose our existence are equally convinced of their own moral righteousness, hence the torture/rape/murders.<br /><br />However, we *are* a minority, a tiny one. The large-scale "violence" that only involves beatings and property damage rather than killings is probably even more harmful to society at large, even though no funerals are involved.

Yeah, that's pretty much where we're going. <br /><br />I voted for Obama, and that got me fracking just a couple of miles from my house & work and oil drilling off the coast (California is the 3rd most fracked state in the nation)--- I gotta worry about my water and I gotta swim thru sludge when I surf,<br /><br />so much for Hope & Change.<br /><br />2016 I'm voting for Trump. Because Bernie won't win or if he does won't have the power to get things done & Hillary will just have more fracking. Hell no to Ted Cruz, because between a big mouth and a Bible thumper, the Bible thumper's always gonna crazier, hands down.<br /><br />I'm independent but have always voted Democrat in the presidentials, I'm voting independents and Democrats like me, pro-Trumps, will be able to keep things in line. Hope against hope, right?

Thus I align more with the Libertarians than anyone- Most economic freedom as well as social/personal freedom. I also decided a LONG time ago I can no longer support voting for the lesser of two evils. So while my vote will not directly elect anyone, I also understand that the Perot effect may intact allow evil to be elected. In recent past elections the total amount of evil, IMHO was small when compared to this round as I think they are all at least a magnitude of order worse than ANYTHING in the past 30 some years.
