Re: Nomination for most ironic post of the thread
I'm not out to prove he's evil the way people here are. You don't know his reason for saying that and neither do I. I didn't even know he said it until now, but thanks to your determined push to vilify the leading Republican now I do. Maybe he thinks it might work anyway. I don't even care if it's revenge though. WHY DO YOU CARE? Cuz the left just loves treating our enemies as little innocents, and the people who want to try to secure the country are the evil people. That is perfect Leftism, a form of PC that came into vogue in the sixties. I also don't see what's so horrible about the story about the pig's blood on the bullets. Good grief the Left has all its priorities upside down and backwards.

Lot of people out there that could help him. (there was only one whose coat was taken away it turns out, and it's not even certain that one was. I wouldn't cry if a few dozen lost their coats. It's VERMONT, not Siberia, there are other buildings around, there are cars parked near enough, probably those of the coat-deprived, and other people who would help. Lots of them. If you run to your car you'll warm up pretty fast. Or the bus they shared, even closer. And most likely not a single person was deprived of his coat anyway.
Brown shirts indeed. When they start slapping people around and breaking windows, let me know, but this story is pathetic.

The issue is what Trump said and how people like you react to what Trump said; and frankly it's pretty scary.

Are you guessing at my motives here? If so, then please stop complaining when I guess at yours.
Regardless of the importance of what Trump says, this is a discussion thread about the primaries and what the candidates say is on topic regardless of whether it is earthshaking. I find it of interest that Trump says horrific things and gets cheers from wildly enthusiastic crowds. I find it interesting that you jump out to defend him with the particular tactics that you use.
Trump said that he would do waterboard even if it did not work. You've seemingly already agreed that we should not waterboard if it does not work. Yet you defend the statements anyway.

I've already decided that an accusation of leftism from you isn't much of an indictment. If there were any doubt about that, you've pretty much removed it today. Apparently by your standards, nearly all of the republican candidates is either a wimp or a lefty.

Re: Nomination for most ironic post of the thread
What I say about Trump's policies has nothing to do with what I would do personally. I'm to love my enemies. That doesn't mean pretending they aren't enemies. But Trump's motives are his own busuiness, not yours, and it's slimy of you to impute them to me.
You people need to listen to yourselves. All you do is try to find someone in a fault of some kind. Setting snares for people. Catching people out,. You're disgusting.
No, there's nothing you have to guess at about leftists treating enemies as innocents, it's standard operating procedure on the left. All sympathy goes to whatever isn't American, that started with the Cultural Marxists and yes I know their motives too, and is now solidly embedded in the left which lives by PC.
And when I said PC is about motives it was my attempt to get across what PC is, but obviously you aren't interested, all you want to do is find everything I say wrong. PC is a particular thing and I don't do PC. Perhaps you need to read the essay to find out what it means since my efforts have been futile. Of course you won't.

I didn't do any of that. I don't know why you do what you do, but I'd like to know.
And sorry, but Trump is a public figure running for the highest office. His motives and intentions are discussion worthy, and they are on topic here. I'm going to do my best to decide what kind of man Trump is, and that means paying attention to what he says and does. You need not read my comments if you find the discussion unpalatable.
Besides that, why are you giving me advice that you yourself never follow.

Time Out Time to Announce Results
Please pardon this interruption in the ongoing drama.
Trump has won the SC primary by around 33% compared to Cruz and Rubio at around 23%.
Clinton tops Sanders 52- 48, guess those chains have to be released gradually lest the victim suffer too much shock.
Bush is out as royal prerogative only appeals to democrats this season.
Now back to the Faith show.

No Bush
Bush 3, The Heir Apparent, apparently isn't.
After spending heavily in So. Carolina, then running out of funds in the final week, he has folded his campaign.

Moderator Ruling
Yesterday there was a Republican primary in South Carolina and a Democratic caucus in Nevada. In this thread about the primaries and caucuses leading up to the nominating conventions one would expect more than just one person to express an interest (Anglagard above in Message 881).
As I said earlier, digressions are fine, but not to the point where they dominate discussion. It would be better if someone would open a thread on PC, but whether or not that happens I will rule that the casting of accusations as if they settled any points of contention should cease. If someone is wrong it is not because they are rightist or PC. Please find more substantive arguments.
