Totally irrational..

Just saw where this post had a running total of 777 views I am partial to some numbers and that’s one. Just watched the White House? Where that fine young lady speaks on behalf of our President and really enjoyed it.

Groovy!

“ I certainly don't see his attempts to place the executive branch under the control of the President as an extension of his power. “
How many of Mr, Trump’s ExOs bypass Congress?
That is not the way the founding fathers laid it out .

The tenets of Marxism include dialectical materialism, class struggle, historical materialism, the theory of surplus value, and communism.
Explanation

    Dialectical materialism
    A materialist philosophy that emphasizes real-world conditions and contradictions in social relations.

Class struggle
The idea that class struggle is a law of history and the driving force behind social change.

Theory of surplus value
The idea that capitalists exploit workers by paying them less than the value they produce.

Communism
A form of socialism that supports the abolition of private property and the redistribution of wealth.

Other tenets of Marxism include:

There are only two important classes: the proletariat and the bourgeoisie.

The state should control the means of production.

The working class should overthrow the capitalist class.

The division of labor in a capitalist society alienates people from their work and their selves.

Marxism views society as a series of class conflicts where one class dominates others.

How many decades have Presidents been bypassing Congress?

At that Congress has made itself a cluster of persons who are there for prestige and fantastic health and retirement programs.

2 political favorites “ I don’t even know what I’m signing “ and “ democrat voters do not know what their party has done for them “ from that old game show “ name that tune “

“  At that Congress has made itself a cluster of persons who are there for prestige and fantastic health and retirement programs.”  That is quite a generalization. If it were true, it would be a good reason to dissolve Congress and leave all the decisions to the executive branch. Kinda like what is happening now.

Quite apparently you have a bad case of TDS or Trump Derangement Syndrome…

[darkgael]

Yep. I admit it.

Considering how badly democrat policies suck, how else could they possibly win elections? I mean they wouldn’t try and rig elections, now would they?

Never under estimate the stupidity of the U.S. general populaous espcially if it is a supposed govt. give away

The New World Order took over the Democrat party and some Republicans.  They want to reduce world population because they think we are running out of minerals and fuel to keep producing stuff.  Part of this is pushing the LBGTQ movement.  Gays cannot reproduce.  Trans, especially pushing it on kids under 18 makes them unable to reproduce.  Using "group think" they pushed this especially on the western world to reduce population. 

The same thing with pushing vaccines that cause problems and deaths in some people. 

China tried to reduce their population with their "one child" policy.  This backfired with untrasound to find out if they were having a boy or girl and the Chinese women killed off their girls because in their culture, the sons were to take care of their elderly.  Now they have more men than women. 

Everything socialist and communists try fails yet they keep trying to get different results doing the same thing over and over. 

The US alone has enough resources to provide the same standard of living with a population the size of China.  In a book I read and now can't find, it said we would have to go nuclear power to provide enough power to do this.  Solar and wind alone can't do it.  Then, there is invention and innovation that can provide new and different ways to make and do things.  Wood for homes may be replaced with concrete and stone which is far more plentiful.  Recycling has reduced the need for new steel making and new plastic making, and it is not even being used like it was in WWII.  Also, the oceans have hardly even been scratched for minerals and oil.  Oh, and granite rock alone can provide all the uranium needed for centuries. 

Also, as a countries standard of living increases, their birth rate goes down.  India's birth rate is falling now.  China's too.  In the western world it has fallen too far due to culture changes like the LBGTQ crap.  Also, not getting married and having a family.  This is especially true with left wing people. 

We have to return to traditional values to survive.  Not just in America and the west, but everywhere.  Traditional values of just plain old husband, wife, and kids, that is as old as humanity itself.

“.  In the western world it has fallen too far due to culture changes like the LBGTQ crap.” I wonder what percentage of the population is LBGTQ?

“.  In the western world it has fallen too far due to culture changes like the LBGTQ crap.” I wonder what percentage of the population is LBGTQ?

  Thaty likely depends upon which population we are considering.  In my county for instance, a no-nonsense, rural and basically Christian county,
   I doubt the percentage is very high.

  ...But when one considers a city like San Francisco etc., the figure would likely be much higher.

I believe the percentage is small butt, they have a lot of sway in politics etc as IMO if you can get people to say or agree to lies, you own them.

I wonder what percentage of the population is LBGTQ?

I believe I recently saw an article on this on News Max. I'm not sure on the numbers but I think it said that of the total population of the US the LGBTQ percentage was around 10%. It also said tho the younger generations it was much higher at around 25% to 30% I think were the numbers.

I think i recall them saying that especially in the younger generations, I think they mentioned Gen Z and Maybe Gen X, I don't know how old those folks are, that the numbers were so high due to so many being bisexual as opposed to just gay/queer/lesbian.

I think Maybe older generations they also said the bisexuals were a large part of that overall percentage.

Don't hold me to those numbers but it was the gist of the article. Younger folks are more likely to relate as LGBTQ than older folks and in both groups but more so in younger folks being bisexual was why they consider themselves in that group as opposite to just being gay/lesbian/queer.

[Bob Riebe]

5.5 percent are of the queer iive persuasion according to the William Institute.

[Graybeard]

That's prolly not that far off that 10% I think I recall in the article I read when you toss in the folks who say they are bisexual along with those who are gay/lesbian/queer.

I guess I don't really understand the differences in those terms. I know gay is more used to define men but to me lesbians are also gay. I honestly don't understand what the term queer means today. I know what it meant when I was a young guy but these days I suspect it doesn't mean the same cuz some women claim to be queer.

Does where you stick the gas nozzle matter in today's meaning?

I guess I really don't much care or I'd have googled it. I also don't care what they do to each other behind closed doors. I do resent having to see them doing it however.
