It was a conservative belief, way back in the time of WFB jr that manners and mores mattered.
The core belief was that life is based on the family and family values mattered, that setting a good example for your children and the people around you was of importance.
That service to your family, community and church was valued and was recognized by your peers as of value.
That while laws are needed, they matter little to people of character because they would break few of them anyways.
That civil discourse was needed for our society to succeed and that all that contributed to it on any side are important.
I see little of that in the Republican Party of today.
It's fine to condemn the other side but the first responsibility is to police yourself.
A wise man can hold his tongue, but at some point you become complicit.
If bigotry and racism become normal, then it is the silent majorities fault and burden to bear.
So you need to think about whom you choose to lead, what they say matters.

given where you must look to
get your news, it’s no shock that you see little of that. you can’t form
your entire opinion of republicans, based on what someone says who hates republicans.

go eat lunch at a chick fil
a, go hang out with people
who volunteer to read to sick children at catholic hospitals. turn off msnbc for
a moment.

what could the gop do regarding trumps behavior, that would satisfy you? should they have him assassinated?

they aren’t going to commit political
suicide, nor should
they. regarding his go back to where they come
from remark, graham said trump
should stick to criticizing their marxist agenda and a higher with his behavior. i’m fine with that. as you would
be if hilary had won and she behaved atrociously.

hmm, funny, but those are pretty much Jim's core values, as well as most of the people on this board. But because they havent lost their GD minds over Trump, they're just Alt-Right/Trumplicans.

Many folks here like to criticize without giving back. Soup kitchens need help in every town still,but let’s use that money for housing criminals at the border instead of preventing the illegal actions. Inner city charities need sponsors and tax and spend isn’t going to help. Must be Trumps fault.

it’s very relevant, trump said that their home countries were broken and crime infested, and people are saying that comment was racist. the only one not born here, is from somalia.

If Trump recent comments have shocked you, clearly you haven’t been paying attention, it’s just more of the same. Get under his skin and his MO is personal attacks, it’s so predictable I wish there were lottery tickets I could play gambling on who he would attack next💰💰💰

Depends on the context. Well . . . for a normal person context would matter. For you the context re Trump is always that he's a racist or one of the phobes or stupid, and always that he is dangerous.

I find him to be a refreshing divergence from the politics as usual that has mostly been a slow erosion of our country's wealth, power, spirit, optimism, and love of freedom, into a debt ridden, self doubting, apologetic, splintered nation of a constantly growing number of government dependents envious of those who succeed beyond the lower middle, and who, along with the anemically educated, social justice indoctrinated intellectual lightweights, are the useful idiots that help drive the transformation of this nation into the Progressive promised land of security and happiness for all--brought to you by our god-like infallible experts who will never fail to give you what you need--what you really need, not your stupid little wishes and desires, you silly boy.

Trump gave us a little reprieve from the anesthetizing media and political mental massaging "good" narrative that molded us into the new age people of the planet, the globe, the world "community."

But, because he frightened them, perplexed them, somehow beyond reason, beyond anything they could comprehend, he somehow defeated their good global person, he brought forth from the depths of this soulless "community" its brainwashed human harpies who screech bad words--racist, homophobe, thisphobe, thatphobe, sexist, misogynist, hater, Nazi, fascist--at him and at those who preferred him to one of their own good "world" persons. And even sometimes, like robots from their hellish bowels, some come forth with black masks and beat his supporters with rods and fists and throwing concrete laden "milk shakes" in their faces and screeching the bad words at them.

So, because Trump has somehow reverted America back to its selfish, jingo, nation centered, capitalist, outmoded individualist, successful, unapologetically wealthy and powerful place and people, the bad words cannot stop. They must continue and grow. They must be thrown at everything he says and does. Every day, every hour. He must be impeached. He must be convicted. He must be removed. He is DANGEROUS.

So how are we to take you?

In my corporate past if Trump were not the owner or CEO and made those comments about fellow workers, guess who would be meeting with the HR director shortly after, in the hopes the company wouldn’t be facing a legal issues. Hey I’m happy he stepped in it, because while he may have gotten a high five from the old wonder bread he is preaching to, he may have stopped the infighting on the left and he certainly screwed himself on a major voting block.

Three of them are native born Americans. Are you agreeing with Trump saying America is a country whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world?

So you're saying the owner or CEO could make those comments? Hmmm . . . . So it's not the comments, it's who makes them. If a Dem pol said something like that about some "racist" or "Nazi" Republican Trumplican politician, that would probably be OK with Trump hating folks.

Personally, I don't see what's so outrageous about Trump's full tweet. It certainly wasn't racist. Calling it racist is hogwash. To begin with, countries are not races. And they were personal, said to specific persons, not to generalized races.

And those specific persons, in the eyes of many, deserved a dressing down. When Pelosi called them out, she did so because they deserved it. And the notion that the countries that their parents ran from, and which Trump criticized, are consistently defended by the ladies against US actions, including US wishes to equalize trade with, or get cooperation on illegal immigration, or defending Israel, it makes one wonder where those ladies loyalty resides. And if there is more loyalty in the hearts of those ladies to their ancestral countries than to the US, I would applaud the ladies if they spent their energies and comments on improving the condition of those countries. I have often thought that those who flee their countries in droves to come here because where they came from are chitholes, that it would be better for all of us, including those they left behind, if they had stayed and fought to make their homeland what they want this country to be.

Have you read his tweets?
Have you watched his helicopter news conferences?
Watched his rallies?
Looked at news reports other than right of center?
I’m on two local government boards and the board of another organization. Hardly liberal organizations.
Sorry but There’s not one of those places where you claim correct thinking people assemble within 75 miles of me. I must be missing out by not going to fast food restaurants or being a catholic.
As far as his behavior it’s as easy as saying what you said is unacceptable. Politicians have done it for hundreds of years in this country. It’s ghastly that trump has such control of his minions in Congress that criticism is political suicide.
Lindsey Graham has gone from never trump to trump’s asskisser in two years because he’s scared. Watch the link I posted, nothing fake there but Lindsey.
As far as Hillary goes your reading comprehension must suck.

So you judge the entire GOP, tens of millions of people, by the actions of one man, Trump. Sounds fair and rational.

Can I judge you based on what elizabeth warren says and does? Or AOC? Or Anthone Weiner? or Hilary Clinton?

"Lindsey Graham has gone from never trump to trump’s asskisser"

Graham bashed Trump just yesterday for his "go back where you came from" comments. Graham was very critical of Trump, just yesterday. Your issue, is that you divide the world into 2 groups...those as deranged and blinded with trump hatred as you are, and everyone else is a Trump asskisser. No in between, not with you. ANyone (like me and Graham) who praises him sometimes, and criticizes him sometimes, is a Trumplican. TDF nailed it. I'll probably stop responding to you, there's literally no point, your entire perspective is orange man bad, you have nothing else, you aren't capable of seeing or hearing anything else. Look at the threads you've posted since he got elected.

I had to look to find what set you off, is this it? I’ll stand by it.
“So you need to think about whom you choose to lead, what they say matters.”

You keep insisting that if I despise Trump I must like liberal politicians.

Silly boy, I believe all Americans have the right to a political voice.

Trump doesn’t, as evidenced in his speech and his response to Grahams “criticism”.

“I disagree with Lindsey on that,” he said. “He said, ‘Aim higher, shoot higher.’ What am I going to do, wait until we get somebody else in a higher position, higher office? These are people that hate our country.”

I don’t find this acceptable, apparently you do.

AOC and I probably don’t agree on a single policy issue. But I don’t believe she “hates” America. I believe she & I believe in different America’s. And I will defend her right to say whatever she wants to say. And I will never demand she leaves this country because we disagree.

As I’ve said many times, I feel no need to praise Trump, he already claims more than he deserves.

We didn’t but I’ve seen some very successful homeschooled kids grow up. Better than average students, parents efforts count.
School Board member 20+ years ago. I did a few terms, some as chairman.
Great rural school and one of the lowest per pupil costs in the state.

they absolutely created the septic tank that is DC, and then they are appalled when the right nominated someone who could
beat them at the game of fighting without rules. they assumed
we’d keep nominating nice but wimpy folks who could
not defend themselves in that arena. As always, they were wrong.

Hey Trump claimed he is the lest racist person he knows and we all know he never lies, so he must have some really racist friends. If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s a fing duck. Now if you are current serving in the Senate and are republican, or have become drunk on the coolaid, you somehow see a swan. It Trump proving yet again who he is.

i’m not defending trump. i’ll go very slowly here, please try to follow the bouncing ball.

i asked if its racist to say that somalia is a dysfunctional country. ( answer- it’s not racist, because it is in fact a terrible place).

you said that question isn’t relevant.

i said it is relevant because it’s a part of his tweet that he’s getting slammed for.

now you say i’m defending him.

it was a stupid offensive tweet. but not racist.

and the more i think about it, the less of a problem i have, with telling 4 hens who clearly hate everything this country was founded upon, to get lost if they hate it that much. he shouldn’t have said go back where you came from, but if he said “you obviously hate everything the country is and stands for, so i have good news for you, you are free to leave”, id have been ok with that.

AOC is too stupid to be dangerous, she’s a harmless punchline, who i believe is actually doing more good for the GOP than could be done by any republican who could
ever win that district.

Omar is a very different animal. a reporter asked her if she would
condemn the antifa terrorist attack at an ICE facility he tried to incinerate, and she refused to condemn it, and i’m not making that up. that one is a manchurian candidate who loathes the country that took her in. she is scary. when you can’t condemn an obvious act of domestic terrorism, you have no business being in congress.

video of Omar refusing to condemn domestic terrorism, and that's not any kind of exaggeration.

the left never stops perpetrating the myth that trump refuses to condemn white supremacists. well here is Omar in all off her radically anti-american glory, refusing to condemn domestic terrorism.
that could have killed dozens. how in christ’s name did this one get elected.

this is the message the democrats keep sending to the folks sneaking into the country or coming in as a result of our generosity and refusing to leave

i’ll give you $100
in cash if you can post anything i’ve ever said, that would
make anyone with an IQ of 50 or
higher, think that i feel that way. or
kindly admit you made it up. I’m serious, $100 in cash for
any evidence to support that bullsh*t claim you just made. i condemned what trump said, are you so slow and dim that you missed the 5 times
that i said it was an offensive tweet?

if anything, immigrants who come
here legally and become citizens, are better citizens, because unlike many of us, they don’t take the beauty and opportunity of this place for granted. they work hard, do the right things, and view education as a gift from god, many of them send their kids, first generation born here, to college. that’s the stereotype of the legal immigrant. that’s the ideal, classic, stereotypical immigrant, someone who grabs the opportunities we offer with both hands.

is that clear enough for you? or are you still a bit fuzzy?
