I'm SAYING they're excluded -- by the voters. The moderate-conservative
spectrum in the GOP is broader than it's ever been. The effect is that
there are essentially two Republican parties. They disagree on everything,
which makes it difficult to impossible for Congress to achieve
anything important. The proof is in the failure of the health care bill.
If you think there are more idealogues in the Dem Party than the GOP,
you're crazy.

I'm just waiting for you to recognize the fact that Obama wasn't weak

A combination of both. Diplomacy through strength. If you show weakness to a bully/dictator like Assad, then more people will die at the hands of chemical weapons. Again, diplomacy only works if there is sincere intent from all sides. That's what happened in Kosovo when we started bombing Serbia. That brought them to the table. Clinton handled that war masterfully, yet you criticize Trump for engaging in the same strategy?

You're missing the point.

You praise Trump for doing exactly the same things you condemned Obama
for doing: governing by executive order.

You have to be kidding. I don't read "leftist" Blogs, so how would I
quote them?

Michael Flynn comes to mind immediately, as well as Jeff Sessions who
now is in a bind. Then there's his staff during the election process
like Paul Manafort. I suppose you never heard of any of this.

So in addition to knowing everything there is to know about Trump's
involvement with Russia, you're also an expert in military strategy, are
you?

You are now officially full of shit. I have stated my approval of the
Syrian attack, and am not "ankle biting", one of your idiot go to
words.

Guts and wisdom? Trump shows neither. You are all over the place with
this subject, and wrong about most of what you say.

Unlike you, I don't consider everything I read in the

word "read." I don't watch CNN or any other cable news

The Russians have been in Syria since 1971. Well, actually
back then it was the USSR, so pedantically, only since the
Soviet Union broke up and became Russia (which was in 1991).

Apparently, Greg learned at Horvath's knee. You guys all
remember Horvath, right? He's the one who claimed to have
been be range safety officer at Camp Perry, but had never
somehow heard of the National Matches which are run there
for an entire month every summer for the past 110 years.

Of course I'm familiar with these people and the speculative accusations against them.

The FBI investigated HRC. Did anything come of that? Same could easily be true for the collusion question.

Yet you claim collusion from his cabinet is "proven" but cite no proof. Care to explain?

Try to point out any criticism by me of the attack. There has been
none.

It's a knee-jerk thing with Greg, now.

It's hitched his wagon to Trump and anything that even hints at
criticism has him lashing out.

That's ridiculous.I've only discussed the facts that are obvious
because I don't consider myself an expert. Mostly my posts were to
Greg who has a screwed up view of what I have said about the Syrian
attack. If one has to be an expert to post on most of the threads on
RSG it would be very quiet. So you should take your own advice.

You've become as fucked up as Greg. I'll try to use simple words to
explain this to you.

The only views that I've offered were in answer to Greg's mistaken
ideas about what I thought about the Syrian attack. When it happened I
agreed that Trump was right about doing it and that I was in favor of
it. He kept asking why I was against it and just wouldn't recognize
what I had said.

The only other thing that went on too long was the comparison of the
2013 situation in Afghanistan with the Syrian raid. No matter what I
posted caused another question that was a non sequitur. Then asking
for a solution when there was no problem that needed one.

There's only one view that I won't change and that's what I think of
Trump.
