I remember staying up all night as the votes trickled in and calling my family and friends in the middle of the night to celebrate when he won. Good days then and more to come. Happy St. Paddy's! |

To: RetiredNow who wrote (30205) | 3/17/2019 10:45:04 AM | From: GROUND ZERO™ | | | Your comments and insights in your post are truly brilliant and most insightful as well as educational for anyone who reads it, your post is so directly to the point and illustrates so clearly the destructive foolishness of those who act in any way to suppress free speech no matter who is doing the suppressing... I thank you for your truly lucid post, it's really more of an intelligently written essay on the importance of free speech...
If you were in the room with the founding fathers and you stood up and spoke your comments, then I would believe that John Hancock himself would get up out of his seat, walk across the room over to you and shake your hand as a true American and genuine American patriot...
I noticed that the fool on the fake Donald Trump thread now says I'm having a "melt down," I find that a projection of her own bizarre meltdown as well as an illustration of the shallowness of her understanding of anything whatsoever... on the contrary I'm having an enlightenment that there may very well be many people on her forum who also think her third world nation dictatorship mentality is 100% inappropriate but they are too afraid to speak up out of fear they may be next...
Those who lived under castro's rule celebrated his death... those who did not live under castro's rule mourned his death...
All of us are now witnessing the same phenomenon all over again...
Those on her thread who have just witnessed the suppression of free speech and still continue posting there have lost their dignity and sense of freedom, they know it but have surrendered to the fear of being singled out next... exactly, just like the slow boiling of the frog, the frog never notices anything until it's already too late... those who see her foolish folly and still post there are frogs in that water...
Sure, any thread moderator can conjure up any thread rules they want, but to accept the termination of your freedom of expression in order to continue posting there is submitting to a tyrannical lunatic no matter what kind of fake lip service they offer as a supporter of the American spirit... they've blinded themselves out of fear of being singled out next...
I fully agree, and this is why the right to freedom of expression is at the top of the list, we lose that right and we lose it all...
Sadly, learning the lesson of history seems misplaced... it takes about 75 years for people to forget completely what they already learned the hard way once before... and this 75 year cycle has repeated itself for many hundreds of years...
In hopes that more people will read and study and digest your comments, I'm going to feature your posted comments as an essay in the value of free speech, I hope everyone will read it and also study it, I think you have nailed it superbly and I consider it a gift that you shared your voice to be heard on this forum...

This essay is an impromptu post written by mindmeld, a fellow poster on the forum... I find his words and insights highly significant and relevant to today's current events issues that we all witness and experience daily... I thought it was worthy of reading...

To: GROUND ZERO™ who wrote (30218) | 3/17/2019 1:59:33 PM | From: RetiredNow | | | Thank you. I appreciate your comments. There will be reactionary vitriol from my post, though, and collateral damage. People who get called out for their complicity with Dictators usually react with hysterics and bile. However, I'm more than used to it, since I have spent years posting and debating with lefties. So to them I always say, "bring it on." |

To: Carolyn who wrote (30210) | 3/17/2019 2:44:45 PM | From: GROUND ZERO™ | | | Absolutely, a second term... and my bet is he'll win with an even bigger landslide, right now the lunatic left is making a lot of noise but none of mainstream America is buying any of it...
If those lunatics thought the 2016 results were shocking, then they're in for a much bigger jolt in 2020...
As I see it, as the lunatic left candidates compete with each other about how far left they can go, it only makes it that much easier for Donald to win again...
As offensive as those lunatics are, I do find them both comical and pitiful... the only ones who buy their crap is the media who are nothing more than cheerleaders for the looniest of the loony...
