Accusations of Racism, Reactionary, Tomato, Tomahto - It all equals McCarthyism and you full of cricket poop.
I care about what is best for the United States and I care about what is best for West Virginia - that doesn't make me nobody's victim - That makes me a NATIONALIST!!!!
**********
Yes .. You and Trump are Nationalists.
And you need to tell me where that leads YOU..
and where you are going lead us on those "Country Roads"
With your eyes closed to that beauty....and open in a coal mine..
And that it is better for West Virginia and better for the United States.?
Please explain that.. Not to me, but to your fellow West Virginians
As they reopen the coal mines, but not the jobs, not for the environment,, but for the PROFIT.
As the State loses healthcare....that they don't need.. because someone else is going give it to them. So for them... who cares... when one can't get blood from coal
As the state,, who economy depends more on entitlements than jobs.. gets their entitlement taken away. That the state that abuses entitlements like social security disability.. That "nationalist' means that doesn't contribute to the reasons entitlements and Social security and medicare and medicaid.. are a world of hurt.
Tell me how West Virginia is going to save itself, and what West Virginia is going to do..If it's entitlements are taken away?
Tell me.. who's going to SAVE West Virginia.. When the coal mines run out, or or it all just mechanized for profit, or alternative power become not a choice but a necessity?
Yes West Virginia and it's Coal Mines.. could Make American Great Again....If we get thrown back to the stone age
Tell me how West Virginian are going to get the education they deserve. When it can only get better.. and you just want to make it worse.
Tell me how an "invasion" from the south.....destroys the Americanism of West Virginia. How they take jobs away from West Virginians that don't exist.. How they are banging down that door.. so they can do Crimes in West Virginia.
Tell me how tariff, and so called middle class tax cuts.. helps West Virginia. When West Virginia already pay one of the lowest taxes per capita. and depend on coal exportation.
Tell me how ALL West Virginian.. are treated fairly.. How they are all equal..
How they are different... and taking what they can "get" is not what they do. but they appreciate what they are given.
So tell me how that is nationalistic?
I'll tell you your right.... because even though West Virginia is one of the worst problem....They're NOT ALONE.... And it doesn't matter.. if rotten apples are rotten to the core.. it's just matters that they are rotting.. And Somehow you're trying to make an "American PIE" out of them.

Democrats Don't know the Electorate..

Of course, I was angry.. that Democrats thought there was more significance . than there actually is in the Black Vote. In some ways just the opposite
The black vote is marginal.. they have no more control than anyone else..
But that not the message that Democrats send...
Florida and Georgia proves the point.. In a State election The black vote alone couldn't elect anybody.
Try this one on for size....
Gillum said to DeSantis.. I don't think you're a racist ... Racists think you're a racist.
DeSantis.. should have said to Gillum.. "I don't call you Black.. Black people call you black"
You got to think about it.. to understand the electorate.... to understand the action and the equal and opposite reaction
When you want to be a melting pot.. you can't separate the ingredients, and call yourself a "melting pot"
There is very little difference in the Republican electorate mind... and their fence sitters.. Between Honduran invaders, the unholy gay people... and "monkeying" up the state of Florida. It's all about fear..

Evil or Nuts.. Take your choice.

Now that Trump has got a chance with HIS Supreme Court.. He's going to try a overturn Three District Court Decisions. That prevented the overturning of Obama's DACA program..
Now you got a choice is Trump Nuts or is he Evil.
He's nuts, like with citizenship birth, thinking he can get way with it..And actually deport DACA's.. I doubt that seriously.. when he's got to deport 10.3 million others. That aren't REGISTERED DACA's
But he is evil, because without that intention to do so... he still feels... it's leverage to get his WALL, (whatever happened to Mexico paying for it?) and LEGAL immigration reform passed.
If the Supreme Court decides to overturn the DACA program, and allows deportation of REGISTERED ILLEGALS They will have made a judiciary decision based on a political motivation..We will have lost our third branch of government to the White house.

Quoting sparkleflit :Trump isn't on any state ballot? Someone should tell him that....
Well, in the truth sense you're right, but this is not the time for Truth.
It should never happen.. but if there is a time..... it should happen it's NOW.
Embrace it.. because it's ALL this election means.
Just think, in terms of the correction to be made.. It's not going to "correct" anything nationally...just brings things to a head.
And finally.. A truth about "trickle down" economics for the rich..Is only real in regards to "trickle down politics" of the PEOPLE.. The greatest benefit of making this about TRUMP will be at the locale level. It will be immense.. And will eventually trickle back up to the national level.
The "tea party" had it right... look what they accomplished..
Now we got the short sighted...All or nothing Trumpsters....
Who WILL end up getting NOTHING.
Yesterday victories.. will turn to dust on the shelves of History.

Do you prefer the Truth or the LIE

I don't want to condemn anybody for their belief.. I don't want to even be specific about which Party I'm talking... This idea transcends Party politics..
So my question is...... Which would You prefer to believe?
The Truth that will hurt YOU?
or
The Lie that will help YOU.?.
Each of us needs to understand their answer to this question, and accept whatever answer that is. IT is not an easy question!
Believe me, it's not a right or wrong answer.. It's a moral answer
It's not about which Party you belong to...
It's about your ability to believe what you want to believe.. or to believe what you have to believe.

Getting out of the Rain

I wrote this in 2010... I was looking for Some of past answer to my present problems.
It appears, that as we age, WHAT we think changes. We never bother to figure out if HOW we think has changed. It rarely does.
We learn to value the unimportant
of the haves and have nots
But always think we can change
The leopard and it's spots
It's not about others, for we hopefully learn.. they are not within our realm of change. We must accept that a leopard cannot change it's spots, and live with it. But, looking inside of ourselves, Can we change our own spots?
Comes the day, the sky is gray
Is there sun shine, somewhere inside?
or does the pain never go away
If the rain has no place to hide
It's not about WHAT we think, it about HOW we think.
There will always be rain
Sometimes close or sometimes distant
There is no umbrella for what it is
but there's shelter in what it isn't
We tend not to question what something is. The mind believes in it's own truth. It's something that can't be changed, and has nothing to do with the right or wrong of it. It has to do with the "spots" of who we are.
WHAT we think, We think we are
our lives, our truth, more definite
But HOW we think is more telling by far
Our lives, our truth, more infinite
I seems to get into a lot of discussions, that appear to be arguments, not because I disagree about WHAT someone thinks, but disagree with HOW someone thinks. This blog is my reminder of the folly of it all. For who's to say, there is right or wrong of it, . For it is only my spots...I can change

TRUMP DEFENDERS

I getting ready to bolt..This coming election will say.. what i don't need to say anymore..
But one last thing..
What I have ALWAYS known.. is the truer argument of Republicans is within and between themselves. The partisanship of Republicans, the support and the ideas, has ALWAYS been more varied than their argument with Liberals. What hasn't been varied, and has been promoted, is their anti-liberal agreement. The only way to see it, is to remove Liberals from the equation.
But if you look you can find it here... Look at the different Trump supporters here.
We got all the different sorts here..
We got Hiram......who's totally gone with conspiracy theories...forget about it... feed him and your looking a the next "bomber" or "shooter"
.
We got Maisie.....Who wants to debate, but under her terms. She gets to change the rules.. the rules for her and the rules for the rest of US... there is NO common ground in the debate. A debate she will carry on for infinitum....with Liberals, and if that could be over, with Republicans.. Because here's the deal.. Maisie just wants to WIN.....But she can't... because if she ever did.. she wouldn't Know WTF to do.. And Lizst,, who's her tailgunner.. who thinks everybody else gunning for tail....He's her gunner alright! ....Who just thinks about "tail' because he ain't getting any..Same with his politics.
We got Fossil and "big".. they are "the victims" They see themselves as under attack. So they attack back.. they have no other choice..
We got "Bob"....Who's focus is the JOB.. Where words mean more than meanings. An attorney, in a court battle...Where appropriate behavior.. is any behavior you choose... there is no rules in defending your , or to sit on the other side and "LOCK HER UP"
We got DanDee.. the self righteous.. the convert..who thinks he is no longer what he used to be. GEEZ, He's been "saved"... God may have 'saved him, but he's going to 'save' the rest of US
And his opposite. Mrsjoe..who maintains what she is.. Never changing.. her upbringing and her life.. is the way it's suppose to be...for her and for everyone else..If you happen to be "different".. Then different is wrong.. of course she doesn't admit it, She doesn't self evaluate .. AS she compares to everyone else.. but how everyone else compares to her.
We got pro-lifers.....Who are hypocrites and overwhelmed... but more important.. Other than being pro-life and supporting whatever supports pro-life.. You don't have clue.. what they will actually stand for.
So all these different people....What do they have in common....They all dislike Liberals.. Liberal are their "enemy"
Some other interesting commonalities.. is they are all white, they are all "Christian", they are all "better" American.. they all focus on differences instead of commonality..They are all, TRUMP DEFENDERS....I say defenders.. because, the other thing they have in common.. is that they wouldn't know a "supporter" from a jock strap

Those of us who live in the normal ideas of human behavior..Can't understand Trump supporters and what Trump does to make them behave the way they do.
Because we fail, to understand ourselves.
We talk of the value of the Truth.......When it suits Us...... WE get angry with those who don't agree with US... Like, we need to Support the Truth...... Like the Truth needs our help.
It's just NOT TRUE......
I think we wish to accept the magnitude of our division. and not the understanding that USING the Truth is no different than USING the Lie.
That a victim's.. first reaction is ALWAYS retribution.. But what we don't see in ourselves is what entails a victim.. As that idea of our Truth we USE.. The hypocrisy of that is the lack of our own understanding and empathy. It's not much different than anyone of US would feel as a "victim". Our mistake is we want to define what a "victim" is.. But , in reality, it is whatever someone thinks it is...
Truth or not....The fact is Trump supporters see themselves as a "VICTIM"
....From those who a have made them angry. From those who do not listen, From those who wants to control them......Their reaction only entails retribution.
It is the end result that matters.. not the truth or lie of it.
Every time.. Trump lies......and it makes the LEFT.... angry, not listen to, and not in control.....They don't care about their own reaction to it...They care about the Lefts reaction to it........They are getting their retribution.

Your truth must set you free
Locked in the chamber of a gun
A casing of righteousness
A point of honor
hard as blue steel
With no other place to go
Your truth can blow your mind
Just pull the trigger
********************
A soul in darkness does flee
from itself and not from me.
If only sunlight could illuminate
A dark soul and a dreary fate
I bask in sunlight, spirit free
And try so hard not to pity thee.

We need to quit beating around the bush.. we need to understand how people really feel.
I giving three choices..... One, 2A and 2b, because in essence they are the same, and Three..
Specifically I am using pre-existing conditions, as a specific example...but it's really about all the healthcare issues
1. Should a person, who has pre-existing condition, pay all of the increase premium for that condition........Unless each State deems it necessary to contribute to that person specifically
2A. Should EVERYBODY pay a smaller increase to their policy to cover the additional cost of someone with any pre-existing condition...
2B. Should the Federal government subsidize the insurance company or the individual to pay the increase premium for any pre-existing condition.
3. Should the Federal Government, in essence move into the healthcare industry, and provide coverage for any pre-existing conditions For everybody .
For me, personally, there is no right or wrong answer... Each answer has both it's positive and negatives... but that's me....I honesty don't know what other people think
Maybe YOU can enlighten me....Which do you think is the appropriate action?
