Is it really four years since this lady ran for President? I miss those days. What's funny is that compared to today's candidates she doesn't seem that bad...

Exactly - it might be free at the point of use, but it's not like they just pop out of thin air.

The objection always seems to be that someone else might be getting the benefit, in the case of someone who works all their life paying taxes, but I don't have a problem with that. I have had to sign on back home, and I was grateful that it was there for me. If I lost my job out here, there's no guarantee I'd even get unemployment because employers can block claims.

Nice interview with Bernie on The Young Turks. Obviously he's a hometown hero to them. The most interesting part starts at about 17 minutes.

So it turns out ISIS is already cutting some propaganda/recruitment videos using Trump quotes in response to the latest Brussels attacks.

ISIS Thanks Donald Trump For Making Their Point For Them

Gives you fair warning how Trump would behave when it comes to foreign policy. The man is a master of creating divisiveness. Those Muslims who come here and work hard and contribute so much in the medical field and serve in the US Armed Forces, respect the laws of the land and live peaceful lives now have good reason to believe that Trump is a prize asshole.

When it comes to his comments on Brussels he sure speaks tough for someone who managed to dodge the Vietnam draft board. I guess his role model is that red blooded Republican All American Boy John Wayne who never served a day in the armed forces either... at least off the screen :lol:

Why is it that Republicans can never recognize a Presidential candidate who acts like one ie John Kacich.

Giuliani also said that Brussels was Obama's "Pearl Harbor". Which is interesting as I thought he would have gone with 9/11.

Peaceful Muslims? That's an oxymoron.

Here's your homework assignment. Where in the World where Muslims live next to non-muslims are they not in violent conflict?

As for Trump he's being swiftboated much like John Kerry in 2004. Anyone who gets in the way of Bush Inc. political ambitions gets smeared. That's why a lot of Americans are still voting for Trump...we've seen this movie before.

Don't see any violent conflict going on where I live. Maybe the kids local baseball games get a bit rowdy at times. Tell yer what. Next time I see my Iranian dentist I'll try to find out what he gets up to out of working hours. He could be leading a double life. ;)
