NipkowDisc Posted June 19, 2017 NipkowDisc--Reread the Baldwin quote; it's NOT a compliment! exactly. the left loves high-falootin' sounding philosophies to cavalierly and with disdain dismiss the concerns of the ordinary man and woman Result: Donny Trump "that will stop!" -jack hawkins, ben-hur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LawrenceA Posted June 19, 2017 exactly. the left loves high-falootin' sounding philosophies to cavalierly and with disdain dismiss the concerns of the ordinary man and woman Result: Donny Trump Yeah, but you aren't "ordinary". Ordinary within a society would correspond to the majority, and the majority of Americans aren't Trump supporters. You'll always be extra-ordinary to us. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkblue Posted June 19, 2017 Yeah, but you aren't "ordinary". Ordinary within a society would correspond to the majority, and the majority of Americans aren't Trump supporters. The vast majority of all of you are supporters of American Empire and the Military Industrial Complex - so there's very little difference between you. In fact, Trump has only bombed one country so far. Hillary would probably have bombed three by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(...I'm of course talking about the peanut farmer from Georgia) The funniest thing to me about the whole Carter issue was that when he was running for office, the republicans made a HUGE deal out of his "D.C. inexperience". "He's never held an office HIGHER than GOVERNOR of a STATE! " they cried. "HOW can we expect him to know how to handle the affairs of an ENTIRE NATION?" they exclamed. And what Ford was saying. So, WHO did the republicans choose to oppose him come the NEXT election? Why, former GOVERNOR Ronald Reagan! Somehow, HE had more "D.C.experience" than former GOVERNOR Jimmy Carter. Go figure.

Sepiatone what's to figure? California is a mighty big state. carter was a real pip too. sat around for a whole year while the Iranians held American hostages then greenlights a desert rescue disaster. and when was the last time anyone talked about zero base budgeting? then he blames a stagnant economy on a national malaise. a real pip he was.
