I described myself this way as well, but when it came to my conservative side I always used balanced budgets as a goal and agreeing that the National Debt matters.....Just over the last year it seems not even Conservatives care about those items anymore. 😕 On 12/15/2018 at 9:03 AM, oldtimer said: Has anyone pondered the irony that saying bullshit "negates meaningful discussion" on a forum that owes its existence to the work of a man who pioneered the "bullshit" lapel button? I never met Paul Klipsch but have read his biography and traveled to Hope and Indy to learn about him....That said, I always imagined him having an informed argument after calling out Bullshit, but there are those that seem to use the expression in place of not offering a rebuttal. In that vein it's like telling someone "Yo Mama," in response to 'I think this person is doing a bad job in office."

Both sides overspend, it's just a matter of degree. I had hoped a non-politician would tackle the problem but that doesn't seem to be the case either.

MC39693 Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Back to the OP, as a Canadian I'm not sure what countries I can travel to anymore. I guess I'll keep my low value currency at home, although I consider Napa Valley part of Canada.

If budgetary concerns are a nucleus of your rationale then I suggest you look at who worked across the isle to try and achieve a balanced budget and who was/is in control when the deficit and budget weren't part of the negotiations.

It's part of the "Nightmare on Elm St" string of films, but it's a different street, actually, an Avenue. I think you can figure it out, you're a smart guy.

Team "Trump" isn't exactly what I would consider my side, but I am still enjoying the fact that he beat the odds. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you are/were obsessed with Hillary; always referring to her as qualified and denouncing the thought that there was even a hint of corruption with her, the DNC, FBI and IRS. My "Obsession" is simple, I am in love more than ever with the our voting system and the electorate..... to know that a non-politico can beat a career swamprat (who had everything played to her liking) was a blessing of the highest order, and I will continue to celebrate her loss for many years to come, possibly decades to come.... if I live that long.
