A point that I have heard for many years is that it is wrong to vote a straight ticket. It seems that is always directed at Republicans, whereas Democrats are incouraged to pull that lever.

I voted for a Democrat once that I can remember, in a local election in North Carolina. I thought he was a good man. I have not found a Democrat that I thought I could trust since then. Where I live there are a few seats that are uncontested and I never vote in those races. Sometimes I don't vote for the Republican.

I am a registered Republican, but I am not lock step with the Republicans. In the last primary I Voted for a man that I thought was a Constitutional Republican and a decent man, but the rest of the US didn't agree with me. In the general election I actually split my ticket for the first time in years. I voted straight Republican except for the Presidential race in which I voted for...


































































Donald J. Trump.

You must be guilty of a dozen 'isms'! Voting a straight ticket is homophobic!

Thanks for thinking about me. That really truly warms my heart.

Trump is thinking about you, watching you, warming your heart.

I hear he has money. You think he'll leave me some in his will?

 

[ATM]

No, he'll take it with him.

 

[Dddrees]

No, he'll take it with him.

Yeah, your probably right he's kind of self absorbed that way.

 

[jamil]

Are you kidding? He has too much ***** debt to take it with him.

 

[Dddrees]

Are you kidding? He has too much ***** debt to take it with him.

Nah, sounds like he was able to write all that off from his taxes.

 

[jamil]

You apparently haven't deciphered the word behind the asterisks. Hint. It's a naughty word. You can't write that kind of debt off your taxes.

This came across my Facebook feed and I thought it worth sharing. It is long, and just because I thought it worth sharing don't assume I agree with everything in it. I just thought it interesting and well expressed. (Remember when you could discuss something on INGO just because it was interesting... no, neither do I.) I painted out the name, but this is not from anybody you would have heard of. It's just a random person that responded to something that somebody else I know commented on.

Well Sebastian Gorka a senior White House Advisor at least believes that people should stop critizing White Supremacists so much. This was taken from an appearance on Breitbart News Daily which just happens to be his former employer.

I truly hate it when you put others, especially me, in the unpleasant position of seemingly defending WS but that's not exactly what he said. But I've learned over the years that the radical left is physically unable to accurately quote anyone.

White Nationalists and White Supremacists have an ideology, much like Antifa and BLM, based upon hatred. I reject them all for that reason.

Well you know I've now listened to this thing about ten time and I have to admit the the title and the words don't match up wither the actual comments. The mention of Breitbart and some of the words certainly help to paint a different picture and I appolozize.
