What's unfortunate about derspiess is I always felt Languish conservatives were more like me, the establishment wing guys who support free trade, have pro-business leanings, and advocate for candidates like Jeb/Romney or H.W. Bush back in the day.

Sometimes I'm with the GOP establishment and sometimes I'm against it.  I fully supported Romney & Bush-41, and was okay with Jeb until he showed himself to be a pretty pathetic presidential candidate.  And I'm not sure what I've said here to make anyone doubt my free trade & pro-business views.

QuoteInstead it appears we have at least one Rush Limbaugh fooled imbecile here, which is a true travesty.

Another swing & miss.  I haven't listened to Limbaugh for a while, but when I did it was for entertainment.  Anyway why the name-calling?  I can handle being called whatever, but did I do or say anything to personally offend you?

Give the guy a break.  We asked for his rationale and he gave it.  I may not care much for it but he gave it honestly.

This is straight up kind and sensitive person behavior, there's a long tradition of insulting people we disagree with here, and I'll be damned if I listen to your entreaties otherwise.

The Amish have boarded the Trump Train.

QuoteAmish PAC endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump and launched billboards in Lancaster, Pennsylvania — west of Philadelphia where the Democratic National Convention is being held this week.
"Pennsylvania has a good shot of going Republican in November and these billboards will certainly help by getting people registered and to the polls," said Ben King, the outreach director for Amish PAC.

The goal of the billboards is to educate Amish and Mennonite voters about Trump.

Roughly 95 percent of Amish and Mennonite voters are Republican

Sounds like they have just been invited to board.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Looking through the Republican platform for my home state of Texas (God bless Texas), found this lovely nugget:

Quote
International Trade- We support free trade as a necessary component of American capitalism and
of the United States' influence in the world. We strongly oppose the Trans-Atlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership (TTIP), the Trade In Services Agreement (TISA), and the Trans-Pacific
Partnership (TPP). We demand the immediate withdrawal from the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA)
, and the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). We demand
the repeal of the current Fast Track Authority/TPA.

International Organizations- We support United States withdrawal from the International
Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, and the World Bank.
