This has to be one of the greatest turnarounds of the last few years right? This team was absolute dog shit two months ago, and now looks like they could win the cup the way they’ve been playing the past 5-6 weeks. Unreal.

Social spending is in the top 10% of countries per capita and on a GDP basis and the largest on a dollar for dollar basis.

At some point (probably a long time from now because people are fucking stupid morons dying for an identity) people are going to realize that politics, and the whole media machine surrounding them (CNN MSNBC and Fox News for sure) is just a ploy to divide people and take their money.

Yeah, except abortions are legal, corporate taxes WERE one of the highest in the world, we have the largest social safety net in the world, abortion is legal, gay marriage is legal, we have some of the greatest free speech protections in the world, and yet we are still capitalistic. It’s pretty damn balanced here, and…

You would bet wrong then.  What a stupid comment.

No one lives like a king in prison.

CNN is about as leftist of a major news organization that exists out there. What are you talking about? If you think CNN is centered......I don’t even know.

You Forgot Pulp Fiction....

True, but there has been no country over the last 100 years to produce as many innovations and raise more people out of poverty than the United States. It’s because of the stability of not having one ideology dominate discourse and daily life.

People who don’t see the value of the Electoral College need to consider the probability of the majority being tyranical to the minority. You need minority checks or you end up with things like Nazi Germany. There’s a reason this country has been so successful.....no one maniac or though bubble can take over the…

Oh, man you are really going to trigger them with this one.

The balance of left and right is what keeps society functioning.  Throughout history, places that have adhered strictly to either left or right ideologies were not good places to live.

Plenty of babies everywhere, on both sides.

Yes how dare the US and Canada look after their own interests and not send more money to Cahvez and Mauduro.

They have everything to do with centralized power though, which Socilaism (and Democrats in America) are all about. There are other factors adding to the problems as well, but anyone without an agenda realizes that the centralized nature of that government and the dependency on handouts of the people is a major part…

Everyone becomes more conservative as they get older, it’s happened to boomers, it’s happening to gen x, it’ll happen to Millenials and Gen Z as well. Fact of life.

Yep, she would destroy Trump. If the democrats put up another elite coastal uber liberal they may actually give Trump a chance. Will democrats ever learn to stop ignoring the midwest?

It’s not even pandering to her constituency.  She knows that it’s going to be impossible without a massive tax raise, and 65% of the country is against medicare for all when you have to raise taxes to fund it.

Chicago is quite possibly the most racist city in America. They sell it well as if it isn’t, and people are quiet about it, but those who have lived here long enough know it. Occasionally it bubbles to the surface ....remember the Blackhawks incident? People try their best to hide it, because marketing this place as…

See what you don’t understand is that on the Splinter network of sites, your skin being white automatically means you are racist.  Try to keep up. :)
