I bet he would soil his pants and start to panicking if he was in that situation! And Donald Trump has NOT! I have only done simulated situations in the army and that was scary enough. And Donald Trump has NOT! |

From now until November I will be following the Gary Johnson campaign and if in the weeks preceding the election his numbers are good enough to consider him a viable winner I will vote for him. But if it appears that he will be a distant third or worse I'll still vote for Trump. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

Love it when someone smarter than me writes down thoughts I've been having and writing 'em better than I ever could: From: http://robertreich.org/ The Five Principles of Patriotism We talk a lot about Patriotism, especially around July 4th, but we need also to take to heart its five basic principles. First: True patriotism isn’t simply about waving the American flag. And it’s not mostly about securing our borders, putting up walls and keeping others out. It’s about coming together for the common good. Second: Real patriotism is not cheap. It requires taking on a fair share of the burdens of keeping America going – being willing to pay taxes in full rather than seeking tax loopholes and squirreling away money abroad. Not just voting but becoming politically active, volunteering time and energy to improving this country. Third: Patriotism is about preserving, fortifying, and protecting our democracy, not inundating it with big money and buying off politicians. It means defending the right to vote and ensuring more Americans are heard, not fewer. Fourth: True patriots don’t hate the government of the United States. They’re proud of their country and know the government is a tool to help us solve problems together. They may not like everything it does, and they justifiably worry when special interests gain too much power over it. But true patriots work to improve our government, not destroy it. Finally, patriots don’t pander to divisiveness. They don’t fuel racist or religious or ethnic divisions. They aren’t homophobic or sexist or racist. To the contrary, true patriots seek to confirm and strengthen and celebrate the “we†in “we the people of the United States.†Have a happy and safe Fourth of July. |

Clinton Skates!Meaning.........? Perhaps it's a reference to F.B.I. Director James Comey Recommends No Charges for Hillary Clinton on Email. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Clinton Skates!Meaning.........? I did think people were at least somewhat informed about the world here. Perhaps I was wrong, and what a comment that makes on supporters of a candidate. |

I was just watching Trump's rally in Raleigh, and he really has some anger issues. He kept going on about Obama saying ISIL instead of ISIS. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Sarge it is Obama that has stopped things like minimum wage , health care OR I really ... really ... really wish you would read all related posts made by an individual. You act as though criticizing anything Obama has or has not done means I wanted McCain in 2008 or Romney in 2012. You act as if any critique of Hillary now means support for Trump. Show me where Obama really fought for anything regarding wages. If I make claims that: Obama (and Hillary) are neo-liberals, which are essentially neo-cons except on a few social issues ,,, Who are pro-Wall Street, which has done tremendously under Obama ... While the MAIN street economy (the non-elites, i.e., just about everybody else) has been stuck where they were in 2008 or are worse off ... and I think I have provided a few links here or there and could provide more, in the meantime ... why don't you try to prove me wrong, instead of assuming I am whining or that I am supporting Trump? Hmmm? Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

Sarge as someone who has a bit of knowledge in economic theory the explanation seems to me to be quite simple. Globalization of the economies have created this. It is true that the countries who are active in this have increased their GDPs, but how that greater wealth is distributed or more correctly not distributed easily explains it. |

Show me where Obama really fought for anything regarding wages. Didn't he something to do with Minimum Wage Fairness Act, which was opposed by the Republicans on the grounds that A, some states already paid above the rate proposed and B. It should be left to individual States to decide minimum wages in their States. |

Show me where Obama really fought for anything regarding wages. He did do something with the Minimum Wage. He raised it so that people getting it no longer qualified for health care subsidies, but still had to buy it under Obama Care. Oh wait. You aren't tax accountants and aren't supposed to be able to figure that out! Its wonderful for Wall Street, terrible for Main Street, but might just prevent a few states from filing bankruptcy for federal mandated subsidies or dropping out of the exchanges. |

Sarge, Glenn appears to be a binary. on or off. No possibility of anything but predetermined choices. You are either with us - hook line and sinker - or you are against us - may Allah strike you down. It is that kind of thinking that gives us Trump and Clinton as choices. Vote Gary Johnson and save America. |

Clinton Skates! I did think people were at least somewhat informed about the world here.I'm well aware of what the FBI Director said. My question was whether your use of 'skates' means you feel she should be indicted or she is innocent. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

Clinton Skates! I took Gary's statement to mean that Clinton was skating on thin ice, but managed to get away with it. i.e. She was possibly in error but it cannot be proved sufficiently to meet the legal standards required by the courts. |
