Re: LIBERAL FASCISM IS HERE: IGNORANT FAKE NEWS
When Republicans are getting upset about freedom of the press,
No Republicans are upset about freedom of the press but we're all very much upset about the lack of freedom of the press, or in Mark Levin's book title, Unfreedom of the Press, which is what we have today, nothing but Leftist opinion masquerading as journalism. Huge fraud on the American people.
calling for political opponents to be jailed on dubious grounds
No idea what this refers to but I'm very sure if any such calling for the jailing of leftists is going on it's not for dubious but very legitimate reasons. Unbelievable criminal behavior what the Democrats have been doing against our duly elected President for instance.
and flirting with White Supremacists
One of the unconscionable false accusations by the Left.

Re: Climate Issues - The 5 corrupt pillars of climate denial
4. Political denial
Climate change deniers argue we cannot take action because other countries are not taking action. But not all countries are equally guilty of causing current climate change. For example, 25% of the human-produced CO in the atmosphere is generated by the US, another 22% is produced by the EU. Africa produces just under 5%.
I'm not allowed to call this a pack of lles, am I? But that's what it is. "Other countries?" No, SPECIFIC counries, such as China and India, which are major polluters. THEY are the ones that need to do something. And the other big fat lle is presenting this information PER CAPITA. So the US looks like a big polluter and China doesn't. Now THAT IS a big fat political LlE. This should be measured in terms of the percentage of actual contribution to the problem by nation and by that standard we've done our part but China and India and others have not.

We've done a LOT over the years, our own environment is quite clean. Sorry, it's China's turn and India's.

Re: Climate Issues - The 5 corrupt pillars of climate denial
It is a huge cost to the economy to do what the Left requires of us and there is no need since we've already done lots for the environment and continue to do it. We have no reason to sacrifice our economy for the Left's political ends (which are clearly aimed at destroying America by whatever means possible). Go bug China.

Marc is pretty conscientious about responding, but he is often kept away from the forum by work. Give him time, he'll probably be back to answer the point.

Re: LIBERAL FASCISM IS HERE: IGNORANT FAKE NEWS
I never noticed that. Is that why Faith is making the opposite but nonsensical claim that liberalism is fascist?
I got the term "Liberal Fascism" from Reagan and many other conservatives, as the best way to characterize what we are seeing on the Left, in the Democratic Party, these days. There's no better word for the kind of tyrannical totalitarianism they are trying to impose on the country, and have whenever they've had the power to do so. "Fascism" is just the best way to characterize that, and there is really nothing at all comparable to that on the conservative side. As Marc spells out, conservativism is for individualism and personal freedoms, which the Left most certainly is not.
Fascism has a specific definition.
Which is why we talk about "LIBERAL" fascism, to show that we have a different angle on it.
Conservatives are not fascists. But it is fair to give voice to fears about Trump's authoritarian impulses and inclinations.
Which must be qualities hallucinated by the Left since conservatives see nothing of the sort in him.
Trump's ruthless attacks on any who displease him
Which I suppose refers to what we on the right regard as his just defensive retorts to the ruthless attacks on him personally and on all his supporters by the Left. So typical that what is a necessary defense against the unjust attacks on him is turned into an attack.
...no idea what the rest of your post refers to.

Re: Fascism, Nationalism, and The Left & Right Strategies
Trump is the one great gift of God in decades. If any of the Dem candidates wins we are certainly going down under dictatorship and debt. Fast.

Re: Fascism, Nationalism, and The Left & Right Strategies
The Dems have been trying to stage a coup for the last three years. If they succeed we're going down under dictatorship and debt. As soon as we get another Democrat in office we can look forward to that anyway.

Re: Trump Lies Again
Of course the people of Iran do not love America, and especially not just after we assassinated a beloved general and ramped up sanctions again.
You're getting the wrong news as usual. Fake News. I've been hearing for days about the Iranians protesting against their own government for the attack on the Ukrainian airliner, and yes, thanking Trump for taking out the terrorist they all hated.

Re: Trump Lies Yet Again
I wonder what will happen if and when you find out you've been believing the fake news about Trump as so many others are. It's certainly scary from where I sit to see so many hating him for doing good things that if any other President had done them would have been lauded by your side. I can only hope and pray that the truth will come out. I know you believe you are the one with the truth.
How do you know which of those photos is the altered one or who did it and why does it matter anyway?
Anyway, I just heard the same report again, this time on Townhall Review.com hosted by Hugh Hewitt, but I can't find the story online. May be my own fault, eyes or other reasons. There is reporting about its being a good thing that Soleimani was taken out, but I can't find the stuff about the Iranian protests against the government. Unfortunately you all trust Google to be giving the true news and I certainly have no way to prove you wrong.

Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
Googled for information about how Trump's tweet in support of the Iranian protestors, which he'd written in Farsi, was greatly "liked" in Iran, and finally found it. As usual I had to wade through all the irrelevant leftist stuff which said nothing at all about his tweets being liked in Iran although that was what I was searching on. Amazing how this obvious censorship of the conservative point of view gets rationalized away here. Anyway I found it in the Washington Examiner:
President Trump's tweet in Farsi expressing support for Iranians protesting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has already earned over 200,000 likes, making it the "most liked Persian tweet" in the social media giant's history, according to a leading think tank adviser.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
Twitter is apparently not completely blocked in Iran because I just heard an Iranian American woman, Erica Kasraie, talking about how Trump's tweet in Farsi in support of the Iranian people WAS either "liked" or retweeted, I missed the word, to the greatest level ever by Iranians.
Of course you'll all find something about her to hate or dismiss because of what she has to say. She also made a You Tube video about how Solameini was NOT loved in Iran by Iranians in general. It's only five minutes long but you can get the gist of it within the first couple of minutes I think. Or start at 1:30.

Erica Kasraie's followup video
And here is her followup video after the earlier one went viral. Hey she thinks Trump did the right thing and she thanks him, reason enough for you all to hate her of course:

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
All the details are utterly irrelevant to the simple fact that both Erica Kasraie and the Washington Examiner report that the number of positive responses to Trump's message of support to the Iranian protestors was the biggest number ever. Yes we know there are plenty of Trump haters there too, though how many there are wouldn't be easily known because they are under the gun of the government, but the "biggest number ever" still means that if all who could do so did give their positive response it would be even bigger than it was.
Trump deserved credit from US for what he did; at least he got some credit from some of the Iranian people. How many this and how many that is just a distraction from that simple fact. Trump often deserves credit he never gets. Often. And you obviously don't want to give him any now either. But I thank Erica Kasraie for her fairness.
