LOL, please ignore this, such a stupid thing for me to say, idk what I was thinking, as if animals can’t be on either side already. :doh2:
Please explain your thought process. That is, please explain how you’ve connected wall-building with racism. Also, can you please do this in the context of all border walls around the world?
The many materials from Wikileaks, and various other sources (e.g. interviews), makes it perfectly clear that minorities in the United States are a voting block and nothing more for the Democrats.
I’d like to just address this one claim. It is not a sin to avail yourself of the tax code. It’s not really fair to refer to these deductions as loopholes. He took advantage of the law as it is written. Everyone else in America, including Hillary Clinton, takes advantage of all the deductions they are entitled to. To claim a legal tax deduction to lower your taxes is not a sin nor is it theft. I have middle income clients who use these same types of deductions–if they were not standard, legal deductions we would not claim them. They are used by tens of thousands of taxpayers every year. To claim a deduction or deferal allowed by the tax code is not immoral, nor is it a sin, nor is it theft. The IRS audits taxpayers to make sure they are not claiming deductions they are not allowed to and that they are reporting all the revenue that they receive–I have had clients who upon audit have actually received a refund from the IRS because it was discovered that they missed a deduction they were entitled to as they went through their records to substantiate their deductions to the auditor.
And look how that neck just spun it’s “brains” the other way.
Odd considering the 8 years of Americas’s bleeding heart…
Perhaps you should take a look at your Canadian immigration policy and what is done with illegal immigrants. I don’t see Canada opening the door wide to anyone who wishes to come there, and I don’t see Canada failing to deport those who they find are there illegally. Yet we don’t call you racist or bigoted for that. While I am not in favor of the wall (unless they want to build something like the Great Wall of China that might become a tourist attraction and might be fun to walk)–I don’t see how it’s all that much different from the patchwork of walls and fences we currently have in an attempt to keep people from entering the United States illegally. All the hoopla and recriminations about the wall seem to be much ado about nothing. When did being against illegal immigration (I think you’ll find most Canadians are also against it from what I read) become being anti-immigration? They are not the same thing.
Why would you assume he can have no sympathy simply because he is a man? If a man made a similar claim as this regarding a woman–he’d be tarred and feathered as a sexist or a misogynist.
I believe that actually supporting the murder of millions of people is worse than “appearing to support racism.”
Oh absolutely! Especially the ones with raised trucks and Confederate flags. I think a few rednecks in North Carolina were celebrating the election. I assume it was kind of chilly so their long pointy hoods definitely came in handy.And look how that neck just spun it’s “brains” the other way.
Not sure if you meant redneck as a insult, but if you did, being a redneck is not a bad thing in many people’s mind. It means you put your hesd down and work hard despite the sun beating on your neck and shoulders.
I will assume in charity that you are recognizing those Americans who work hard in Middle America are just as valuabble a part of the country as anyone in an office or anywhere else.
America’s or just the Americans who struggle with hidden racism?
I’m a trump supporter in a red state. I support a secure border. I don’t know any racists though. I guess they are hidden pretty well.
There were some third party candidates that were electable, and that were qualified, from what I saw during the election season.
So, who would you have had us vote for? It was between Clinton and Trump.Nobody else had a chance at all.So as to not derail another thread, I am starting this one. I am Canadian so my country is very much affected by whatever goes on in the states. Our main political concern is the renegotiation of free trade and the impact that will have on our economy.
However, as a Catholic who thinks abortion is wrong, I am amazed that this would be sufficient reason to vote for Trump. He appears to be supporting racism, which IMO is just as sinful. So I really DON"T understand how the simply fact he believes abortion is wrong is justification in letting him get away with his other sins (such as using loopholes to not pay taxes which is theft)
Also, as a woman, I am floored that any women would vote for a man who jokes about sexually assaulting women. That is very concerning to me. How does saving a baby justify assaulting a woman
But from where I am sitting, the saddest part of the whole election was the only thing I ever saw was two people insult each other like immature kids. I can’t remember seeing either one of them on TV explaining their campaign on things like economic policies and providing well researched arguments on how that would benefit the future of America.
It’s like I told everyone at work. I didn’t bother watching the election because if I wanted that kind of drama I would watch the bachelor
NOTE: I don’t watch Canadian elections either
I agree. And Trump is not even racist. He may be a little prejudice (I am not defending him for that) but racist? He hates Mexicans? I am Mexican and I do not think so. He tried to Date Salma Hayek for crying out loud
I disagree. They voted for him because he is not political and is brash and ‘says it like it is’. Remember trump won the primaries too and he was against conservatives.
Nobody has a problem with immigration policies.
