GTFO.

I said he's gotten some things right but his pandering to the far right (see Alt or Tea Party... which pervades this forum is troublesome.
I am happy DACA will stand.
I am happy we likely won't be wasting money on a wall but possibly generating real and effective immigration.
Im glad he's targeting the CFPB.
I'm glad he believes in a strong UN.
These are all things that now seem likely and go against his base. Hence the doublespeak comment. Pretty much everything the man says on Twitter is idiotic but you folks eat it up.

NFL prima donnas and the MSM are sleeping bears? That is who are a lot more stirred up this week after Trump's comments.

I can't believe you're surprised by this. Ive only been telling you it for years.
With all due respect this board is like your kid. Parents are always the last ones to see when their kids have problems.

No no no. He means the alt right snowflakes who have been "trampled on" somehow for many years.

I can count those on a couple hands and feet. The average Joe posting out there in comment sections and on FB and twitter are hot about this, and it's hundreds and hundreds of comments. That's the sleeping bear.
Most all of them agree with Trump. Find another way of protesting other than disrespecting the flag, America, and our soldiers. For most, you don't mess with those things.

The next line in the quote was "I just find these labels hilarious. The lefties on here name-call and have as big or bigger foul mouths then those on the right. But that doesn't bother them."
Yes, it is those darned name-calling liberals that cause the conservatives to resort to their need to post their alt-right views and name call back. Dude (PA), conservatives outnumber liberal by about 20-1. I still can't decide which I am since I prefer conservatism on the fiscal side.

Invite some liberals then to join the party.
You guys act like I ban liberals. Hell, even when liberals asked to be banned, I don't ban them...
Don't look at me. Bring some liberals back...all are welcome.
Racing tends to attract an older demographic, and older demographics tend to trend right...sorry...that's the way it is...
There are plenty of dead racing forums out there that you guys are welcome to go try and revive and make it a left wing cesspool if you wish, on their off-topic section.

I'm not surprised by it. Ignorance runs rampant through this industry.
I'm actually amused by it...the new labels and all that. As if they actually mean something truly evil is going down in PA off-topic...
Some people need to get a grip.

Winston Churchill defined this phenomenon best. He said, "Those who are not liberals when they are twenty years old, have no soul. Those who are still liberals when they are forty, have no brains."

There will be places, in certain states in this country, not too long from now, where you will see them STOP flying the American Flag. Of this I have no doubt.

Do a search for "bans American flag" on google. Tons of hits and stories

They're dead for a reason. They suck.
I've followed and posted on this forum since 1999, no racing forum comes close to this one. King fin is partially right, but At first this board was mostly liberal. ..when they couldn't over run the conservatives they'd disappear until a Potus election went their way (suuferrindowns, Holla)
This, like many boards, will lose a number of liberals over the years. Most arguements don't tilt in their favor. Example, obamacare. Even mosty can't defend it, the other water carriers have long since departed the struggle

If you define the Tea Party as "alt right" you are officially full of it

Depends on which Tea Party group you refer to. There is the lower tax grassroots one, the religious right, the dabbled in witchcraft one, etc. etc. You could change it to reactionary conservative if you want. I don't care, whatever floats your boat.
You're just nitpicking a word choice. The emphasis of my post is still there.
