.....So I headed over an hour and a half before the doors were scheduled to open (which was 4 hours before Trump was set to take the stage) and the line already stretched a mile away from the entrance to the arena. As I waited, I chatted with the folks around me. And contrary to all the fears expressed, they were so nice! I was not harassed or intimidated and was never in fear of my safety even for a moment. These were average everyday people. They were veterans, school teachers, and small business owners and they had come from all over the place for the thrill of attending this rally. They were upbeat and excited. In chatting, I even let it slip that I was a democrat and the reaction was “Good for you! Welcome!”
-snip-
As I left the rally ... I knew that there was no way Trump was going to lose in November. Absolutely no way. I truly believe that it doesn’t matter who the Democrats nominate: Trump is going to trounce them. If you don’t believe me, attend one of his rallies and see for yourself. Don’t worry, they really won’t hurt you........
Today, I voted in the New Hampshire Democratic Primary for Pete Buttigieg....But tomorrow, I’ll be changing my voter registration from Democrat to Independent and walking away from the party I’ve spent the last 20 years in to sit in the middle for a while.

I have something that’s called a life outside of espousing anger and mass amounts of poo. I read to catch up on topics of the day. I am extremely selective on what I comment on. I live by the virtue, “it’s better to remain silent and be thought ignorant than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
I wish more would do the same.
Catch up on 102 and circle back
FR has always had a cadre of pharisees who specialize in moralistic preening. Nothing new. The Left doesn’t have a lock on political correctness, and can count on finding a few useful idiots among the GOP to help them enforce it.
You’ve got the wrong cat. Political correctness was given up at 17 the day I stepped on the yellow footprints at Parris Island at 17. There’s a stark difference between political correctness and downright antisemetic bigotry and those willing to jump to its defense.
So now wardaddy is an antisemite? I’m betting that would be news to his old Jewish girlfriends. And his Israeli business partners.
Accusations of bigotry, racism, and anti-semitism have long been the favorite smears of the Left. You’re doing nothing new.
Ohhhh I don’t know maybe invoking Jewish into the conversation within an article that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of being Jewish. Or maybe it was questioning someone’s undeclared sexual predelections based on appearance alone. Or maybe it’s pointing out a dislike for her appearance to discredit an intelligent message. Hell I don’t know maybe invoking color of skin into the conversation based on the way one dresses where it has absolutely no place. Or maybe it’s questioning someone’s educational acumen to discredit their message just because you don’t agree with it.
Your defense reasoning is akin to one stating, “I’m not racist because I have black friends.” Maybe he isn’t, I don’t know him but maybe you’d be better served to actually read one’s comments prior to jumping into the fray and defending someone blindly.
I know him. And I’ve read your sanctimonious PC posturing. I’m not impressed. I wasn’t impressed 50 years ago when I first ran across leftists doing the same thing.
it has nothing to do with being sanctimonious or PC posturing he was called out for making bigoted statements having absolutely nothing to do with the article at hand. You chose to come in here and defend said comments and then when you’re called out your inclination is to immediately call someone a “leftist” as a defense mechanism. How quaint and posh. He was wrong and you defended him just frickin own it.
What name do you use over at DU?
Thanks you’ve proven my point. The lesson has thus ended.
Fake marine
Virtue signaling harridan with a macho nick
That’s so Bush era round here Jargirl
Check you FRmail tough guy. Link sent
You better know who it is you’re talking to before you call someone fake. See I earned my stripes and can probably safely say accomplished more between the ages of 17-22 than you have in your life. GTFO here with your keyboard warrior schtick.
The problem is that liberals can’t be believed.
She’s not changing her party affiliation unless it’s to screw with a Republican primary.
what I love about this forum besides occasionally running into make believe fairies like you is how the very folks who virtue signali the most and throw out woke epithets and preach so much against “hate”
Are the rudest loudest nastiest most angry and hateful posters one sees here
Why so angry ..do you preach woke virtue to sate your shame of being such a nasty person with no provocation
They make meds for that ...
And the worst such as yourself never disclose anything about who they are.
Vitriolic invective...you might need to google that....hurled from behind a protective wall of make believe .
No real marine current or former is gonna be such a sissy
Nope....angry girl
Freep Mail is for my friends here. I assume we aren’t going to be friends
Be sure to tell the other BAMs about your big victory.
I love running into passive aggressives who are called out and when they are provided proof become verbose. Be passive or be aggressive. Don’t be both. It’s cute.
Two items have been proven within this quaint conversation. I’m a Marine (proven) and you sir are a bigot. That’s been proven as well. With that I move on. I don’t have time for keyboard warrior bigots.
