Spin Zone / Re: "dregs of society"

I don't agree that historically important statues should be torn down either, but chanting "Jews shall not replace us" and other racist slogans vs. protesting racism and anti-semitism on the same moral plane? Seriously? We must live in parallel universes, you and I.

My impression was that the protests got violent when a large group of neo-nazis surrounded a smaller group of student counterprotestors who were standing near one of the statues. I have no idea who threw the first punch, but to me, a larger group surrounding a smaller group is clearly a threatening move. And James Fields, who allegedly drove the car that killed Heather Heyer, was I believe part of the Unite the Right demonstration.

I think we might move in parallel universes if we get our news from different sides. There is no objective news outlet anymore.

My understanding is that the Unite the Right group consisted of several sub groups, only one or a few were neo-Nazi or white supremacist. Those would be the ones shouting "Jews shall not replace us" and are the sick extremists to which I refer. On the other side, some or all are hateful and intolerant  of anyone that disagrees with them and "privileged white males" in particular. Their hatred is just as vicious and evil and violence against their targets is even publicly encouraged by their elected leaders (Maxine Waters).

So I'll modify my statement to say that while not all persons present may have been on the same repugnant moral ground, plenty on both sides were.

Which brings us back to your made up four pillars of socialism. If #1 is correct, then I guess I'll have to deal with being one quarter socialist. Oh well.

All poodles are dogs, but not all dogs are poodles.
Even if all socialists and communists are atheists, that doesn't mean that all atheists are socialists or communists.

Negative. None of us were evicted from POA. The unmoderated SZ was shut down, and what was left of the site was moderated.
Spin it any way you want it.  Pilot Spin was created because POA ran off the Spin Zone. 

Funny that POA itself was created because of overzealous moderation but they too succumbed to the disease of power.

The Media today is more in the business of making a narrative FIT their Progressive agenda.  They are Leftist propagandists, with a few exceptions.  The large bulk of the media are there to mold opinions to what THEY believe, not disseminate facts, or news.  Even Cronkite admitted that, but he was very good at convincingly, misleading people.

Another scenario that could play out:  The EU ambassador will come with a new trade proposal that will allow Trump to waive the tariffs and avert a trade war, in which case, the US will be better off.  Remember, Europeans are much more practiced at surrendering than we are (except for recent history).  But Trump is changing that.
It's not a done deal yet, and I don't want to say I told you so, but I did.

Obliviously, you didn't get his point, so maybe it helps to break it down to just the relevant text, to improve the potential for reading comprehension.  My takeaway is that he regularly attends air shows and is very aware of what they're about.  Also that you, like most people, are very ill equipped to definitively state what is in other people's minds.

You must know that Airventure is waaaaaay more than an air show.

He doesn't.

Sun 'N Fun is in my back yard, and I'm a habitual attendee.

So what's your point? 

Refuting yours.

Spin Zone / Trump is a narcissist
« on: July 17, 2018, 06:23:55 PM »
But so was Obama. 

I just watched a documentary on Trump. I suspected he might be anyway, but now I'm more convinced than ever.  But at this point in history, I think it takes a narcissist to have the supreme level of confidence to stand up to the sustained attacks from the media, the deep state and the hysterical left. He simply refuses to be bested by them. Maybe you have to have a narcissistic belief in yourself to withstand all that.

Obama's narcissism was a fake image (messiah-like) promising a utopia that he never could bring.

Trump's narcissism is fueling a drive to succeed as President against all these enemies - I truly think the more they attack him, the more resolved he is to come out on top.  In his prior life he tended to construct monuments to himself.  Now, he is constructing the biggest monument of all - his legacy as President, and he is trying to make it as great a legacy as possible, and fortunately for us, how he is doing it happens to align with what is good for America.

From his business experience, or his advisers, or where ever, he came up with his campaign promises, and now he is fulfilling them, almost like he made plans for a building, and now he is constructing them.  Fortunately, much of what he's doing is very, very good for America, whether he truly cares, or whether he's just doing it for his own glory, doesn't matter.

Maybe it was only chance that he ran on the Republican ticket, and listens to conservative advisers. Maybe if things had been different, he would have run as a Democrat or a liberal. Maybe he cares less about which side he is on, than about what will uplift him the most. Maybe he simply has enough brains to know that conservative economic policies are what will build America, and hence his own legacy.

In any case, I'm enjoying my tax cut.

NATO is like the femi-nazis and free birth control. They think they are entitled to our support, our military protection and our money, while doing squat to help themselves.

As is the United Nations.  The world's welfare queens.  Let's give them all Obama phones, and be done with it.

Poor baby. Maybe they can make you a Grand Exalted Wizard Moderator.  Libs always like to tell others what to do.
Asechrest is joking, for heaven’s sake! He likes to pretend he is the type of liberal we are always complaining about.

What a letdown – you libs were totally promised that you and your elite cohort would rule forever, unchallenged, over the filthy hordes infesting America’s non-coastal regions, and then all of a sudden those nasty Normals got militant and elected Donald Trump. It’s not fair, damnit! And it just gets worse and worse as things in America, under Trump, get better and better.
