    I've always enjoyed butting-in to leftists' conversation to say "I
    can't support a Democrat because my dad served in the military."

    Now, with all this "Starve the military" crap that Democrats are doing,
    it puts even more meaning into it when I say that phrase.

    My stand is usually "I can't support a Democrat because I can think for myself and I PAY taxes."

    The mistake we're both making is we're giving them things to think about but they're incapable of thinking. We need to say to them through a television broadcast.

    Especially now. The "Democrat" brand is toxic.


    You neither right or left and so blind that you
    can not see the truth. Both sides are to blame and
    the GOP are wacky that some of them sound like
    they got released from a mental hospital.

    Ya, but that won't happen.

    I thought just flashed through my head: In the Lord of the Rings, when Sauron is defeated, the Orcs didn't have anyone to control them, so they just wandered around, etc.

    Imagine what the Leftists would be like if deprived of their TV and social media for more than a day. :)

    It would be weird for them and enjoyable for me. "How's your day going?" would be a tough question for them to answer.

    It certainly would. They aren't used to thinking.
