You speak too much rjhowie. 721 words in just one post.

Americans are entitled to be the biggest morrones in the planet. Better to be them than you...  :lol:
But you insist in the contrary.

I really don't give a fuck about this American Saga Elections.Who cares in the world about who wins the American elections? only americans.
The winner doesn't make any difference.
A matter of attitude.

Ah but my favourite Romanist I have NOT been the only one to have stuck in large posts. And I do have to say that I know it will make no damn difference to the average and decent American whether that big mouth corporate, Clinton or the carnival showman wins. The wide poverty, violent police forces too much spent on military and destroying countries they don't like will all continue. All the millions of ex-colonists who are in a poor way will still be suffering in the land of the free and home of the brave (if you have money). Wars against people that country cannot control will continue as will the money spent on more secret agencies than any country in the world.

So I can go along with your feeling on the big-headed US of A but I will refrain from any so-so language as I don't want suspended from my Lodge membership!  :devil:

ps Even thought of a Lisbon trip one to get a ride on the hill trams me being a rail and tram fan!

Perhaps you can now understand why Ted Cruz is the candidate I'd like to see win…
Nah! Probably not.

Cruz, the Canadian candidate, said recently, "I'm a Christian first, I'm an American second, I'm a conservative third, and I'm a Republican fourth."

What would Jesus say?

And now a report that Rubio had a mistress. Trump might have started this one.

And The Donald doesn't like him. I'm going to really enjoy the next few weeks. Super Tuesday, where are you?

Well jimbro it does have a comedy aspect and although those of outside may shake our heads and be bemused or wonder why such a system as I equally foretell little for the millions will see any great change. So on a mutual selfish note maybe we should all just be tickled by the show and enjoy the show.  :happy:

Right now I'm busy digesting a pastrami, swiss, Roquefort dressing and sauerkraut on rye, so looking for politician's stupid comments could make me ill. Give me a little time.

Trump is just the natural evolution of the Republican Party. With all their pandering their far-right fringe, someone like him was inevitable. Funny thing is some Democrats are cheering for him to win the nomination because that will ensure a Democratic president and he'll drag down the GOP candidates for the other offices.

And the clown who describes me in that fashion is the mindset that yakked about a long sub,missionby me. Maybe in fairness he might say the same about jimbro's long bit above. Nah he is a fellow ex-colonist so that is okay!

Maybe Oakdale you should ask jimbro what he thinks really of Clinton and instead of assumptions on Sanders too. After all he is the only candidate really concerned about the ordinary folk who deserve through their loyalty a better deal. Well maybe I should re-consider that as one news report commented that so many working class people support Trump! That a country can have someone like Trump is an entertainment from those outside in normality of the land of the free and home of the brave (yawn) however if we look at the show more wisely to show a vast failing. How a civilised country can have someone like him pursuing leadership of the country with his crass and stupidness does the nation no favours at all and only shows the deep flaws in what passses for a political system. I will from time to time watch the carnival that passes for an election and smile that I am glad not over there with so many nutjobs supporting a nut.  Ah, Colonel. Clever of you to get away wioth the embarrassment of the "system."

A numbe rof years ago during my time in the Education Dept of the city I was friendly with a young nun (about 30) who was a teacher in an RC State schol (ridiculous we pay for such). She was a teacher and was planning to move somewhere else to teach. She did look smart in a neat modern gear so on a regular visit to that school (as we chatted from time to time) took her out for a lunch at a nearby posh restaurant. It was very informative and she was not that happy with much including no woman priests and the negatives she relayed to me. At the end she smiled and she said "I have never had a date with anOrangeman before." I bemused said I was the same regarding a nun.

After I had walked her back to the schol one of the 3 janiotors and I had a pssing conversation as the 3 of them were bemused by the luch. As I started to leave I said that I hope the Saturday would see no rain. One of them who had self delusions about his competition to challenge as me what was on that Saturday. Smiling I answered that the largest of the 4 Scottish provincial Battle of the Boyne Orange Pares was on and in Glasgow meaning 182 city lodges and 90 bands. Trying to sardonic he looked at his 2 associates and said "Hope you get soaked." His friends knew he wouldn't get away with it or win. Starting to leave I looked over and replied "Well John we got wet crossing the River Boyne but we still knocked you out!" The others went into a laugh mode and suggested he would never win.

Never winning? Maybe that is the problem over the water in that too many Americans are feeling the system is flawed hence the support fir trump and indeed in a different direction, Sanders. And before the house hermit come on an yaks baloney I am not a Socialist but the ideas Sanders comes away with would help tens of millions of Americans which in itself shows the flaws in the place. We will watch the comedy show but sadly for you lot it is mean to be something positive!

You're not a socialist, but you insist on keeping your National Health and your North Sea government-owned oil and your England-provided subsidies…
You're quite wrong about your contention, that the "ideas" of Sanders would help anybody — beyond Sanders himself and his cronies. And that's part of why I call you a socialist: As your PM Thatcher said a long time ago, the problem with socialism is that, eventually, you run out of other people's money!
Sanders has only one plan: Spend other people's money.
It's not as bad as Hitler's plan to purge Europe of Jews, by gas ovens. But it isn't very much different. He wants to punish someone — for what life is. His life has been okay; he's an activist! Having never really had to work for a living, he thinks it's either luck (or pull? Yeah, he knows about that1) or malice that allows some people to succeed and others to fail.
He's basically an animist, and Voodoo should be his religion!

Shows your infinite ignorance but then you don't live in a proper demcoracy of principled system. Every poltcial party here from left, centre, right supports the Welfare State and health service. That includes Conservative Party people. But there again conservative here is more routine than the militiamen attitude of what is conservatism in the ex-colony land.  They can differ on how it is run hut everyone is for it. If you are so great with your rightist corruption how come there are 40 million on food stamps and a million a year losing homes?? Try answering the very obvious contradictions instead of trying to avoid the truth.

What passes for a Presidential Election over there is ponderous often bordering on the immature and childish and a big long drag out. Trump is benefiting from actually a wide range of Republicans if we are honest not just the knuckle-draggers. That shows that a great many of your fellow countrymen  are very, very dis-satisfied with the political system and politicians and why he gets the support he does. On the Democratic side the young are flocking to Sanders too astheir way of being dis-satisfied so try facing up to these issues as there is a great feeling of not being happy with things.

Clinton will win and as I have well indicated she will make no damn difference to the great millions suffering. She IS part of the financial establishment and when I watched a replay of her tv interview a while back on the "success" of Libya and death of Gadaffi it was disgusting. "We came we saw we wio and killed." Not very professional at all.

So in both their quite different ways, Trump and Sanders show their is a deep problem in the country and the way it is run. To say that someone is automatically as socialist due to matters raised is a cover-up re too many failings for millions of decent Americans. And whoever does win the aftermath will be this. The millions of suffering in the States will continue - countries who not bow the knee will be destabilised or invaded the economy wil still drag as the corporates still pull the strings. :yuck:

Than why do you bother talking so much about it? (I know, I know: It keeps you from having to see the failures and inequities at home.) We -most of us, I hope- don't want to follow in your footsteps. It's true that your left, right and center are all committed to your welfare state… You practice what Bismark preached. But if we go too far down the same road you will have no one to save you, the next time you piss somebody off…
So, would you prefer learning Chinese or Russian? :) Or even Persian? (It won't much matter. You've yet to gain proficiency with English!)

So it appears the Clown Triumvirate will continue on; the egotistical maniac did well last night, winning Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia. The lipless Canadian Domionist won Texas, Oklahoma, and Alaska. The Establishment's preferred choice, and ardent theocrat, Marco Rubio, won Minnesota. All have vowed to carry on, though all 3 have called for the others in this Clown Triumvirate to drop out. 

Meanwhile, the murdering criminal, Hillary Clinton, won all the states Trump did, but she also added Massachusetts. Comrade Bernie won Vermont, Colorado, Minnesota, and Oklahoma ( :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: at that last one, as OK is one of the most conservative states in the nation).

Well, Mexico is going to have to deal with Trump's Secretary of State, Sarah Palin.

Thanks, Republicans. Good fucking job, you utter twats. You played to your base's fears so long this was all but inevitable. You told your base that Obama wasn't enforcing immigration law, despite increased deportations under the Obama administration and decreases in both legal and illegal immigration just to try to win elections. Surely you idiots could see how how that would stoke racism and xenophobia, just waiting for someone like Trump to exploit. Of course you didn't, having been mindless reactionary monkeys for this long. Now your front-runner has the support of the Klan and neo-nazi groups. What does that tell you? Knowing you folks, probably nothing at all. Being fucktards, you confuse civility with political correctness and your walnut-sized brains conflate not being politically correct with "the truth" even though your "truth" is just as likely to be racist, sexist, homophobic Neanderthal ignorance. (which doesn't mean everything that's politically correct is truthful and to censor un-PC opinions, Oakdale :rolleyes: ) What the hell is wrong with you GOP folks? You're afraid of immigrants, fear the queer - especially they'll take away your pathetic excuse for "religious liberty". That a Christian baker might have bake a cake for a same-sex wedding and as if any gay wants his wedding to be catered with pizza in the first place, really? :rolleyes:  (never mind that you pissed all over the constitution trying to take away their equal protection under the law and then used it to wipe your flat asses) ; you're afraid of Muslims like the little bitches you are, conflating groups like ISIS with actual Islam and ignoring Christian terror groups such as the Klan. You insist on calling it Islamic Terror, without understand your hillbilly base, whose wife is also his cousin, lacks the brainpower to understand Muslims are the most common victims "Islamic" terror and the long history of Christian Terror (funny how you don't insist on calling a Christian bomber of Planned Parenthood a Christian terrorist. See how you're hypocrites even on the PC issue. Wow, do you guys ever suck. )

End of incoherent, ungrammatical rant for now. The take-away is you brought Trump upon yourselves, upon all of us. Time to check the immigration requirements for Canada in case Trump wins, I guess :( Yes, Oakdale, I can write this more professionally, politely and more coherent, but the fact is I'm choosing not to at this time. Maybe that will came later.

As a passing unimportant point to the thread I am sick to death of the media here going on and on about the damn long drawn out farce even taking up so much of routine political progs.  Meanwhil.....

Fascist, eh?? How odd and that would mean there are millions of Fascists across America then. Guess the guard at Mussolini's impressive tomb will be celebrating. A bit over the to  put it mildly and only shows that there is a deep fault in the basic system they have in America. Due to the number of candidates popping up on the republican side has in practice only given that no-political entertainer a big push. On the other side Clinton is another smart alec. She may have great knowledge of the system how the White House operates and such but a personality? Nah. All the stuff she waffles on just LIKE Trump about how great the places is and all that nationalistic emotion with rows of the brained whooping and hollering. Both sides are as bad with all that comedy stuff and makes those involved look very immature and childish. Clinton is following in the footsteps of Obama and he was hardly very inspiring. Saying something then wavering unsure. Neither Trump or Clinton will make much of a difference with all the cries of we are great ir as she waffled "we have always been great." Oh yeah? Neither Clinton nor Trump will do much for the middle class who provide the tax money stagnate on salaries and much else. As for those lower in the working class? Forget it.

Can we agree, that common terms of derogation don't necessarily have what meaning a dictionary would give… I don't think you yourself consider women (or girls) necessarily cowardly… And I doubt you're unaware of the role of the Democrats in forging this circumstance.
(I'd suggest -if you want to maintain your PC creds- use "twits" instead of twats. And when you talk about "Republicans" you should know that you're also talking about Democrats… The political class is what it is; but some of us don't like it, and would like to change it. Not you, of course! :)
Quote from: midnight raccoon on
You're afraid of immigrants […]
I've mentioned it before, but I'll say it again: When "immigrants" don't assimilate the situation is correctly termed "invasion"… :)
The "gay" thing, I don't understand: Is it illegal to be gay? To "practice" gayness? Aren't there laws that prevent discrimination…?
Oh, but gays want to lead Boy Scout Troupes and "recruit" gay scouts… Are you really okay with this, Sang?

Your understanding of Islam is — what I'd expect, from a Sociology major.
Perhaps you'll reason better, after your head has been severed. :( I hope that doesn't happen. (Don't emigrate to any Islamic country… They're really nuts!) These people are really nuts, I think I've said. And you can read their books, and note their actions…

conflating groups like ISIS with actual Islam
What is actual Islam? Might it have some basis in the Koran and the Hadith? Or do you prefer the Muslim Brotherhood version, one for Westerners and one for Arabic speakers…
Actual Islam has a long history. You, more than I, should fear them.

Re: Christian "jihad"… But of course five or six victims of nut-cases are the equivalent of hundreds of thousands… Because you consider them -those five or six- to matter more?
They were "only" killing unborn babies…
I don't support or encourage assassination of abortionists. Not do I excuse it.
Your "morality" is obtuse. Would you explain why -for example- only black lives matter? Why gays can make others do for them what they'd not do for others? :) You've bought into the liberal/social justice meme: Pick a group, persecute them; surely, you'll make things better!

Thanks, Republicans. Good fucking job, you utter twats. You played to your base's fears so long this was all but inevitable. You told your base that Obama wasn't enforcing immigration law, despite increased deportations under the Obama administration and decreases in both legal and illegal immigration just to try to win elections. Surely you idiots could see how how that would stoke racism and xenophobia, just waiting for someone like Trump to exploit. Of course you didn't, having been mindless reactionary monkeys for this long. Now your front-runner has the support of the Klan and neo-nazi groups. What does that tell you? Knowing you folks, probably nothing at all. Being fucktards, you confuse civility with political correctness and your walnut-sized brains conflate not being politically correct with "the truth" even though your "truth" is just as likely to be racist, sexist, homophobic Neanderthal ignorance. (which doesn't mean everything that's politically correct is truthful and to censor un-PC opinions, Oakdale :rolleyes: ) What the hell is wrong with you GOP folks? You're afraid of immigrants, fear the queer - especially they'll take away your pathetic excuse for "religious liberty". That a Christian baker might have bake a cake for a same-sex wedding and as if any gay wants his wedding to be catered with pizza in the first place, really? :rolleyes:  (never mind that you pissed all over the constitution trying to take away their equal protection under the law and then used it to wipe your flat asses) ; you're afraid of Muslims like the little bitches you are, conflating groups like ISIS with actual Islam and ignoring Christian terror groups such as the Klan. You insist on calling it Islamic Terror, without understand your hillbilly base, whose wife is also his cousin, lacks the brainpower to understand Muslims are the most common victims "Islamic" terror and the long history of Christian Terror (funny how you don't insist on calling a Christian bomber of Planned Parenthood a Christian terrorist. See how you're hypocrites even on the PC issue. Wow, do you guys ever suck. )

End of incoherent, ungrammatical rant for now. The take-away is you brought Trump upon yourselves, upon all of us. Time to check the immigration requirements for Canada in case Trump wins, I guess :( Yes, Oakdale, I can write this more professionally, politely and more coherent, but the fact is I'm choosing not to at this time. Maybe that will came later.

Reddit's r/IWantOut is quite useful for that kind of information.

Your "morality" is obtuse. Would you explain why -for example- only black lives matter?

The reason you think my morality is obtuse is because you make up most of it. For example, I never made the claim in your question nor supported BLM. We'd communicate much better if you'd stop trying to invent my positions for me. How many times do I have to tell you this?

Oh yeah, and I have no interest in being PC. I was merely pointing out so many of you folks don't know the difference between not following the dictates of PC and just being a dick. Hell, I've people offended in a PC way because because stories I read to my writer's group. But what is PC. It seems that many who claim to deplore PC are just offended as liberals (if not more so) when they're own beliefs are challenged. The Republican base in the past several election cyles demanded ideological purity of the candidates. Is this not a form a PC and censorship of the Right? Both sides political spectrum engage in it. That's why I claim neither side and get to offend both in very conceivable way :yes:
