Ken - I truly feel there are certainly issues with our country, and a lot of it is economic related, which seems to be the #1 topic of complaint with voters (until the next terrorist attack happens, then it will be national security for another month)
Not defending trump, but just speaking logic. Most of the voters feel he is the best man to get the economy running again. I think (hah) that "Trumps" all other possible issues with him. I will feel better about the whole thing if Ben Carson works with him and Chris Christie works with him.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Hohhof To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2016 9:38 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: Is it 1968 all over? It is not sarcasm. I believe Rory’s posts have a long history of abandoning all logic and facts when black people are involved. And like the things Trumps says, if no one speaks up and says that is prejudiced, people can go on believing everyone agrees with them and they are not prejudiced. And by the way, I think America is still pretty great, and I don’t know why it is OK to bash our country now. Sure, we have a black President and gays are out of the closet - that means we have to “take our country back” and “make America great again”? We don’t need to set the clocks back 50 years to be a great country. If you are ashamed of your country, maybe something is wrong with you.

I think that is unfair, unless it is sarcasm which you seem to be great at, so I concur. On Sat, Mar 12, 2016, 9:16 AM Ken Hohhof <[email protected]> wrote: Black people really seem to set you off.

BTW, Black Lives Matter showed up to the Chicago rally and now there is looting and gun fire. I really doubt the Trump supporters are doing that.

I hope you realize that everyone participating in this discussion is an Adult, and a Patriot. Everyone is very much concerned about the future of our great nation. The discussion is over the events as they are unfolding. It is very interesting to me, as an independent, that folks on the right are so upset, and so polarized in their view that they are willing to accept bad behavior from anyone of their affiliated party, since that person can do nothing wrong and the other side cannot do nothing right... I fully understand that everyone is passionate, but exchange of views in a polite healthy manner is the proper decorum, watching the GOP primaries turn into a circus act is embarrassing, because the world is watching, and to see folks trying to explain and justify is even more troubling. Bad behavior is bad behavior, it should be called out, and it should not bt acceptable at any level from anyone. While the media is fully responsible for fueling the fire and covering only the inciting stuff.... watch closely the clips of trouble at the Trump rallies, there appears to be an steadily increasing amount of 'supporter participation' in this bad behavior.... (when someone is being lead out, by security there are folks hitting and throwing punches at the person being lead out....).. and Mr Trump constantly refuses to condemn such behavior, which indicates approval. While you can explain it and justify it which ever way you want, some of us who have had a broader view of the world, have seen this type of behavior and events , in the other parts of the world.. and the end results were not very good for anyone.... As such their is rising concern. The GOP is playing with Fire, one they think they can control.... historically speaking when that particular type of genie is let out of the bottle, no one has been able to control it ..... :) Regards Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom 7266 SW 48 Street Miami, FL 33155 Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Rory Conaway" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2016 9:05:42 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: Is it 1968 all over? Jaime, travel to the WWII museum and learn about the sacrifices we made as a country to stop men like Hitler. You have so mischaracterized what Trump is saying but I’d rather take this discussion elsewhere to someplace like Facebook.

Its human nature....you push me and I push back...most fights start that way...literally and figuratively... Trump doesn't deny he has asked him audience to beat the crap of those "bad dudes"...let's go back to old days....what civil rights riots? Wallace? Lynching? He is playing to the older white man who fears foreigners are taking over the US. Xenophobia was one of Hitler and others methods used to create a fervor and led to murder of millions. i have a different perspective on things from my ancestors and upbringing plus traveling. Travel outside USA and your eyes open a bit more. I normally stay quiet on politics but not this time.....too much at stake...Trump will not win.
