    Fair enough Judo. We have conman everywhere in every stripes. The big question we’re trying to settle here is Mr Trump a racist?
    I believe he is a showman with a big personality to match. He’s no worse or better than you and I when it comes to biases. I’ve heard of him even way back in the 70s while I was a kid. He may have been on the news for a myriad of different things over the years but being a racist or a bigot was not one of them

    I was at a Klitschko v Mercer fight at his hotel the Taj Mahal back in 2002. His name was introduced to the crowd and he’s got a standing ovation. Everyone in that place loved the Donald on that night.

    So I asked again what changed in the Orange man, that he became a racist overnight and you could not wear his MAGA hat down the street without the possibility of being assaulted?

    People wear MAGA hats all the time up here in Massachusetts. It seams like MAGA cultists have something to prove in blue states and are far more visually and vocally expressive of their support for said politican. I hardly ever see a Biden sign post up here. I see plenty of Trump sign posts, hata and flags. No assaults though.

    Lots of people loved Harvey Weinstein too until it was clear he was a rapist. I'm not sure what proof of anything this is. I'm under no illusion that the democrats are saints either. I'm very well aware of how close he was with the Clintons, which just goes to show how wacked out everything is. We've got a lifelong democrat pushing traditionally democrat protectionist ideology being voted into office by conservatives lol. He just went super old school democrat to the clan days the minute a black man was president. He's also not taking down any establishment, he's looking out for himself but keep eating that line of chet if it makes you feel better. Bottom line, this guy is bad for the country. Selectively choosing what states to help when they're in crisis based on whether they're red or blue and you can come in here with a straight face like you're on the right side of this. lol

    Edmund Burke is the considered the father of conservative thought. I said the author you cited was biased and lo he is. Apparently my instantaneous judgment was spot on and supported by the evidence provided.

    All you're doing here is further proving that you cite biased sources.

    To be blunt I find that rather surprising from someone who likes Bertrand Russell. Russell considered himself a Socialist and was against Nationalism.

    On a side note I'm actually interested in Edmund Burke. I'm not enough of a fan boy to join the Edmund Burke Society but I do think Edmund Burke is very applicable to the current political situation. I don't think he would approve of Trump.

    Ok brah, nice little rant. I’ve been called racist in here by p*****s who do not know me from Adam, so that little word means nothing to me because I’m part Navaho. The racist word is nothing but a used up tool from the left to try to control the narrative.

    If you want to find true racists, you would want to dig into your party sinful pasts and presents. I would guarantee you, what you may have unearthed would blow your mind, if you are a fair minded person who seeks the truth.

    As I said earlier I don't believe Trump is a racist in that he hates people just because of their skin color I believe class to him is a bigger factor. Again that doesn't make it any better in my opinion.

    I never was a fan of the Apprentice and partly that was because of Trump. I agree that becoming President is far more prominent than being a reality TV show host, pitchman or tabloid figure. My own guess is that a lot of the people that don't like Trump probably didn't really care that much about him before. It would be like Whoopi Goldberg became President. She is popular and has a following but there are a lot of people who don't like her and I imagine if she became President there would be many many more who don't like her.

    For the record I don't approve of assaulting someone for wearing a MAGA hat or even getting someone's face for it.

    Funny side story. when wearing my red Rockets' hat I've had people think it was a MAGA hat. I had coworker give me a disgusted look once when I came into the officer wearing it and then when she saw it was a Rockets' hat relaxed and she said "Oh I thought that was a MAGA hat.."

    I really don't understand your complaint. It is as if you are suggesting that conservative sources are "biased sources" and that non-conservative or liberal sources are not biased. I am pretty sure this cannot be what you mean, but that is what it sounds like.

    this sounds like you are again making assumptions about ME based on things that I post rather than simply reading the things that I post and evaluating those posts on their own merits.

    I'm happy to hear that. Trump is not really a conservative, but more like a Democrat in wolf's clothing. I imagine that's why he pisses some Democrats off so much.

    He'll take anybody's vote no doubt. It's what he gives them in return that matters. If ya ain't putting money in my pocket to hell with you and your radical leftists social programs. If you throw me lots and lots of campaign donations I have a job for you in the White House. No experience, no problemo. Look at me!!

    And this proves you don't care how?

    The fact that you even posted those things that have nothing to do with each other shows that you care what people think.

    Oh the irony.

    You should ask that question yourself.

    He is expecting you to debate the merits of the article you posted.

    You're right - it's not race baiting. The correct term for branding others as racist escapes me for the moment but it is what you're doing.
    You wouldn't want someone doing it to you now would you...

    So are you saying he is a racist? I did not see that clearly on your post? All the other stuff about Mr Trump, I’m ok with it. Mr Trump is a president and a big boy, he should be able to take all the criticisms fairly or unfairly, it goes with job. We should always be critical and leery of our leaders, the founding fathers always knew this and that’s why we have the 2nd amendment.

    Were you a fan of Mr Obama?

    if i said or did any of the following then i would be racist.

    1) saying that an american-born federal judge cant do their job properly b/c of their ethnicity is the definition of racism.
    2) calling mexican immigrants rapists and drug dealers is racist.
    3) saying neo-nazis who chant "jews will not replace us" are "very fine people"
    4) calling for death penalty for central park 5, even after they were exonerated
    5) calling for a ban of muslims entering the united states
    6) attacking a gold star mother and saying that she was not allowed to speak b/c she was muslim
    7) discriminatory housing practices in his properties.
    8) making a slur about native americans right to the face of a native american WWII vet.
    9) birtherism
    10) "We've just seen many, many crimes getting worse all the time, and as Maine knows — a major destination for Somali refugees — right, am I right?" - August 2016
    11) "the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our cities is committed by blacks and Hispanics,"
    12) falsely claimed that 81% of murders against whites are committed by blacks

    What is the barometer of what is and isn't racist?

    If you want me to point to a video where he says ching chong spic ****** I can't meet your criteria.
