@revelette2,
I don't know why you roll your eyes. It's a fact.

May 61.

Well dear, I'm sad that you refuse to face the truth about this issue. (lol) I really think you are dodging answering because you also haven't happened upon a major character failing of Bernie. I mean, we both know he's human and he has to have some moderately-sized flaw, but although I've been wincing, waiting for that shoe to fall - I haven't seen anything yet. I don't think you have either.

If you ever change your mind, and decide to take me up on this conversation, let me elucidate what type of flaw I'm talking about:

Notice how I never criticize Hillary's appearance in any serious way, (I think I did have a go at pantsuits during the la
st election - but everyone else was doing that). Anyway, when people talk about her face or expressions, I feel it's sexist. She looks like what women her age are supposed to look like. I never call her a bitch because to me, that's a lame sexist attack, too.

The reason I bring this up is because people on this forum have actually alluded that Bernie is too old to be exciting for voters or that his old man finger-poking stump speech is boring. (!!!)

My criticisms of HRC center on her lies, lack of trustworthiness, her greed, the fact that she's sold out her influence for money to those who use it to assault this country, her flip-flopping for political gain,.. These things to me are fair game. She also planned with her husband to get in on the ground floor with the prison-for-profit industry, she supported DOMA, she is behind TPP... Satan couldn't be worse for the country. (Have you ever seen Satan and Hillary at the same time...?)

So anyway. These are serious faults to me that relate to how a person would use the office of president.

Yes, Bernie's gruff, he doesn't worry about his hair, I think he fathered a child without being married, he smacks down reporters when they veer into territory Bernie considers none of their business, he's Jewish, he's identifies as a Democratic Socialist, he disrespects Capitalism, he's soft on BLM.

These are the worst things I've heard said about him. I fully support every one of them.

If you know of a moderately severe character flaw that comes close to one of Hillary's, and it's factual, I will acknowledge it.

It seems to me the only reason you don't offer a substantive failing of the Bern is because you don't know one yet; however, I have enjoyed more than you can possibly know this period of having non-aggro dialogue with you, so if we stop here, fine. I guess I've thoroughly explained my opinion on the matter. Wink


I said I don't find fault with Bernie morally. I repeated a couple of times that I find weakness with him as a candidate. I'm pretty sure you read and understood that, but you come back with a response that tries to frame it like "Snood can't admit he can't find character deficiencies. " That's disingenuous. I see things about Bernie that would make him a weaker candidate than Clinton, in my opinion. And I'm still not getting into a back and forth with you about whether those weaknesses exist. I think you can't be reasoned with about Bernie.

And I enjoy talking to you without taking shots at each other, as well.

@Lash,
I roll my eyes because like the Holocaust, the Spector of Vietnam is so overused in debates it has lost it's meaning for that purpose.

Funny...someone (not Lash) earlier used the "it will make Vietnam look like a cakewalk"...and my reaction was: Jeez, Vietnam has become so cliche'd.

@revelette2,
Not to me it doesn't.

My father was the first person I new against us in Vietnam, and that was early, circa '62; I am not remembering exactly, but near then. Way before magazines with opinions, or tv news.

@ossobuco,
Anyway, I think early decisions are very relevant.


I can hear sucking sounds.

On the other hand, I've no bright ideas of my own on how to fix all of this mishugas. That, I take it, is a yiddish word. I'm your average apostate, but I like that word.

There is a pretty good argument making the rounds that has it that the federal government has gotten so big/powerful/complex/corrupt that it is unmanageable. This is a subject that we as a nation are going to have to take up. We dont want to end up like the Soviets, and for the same reason, we cant refuse to learn those lessons.

@revelette2,
I question how big of a threat they represent to the US or to any nation in world outside of the ME. What threat do you see for the US? No ISIS Navy, no ISIS Air Force. Very little and fairly light artillery.

@bobsal u1553115,
From the little I have gathered so far, they don't really have to have all those things. They seem operate by the internet asking their followers to use any means necessary to kill "infidels" in what ever country they are in. Much more dangerous that way when you think about it.

Here is an example from the link I left earlier and will again.

Quote:
To take one example: In September, Sheikh Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, the Islamic State’s chief spokesman, called on Muslims in Western countries such as France and Canada to find an infidel and “smash his head with a rock,” poison him, run him over with a car, or “destroy his crops.” To Western ears, the biblical-sounding punishments—the stoning and crop destruction—juxtaposed strangely with his more modern-sounding call to vehicular homicide. (As if to show that he could terrorize by imagery alone, Adnani also referred to Secretary of State John Kerry as an “uncircumcised geezer.”)


Apparently the ISIS believes in the end of days and they aim to bring it about. In other words, these terrorist do not want a political goal (such getting troops out of Saudi Arabia) or their homeland (Israel/Palestine) but they think the end of days are coming and they are going to bring it about by doing whatever they can to Westerners in whatever place they are with whatever way or weapons they manage to get or use. So we are in danger from ISIS the same as countries in the ME and such places.

I have to say, dear, very sincerely, that we forget the reality of the Holocaust and Vietnam at our peril.

Me, I think it just one, a slippery one.

I think assuredness is shakey.

I'd rather much of the world not hate us.

@Lash,
Don't call us dear, or I'll boil the soup. Why are using dear as some manipulative call?
I'm interested in politics, ok, but I hate manipulation more.

On Hillary Clinton, that is a good part of why I can't stand her, as she shifts. But the shifts, we'll see.

Made me laugh, and I'll shut up now.





I happen to like both of you, but who could ever tell.

I was sincere in both my uses. I guess you noticed I didn't use it talking to you. Can't imagine the reason for your response.

@Lash,
hard to tell as you keep using it, sort of smacky.


Well, most political discussion here devolves in conversation. It makes me impatient. But I'm not much better at it. Still, try not to demean people by dotingly calling them "dear", unless you genuinely mean that.
