Anyone else, besides me, think that the Democratic debates are on a far more intellectual level than those of the Republicans?  ;D

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Read: "I have no idea what they're talking about."

It's really sad that's the mentality.

The entire right's platform is based on fear-mongering.

Holy hell!

Trump is no different than any other politician; except he has no political experience to carry around.

His popularity is a clear validation of the fact our government and big business are one and the same today. For one purpose and one purpose only; PROFIT on the backs of the lower class. . .  :mad:
