People can tell me what they think is good or bad....What they think is the truth...
I understand that those things have no absolute reality....They are perceptions..

We don't live our lives totally on perceptions.. there are rules.. And the greatest rule is an untruth is NOT a perception. A LIE is a not a perception... The greatest mistakes of history have been made when people accept that a Lie is just a perception. Like kings were descended from god....Like The German people in 1939 .....were the same a we are now..they understood that truth is a perception....but failed to realize the LIES they were told are not.

Trump is out prove a Lie is a perception..
He says what he does is the best ever for US...Whatever he touches is Golden...He's a God send...He doesn't make mistakes.... He fully understands that if he can turn that Lie into a perception...Then all he says and does can become a truth. A truth by perception.... As all the greatest dictators of the world have tried to do.

Maisie, it isn't the difference of opinions concerning our president and his policies that bothers me, it is the animosity shown to other who have a different opinion. And no one can argue that it is primarily the radical left media and Hollywood that promotes it the worst, inciting regular people to hate others who disagree with them.

Tell me something I haven't heard on Republican talk radio.

Your comments on Michelle Obama are parroted not to mention childish. She didn't "take away" anybody's lunch. She was an advocate of healthful living, along with the Obama Adm.

It's pathetic that Republican 'talkers' fail to acknowledge .. or just don't understand the connection between quality of life and diet. Check some statistics on obesity, who has it, what leads to, and the cost of preventable diseases caused by obesity.

Health wise we get what we are given. That said .. the most important parts of health that we can control are diet and exercise...and only recently thanks to Obamacare, Preventative HC is mainstream.

And Education starts in school.

Well, that depends on who you talk to, where you get your European news. For one thing, Europe is not one political body.....there are many countries with different political systems. Germany does have a strong Right-wing lobby, but it's gone there before with disastrous results. What I get from my European contacts is that Trump is considered not only a blithering fool, but a dangerous madman by most Europeans.

Hey buddy … as everybody knows Michelle Obama was an advocate. She didn't legislated anything. So to use your words she didn't "foisted" any "crap" on anybody.

And I've never heard the lunch room horror stories from people actually employed by school districts. Care to explain that?

And lets get real .. you don't eat at schools and you don't look in their garbage cans … and you don't know what the food tastes like … do you?

I remember a recipe Dan posted a few years ago....He called it a "salad" and it consisted of boiled macaroni, huge amounts of cubed cheese and lots of mayonnaise.....so his culinary tastes and concept of health-conscious eating habits may not be the best measure of healthy nutrition.....LOL

How many of them did you talk to? I have grandkids in the school system.... in two different districts, and all of them begged their mothers to send their lunches because they did not get enough and they did not like the choices.
Both districts soon stopped using the so called healthy guidelines.

This is what Dan stated, just in case you didn't read it the first time......." Gimme a break about obesity...it ain't the food buddy, it's sittin on their butts playing video games instead of going outside and getting physical exercise that makes em fat".............Are the Conservative kids free to do that too?......Michelle also advocated for children getting more exercise.....It has been very clear, for a very long time that Conservatism lets people be free of all kinds of knowledge......In fact, Trump ran on the beauty of the freedom of ignorance......and continues to lead on it.....freedom to be ignorant.......Ah yes, the beauty of it is staggering....the only freedom that really counts.....

I don't want to argue.. the right or wrong... To me it's all wrong.. so you need argue your right of it...because i can't see it.. I don't believe MOST people in Europe do not find Trump offensive. or just don't care..

Nationalism works great until..one finds out...

The Irish believe there is nothing like green grass of Ireland
And the Chinese think there is nothing like the Great Wall of China
And Mexicans think nothing compares to their Great Mexican Flag .

But American think there nothing as spectacular as the American Eagle.
Especially when it pisses of the green grass of Ireland
Shit's on the great wall of China
and wipes it's ass with the Mexican flag...

It is my hope that the Democrat House and The Republican Senate will balance each other out and learn to work together instead of against each other. What I saw happening with the school lunch issue in our local community is the schools working with the local farmers and some of schools creating community gardens. The menu didn't change all that much, they just added a few more locally grown vegetables. I was never in favor of Obama and Michelle bashing and I have problems with hatred toward all things Trump, Michelle and Ivanka.

Trump doesn't do politically correct nor does he sugarcoat but if you listen in-between the bluster - you can hear where he's absolutely right. Also listen to Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She's awesome. Most Liberal will parrot the same insults they hear other people throwing out without bothering to really listen or investigate.

There are tons of things that are NONE OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT'S F***** BUSINESS yet you support them.

Some educators might think it's their job to prepare students for the world we live in .. as opposed to the world you wish you lived in.

One example, before Obamacare the thieves at Anthem Blue called being 10 lbs. overweight a preexisting condition .. your last doctor visit is a preexisting condition .. a medication is a preexisting condition.That's the world we live in.

So what? Looks like? Democrats? State lines? Unions? Congress? Hilarious .. I'm talking about education regarding WHAT IS .. not your utopia that doesn't exist.

Yeah it is your job to educate your kids and it's the governments job as well. And you can't teach what you don't know. Check some statistic on people who get educated in school and those who don't get educated in school. Reality check time.

I give Michelle Obama kudos for at least trying to start something that could evolve into something great... even though Americans are too stupid for it. That's not her problem.

There's an old saying that I like .. 'pay me now or pay me later'. In this case you can learn something now or you can do as millions do .. learn it later in in a hospital bed … you can learn it when the side effects from your medications kick in … or maybe learn it in cardio rehab

Well.. insurance companies moving out... are not because they lost million because of Obamacare.. It's because they want to prevent themselves from losing millions from Obamacare..
The writing for them was on the wall....mandated coverages, such as preexisting conditions, and age inclusions...were going to cause too great an increase in premium, to maintain profits.....It wasn't about losing millions.. it was about losing the millions they were making.
For Doctors too.. it was about losing money......Obamacare and Medicare were similar in the fact the were going to cost doctors MONEY...to maintain the same patients.. thus lowering profits...

And the chips began to fall....Their idea that one could keep their insurance and their doctor.. Had nothing to do DIRECTLY with Obamacare.. but indirectly with the ability for insurance companies and doctors to maintain their substantial profitability...To do so.. YOU were cut loose... They were caught between a rock and hard place..They could not compete with government subsidized programs.. So that was going to be a loss..They couldn't join government subsidized health healthcare and just "accept' the reduction in profitability.

Obamacare did it's best to avoid.. but lowering healthcare cost...From the MACRO SENSE.. meant somebody was going to lose money...

You know.... like what YOU buy into.. Tax cuts create a deficit..that will be made up by increased GNP.. and increase in aggregate Tax..... Well.. Obamacare thought the same thing. That reducing healthcare costs in the aggregate would be made up by more people, and government paying adding to it.. But from the standpoint of insurance and doctors.. having to service more people for the same aggregate dollars.. wasn't such a "good profit idea" for them..

So let me ask you .. how did that worked out?
And then... How do you think the tax cuts will work out?

So what if the Michelle's healthy nutrition program didn't work.......Kids who are used to eating a lot of fat, salt, sugar, carbs aren't going to suddenly prefer smaller portions of healthier food.......Their parents need to be educated and motivated, It's hard to cut down.....sugar is physically addicting, especially for children.

Pretending that what people eat isn't a huge factor in obesity and diseases like Diabetes and Heart Disease may protect your tender feelings, but that doesn't make it true.......You say the most ridiculous things and insist they are true........remember when you said that we can't know that air exists because we can't see it?......

Maisie, I think you're a little hung up on Left vs. Right. Problem is, without drama and division your left with a bigmouth uneducated President slashing spending programs and grubbing the US Treasury.

That said .. I'm pretty sure that most Americans understand there's difference between a tax bill written specifically for the wealthiest Americans and illegal immigration .. and sexual assault.

Try thinking about issues case by case .. it's less confusing.

It all a matter of INTENT..

In one case tear gas was use to prevent the specific entry of those trying to do something. In the other case.. it had nothing to do with that.. it had to do with punishment and sending a message. It wasn't necessary, except for those in Mexico and Central America to get the message. Just because it works.. doesn't mean it's right.

it's a matter of being consistent.. believing one but not believing the other.. or giving one the benefit of the doubt and not the other..Those you accuse... are giving the benefit of the doubt to both... when YOU do NOT.. It's is your INTENT to not have doubt.. that is the issue.. not theirs

Because the INTENT of SOME companies is to KEEP all their profit... and the INTENT of the government is NOT to TAKE All their profit.. You can see it.. the way you want.. but the government is not TAKING anything.. Unless.. You just consider it "taking shit" from SOME companies.

Make America Great Again like when we had labor unions----control over interest rates----control over utilities-----control over the price of gold----control over banking when bankruptcy was not considered good business and there was a windfall profits tax on corporations. The little people were important back then.
