Exactly, and that requires individual responsibility and choice not U.S. government regulation. The former is the pragmatic answer. The latter is a power grab and does not effect an adequate solution. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

That's about as intelligible as 99% of the drivel you spew. I suppose it's not your fault though, it's just the result of breathing all the mercury from those coal-fired power plants you love so much. Don From what I understand, a friend of mine works for Tampa Electric, China opens a new coal fired power plant every week. Now just what do you think Americans can do to stop this?

When you figure that a large part of Hillary's votes only count for 3/5 of a real vote, Trump won by a landslide. You be bad. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

In my area, north GA, the main concerns among my peers are: 1. Open borders 2. Clinton corruption 3. HC's incompetence 4. Opposition to socialism 5. 2nd Amendment rights 6. HC's collusion with the Muslim Brotherhood Obamacare was rarely mentioned during the campaigning. BTW, I'm 74. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

No sweat, you actually motivated me to check the definition. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

My county went pretty strongly (2/3) for Trump. Of course, it is an agricultural county with no cities or even very large towns, it is mostly white, and in my experience the Republicans could nominate a dead opossum to run and it would beat any possible opponent. I suppose life is easier if you don't actually have to bother finding out about what the candidates stand for, and just vote based on the R or D after their name. I wonder why judges, sheriffs, even the county coroner run as Republicans or Democrats? Shouldn't these jobs be non-political? Don I was a poll manager up here and tried to catch the small talk from the voters. The conversations I heard were personal and anti-Hillary. I only noticed one voter who was expressing a desire for a Democrat Party ballot. Of course, there wasn't one. I agree, local offices need not be partisan. Up here they are personal choices usually based on first hand knowledge of the individual. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

How did your county vote? Mine, naturally, was an overwhelming choice for Trump. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I do not believe that all lobbyists are bad. The same as not all ________ (fill in the blank) are bad. The Vietnam Veterans of America employs lobbyists to influence legislation to benefit veterans. The National Rifle Association employs lobbyists to influence legislation to protect the 2nd Amendment. Maybe, just maybe, with President Trump their efforts can be reduced. However, I am a member of both organizations because I support the work they have done. BTW, the VVA has a strong liberal bias in its foundation.

Hmm. Is that what you call what you've been engaged in for the last eight years? SHTF indeed. You know, that is actually a good point. William Glasser approached neurosis from the standpoint of imagined fear and real fear. Both your point and mine are dealing with imagined fear. The main difference I see is that you have no evidence to support your fear. I, on the other hand, base my fear on social unrest and domestic terrorism which has already begun since Trump's victory. Here is one headline. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/trump-protests-in-us-231165 The progressive liberal elite are not going to stop disrupting our society and culture just because they lost this battle. The fact is the war continues because their path to power is founded in chaos. Since conservatives won this round our job is to make America a place where the majority has a good chance for a good life. Progressive liberals want the majority to have a struggling, depressed life and then they will rely on government to make them feel good. I am here for you. Let me know how I can help as you deal with your readjustment. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

He may do those things. He may also get us into trade wars with China, Europe, and Mexico, shooting wars with whomever disses him, and global economic collapse. He's totally unpredictable. The only predictable thing about him is that he doesn't have any idea what he's doing. I just hope he turns over the reins to someone who does and spends his time basking in the glow of the Oval Office. In Glasser's Reality Therapy, that is called catastrophic thinking. It is what it is, make it work. We will help you more than the BHO/HC progressive liberals helped us. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

IMO, you have missed the point of his election. I didn't vote for him because I thought he would do something for the little guy. I voted for him to secure our borders, repeal and replace Obamacare and nominate at least one, maybe two, conservative SC Justices. If he gets that done in the first four years I'll be a happy camper. The little guy will will have more opportunity to work and thrive. Of course, he will have more flexibility in his second term. It is not a question of who will give me the most. It is who will best govern and secure my nation. President Elect Donald Trump, I just love saying that.

So talk about the weather, like nice people do. Stay away from politics and religion. Like your mother taught you. IMO: You do not understand real people that are not phony. We talk about things that are important but in a polite way. In recovery, we call it rigorous honesty. We are not responsible for someone else's feelings. Each person has to learn to handle and express their own emotions. It is risky to live that way but it is the shortest distance on the path of growth. In other words, if you want to manipulate someone you flatter them with surface comments. If you are rigorously honest you share what is real from your gut. That is how you find true friends. We don't look for people who are easy to snow. We look for real people, those who stand up for what they believe. We look for people willing to take personal responsibility. We look survivors who can stand on their own. Trump is real. Hillary by her reputation, her current behavior and her self admission is two faced.

My experience with fundamentalist "Christians" is that the 'invitations' are accompanied by a lot of threats of fire and brimstone and damnation if they don't repent and do what they are told to do. It is very difficult to fraternize with people who are convinced that their way is the only way and that all others must follow the exact same way or suffer "God's Wrath." If dude doesn't want to join your church, don't force it. But that shouldn't mean you can't treat him with love, kindness and respect even if he doesn't believe as you do. And I (as usual) fail to understand why you can't fraternize with "socialists", especially since you and (apparently) many of your "tribesmen" are retired, collecting social security and using medicare. IMO: You are assuming way too much. This person has only been dealt with in love. There have been no threats at all. The individual in question simply cannot deal with conversations focusing on right wing Christian conservative capitalism as opposed to progressive/liberal atheist socialism.

Precisely what you are doing. Weird. IMO: That is a good observation. What is your suggestion? How about love him as a neighbor and treat him with respect? You know, like that one fella said to do.

IMO: Another article that accurately articulates our disgust with HRC. It was written by a former jumper and close friend, John "Cass" Cassady, USSF, LTC (Ret).

IMO: You have misunderstood my posts. Please read and compare post #2002 and #2013. I stated the individual was uncomfortable because folks here do not agree. I stated that we have tried to help and have extended invitations to church. This individual is an atheist and progressive/liberal. This individual does not fit well and that is not our problem. I doubt he leaves, he is more likely to remain and complain. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

IMO: You just disrespected a man who dedicated his entire life's work for democracy, freedom and liberty. We have a Kiwi progressive/liberal/socialist/BHO & HRC lover up here in the mountains. Life is getting uncomfortable for that person and I hear plans are being considered to relocate. Hillbilly: A higher altitude redneck. He is just another racist idiot who has a problem with 4 people dying during Democratic control, but fully supports Republicans when they invade countries and cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He is a brainless, un-patriotic fuckwhit who rates lower than a piece of shit, using dead people for some political ploy. You're getting really good lately at hurling names and labels at people. F****** sad at best IMO: The object of these progressive/liberals is to demoralize us to break us down. They want to anger us to the point of unsocialized behavior requiring sanction. This individual is simply not smart enough to understand that using the language of a low level thug just makes him pathetic, an adolescent mentality that needs to be encouraged into adulthood.
