Top 5 names last 100 years

Danni,

"Apparently, some here today don't even care if we are or not."

Yea...I know. I've seen this routine all my life.

Aaaahhhh....no one else cares like you do.

Are you telling me you "used to think" America's democracy was better than Russia but now you don't?

Perhaps the Democratic Party should be renamed the Pity Party.

"We're the only ones who care."

Bay,

Another odd occurrence with the 2016 election was that nearly all polls got it wrong.

Hillary was a sure thing, but she lost.

I've read Trump supporters were in higher numbers than believed.

That is possible. I can well imagine Trump supporters keeping their opinions close to the vest even with pollsters.

However, my feeling on the matter is people polled identified as Democrat and appeared to pollsters as "a vote for Hillary".

I noticed Bernie supporters were raging mad.

Mad enough to poll as Democrat but stay home?

Would explain the poll discrepancy.

Bay,

Did it change the results of the election?

Who knows?

All we can do now is speculate.

Bay,

I'm not so sure how much I believe this DNC sabotage reveal didn't change the election.

I mean...how many Bernie supporters stayed home on election day?

Corky,

"The problem is that two wrongs don't make a right"

That's what you've got?

A cliche?

Come on admit it.

Liberals wouldn't give a rat's patootie about "meddling" if Hillary had won.

And the part that really hurts is that the hacking of the DNC servers revealed how badly the democrats sabotaged Bernie Saunders and were determined to rig the system for Hillary to be nominated.

How embarrassing.

This article points out the truth.

Liberals being offended is situational and not really based on principle as they want everyone to believe.

Zed,

You've never seen me judge anyone on here personally for how they conduct their lives.

God will judge them.

And God will judge me.

I don't have any desire to argue anything with you or anyone.

I've struggled with many conflicting feelings and beliefs all my life and I've come to the conclusion there is no solution for some of them and grace through Jesus Christ is all I've got to defend me when I die.

In this life human's are a hateful bunch looking to pick fights and get other people to justify their beliefs.

At my age I'm just over that.

Snoofy,

Morality is a guiding principle in my life.

I actually agree with many of the views held by left leaning people.

And I agree with views held by right leaning people.

That's as far as I'll take this.

There is good on both sides.

In a funny sort of way I just did.

Snoofy,

There is nothing moral about keeping people addicted to welfare and filling their minds with self defeating pity.

It is a way to keep them in your control.

This dysfunctional government policy that's been running for decades is up people's behinds so far now there's no way to really help anyone except more of the same.

People today are so mind-warped what is right and wrong, what is good and bad, what is beneficial and what is detrimental to society.

No...I don't claim to be some moral high-minded person like you.

Zed,

Furthermore,

Democrats need to get over thinking they are the "moral" party because they're not.

Republicans aren't either.

Morality and politics divorced years ago.

Zed,

The Mueller Report is a big nothingburger.

Democrats will wail and moan and waste the next 2 years instead of figuring out who they are other than the "free stuff" party and the "men can have babies" party.

Zed,

You might be getting rid of Trump (as you say), in 2020, but I bet you with the economy doing as well as it is the next president will be republican and the next 8 years after that.

I'm curious.

When will the Democratic Party begin working on building support and offer realistic ideas that address the future?

All I've heard out of them the last few years is cockamamy fantasies and idealistic dreams.

Well...that and rage and hatred and OCTD.

At some point they will need to stop dwelling on the past and blaming other people for their setbacks.

I can easily vote Democrat again if the Democratic Party can somehow get at it's grassroots and find a truly inclusive voice.

I had a 21 year old cat that in his last year was blind and deaf. He would bump his way around the house to go from room to room and had to be fed by hand.

He just got weaker and weaker until his last 48 hours he just laid on his side and tried to move his legs.

The last 6 hours he was stretching out his front legs trying to move but could barely do anything.

When I was getting ready for bed I went back downstairs to check on him and picked him up. I held him in my arms so he was upright. His head and right leg were free.

I watched him barely breathing.

Finally I noticed he didn't seem to be taking a breath and then something happened that has stayed with me.

He lifted his head up stretching his neck and looked up as if he was seeing something and he lifted his right leg completely straightened about 45 degrees that he hadn't had the energy for hours.

I saw him reach with his right leg towards something that he was facing exactly at the same time.

His head and leg were lifted up for no more than a half a second and he collapsed.

Let me tell you, I saw just how much something alive changes when the life is gone out of it.

He had been a weak cat but was still alive.

He turned into something limp about the only way I can describe is like holding a towel limp in your arms.

So...what did he see? Having had cats for decades his behavior was just as if he was responding to someone calling his name and he was about to be picked up.

I wonder....

(or maybe it was just his brain responding from a lack of oxygen)

American,

"The inquisitors who tortured and murdered untold thousands for centuries in the name of Christ called themselves "Christians" too."

You have a point.

I'm sure there are doctors aborting babies "in the name of Christ".

Nixon,

Are you serious?

You believe they are Christians?

Boaz,

"Doesnt exactly have a feeling of working together."

I read if you claim to be "colorblind" you are racist.

Asking why can't we "work together" is probably racist too.

This racism argument there is no win win solution.

Zed,

"Your position is that she should dress like a Christian until (some) Muslims and (some) Jews make peace?"

btw....how does one dress like a Christian?

A worn woolen shawl and dragging a cross?

Zed,

"Your position is that she should dress like a Christian until (some) Muslims and (some) Jews make peace?"

Is that what I said?

What I clearly said was if she's going to wear her religion on her sleeve (in her case on her head), she might want to show empathy for others to avoid showing favoritism (you know...separation of church and state all that stuff)

She represents America (presumably).

Keep in mind what she wears is not a costume.

It is religious attire and Muslims and Jews have not yet made peace.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Joe,

She's a Democrat and most of you are already anti Israel.

It's not much of a stretch to assume another democrat woman who wears her religious beliefs on her head is one too.

It's not so much her comment itself that sounds flippant about 9/11. It's if you put it in context with her other comments that were definitely anti Israel and what we know about radical Muslims in general which is how she has made herself appear.

If she isn't flippant about 9/11 and considering she is now a member of Congress, it might be prudent of her to put out a little more effort to show her alliance to America (if it actually exists).

Clown,

Whether one saw it or not it's not too hard to believe that indeed on 9/11 there was a cross section of American Muslins who thought the attack was justified and gave them satisfaction.

What I find interesting about Laura's post is how liberals love to drag out Biblical verses to make a point and support their beliefs and judge others but they have a fit when Christians do the same.
