Read “Rules For Radicals” and the Bill Ayers interview that appeared in the 9/11/01 edition (the *early* edition) of the New York Times and you’ll understand.
Keep your eyes open, and your powder dry.
“Money money money
Money money money”
It’s not politics.
It’s not a difference in ideals or beliefs.
It’s about money.
The Democrat leaders make their fortunes pretending to be political.
The Democrat voters hope the Democrat leaders will steal some money for them.
Sorry, you haven’t been on FR long enough to be vetted.
Well, there are probably more productive things you could be doing with your time.
Check out the 45 Rules for Taking over America document written by the Communist Party and subject to Congressional hearings in 1963. You will see everything there. The Communists are now known as the Democrat Party.

I’ve been arguing with ardent English speaking leftists from all over the world since 2005. I’ve learned that reasoning with them usually doesn’t work. In fact, I kinda chuckle when I see a “new” conservative chimes in on one of these threads with the obvious attitude, “Oh, they’re just forgetting this one thing. Once I bring it up they’ll realize they are wrong.” But we all know that is not how it works.
I just like to use phrases like, “The first one to use ad-hominem has lost the argument.” Or, “opinions vary, thanks for sharing.”
Or, “The first one to get emotional has lost the argument.”
A favorite, “Feminists are so cute when they’re mad.”
Those all, in the right circumstances, can be extremely effective. These people are usually not idiots. They reflect about my post and, maybe after sleeping on it, revise their position. But one thing that is fascinating is that when thy actually try to refrain from using ad-hominem, they find they really have no argument and, sometimes, actually change their opinion.
A lot of us conservatives were once leftists. Many of these people are simply on the same journey.
The rest are destined to become gray ponytails. With age, comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone.
you establishment RINO globalist crony capitalist open borders GOPe bushite uniparty neocon !!!!!!!!
There’s a fascinating book written in 1921 titled, “Public Opinion,” by Walter Lippmann that answers your question. It reads like it was written yesterday. You can download it for free at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSVMG_cVFS4
But the short answer is, people look at the same thing but see something entirely different. He gives several examples you’ll instantly understand.
There are people who are paid to come to places like Free Republic and screw with Conservatives.
Carter Page was just being used as an excuse by using old outdated info to frame their reasons for getting a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump Campaign. he was really immaterial. The warrant was the object, he was just the means.
It could have been anybody that had ever had any contact with a Russian org.................................
You have to operate on a couple of basic principles
1) IF you oppose socialism you are the enemy of the left. They will employ any means to discredit you (racist, homophobe etc.
2) EVERYTHING in the media is gaslighting (lying to you to get you to fall in line.)
Once you have idenified these facts, everything else comes into clearer focus.
Sounds like you’re wasting too much time on twitter. It’s almost impossible to persuade a supercilious ingnoramus. Find something more productive to do with your time and try to find more friends and acquaintances who are discriminating, intelligent and knowledgeable. I’m not saying don’t continue your pursuit for the truth. It’s important that you do but it takes effort and eventually you will find trusted source and resources.
Save yourself the aggravation. You will be happier and more content. I promise you.
God is still in control. Nothing is surprising Him nor will it ever.
It’s really quite simple. The frog was contentedly sitting in the hot tub, maybe thinking that it was getting a bit warm, but hey, it was nice and relaxing.
Then, someone (Trump) came along and poked the frog (electorate), and realizing that it was in danger, more or less, or variations on that them, the frog has attempted to jump out of the pot.
Now, on the other hand, you have the vast, hungry multitudes, who were eagerly waiting to devour that frog, once it was good and cooked, and they’re very upset and disappointed that their dinner may escape before the feast.
(Oh, and what a feast it would be!)
So, given that, they are desperately trying to get the frog back in the pot where it belongs, and to punish that evil person who dared suggest that the frog might have a better life available to it.
That’s it, in a nutshell.
Just be aware - if they ever do succeed in their goals, they are going to slam the lid on that pot, and it is going to become a pressure cooker.
All that being said, what you are noting are various aspects of the psy-ops campaign being waged against both the frog, and the person who suggested that it get out of the pot.
Don’t expect their behavior to change. There are people out there (H, for example) who have spent their entire lives, and significant parts of their fortunes to make this come to pass, so that they can achieve their vision of paradise on earth. They will stop at nothing. If words, and propaganda do not succeed, and we will find out in November if that is the case, then more direct modes of action will be pursued.
You can count on it. They are desperate. A strong and free, united America is anathema to their future world vision.
It may be uncomfortable now, but ... don’t get back in the pot.

Asteroids
we are 1,000 years past average for an ELE (Extinction Level Event) The major governments are aware and are planning for the survival of the elite and the oligarchy. (look up denver airport underground) Mass deflection and misdirection is required to keep the masses occupied.
We are being bombarded with time wasting white noise to keep us from uprising and to divide us if an uprising begins. Turn a couple phrases and we are fighting each other as opposed to those at the top. Divided we are weak.

This is an earth cycle for regeneration nothing else a few humans make it through (Gobekli Tepe references this from 12,000 years ago) The Rich and powerful want to be that few.
so in short ignore the distraction and enjoy as much as you possibly can while you can!
Oh yeah if the Yellowstone caldera doesn’t get us first

One side is lying constantly and a great many people believe the lies. On some level I know why...what is collectively called “the Left” has been doing this sort of thing for 170 years since Marx published his Communist Manifesto. But on another level, I truly don’t know why Trump has been targeted this way. Why him? Why now? Is it because Leftists think the time has finally come to overthrow the U.S. as we have known it? Something bigger than just mindless, unwarranted hatred for one man seems to be afoot these days, but what it is, is difficult to grasp. Or maybe it’s too hard for my head to acknowledge what my instincts keep telling me. Those who say we are in the beginning stages of a civil war are right, I think.
