I have a friend who used to do platform work for the demoncraps at the Texas state convention. He is now a Republican. But what converted him was his experience on the committee. He realized that the one kind of person that the dems dislike the most are straight white men. Can’t have much of a party when straight white men are dissed bigtime.

The dumb bastards let the hippies take over the party along with its direction.

Democrats in Chicago think that rural and small town people are stupid. Southern people are stupid too. Democrats assume that folks out side of the cities are racist because they are stupid. And with some education they can be changed to understand that global warming is real, Hillary really knows more about governing so just vote for her. And that there should be an IQ test for voting. But because there isn’t. We should make sure the schools teach democrat values so future generations know how to vote. We live among them and at every party this is the theme.

years ago I realized that the crazy extremists in the democrat party scared me more then the crazy extremists in the republican party. the reason being in the demacrat party they make policy for the party in the republican party they tend to be ignored.

That was the reason I became a republican to the shock of my parents. who hated the Regan revolution.

For crying out loud! Why do conservatives keep trying to wise up liberals? Did you ever consider one or two among them might listen and get it right? “Never smarten up a chump’’ W.C. Fields used to say.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet, let us count some ways:
  1. Support for racist organizations like BLM.
  2. Disrespecting and destroying the US Flag.
  3. Perversion and subversion posing as art.
  4. Pushing lies as if facts -- AGW being the worst.
  5. Polluting the airwaves with a steady stream of partisan piss, in order to (in the term coined by the despicable leftist, Noam Chomsky) "manufacture consent".
  6. Partisan Media Shills, including but not limited to tax-supported NPR and PBS.
  7. Abortion on demand.
  8. Wide-open, genderless restrooms.
  9. Lawfare against Christians, particularly Christians in business.
  10. Replacement of the Ten Commandments with statues of Baphomet.
  11. Trying to end-run the First Amendment with bull**** like "zero tolerance policies", "diversity", "inclusiveness".
  12. Crushing US industries.
  13. Creating US unemployment.
  14. Destabilizing the country and the economy with millions of illegals, many of whom are criminals.
  15. Using DNC-run front orgs like the ACLU and SPLC to conduct lawfare against US citizens.
  16. Destroying public schools.
  17. Raising taxes.
  18. Lying about the nature of tax reform / tax cuts.

They said they don’t know how to talk to them, not they are one of them.

It’s this simple: we love our country and the Dems do not. That divide isn’t going to be bridged by smooth talk and clever pandering, because the message “America is evil and we’re going to change it fundamentally into something more to our liking and you’re in the way” is always going to founder in the face of “God Bless America”.

Middle America can flip over a newborn animal and tell if it’s a boy or a girl...they cannot.

That is another hateful aspect of Middle America. The next democrat in our White House will issue an executive order barring people from gendering newborn animals until they see where that individual animal chooses to identify on the gender-fluid spectrum, and barring them from assuming that any animal's chosen gender identity is fixed for life or even from one moment to the next. That will show those hicks that democrats care about Middle America and even about our livestock.

“Oh, let’s see. Kneeling for the Anthem, Bathrooms at Target, Forcing someone to bake a cake, Forcing Littlse Sisters to provide abortions, Baskets of Deplorables, Clinging to guns and religion, Coalworkers will adjust and get retrained, Strip searches at airports, the Police acted Stupidly, Rain from your roof is the Federal Governments. Water in a ditch is a running stream.”

That’s an awesome summary. Are you keeping a list or was that off the cuff?

Regards,
Gen.

From the column: Instead, it’s dedicated to the idea that the one-size-fits-all imposition of coastal values onto the Democratic Party has doomed it to a minority status that was only masked by Obama’s success.

Without saying directly, this view highlights the impossibility of a truly national government that functionally eradicates much of state-government authority.

What statists call diversity is really a numbing uniformity of thoughts and deeds hostile to America's first principles.

Want republican diversity? Repeal the 17th Amendment to restore our states to their proper role in a federal government for a diverse people.

Article V.

It was off the cuff. However, I think the Dems have left us more legitimate reasons to not vote for them than the number of fake excuses Hillary has told us why she lost the election. In other words, it is a HUGE number of reasons why Dems have lost touch.

"This list could go on and on. The fact that they think all of that is a good and moral agenda is the reason they are losing."

Lets just hope they keep right on losing.. But we better start worrying about what's going on down at the schoolhouse.... Their messing with the kids in ways that would scare the heck out of all of us...!

"Maryland Rep. John Delaney said that when the biggest narcissist in history manages to do a better job of convincing an impressive number of Democrats and independents that he cares about them, “there’s a lesson there."

The stupidity runs deep in this one.....

Yeah, I'm amazed Obama managed it, too.

No, they don’t believe in an IQ test for voting. It would bar most of a particular Dem group from voting.
