"Don’t forget the crime and poverty and homeless camps all courtesy of the Democratic Party. Coming to a town near you.....just keep voting Democratic."

All at considerably lower levels than during the Reagan administration . Have you even been in a city in the last 10 years? Right now, in Bedford Stuyvesant and Harlem, where cocaine ruled during the Reagan and Bush administrations, gentrification has transformed these places. Poverty remains a problem because we do not have decent programs to provide health care and education to our most vulnerable citizens, much less housing. But we do have trillions to reduce taxes (already lower than any developed nation) for the wealthy and corporate interests. So I'll give you poverty. But the poorest states in the Union, by any metric, are actually the rural Red States led by vintage 19th century thinkers.

That's because there are virtually no black, hispanic, Native American or Commies walking around with automatic weapons, just right wing loose cannons (pun intended).

The commies are all your antifa people with masks on burning down the cities. How would you know what race they are when they all have masks on?

[Neil]

"Coming to a town near you.....just keep voting Democratic"

Well God knows the Democrats are far from perfect. But would you rather have a country where a corrupt and litigious real estate developer basically lives like Louis XIV while paying no taxes? A Republican heaven where the average working class folks support the excessive and appalling habits and indulgences of someone who is basically the spiritual heir to Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky?

We need a new party in this country.

No we need to get rid of the democrats and Neil

"The commies are all your antifa people"

Stop watching Fox News. They are lying idiots. The antifa are neither organized enough nor intellectual enough to subscribe to a political ideology. At best they are anarchists who believe in nothing. They are a trivial proportion of the population compared with right wing nutjobs who think aliens are destroying our children with vaccines .

And no cities have been burned down. Not minimizing the damage to businesses and buildings, which are real, but the damage has been nothing compared with the 1960s. A minor problem that only a self-important nitwit like our President could turn into a major issue. I have no sympathy for these anarchist looney tunes, but they aren't being supported by the President the way the white supremacists, misogynists, racists and anti-Semites have gotten encouragement from the President for Life, Papa Doc Trump. Who will soon be out of office, if there really is a merciful God.

Yep. Trump just took advantage of the tax laws that your people wrote to exempt them selves from. Corporations creates jobs, government doesn’t.

[Neil]

"Corporations creates jobs, government doesn’t."

And the number of jobs created by the latest Republican tax cuts? Next to none. I am not anti-business, but you are deeply misinformed if you think government doesn't create jobs. You may have heard of the New Deal, which was fought tooth and nail by Republicans, but saved many families from starvation, homelessness and despair. Only a fool would want government to be the major employer, and no Democrat has ever even suggested that. As for Democrats having created the tax laws Trump has shamelessly exploited (possibly illegally, which we will find out), that's total nonsense. Most real estate developers and their lobbyists are Republicans to the core.

You feeling okay Neil? I’ve never heard a lib utter the word God. I watch fox, but there are never trumpers on there too. I mainly listen to Rush and Chris Plante, and some YouTube. Probably a little more diverse than your steady diet of CNN.

[Neil]

Rush Limbaugh has to be one of the most reprehensible human beings and ignorant swine ever to take up a microphone. And those are his good points. A crueler, more selfish, abusive racist and misogynist would be hard to find.

By the way, I get the Wall Street Journal daily and read their editorial page. Do you even glance at the NY Times?

You've never heard a liberal mention the word God? I guess you're too young to have heard of Martin Luther King or Jesse Jackson? Or perhaps William Sloane Coffin? All ministers and as liberal as they come. Or maybe Jesus? Not a minister but the New Testament seems clear that we should take care of the poor and that a rich man is unlikely to wind up in heaven. What do you think Papa Doc Trump's chances are of making it to heaven? Do you think his life and values would attract a modern day Jesus more than a Joe Biden or Karmala Harris? Remember that Jesus wanted to revolt against the corruption of the Jewish and Roman authorities of his time. Not anti-fa, but probably would be a Black Lives Matter supporter.

Oh this gets richer all the time. Now it’s Reverend Neil who can’t start a conversation without insulting a person and now questions President Trumps spiritual condition. ****** hilarious Neil. You ever read about casting stones or removing the plank from your brothers eye? I hope your patients are reading here. If so be still and know that Father Neil can calm the waters and heal all your ailments. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Neil

[Neil]

I am not a religious or spiritual person. Just pointing out that many such people are liberal. The values most liberals espouse towards the poor, immigrants, disadvantaged groups are amply supported in the Gospels, which have as little in common with Rush Limbaugh's approach to the poor as one can imagine. It's impossible to be insulting to someone who called people who disagreed with his misogynist positions "feminazis." Talk about defending the indefensible.

You can despise my politics as much as you want, but if Jesus were around, he'd be on my side without a doubt . You're supporting Rush and Donnie the Sly who are the closest we have to the Anti-Christ in this country.

Neil, I love you brother but millions of people support both of them. Can that many people be wrong?

[Neil]

"Can that many people be wrong?"

People, even basically decent people, can do terrible things when they are deluded, mistaken and/or desperate. Or starving. I give you as a prima facie example about 30 million Germans between 1933 and 1945. Or supporters of that murderous scum Stalin, weeping at his tomb. These weren't necessarily bad human beings but they went terribly, terribly wrong. Are Rush or Donnie that bad? Not yet and hopefully never. But some terrible things are being done to vulnerable people in your name and my name by Donnie and his thugs. Not concentration camp, mass murder bad, but pretty awful. War is cruel, but we aren't at war with poor people from Central America. Donnie is at war with them in my name and your name. Would you or I separate small children from their parents intentionally? Of course not.

So the short answer--there are a substantial number of people who are wrong if they tolerate or support a President who openly encourages people who are carrying Confederate flags or who have swastika tattoos. He's way over the line on many occasions, and the people who follow him may be good people, but they are deeply wrong on these and other issues.
