What are your thoughts on this perspective?

I think the guy framed it pretty well, as I understand things.

You might want to read the comments as well, some really good ones without too much name calling that seems all too common anymore.

Lots of sensible things in it.
But, several things, that show, how, Sided, it really was.

“… But we must elect someone infinitely better prepared than Carson. …”
WHAT, Obama Was ???????????

Two Sentences, about, Democrats, ‘re-thinking’, the Refugee thing.
Yet,  Pages and Statements from leading Democrats, left out ??????

" … there’s no common-sense reason to believe that a terrorist is as likely to enter the United States amid those screened refugees as by crossing the Mexican border,  …”

So this is the Logic: Your on a ship, it is sinking because it has a hole in it. So to remedy that, you make a, Bigger Hole, so the ship, sinks Faster. ??????

“ … ISIS isn’t about a finite pantheon of ruthless puppeteers. It’s about a region in violent disarray, …”

Wait, “ … a region in violent disarray …”.  Did something change?
Haven’t we been told, over and over and over again, it is  NOT, the, ‘religion’, it is  just a few ‘extremists’.  ?????

And in one statement; “ … From Obama we needed fire. Instead we got embers,  …”
Yet in another statement; “ … less rash and cavalier than Trump …”
Exactly,, which is it, the writer believes ?????

Yes, their was good points.
But their was ALSO, a  LOT of Garbage, AND,  the writer, DOING, exactly, what HE, said should not be done: “ …How much more garbage and nonsense do Trump and Carson have to spew before the people supporting them wake up, grow up …”


The best statements were;  “ … This wasn’t the time for catcalls, from either party. This isn’t the time. …”
and
“ … WE lose the war against ISIS if we don’t get serious about our presidential candidates. …”

Carson can't read. The Constitution is beyond his simplest abilities to grasp the concept of individual freedom. He believes that it's reasonable to force people to be vaccinated. That is a well dressed, gentle voiced, tyrant.

The holes in the rationale of the article Mn.Spring points out are enough to keep me from wasting my time.

Qualified,,, Ha!!! I don't see one, anywhere. I'm just hunting for the least disastrous,, but, in spite of everything, I said when bammy was elected, Hillary is next. I don't see why that is not still possible.

I don't know who Jolson is.
I'm daily exposed to words that grate on my guts. If my allusion to the illustrious president has rankled your nerves, understand that is not my goal, but simply an expression of MY feelings.
Inasmuch as this Is America and to date, we do still have a first amendment, folks can be prepared to see me refer to him in various ways. Sometimes, I say it properly, sometimes, no. And , until I see evidence that the healthcare system is Constitutional and beneficial it will continue to be seen as and referred to as Bamicare.

Probably not... nor SS, OR Fed reserve, tons of stuff need to be reconsidered.
I don't see it working out. The debt, the corporate tentacles, the power IKE was trying to warn us about, the global economic situation, I hope I'm wrong, but the future I see isn't okay.

That Medicare is likely not constitutional isn't reason to create another problem.
I don't know what process went into passing Medicare and Medicaid, but, I doubt seriously they're actually constitutional.

But,... since it's already here, and almost universally liked by everyone that uses it,...
What if we just let everyone have it?...
That way,.. even the people currently paying for it, would get it,.. as well as those who have worked for it and retired...

No more mandates,.. no more confusion over plans,.. no more fines or penalties,... and no more dropping coverage...

Just Medicare... for everyone...



I have friend... his wife has MS...
He has an 80k job with a military supplier with A+ health insurance package... and he is still paying $1,000 to $3,000 a month for care...
My friend is very lucky...

It's beyond silly...
Nobody chooses to be sick...
It's not like everybody wants a Mercedes... Huh...
It's like God gives you a broken Yugo,... and you just want it to run... Undecided...

Life isn't fair...
We don't need to help make it less fair...

JMHO...

'Region' was the word in the article, not 'religion'  Grin

There is an 'Li' missing somewhere, has someone forgotten to take their Lithium today?

.............................................................

Not really. You have a ship with 2 similarly sized holes in it, and the chances are that they let water in at the same rate.
If an undesired H20 terrorist molecule leaks in, then it is equally likely to come through either hole.

Perfect logic. Why question it?
