If you want to end Medicare and Social Security benefits for Americans, sending the elderly into concentration camps, I have no respect for your opinions what so ever.

I have no respect for criminals. That's just the way it is.


If these are not your opinions, then I know you're also disgusted with the radical group of 20 Republican extremists in the House and their sycophant Kevin McCarthy.

If you're not, you need to sit down and figure out why.

Most of us here are in this camp. Unfortunately since Reagan the Republican party has been moving away from a fair taxation system and attempting to destroy the social safety net developed for seniors over the previous 50 years. Of course Dems have been expanding it to anyone with a hang nail. Twenty years ago, even 10 years ago I voted fairly conservatively at the local level because we can't just print money to support everyone's idea of a fair society. Of course I can't do that any longer. Republicans are not a financially conservative party with a laissez-faire attitude toward social issues, they've had to embrace Christian fundamentalism to remain relevant. When Christo-fascism and deep seated racism are a component of your core values, the party is un-American. I agree, we should be respectful of each other's opinions. This is a difficult time for most Americans and it's not clear our systems are strong enough to force hand-wringing Dems to do the right thing. Obama did nothing to reign in financial malfeasance, and Biden will do nothing to reign in Osama Bin Trump. Nothing. So in the end which party is worse? We're making a new Munich Agreement and Neville Chamberlain is our advocate. As I said, these are difficult times for most of us, let's at least be civil.

Excellent post and thank you for the reminder. It is a board for investing. I have been getting carried away with my politicking and I shall tone it down and save it to private messages only. Perhaps more of us should consider it also.
