    Yes they are.

        Seriously, could "there" have "been" any more "random" "words" that were quoted "for emphasis" in that article?

          Dude, it's not a crime. At least not here. I think in Britain they might still have some sort of criminal defamation laws, but they simply don't here.

          And again, because both the article he linked, and the post itself were written and not spoken, they aren't even slander. Try to keep up.

          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

            Dude...you need to realize who I am talking to and what I am trying to do to him/her/bot. Methinks you take this message board waaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously. (I was pre-law, I actually know the difference FWIW)

            But here, just for you because apparently you need someone to hold your hand...Frauddy is a troll. If you get him going, he tends to go off the Alex Jones cliff and posts stuff even Jones thinks is wacko. If you troll him just the right way it can be hours of fun for all of us who have an IQ over 12 and unites us in our mocking of him. (deplorables and bourgeoisie)

            Now please, unwind you underwear and lighten up Francis this isnt life and death

              IMO, no person is ever irredeemable. But that might be the Baltimore Catechism speaking.

              Beliefs are deplorable. People? Like Francis, who am I to judge?

              But if we can steer away from the semantics of salvation, there are certainly a large number of followers of Trump who I would not allow into my home. I think it is the largest such percentage of any significant candidate since George Wallace. And I believe as good citizens those of us who revile the beliefs Trump is playing to have a civic duty to oppose his campaign and avoid people who espouse those beliefs taking power.

              That's very easy for me to say, though, because it aligns with my partisan interest. The true heroes of this election will be Republican party loyalists and conservatives of conscience who are #nevertrump.

                I had a genuinely frightening thought this morning. What if through some quirk of circumstances Donald Trump were actually elected to be the president of the U.S.? (I know, I know, but just "what if"?) Where would that leave us as a species?

                    But as I've read, Groucho in "Duck Soup" might be the best we can hope for.

                              Fail Safe is the real thing -- along with Strangelove the best two cold war movies ever made (strange that such a significant theme did not produce better movies).
