Read the whole thing:https://ricochet.com/never-trump/
I didn't leave the GOP, the GOP left me.  I couldn't care less what the establishment opinion is any longer.  That doesn't mean I'm voting for Trump but it does mean the GOP can fuck off.

Correct on all counts, and why Trump is popular. We all know 16 years of the Bush/Obama presidency has gotten us nowhere, and both sides continue to foist the same shit sandwich upon the populace.

I'm damned near ready to vote for Trump, as I feel we need to blow the place up, burn it down, and start over. Trump can certainly do no worse than the past 16 years of asshatery.

You and I are pretty conservative, but we saw and acknowledged the Bush failures.  He was a big government, big spender and helped to give us the DHS.  I don't want another President like GWB, and I certainly don't want another Obama.

Considering what we know of space, the distances between solar systems and galaxies, and the technology requirements to travel those distances, I think it likely that an alien species who had the ability to come visit would ponder our society with the same level of detail and interest as we ponder the workings of ant colonies. A neat and sometimes fascinating endeavor, but in the grand scheme of things, they're relatively insignificant ants.

Speaking of ants, this is a fascinating story.

The melting pot you credit as an asset to our country is exactly what Trump and his followers seem to want to greatly restrict.
So wrong as to not be in the same universe.  Immigration does not equal illegal immigration, not the same.

Show one single direct quote from Trump (or any of the folks here who people seem to think support him) that is blanket against legal immigration, I quadruple dog dare you. 

All sovereign nations control immigration to one extent or another - to include legally picking who can and cannot immigrate - without a border a nation is not sovereign.  This can include religious, ethnic or political grounds, and has, not only for America but for many other nations (like Mexico, or Cuba or Japan - basically all of them).  Many do so with fences and walls (e.g., Vatican City).

Many if not most of us are immigrants - my mom's family has been here since the 1700's but my Dad's family didn't come over until the early 1900's.  Came in accordance with the laws in place at the time - processed in through Ellis Island direct from Poland.

Trump is married to an immigrant (Slovenia), his previous wife was an immigrant (Czech) - look past the 2 second soundbites and do some actual research and think for yourself.

Yup...... The (otherside) cannot handle the truth....

Suppose they also started the

1- NAAWP / national assoc of the advancement of WHITE people
2- WHITE Entertainment Television
3- Miss WHITE America
4- American WHITE college fund
5- WHITE congressional  caucus
Etc.etc etc...

Talking about reverse discrimination.... :-X :-X :-X
While I understand where you're going with this sentiment, I will disagree with the term "reverse discrimination".  IMHO, there is no such thing.  There is only discrimination.  Nit picky, yes, but I'm the one doing the picking so it applies :D

I say you and other successful blacks prove that blacks in general don't need welfare any more than whites do.  But the truth is that there are too many people of both races that are on welfare that don't need to be.

The fact that you and other blacks are successful is a positive and hopeful sign.  But the shame is that there are going to be people that believe at least part of your success is due to affirmative action and quotas rather than skill and ability.

Liberalism is also responsible for keeping poor people poor and for pitting the classes against each other.  And liberals are responsible for trying to destroy the careers of many successful conservative blacks.  Liberals like to blame "greedy rich white people" for keeping poor people poor, but those (greedy rich white) people are only responsible for making themselves rich.  Except for the criminal element that exists in all classes, those rich people aren't the reason poor people are poor.
Frankly, I don't want to live in a society where my neighbor is in abject poverty, yet I don't think AA is still the best way. It was a good band aid and brought some attention to the issue but it has its downfall. I think it's outlived its usefulness.

I'd like to see all welfare are go away too but only way that's going to happen is in a real free market economy that allows fair competition. Government is too far into business and working against real progress. There are also evil people who egg this on. They need to go.

I long for a day when we won't have a black history month because we will just study history regardless of skin color, give credit where credit is due regardless of skin color, praise that which is praiseworthy regardless of skin color, and condemn that which is condemnable regardless of skin color. 

MLK Jr and I have the same dream.

Pilot Spin is not a microcosm of society as a whole, at least not in the sense that it represents a true sampling of the spectrum.  It does not.

The ideal response is for the Senate to wait and see what happens, then hold a hearing at the appropriate time, and vote down anyone that is not properly qualified, to avoid another train wreck dyke like kagan, or "wise latino," jerk like sotomayor. Jumping up and down just gives whiners, liars, and sleazebags more ammunition to attack republicans as that's they do anyway, so why make it easier?

The idea that Ginsberg is a moderate says it all...  What far-left kook published this nonsense FastEddieB?

Ginsburg has publicly stated she does not like the Constitution and thinks it should be changed, and re-interpreted.  She is as radical, far left as you can get.

Regardless, since the president gets to choose, and the president was duly elected by a majority of the electorate, time to suck it up and realize the system is likely working exactly as it was designed to.


You know, the Senate is provided authority to consent (and implicitly to withhold consent) to that choice, and the Senate was duly elected too.

I wonder how Thomas will function without Scalia to give him his opinion.

If Obama was clever, which is unlikely, he will nominate a highly respected moderate.  That will put the GOP in a real bind.  Do they approve the moderate or do they risk losing the WH and the Senate, in which case Scalia will be replaced by a flaming liberal which will really shift the SCOTUS.

Ah, yet another hater of a black conservative. It's too bad he left the plantation, right?  I mean, how could a black Catholic man make it through the
College of the Holy Cross and law school without having a handler, right?
