    Every American gets a voice- no group or ideology will get the final word and 'win'.
    Many voices are being suppressed these days. If we all get a voice, why are so many afraid to speak?

    Right now I'm all about suppressing anyone who wants to sell this country out for a few dollars. I'm all about suppressing anyone who thinks it's OK to suppress the voices of those who do not agree with them. I'm all about suppressing anyone who wishes to subjugate the United States Constitution to their ideology.

    They call it the "silent majority" for a reason . . .

    If your views don't jive with the politically correct status quo your First Amendment rights need not apply. See Donald Trump.

    I think there is something about the narcissism of each successive generation where they believe they have to establish some new level of "revolution for change." And given that all the "that makes sense" changes have happened long ago, that only leaves the few nobody thought of before and the extremes.

    What we are seeing is people embracing the extremes and mainstream acceptance of the extremes. Of course people going to extremes to give their existence "meaning" is really nothing new either.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    Personally I think Trump is--well, Trump. But it's interesting to watch him publicly say what an awful lot of us are thinking and catch hell for it. Specifically from Romney, Bush, and Rubio.

    Sort of tends to smoke 'em out, doesn't it?

    Personally, I favor Tweedleedee.

    Sorry, but those people get a voice. Make your case with logic. Avoid fear mongering and pretending that the United States of America is becoming an unlivable dictatorship.
