Good Morning everyone.

I first heard "America, Love it or Leave it" about 50 years ago, during the VietNam war. It was the slogan used by pro-war people (mostly Democrats, as it was a Democratic war) toward anti-war people(mostly hippies) - all Americans. It was on bumper stickers.

At one time it was Lincoln's solution to send the freed slaves back where they came from - Africa. Didn't Liberia arise from such a plan?

I think 9000 people who traveled long miles and paid good money to hear Trump speak can be called his base, just as a similar crowd at a Sanders rally could be called his base. I don't think those 9000 people were Nazis, and I don't think they were racists, as a group. May have been a couple of nazis and a couple of dozen racists, unless we are using the left's definitions, in which case they all should be shipped off to re-education camps.

It has become more and more obvious that racism is the axle that turns Democrat's/the left's wheels. That's why their militant arm, Antifa, is based on anti-racism. It's why every action (border control) is cast in terms of the skin color of people (Nazis running concentration camps to keep out brown people). It was the basis for the impeachment attempt yesterday. It was the basis to oppose the tax cuts.

Trump doesn't help when he calls certain countries shithole countries. The left jumps on that as racist, but the truth is, no leftist is scheduling a vacation in any of those countries. Much easier to sit in their gated communities and point fingers.

My list of concerns for this country start with Economics - jobs for people, earning money and taking it home. Next is foreign policy - are we making deals with other countries that are beneficial to America? And so the list goes on down, and somewhere on it is fighting racism. Subcategories of that would be about how, where, and when to fight it. I would not have sent people to oppose the marchers in Charlottesville or anywhere else. Let them march without an audience. Then it becomes a non-happening. But the left feels compelled to always fight, in every way, because on their list of important things for America, fighting racism has the top ten spots. Well ahead of economics and foreign policy.

It is hard to reason with a fanatic, and so I will no longer try.

93, and Lad, you are definitely part of the Thought Police, although I think Thought Militia would be a better description. Like Hitler's Brown shirts, you stand ready and willing to attack where you see a need.

One of them asked Tanq where he thought he got the RIGHT to use words like short bus. I think if people who think like that can, they will modify the Constitution to outlaw certain words that, in their minds, have no lawful use. Then we will have Thought Police, for real.

Scary to me that half the nation thinks like that. And THAT half thinks half the other half are racist deplorables, so whatever happens to them is only what they deserve, racist bastards.

I have always thought a straight ticket vote was anathema to thinking, but I think I shall vote all Republican from now on. The Democrats scare me. They remind me of the 1930's Nazi's, just with a different target.

Now, note the difference. I did not call you Nazis, just Nazi-like in your devotion to a cause. I guess I could have gone back hundreds of years, and compared yall to the Spanish Inquisition or some other faction that wanted to cleanse the populace of wrong attitudes. Hitler did not invent intolerance. Savonarola did not invent the desire to cleanse the population of bad influences.

In any case, I am sure yall will continue your good fight against wrong thinking and wrong speaking. If yall get President Harris elected, you can slap each other on the back on displaying your lack of prejudice by electing a black female, and go imagining half of America is gnashing their teeth because they cannot stand her because of her race/sex. I am sure you will attribute 100% of the opposition to her programs to racist/sexist attitudes in Republicans. After, that is the hub of your universe, and correcting racism/sexism if much more important than making America prosperous.
