Right now, you're a blue who has at least shown me some ability to be able to relate and understand the rural reds view of things. Now, the purples are much harder to figure out because the purples have values that are similar to the blues. Actually, the blues tend to use our values quite a bit. Of coarse, a purple wouldn't embrace socialism or support those who associate with the term or use the term to advance themselves or agree with the views of those who describe themselves as half Marxists or partisan hacks. No, the purples are pretty much American to the core and have no interest in adopting European ideologies of old or accepting rulers.(11-19-2018, 06:26 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(11-19-2018, 06:03 PM)Eric the Green Wrote: I don't know too many pinko Republicans.

That's not pinko.I saw what any normal person who has a high level of integrity would act after they've been falsely accused, falsely portrayed as a horrible person and feeling as if they're being railroaded. My suggestion, get that mob rule mentally that the blues enabling for years under control because we are a heavily armed population who will us them when the time comes and a group who will feed the Democrats to the groups of angry blue mobs for them to do with as the please during the 4T.
She did have credibility, and one witness I assume did not want to tell the truth under oath, and the rest of them were ignored. It was Kavanaugh who cried and yelled and screamed and showed himself unfit to serve, but since he is right-wing the Republicans supported him.
BTW, you can see pinko's on any popular blue news outlet these days. The bulk of never Trump Republicans who jumped ship when Trump won the primary are a bunch pinko's. The Republicans who jumped ship when the Tea Party showed up & made waves were pinko's. BTW, I don't know many of them either.
It is possible to be or simulate outrage when standards suddenly change, when behavior that was once acceptable becomes deplorable, disqualifies one from following ones profession. This seems to have happened here. It is common with 4Ts that what used to be acceptable under the old set of morality is rejected by a more inclusive morality which enlarges "All men are created equal." Women are not playthings anymore. Those who treated them as such have to pay a price.
"Pinko" seems to be a general pseudo insult more associated with Xer's world view than anything else. The word once meant communist, an association with the old Soviet Union or China. With the word being associated with 'socialism', I anticipate it will be applied to anyone who wants to promote the general welfare, something true Americans used to be proud of, something the US Government is charged to do.
Those who embraced Trump over the establishment were both tired of Establishment Republicans and their habit of supporting the elites, and deplorables who took cover under the Republican Southern Strategy. I can sympathize with the former, while deploring the deplorables. I can see classic communists favoring abandoning loyalty to the capitalists. Marx did see some real problems, if not the correct solutions. However, communists are not the Trump base or Trump. They are too tiny a minority.
I would like to reject prejudice, and would like it to be un American, but alas prejudice is quite historically American. As American as fighting it.
Bob, the pinko Republicans are the type of folks who jump ship or bail or turn their tail and run back to the Democratic side where they actually belong when the political waters and the rhetoric gets a little rough for them. Do you remember Sean Love, Sean Love was an example of what I referred to as a pinko or squeamish Republican who one can't really count on when things/times start getting to rough for them. As I've mentioned before, the reddish voters are in the process of eliminating the weak and the squeamish from the Republican ranks in advance of the crisis period. How did the everyone should have right to own a home turn out in 08? Yes, the Bush wing equally as responsible as the Obama/Sanders and the Clinton wings. Well, we've pretty much gotten rid of/eliminated the Bush wing.
