As long as you're looking at Democrats who are done. Id go for JFK.>
I was looking for Democrats who are still living. |
|
| Jan-08-18 | | TheFocus: The Democratic Party has undergone a lot of changes in my lifetime. The Kennedy Democrats were likeable. JFK one of the greatest Presidents ever. The Bill Cinton Democrats were not the same as the Kennedy Democrats. They were still tolerable. Bill was a big old buffoon, but he charmed people. And today? These Obama Democrats are different than the Clinton ones; more hateful, more restrictive of other people's Constitutional, and God given rights. I don't see the Democrats coming back to power in the next twenty years. By that time, if they do, I will probably retire back to the mountains and shut out the world. Too old to care. |

| Jan-09-18 | | Big Pawn: James Damore just filed a class action lawsuit against Google, saying it discriminates against white male conservatives https://www.yahoo.com/news/james-da... Remember this from last year?
<James Damore, a former Google engineer who was fired in August after posting a memo to an internal Google message board arguing that women may not be equally represented in tech because they are biologically less capable of engineering, has filed a class action lawsuit against the company in Santa Clara Superior Court in Northern California.His claims: that Google unfairly discriminates against white men whose political views are unpopular with its executives.> It's about time! The libs have taken political correctness to a puritanical extreme and nothing highlights it like the case of James Damore. |
|
| Jan-09-18 | | diceman: <thegoodanarchist:

Almost makes it seem like a freedom/liberty Democrat is a thing of the past. |

The libs have taken political correctness to a puritanical extreme and nothing highlights it like the case of James Damore.> I have a bachelor's degree in engineering, along with my multiple degrees in physics. In my class there was 1 black girl, 4 or 5 white girls, a few boys from non-white ethnic groups, and the rest were white males, dozens of them. So the reason white males dominate engineering is because white males go to engineering school in large numbers, compared to other demographics. I will leave it open to discussion as to *why* this is so. Damore gave his opinion. Other folks may have other opinions. But any ideas about "institutional racism" or other such nonsense, when it comes to hiring engineers, is just that - nonsense. If more than 85% of the engineering school graduates are white males, and companies are desperate for engineers to fill open jobs, then WTF_ do people think is going to happen??? Hello, McFly! Companies will hire white male engineering grads. It ain't rocket science. |

 | | Troller: Long time no see <Big Pawn>. <You cannot be a Christian and vote for anyone in the Democratic Party.> As a European I am not the best qualified to discuss the topic, but there may be some problem with the statement: If we agree that the Bible is written by humans, and that Christian theology has been developed by humans, then it must stand to reason that both are subject to interpretation. Hence there will be different doctrines of Christianity (indeed there are many) and as such it may be difficult to take a political stand that all Christian doctrines will support. In your list of examples: Whereas the Christian stance on abortion should probably not differ much (it would be difficult to argue pro-abortion theologically), I would think that homosexuality is not so easily dismissed in the same way. Certainly there are Christians who do not see homosexuality as being against their religious views, and there are even homosexuals who define themselves as Christians. To be offended by a "Merry Christmas"-greeting, well that is simply rather lame, although I doubt that this applies to all Democrats :) Of course one can then claim that some self-proclaimed Christians are not "true" Christians, but here we come back to the point of Christianity being an interpretative religion. Islam has the easier task of rolling out a rigid set of values, as the Quran supposedly contains God's actual words - where the Bible is a work of humans and thus not infallible. |

great societies, affordable healthcare,

| Jan-12-18 | | thegoodanarchist: Hi <BP>
Look, I like you. You are straightforward, articulate, funny, honest. But let's get one thing straight.
I MIND IF YOU EMPTY YOUR BLADDER WHILE WE ARE TALKING ON THE PHONE. <Let me just explain why to you for a minute. Are you familiar with a man by the name of Wayne Huizenga?-well yeah I know about him. Do mind if empty my bladder while you’re talking to me? Excuse me?
-Do you mind if I empty my bladder while you’re talking to me? Not at all.
-okay go ahead >
NO, DON'T GO AHEAD. HOLD IT A MINUTE.
I don't want to talk to someone on the phone while he is emptying his bladder. I won't hang up on my brothers, if they do it, but that is the extent of my tolerance. Good day. :) |

| Jan-16-18 | | Big Pawn: Andrew Klavan on Tucker Carlson: "Nothing Scandalizes the Left Like the Truth" https://www.facebook.com/DailyWire/... This is something I've been saying on the rogoff page for a long time, but this man says it better than I do. Andrew Klavan was on Tucker Carlson and you've GOT to see this. 3 minutes. |
|
| Jan-16-18 | | thegoodanarchist: <https://www.facebook.com/DailyWire/...> <BP> Great, GREAT find! Thanks for posting this Klavan interview. Too bad about the British girls getting raped by Pakistanis. Yet our news media seems silent on that newsworthy and horrible crime spree. |

bgitw chessforum |
|
| Jan-16-18 | | Big Pawn: The problem I have, <ohio>, is that I forget which games I liked as the year moves on. I should have started a collection. I looked at your list on the bgitw forum and liked your choices. I forgot some of them, like Chuck's wild king walk. Good stuff. Maybe I should make a new collection called "Best Games 2018" and try to remember to add to it when I see a cool game. |
|
Jan-16-18
 | | OhioChessFan: Review the games linked to at the top of that page and pick a few. Look at the tournament pages for Dortmund, Tata Steel, US Open, etc and see what you find. It's not all that tough. |

 | | Troller: <Big Pawn: <troller>, liberal interpretations of Christianity is not Christianity.> As always a late answer from my side, but is that not a bit too easy for your standards? My whole point was that Christianity allows different interpretations, at least the New Testament. And so how is it that a liberal interpretation is wrong? By the way, I recognize the Democratic type you react against from European politics (the urban, elitist and overly politically correct type). Surely enough we see protest movements against such politicians over here as well; but in a two-party system like in the US, is it legitimate to generalize this "type" to all Democrats? Then you are stuck with the choice between that and Trump, an unhappy situation IMO. It sort of comes down to the official policy of the party, and I must confess I do not follow US politics that much in detail. |
|
| Jan-17-18 | | Big Pawn: <My whole point was that Christianity allows different interpretations, at least the New Testament.> No it doesn’t. The truth does not allow interpretation. So when people “interpret” Christianity (all of it?) what they really do is rationalize their sin, and they call it their version of Christianity. Liberal Christianity is Christianity in name only. |
|
| Jan-17-18 | | Big Pawn: <but in a two-party system like in the US, is it legitimate to generalize this "type" to all Democrats? > Yes. While there are different groups in each party, fundamentally they agree on certain basic positions. Democrats are for abortion, normalizing homosexuality, normalizing cross dressing and all kinds of other things like that. You can’t be a Christian and vote for someone who supports these views. Liberalism is clearly the anti Christian alternative. |
|
| Jan-17-18 | | Big Pawn: <Then you are stuck with the choice between that and Trump, an unhappy situation IMO. > Not at all. I see Trump as a good man, perhaps the best man we’ve had in office in 200 years. Some people wonder if I’m serious when I say that because he speaks crudely, but I see that as a part of his honesty and forthrightness. More importantly, I see him as a man with common sense who is alone in a corrupt government, a corrupt world, bent on doing what is really right, where the enemies of goodness scandalize the truth. We live in a world where liberalism (political correctness) has demonized the truth on all fronts, such that if a man speaks the plain truth, he is made out to be a monster. Trump is the counterpoint to this in that he speaks boldly, unafraid and unwilling to conform to the arbitrary and artificial strictures that are followed so closely by the rest of the openly corrupt politicians everywhere. The biggest problem western society has today is political correctness, which is liberalism. Trump is the hammer that is smashing this evil, oppressive fortress and this is greater than any one policy he can implement as president. |
