I'd love to see you balance that budget!

Although I’m independent, I’m often accused here of being a Democrat and other things here. So I will bite.
This is a direct copy and paste from a response to someone a couple of months ago here.

I am pro constitution.

I’m a strong supporter of the second amendment. I also support sensible gun control, mainly in the form of strict background checks and waiting periods. might not solve much. But I’m for that.

I am pro “the right to choose“. But only up to about eight weeks or so. Anything after that should be a medical emergency.

I am a big supporter of the right to protest, unless it involves physical violence or property destruction, or puts another person in danger. Yes I support illegal passive protests. But I also support consequences for those. The violent BLM and January 6 protests were reprehensible.

I support inclusion for LGBTQ. But not to the point of teaching it in school. Not to the point of a biological female or biological male participating in the other gender’s sports. Frankly, I don’t care how a person identifies. doesn’t bother me one bit. But I don’t think a biological male or a female should be allowed in another gender’s restroom. I like the idea of a third unisex bathroom. I’m definitely against gender reassignment for minors. Does it matter to me if an adult does that.

I appreciate that some minority groups are at a disadvantage for various reasons. But I’m also against affirmative action and carve outs.

I am a big supporter of one being able to criticize the government as much as they want. With no repercussions whatsoever, other than from others who express their opinion.

I support mail in ballots. I also support voter ID.

I support universal healthcare.

I support freedom of religion. Any religion. Anything related to religion should not be taught in public schools unless it’s in a history class. And in that case, all major religions should be given equal attention.

I support the right to be rude to LEO without repercussions. But I don’t recommend it.

I am pro LEGAL immigration. I support deportation of illegal immigrants. But not those who have started the process to become legal.

I do think many people on this board confuse DU level Liberal with right leaning moderate who just really hates Donald Trump

This is not the place for reasoned analysis of a complex issue, because the bulk of posters here do not WANT it. They want a Trumpist pep rally in every thread.

Yea I think I got a hundred or so downvotes when I posted memes of Noem killing dogs...

But doesn't that make it more fun?

That said, the better discussions probably involve some combination of ChineseBandit, SFP, NC_Tiger, Rodger, TigerDoc, Jbird etc...

Those are not democrat liberal points

There is no way to get a balanced budget with your wants

And why am I responsible for all of those? Why do you think you can take my money and give it to someone else? Explain

Big fun.

It is hilarious to walk into a room full of Chargers fans and assert that Joe Montana was a better quarterback than Ryan Leaf. Every reasonable person on the planet understands that this is a true statement, but THAT room will lose its mind in the process of defending Leaf, because of the jersey he wore.

Military oversight means some type of audit instead of a blank check as we all know there is alot of waste than can be eliminated. Corps do this to make shareholders and execs happy but painful to some employees.

DOGE imo was too fast and free by grabbing too much data and not knowing what they did/will do with it and didn't find/show enough fraud as expected and no oversight.

Golf for exercise/fun is one thing. Protect POTUS for sure! Saying he wouldn't and then making it a priority and benefiting personally is different.

We live in a centrist country and too far either way only devides us and we must compromise to be great. Like work, sports, family.

The only man in this world that wants you to be better than him is your father. Everyone else wants to beat you down.i wish success to anyone if you try.
