If you watched Tucker last night he outlined what would happen if Dems won the House, Senate and White House this election.  Open borders and the right to vote for all illegals which would mean no Republican party in the future which in short means a dictatorship.  It was depressing so I turned to Laverne and Shirley.  

....and Biden, what kind of a moron running for president promises to raise taxes and then taunts you with "most of you probably aren't going to like that."  Hey man, higher taxes and open borders, we're gonna love all this.  What else ya got?  Oh yeah, no comment whatsoever on defunding law enforcement.  We don't want that either.

that won't stop it with out a lot of other things happening. 

He's tried for 4 years to do things and has been stone walled at every turn. 

If the GOP does not grow a set and back him up, even when it's uncomfortable it will not make a hill of beans if he's re-elected 

I disagree that he's not doing anything. It just hasn't hit the mainstream.....yet. 

But you are right about the GOP members. Some are RINO's and the few that have some courage are helping. But there are too many that have no courage at all.  

After 35 years of marriage I’ve learned when my wife gets her gander up, its wise to stand down. 

I agree with her, we must be better than the people we criticize.  That's what is wrong with this country and this world.  We will never rid ourselves of the disagreements, but we have lost our ability to respect each others differences.  And it starts at the top.

You must show respect, to get respect.  A leader - has to take the lead - and be a peacemaker, not a name caller.  JMO.  On the other hand, I'll take actions over a great communicator.  Action talks, bull**** walks.

Getting both would be nice.

how does one get their gander up? 

In the last election I remember that some restuarants had signs that said no political talk allowed bc of fights breaking out!  i never understood people getting so heated over elections....til now!!!! I am sad that I am one of the ones that didnt understand why people get so upset! 

But I get it now!!! I too am catching myself in the division!  Tho I try not to but it is there. 

I look at my co-workers and wonder will you stand up and fight for America when the time comes??? Do you believe that all this evil is ok???

Tell you what, Gail. I'll drop the "snowflakes".....the rest is a no deal.  There are Marxists, Antifa, anarchists, Progressives-Liberals.  That's exactly what they are.

We are in the fight of our lives....FOR our lives. 

Those are the old rules.  That doesn't apply. 

Does this look like respect? 

No.  But that's what is missing.  There is no respect.  It's gone.  You can't have an intelligent and useful dialogue without it.

You think the people getting killed by these antifa/BLM hoods didn't RESPECT the looters/rioters and thats why they were killed? Or is the respect they require is to give them everything we own or have worked for?  They get to take our rights away... that's the respect they need?  Tell me what does that respect look like? 

Obviously the people doing the rioting/assaulting are the ones lacking respect   . . .  for anything.

So . . . . where is respect taught?

I thought we were talking about Afghanistan? 

LOL - let's just start another thread and talk about the anarchists and yes those are anarchists!

So without one side having any respect, how does one reason with someone who is unreasonable?  How do you debate someone when there is nothing they can agree on as a starting point.  They hate America. I love it. 

I can't give them the respect they need when the root of the problem is they don't respect themselves. If they did, they wouldn't be killing each other at the rate they are. People who respect themselves don't let others use them. 

Bottomline Dave is that this is not something that can be fixed by talking about it.  We can argue all we want, call names or don't call names It doesn't matter. What's going to save this country is to take their power and money away. To neuter them. Make them pay for their treason. 

Respect is taught amongst family members as in parents and the elders, and you are right Dave, respect is lacking everywhere and its starting to lack on BHW too, We used to have so much fun on here and then supporting each other in a crisis, and its just really sad to see what has happen here, we need to get that respect back on here and stop tearing others down that dont agree on something that someone else thinks is right, I'm quilty of doing that when pushed but now I'm just sitting back and watching, was called out but not going to take that bait. The Rioters are lost souls that didnt have a mom are dad or grandmothers/fathers to show them the way. Respect starts at home and the heart and should be spread among each other. When threads like this gets started I really learned alot about some of the members on here, I'm sure I'll be called out again but this is my opinion about respect.

TRUMP 2020

Except without our own community we can treat each other with civility.  Within our own forum we can at least hear each other out.  So Mecon you came on here and called the majority MOFO's and then you vanish.   That behavior does not warrant respect from anyone.....still waiting for a response Mecon. ?? 

Don't get me wrong.  Without respect, these thugs do what they want.  You are not going to reason with them and they will only respond to the threat to their own safety.  Usually pain gets thru to them pretty quickly and whether they like it or not, ONLY then do they start to respect . . . oops, there's that word again.

its best to stay down hill when a lady like gail iget po   its going to get western
