Nah, those white people are themselves probably the progeny of Irish slaves. Did you know that the Irish had it just as bad as the blacks? They’ll never tell you that with their “PhD’s” and their “historical facts,” but I know the truth. I read about it in a fringe white supremacist newsletter riddled with typos. It was the same one laying out how regrettable it was for yankee women to have imposed female voting rights on the unsuspecting nation.
In other news, I read your little ditty on the military. Your adolescent political confusions appear to be blossoming into full-blown intellectual impairments. They grow up so fast, don’t they? Before you know it you’ll be living off of spam and canned beans in a bunker, muttering ancap haikus into the silent subterranean dark.

Lol. I think that is putting it mildly. But I can’t complain, he mimics my gut response as well as putting it into far more entertaining turns of phrase than I could manage.

This was really one of my favorite things about Bush. He made a LOT of decisions I disagreed with, but I always admired his character as a person and his steadfast civility in the face of absolutely scathing criticism (much of it personal and unwarranted).
He took responsibility for his decisions, as the news excerpts show, and no doubt felt absolutely terrible for the suffering and repercussions it caused. He was totally wrong, but I respect the way he was a genuine person.

Nothing like hurling personal insults over the Internet to fight off the overwhelming white guilt, huh?
Agreed he showed class in the office despite the criticism he faced, even though many disagreed with him and criticized him openly for it I never really doubted that he did what he did because he believed it was best for the country. Lately Obama has seemed to take a huge slide in way he handles criticism and handling of partisanship, I don’t get the feeling he’s acting like the president of a country of Democrats, Republicans and Independents more so leading as the Democrat in charge of the White house. Trump however seems to already be taking it to a new low…
Unfortunately I fear Bush may be the last president to exhibit that kind of character and leadership in the oval office.

I disagree with Clinton on many domestic issues but trust that the legislature, judiciary, and my state government will be willing and able to shield me from some public policy prescriptions that I find odious.
I tend to vote on foreign policy and national security, and while I do have some concerns and disagreements with Clinton (the deficiency of the security culture at DoS, for one), I know that she appreciates the pillars of the American made post-war world order - The support of democratic norms and values, the maintenance of American military primacy and the importance of maintaining our extensive alliance system, the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, a nuanced approach to combating religious terrorism, and a commitment to mutually beneficial liberal economic regimes. The same can’t be said of Trump, whose presidency would be a geopolitical and ideological windfall for our adversaries.
I think you severly overerestimate the legislature judiciary and state governances current influence on domestic policy. The Bush/Cheney era saw the demise of the legislatures influence on domestic policy and the Obama administration has shown the demise on domestic. The executive branch has grown far too powerful in all aspects and as I’m sure you know from history a nations biggest threat to its influence is ultimately internal.

I mean, lol, you’re basically pointing out that water is wet…
Also, this just happened where as we’ve discussed Benghazi ad nauseum for years now.
Let the official T-record show I am just as astounded that a giant steaming pile of shit, who lied about the cause behind the death of 4 Americans, might be the next CIC.
Aragorn:
While certainly many will disagree (including most that post on this Forum)…many feel (myself included) the same way about President Obama.
Really (don’t mean that sarcastically, fyi)?
Yeah, seriously, but it dawns on me that you may not be up to speed on how criticism of Trump has gone on PWI over the last little bit. We’ve seen countless idiotic attempts to conflate criticism of Trump with supporting Hillary, even to the point of keeping up with post "counts"and their lack of “balance” (“Ten posts criticizing Trump, and none criticizing Hillary? You’re obviously a Hillary supporter and you won’t admit it.”).
It’s mostly been a tactic of Zeb’s, but like most of all of his tactics to mindlessly promote the GOP, it blew up in his face.
Criticizing Trump isn’t tantamount to liking or supporting Hillary. Pointing out Trump is a liar is not a claim that Hillary is honest. Pointing out that Trump would be a horrible CIC is not a claim that Hillary would be a good one.
We’re all tired of hearing that nonsense.
So, I know you haven’t been participating in that, but that was the point of my reply to you.

hahaha I’m sure it was supposed to be raise taxes on the rich, whoops! …unless she actually means it, then at least someone in the democratic party is being honest about how everything will need to be paid for…lol who are we kidding, honesty in this election?
The only thing that blew up in my face was you finally admitting that you’d prefer Hillary to Trump, yes that was quite an explosion. You were the king of attacking Trump and then saying that you despised Hillary just as much. But when it came to looki at your many, many posts attacking Trump and very few saying anything negative about Hillary you had to admit that you thought “Hillary would be better for the country in the short and long-term”. And don’t try to say that you meant that all along because there was nothing written by you that said anything like that until I dragged it out of you.
And it took me many posts to get you to admit that.
To be fair you also said that you would not vote for Hillary because you thought she was corrupt.
But still…
One more point about your idiotic statement above. If I was a mindlessly promoting the GOP candidate as you claim where are all of my posts promoting Trump? We debated about his business acumen yes, but where are my many posts, claiming that he’d be a great President? Please show them right now. You can’t because they are not there.
What I have been promoting and what you conveniently left out is that people should vote for either Trump or Clinton as one of them will certainly be the next President. As historically one of the two major party candidates always wins.
Neither Gary Johnson nor Jill Stein will be the next POTUS, Yet, to those who cannot stomach either Trump or Hillary I have said by all means vote your conscience. And I’ve said this many times. Also, both Johnson and Stein take more votes away from Hillary than Trump So I guess I’m not very good at promoting the GOP candidate am I, if that is what I was trying to do…which I am not…not this time around anyway. In fact, in a back and forth with you the other day I said three for four times vote your conscience.
So the next time you bring up my name get it right.
I am thinking Freudian slip.
