But they do exist. And their platform is an existential threat to the America I love.



I didn't quote the whole above post to save cyberspace. Roll Eyes

In the above post, Lane's definition of "conservative" is pretty clear. All his posts clarify that.

"America Hating ideology" sums up his view of democrats too.

Notice too the use of certain words:

Scott used the word "dissolve" regarding the GOP. Of its own accord and weight is my interpretation of what Scott meant, and that the void will be filled with something better.

Lane used the word "disposal" regarding the Dem party. The implication is by force and the void filled with those doing the forcing. Like wiping out the enemy then inhabiting their space.

That's two distinguishable ways of thinking, subconsciously displayed with two simple words. It's also a reflection of two worldviews.

Liberalism:

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.[1][2] Liberals espouse various and often mutually warring views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion,[3] Liberalism is frequently cited as the dominant ideology of modern history.[4][5]: 11 

Liberalism became a distinct movement in the Age of Enlightenment, gaining popularity among Western philosophers and economists. Liberalism sought to replace the norms of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, the divine right of kings and traditional conservatism with representative democracy, rule of law, and equality under the law. Liberals also ended mercantilist policies, royal monopolies, and other trade barriers, instead promoting free trade and marketization.[6] Philosopher John Locke is often credited with founding liberalism as a distinct tradition based on the social contract , arguing that each man has a natural right to life, liberty and property, and governments must not violate these rights.[7] While the British liberal tradition has emphasized expanding democracy, French liberalism has emphasized rejecting authoritarianism and is linked to nation-building.[8]




Liberalism is fine as defined above.

The Democrat party today is not so Liberal as it is Leftist.
The two Democrat candidates are Socialist-Marxist-Communist.
Neither of them espouse much of the above definition of Liberalism.

I've seen and heard that argument many times. It's stated and believed as factual.

I've never been able to counter-argue it effectively. By "effectively" I mean changing someone's opinion. Also, I really don't understand where someone is coming from when they say and believe that.

I'm pretty sure that I understand the definitions of Socialist-Marxist-Communist but I can't reconcile all that with liberalism, yesteryear or today.

It could be that I don't listen to or read seriously the far-right propaganda.

Maybe someone else can fill in the blank spaces with all that.

But meanwhile:

Go look at all the GOPers who voted against sending aide to Ukraine.

Dr. Easter has lost going back to Obama Administration placating Russia.

Dr. Easter supports Trump’s work to weaken NATO.

Go read about when the Department of Defense tried to explain to him the post WWII order.

Why? that wasn't the inferred claim. losing ground, and have to fabricate a scenario where you might be right?

when i DO go look at the BILLS proposed, and see all the garbage associated with them, yeah, it's "fun"

and yet 198 dems voted against an explicit law stating that only american citizens can vote in federal elections ...

Josh,
you'll likely lose an article I conversation -- i suggest you take a pass

It was already against the law.

Used to be that WE expected those in congress, who we are paying a good salary, would work on stuff that's real instead of perpetuating and supporting the BIG LIE and the BIG fat Liar, and setting up the insurrection ploy again.

At least this is a little more creative than simply killing the bipartisan border bill.

It's been aged, like sour grapes. Trump aged it by continuing to harp on stolen election with zero proof, and actually zero evidence in support.

This 198 opposed Bill thing is opposition to institutionalism of the BIG LIE.

Record clearly shows 198 dems voting AGAINST a law to protect that. Weird how you support the same concept. Might ask yourself if you are just a schill or nah

The reason it was brought up in the first place was illegitimate insofar as real legislative responsibility.

It was another GOPer farce, for political optics, and to please the cult leader and to bolster the BIG LIE, and to add some supposed credibility to what they will do if the election isn't favorable. What's the downside? The GOPer guppies will believe whatever they are fed.

It's really kinda clever. But the dems saw through it.

The dems were put in a situation where they had a choice, feed into Trump's lies or stand against it. Either way there is a downside for them. I'm proud they chose the best of two options. It shows character.

Except the Courts, DJ lawyers, Trump’s own lawyers told Trump and all of us that the election result was not due to fraud. Specifically, the Fed courts told him he had alleged no facts of fraud.

Why to lean into the Big Lie.

The Democratic supporters can't spell at a minimum. Not surprising since their candidate can't verbally articulate a coherent thought.

Again, the election was not affected by fraud. The bill is irrelevant. Would I had voted for it? I more than likely would have.

Did fraud have any effect in the election result? The answer is no. Unless, you believe Trump over the above.

The tangent is complaining about something that did not matter.

You simply cannot refute the Courts, Department of Justice lawyers, the AG, Trump’s lawyers all found no fraud affecting the election result.

Why would anyone lean into the Big Lie of a stolen election is beyond me. However, Jeff is here doing so.

Not fraud but manipulation. Manipulation that fell within the legal realms of 2020 election law.

But courts, by design, are difficult places to contest election malfeasance anyway — except for retrospection.

Suits require discovery. Discovery takes time — time measured in months. Certification of election by states comes quickly and without substantial evidence…certification must occur.

Not fraud but manipulation. Manipulation that fell within the legal realms of 2020 election law. You call it manipulation; the courts found the conduct to be legal. Trump's lawyers lost this issue, bigly. Legal manipulation — exactly what I said. Legal is the key word here...the big lie is just that, a lie. The election was not stolen from Trump, he tried to steal it. Not stolen in the legal definition of stolen for sure. But we Republicans were definitely out manipulated — for sure. Not stolen....that is the key. Shame you feel manipulated, that is what you get for worshiping a charlatan though.

But courts, by design, are difficult places to contest election malfeasance anyway — except for retrospection. In no way is that justification for Trump's attempt at stealing the 2020 election, nor does it lend any credibility to Trump's big lie. Should not manipulation be highlighted? I think storming the Capital and continuing to claim the election was stolen from him four years later goes far, far beyong highlighting what you feel is manipulation. I didn’t see Trump at the capital. Did you? He speaks in common terms. It is similar to when a bad call is made in a game and people say “he was robbed.” He uses “stolen” in the general sense and the people he is speaking to get it. No it is not; he has been making the same false claims for four years. In common terms, the man is a compulsive liar.

Suits require discovery. Discovery takes time — time measured in months. Certification of election by states comes quickly and without substantial evidence…certification must occur. The courts remain the proper place to contest an election, no matter what flaws you may feel the system has. I never said improper did I? I said very difficult by design. Everything needed for a good suit cannot be sustained in the timeline of certification — dispute that. Wink exactly as it should be, Trump's claims did not hold up to scrutiny, he lost because his case was weak and because his claims of impropriety were not able to be proven.

Steve,
Suffice it to say I disagree with your little fine points you always like to argue.

But, you live with your decision and I will live with mine.

I do not find the attempt to steal a presidential election a "fine point". Your excuses do not remove the stench of impropriety from Trump's actions.

It does make you look quite poor though.

There is no justification for trying to steal an election.

I won't have much trouble living with myself for not supporting a lying, cheating, philandering, fraud that tried to steal an election.

The thing is that people like Lane will rig the election up front and believing the lies "stolen" provides justification moral cover.

One might argue that they are all about election integrity, and of course they will be honest and do the right thing. That's their story.

OTOH, we know for sure, per evidence, that they are true believers in lies. Their whole MO regarding election results is to rig it in their favor, justified of course, and to believe a loss just has to be the result of something gone wrong with the count somehow. An objective observer might conclude we are witnessing some sort of mass psychosis.

Trump threw the 2020 election because he misread the room and couldn't keep quiet. The whole election was a bit of an anomaly, what with the panic and misinformation over covid and so on.
As far as the bill and its failure to pass goes, was this bill intended to supplant the existing law, or was it in addition to it? What else was attached to the bill?
This is all just more partisan bullshit. Of course, this is what election years are all about. Lying, misdirecting, exaggerating, misconstruing, doing everything to avoid facts and truth in the effort to elect the Party (either party). As usual, we have two parties, neither of which really give a shit about the country or the people, vying for power for themselves. We, the people, play right into it.
We don't require anything of our candidates other than just being their so we can pretend they represent our interests. A Donald Trump or Kamala Harris are good enough for us. Crap! Regards, Bill.

You have a bad attitude, Bill. Wink
And it's clouding your perspective.

Trump didn't throw the 2020 election. The election threw him - for being himself.

It's going to be that way again, until he STFU.

Lane

That is the REAL problem. You only love a very small part of America and Americans. Yours is a very selective and limited view. This goes for your claims to Christian faith etc.

You need to open your eyes, heart and soul to ALL Americans. Learn to love your neighbour. Learn to love your enemies. Learn to love the sick, the poor and the immigrant.

You need to face fact and reality. The "America" that you love is a myth. It never existed on its own. It was always part of a much bigger and wider society that was interdependent.
