I guess I’m just more concerned with the hypocrisy , than being an alarmist about something that human ingenuity could handle if such a problem ever did occur. It’s just crazy how we’re constantly hearing about the 72,000 miles of crude oil pipelines already in use in the US dumping waste into drinking water every day. Amirite?

Yeah, these pipelines are definitely causing a higher demand for cleanup crews... http://www.dailywire.com/news/13219/lol-standing-rock-protesters-leave-behind-enough-frank-camp

I’d be down with McMullen 2020.

When you get a job, you enter into a mutual contract with your employer. They don’t own your production. You do a job for an agreed upon amount, and can quit whenever you want. “Owned or regulated,” both sound like an infringement of freedom to me as long as you’re not directly hurting another person.

Okay, if we use that definition, that’s not freedom. You don’t own your own production or possessions, the community does. I prefer freedom and private property.

Both parties were playing between the 40 yard lines, until this past race. The Democratic Party is being swooned by Bernie.

I don’t see any self-proclaimed socialists running on a Republican ticket.

Yeah, if Diaco was fired, Bray would be my choice. Young and energetic

No, they’re true. Did you watch any of the debates this past election? The Democratic Party is all about higher taxes and redistributionism. That’s the foundation of everything Bernie Sanders believes.

I can agree with most of this. Both the parties seem to just want power. That’s why I look more at ideas. I believe in freedom and I believe that freedom breeds inequality. It’s sad, but true. The Democratic Party is constantly talking about equality of outcome and that bigger government is how to achieve equality. That is one of the reasons I lean more towards conservatism.

According to Webster: Definition of socialism 1:any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods 2a :a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b :a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

But again, you’re arguing about who organized it and I’m just reading about the event itself. That’s our disconnect.

To be honest with you, I’m not seeing too much about wanting to rid the country of Jews....I’m seeing more of this kind of stuff.

Never heard of him. My understanding is, it has more to do with keeping radicals out of their country and putting the safety of their citizens and ideals first. Granted, I know very little about this.

Haven’t you heard? It’s White supremacy to love your country and be proud of your culture. It’s also a sign of patriarchal oppression.

How specific do you want me to be? I could just go broad and say the left, the media, and academia. Not letting the past be the past and trying to move forward together. Many of these people would rather we be Europe.

I see what you’re saying, and there’s definitely something to it. However, I find the gratitude towards the military, at sporting events, refreshing considering all the anti-Americanism currently going on in this country.

Also seems like the Democratic Party is unapologetically moving farther and farther left.

Honestly, it’s more just something I think a lot of the Bernie Bros should read up on. They always seem to point to the more free-market, but still high income-taxed, Scandinavian countries as to what they want. They don’t seem to take into consideration the lower corporate taxes and smaller/more homogeneous population of those countries. Also don’t take into account the low military budget of those countries thanks to the ol’ US of A.

Thanks! Yeah, politics seem more polorized than I can ever remember. I think right-leaning people and conservatives feel like they can’t voice their opinions for fear of their character being called into question. You know, the whole sexist, racist, bigot, homophobe garbage they’re accused of. I’m hoping my posts make them feel more comfortable to voice they’re opionions and open up the discussion. I hate all the character assassination in politics now. I believe both sides want essentially the same thing, they just believe in different ways of accomplishing their goals.

I’m a long-time reader of the huskerboard forum, but never thought about signing up until I came across the ‘Politics and Religion’ section of the site. I find it both surprising and alarming at how seemingly one-sided the posts are, so I’ve decided to try and shake things up a bit....
