Here's the thing to remember: Democrats pursue the LEFT side of the bell curve. ONLY. Statistics - the science - guarantees it will ALWAYS be there.
Worth contemplating. Politically speaking, a necessary contemplation indeed.

Excuse the vanity, but I had a sudden revelation Friday that I thought I'd share. A liberal co-worker was going on about Trump's "(expletive deleted) lies" during the debate. I asked him to name one. He said, "That (expletive deleted) about gays being thrown off buildings in the Middle East for one. He just makes (expletive deleted) up!" He laughed and shook his head in the familiar attitude of the self-righteous lib.
"Dude," I said. "That's true. They do that."
"(Expletive deleted)!"
"Look it up."
To his credit, he did some Googling. When I saw him later, he said,"I (expletive deleted) looked that up. That's (expletive deleted) twisted! I can't believe they (expletive deleted) do that (expletive deleted)!"
Which gave me a sudden realization -- nothing major to any of us around here but kind of startling nonetheless. People like my low-information co-worker are so low-information they are convinced Trump is lying or making things up when he is just stating the absolute truth that the mainstream media isn't giving them. I liked thinking that Trump's expressed truth about Hillary and crazy liberal nonsense was educating the low-info dullards, now I wonder just how many of them are so far gone, and don't bother to do the Googling my co-worker did, that they honestly think he's just making stuff up out of whole cloth.
Like I say, this doesn't surprise most of us here, but it's unsettling to think we live now in a society where perhaps a majority of the people are so propagandized they not only don't, but WON'T believe the truth.
End of rant.
Oh STFU stalker clown of FR.
And there is no medical ‘save the mothers life’ reason to abort a baby at any time really. Birth can be induced or a cesarean section if needed. Removing the baby by dismembering it doesn’t increase the mothers chance of living any more than if the baby is removed and given medical help to live!
That’s too bad. So weird so many of these people just plain go nuts when someone has a simple difference of opinion with them. It’s like they’re living on a knife’s edge of sanity to begin with.
My cousin in law is a lost cause. He is a rabid democrat and does not like Trump. During a phone call he said out of nowhere that Trump owed taxes and I replied that Warren Buffet owes more then a billion but he said no because Buffet said he had every tax return going back decades.
It made no sense but you cannot argue with democrats.
They try to lower you to their level and beat you with their experience.
Well now your co-worker has an expanded awareness to go along with his/her expansive vocabulary!
You’re (expletive deleted) right!
Unaware and compliant is how the left likes its voters....
Very common. I don’t even talk to theater people in NYC. So ignorant.
Many in D.C. are in on the gift. Many aren’t, but attacking the cabal is the third rail death to a career. So that latter faction rationalize that, though they will do little or nothing about the thieves and Marxists , free people may benefit more with their occupying a chair than losing it to a thieving Marxist.
“Once more into the breach! Not.”
You are not alone. I lost a 30 year friendship pretty much the same way. I don’t worry about it anymore. It was disturbing at the time it first happened. I figure I’m better off without her in my life. I like you guys here much more!
I’ve never seen so many people FORCE themselves to be ignorant, lest they run across an undeniable fact that clashes with their world view. Their minds are hammered shut.
What kills me is that all these people raking Trump over the coals for his “private” bull session with Billy Bush act like they’ve never said anything they would ever be ashamed of.
They want to hang their hat on to something, anything, to excuse themselves for voting for Hillary. And that video of shameful words is about the weakest imaginable, compared to all the shameful things Hillary has done.
I do not have any Liberal friends.
Maybe these people never learned to read in school so they get their political beliefs from late night comedians.
GAH! Jenny, FORCE themselves to be ignorant describes my former friend exactly. She said we had nothing in common and she was right. I’m a broken glass kind of gal and would walk over said material to vote for Trump. She hasn’t voted once in her life. It’s been years since I’ve spoken with her. Glad I have a higher caliber of people in my life now.
I’m very sorry to hear that. I know what that’s like, too. Once a couple old friends took Federal jobs, their views on just about every subject changed. They “grew” into their jobs.
In the past day, I posted some comments in the local paper that had an article about the Catholic Charity dinner in New York where Trump and Clinton did their pieces. Some guy came after me quite nastily about my comments so I rather patiently replied with some more comments. This time he came back slightly less nastily so I replied again. By this point, he and I are the only ones posting but by this point, he is now asking questions.... clearly he had gone to do some research about the stuff I was telling him. Up to my informing him about Project Veritas and WikiLeaks, he had never heard of them. I answered his questions and gave him more.... the last few posts have indicated that the blinders are now off him and he has just had a “Holy Crap, you’ve got to be kiddin” moment. Quite interesting...almost like watching a person come to Christ (well, nothing can compare to that).
