Just a God fearing American trying to do my best in this sinful world that realizes all people have faults.

Free thinkers really bother you liberals.

You regurgitate things I hear on Brian Kilmeade, Rush, and Hannity daily. Often times word for word... Free thinker alright. Free as in they don't charge you.

How are you a liberal and watch those guys daily?  

My TV has never touched CNN or MSNBC.  Well, except on November 8, 2016.

Born free . . . now expensive.

That's the thing... I'm not a liberal. Seeing through Trump doesn't make a person a leftist socialist member of the mob. I might be in the deep state though... Who knows?

Yeah, I'm not American, so your little labels don't apply to me

Also hilarious how you think you're being smug and clever, but it falls on its face

Assuming someone who is sick of Trump is a looney liberal is pretty outdated by this point.  Though I've argued that Trump was the devil we knew from day 1 until he shows otherwise.  I'd say he did not show otherwise.

Result of an already under-educated generation further mentally degenerating.

It will be a case study for future civilizations.

Brad. You want to re-engage here or art you just planning your next Biden thread?

I wish I had the time to listen to other conservatives.
I've heard good things about those guys.

How much of your take home do you pay towards health care?

I lot more after Obama screwed the working class that got insurance through their job. But that's socialists for you. They think if you vote for something it's ok to do immoral things like steal from people and give to those that have the same opportunities but choose to stay home.

All joking aside, future civilizations will learn squat from the USA's collapse.  All empires run their course and no nation can stay on top forever.

google "Why did the Roman empire fall?"

"The fall of the Roman Empire was caused when there was less loyalty to Rome. The Urban Centers start to collapse. Also the military, political, and Social of Rome was causing Rome to collapse. Another reason of why the Roman Rome collapsed is when the aqueducts were destroyed and some of the public works."


Urban centers collapsing?  Check


Public works destroyed?  Check


Less loyalty to country?  Check




You can talk about uneducated conservatives all you like.  However, I am not impressed with the apparent education of the thousands of "protesters" toppling statues of the founding fathers and burning the cities whose businesses likely foot the bill for their existence to the ground.  


If that is what it means to be an educated progressive, count me amongst the ignorant.

If you look deeper you'll also find that the break down of the nuclear family and rampant homosexuality are very present before the fall of nations. Which is exactly what BLM is pushing. Don't believe me? Read their web site but skip the first few paragraphs where they talk about black victims like Trayvon Martin. They're all about promoting lgbtq agendas and breaking apart the paternal figure in the family. Sadly most people that are supporting them don't even realize that's what they're supporting.

LOL

I was in a very conservative AmVets club and Trump came up in the conversation. 

I said "I've seen through his bullshit since he destroyed the USFL in the mid 80's. It's disturbing that so many people can't see how full of shit he is."

"Oh, you're just pissed because he ruined your precious little sports league. Get over it already."

"No. That's not it at all. I saw that he was a double talking bullshitter AND I'VE SEEN NOTHING IN THE LAST 30 PLUS YEARS TO MAKE ME THINK ANYTHING DIFFERENT. He's a fraud and a con-man."

I don't see myself heading back anytime soon.

Quote:Federal tax rates for 2020
15% on the first $48,535 of taxable income, plus
20.5% on the next $48,534 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over 48,535 up to $97,069), plus
26% on the next $53,404 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over $97,069 up to $150,473), plus
29% on the next $63,895 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over 150,473 up to $214,368), plus
33% of taxable income over $214,368

If not for free healthcare, I probably would have died from cancer, as my family wouldn't have had enough money for my appointments, treatments, surgery and tests.

How much is an MRI, CT Scan, radiation treatment, surgery and a night at hospital, morphine, anesthetic, etc., etc.?

In the States, probably in the tens of thousands. My parents wouldn't have been able to afford it and at the time, there wouldn't have even been enough Equity in the home to take out a second mortgage/ELOC, so there's a good chance I wouldn't be here nowadays.

So yes, even if they take an extra 2 grand a year more in taxes than in the States, I'll take the extra 10-20 years of life, than the money you get from tax savings (if you have any savings).

I have a bad feeling we are going to be losing many Bengal fans on here. It's nearly a certainty 25 percent of the posters on here will not be watching Bengals anymore. Kneeling for the anthem as far as the Bengals go. Its a foregone conclusion at this point. some on here said they were done as fans if they kneel. So sorry when they do you feel the need to no longer support the team anymore.

I deleted it because I looked it up on my own. And you are correct it isn't as much as I thought.
