ability to carry heavy burdens, most often used by working class owners who do physical labor. They are known for their stubborn sense of self-determination/preservation, and cannot be intimidated into doing something they sense is dangerous, though they are also found to be friendly, capricious, studious resilient and loyal.

Entire Democrat Party In DisarrayNov 11, 2016
It isn't only the Presidency, House and Senate the Democrats lost, they also lost at the state and local levels across the board. I guess a lot of them did "wake up" as suggested many times by those in the know. I think this bodes well for the country moving forward. I am going to continue to NOT read the negative posts by the usual suspects as they continue to offer nothing but divisiveness and vitriol, the traits the majority of Americans are tired of seeing over the last eight years. ...

NBC parent company Comcast donated $5.6 million to the Democratic Party during its convention in Philadelphia, and NBC provided Monday night’s presidential debate moderator.

Leaked DHS Document Is Another Democrat Party Mar 29, 2017
At Breitbart.com, Michael Patrick Leahy has what strikes me as an explosive story: “Mystery Surrounds Leaked Leaked Draft DHS Document at Center of Controversial Travel Ban Decisions by Two Federal Judges.” Actually, though, it doesn’t seem to be much of a mystery. On February 24, AP reporters Vivian Salama and Alicia Caldwell published an AP “exclusive”: “DHS report disputes threat from banned nations.” The story was based on an anonymous draft Department of Homeland Services d ...

Seething Liberals Vow Revolution In The Democrat Party.Nov 12, 2016
Instead, a ferocious struggle has erupted on the left over the smoldering remains of the Democratic Party. Liberals are seething over the election and talking about launching a Tea Party-style revolt. They say it’s the only way to keep Washington Democrats connected to the grassroots and to avoid a repeat of the 2016 electoral disaster, which blindsided party elites. Progressives believe the Democratic establishment is responsible for inflicting Donald Trump upon the nation, blaming a ...

Sanders Leaves The Democrat Party...back To Being An Independent.Jul 27, 2016
Chameleon Sanders.  Having only gorged himself at the public trough since 1979, he wants another term as an independent.  37 years isn't enough, I guess.  Wonder if Hillary will stump for him. But hey -  when you're as good at pulling the wool over so many people's eyes as Sanders has proven to be, there's not much else you can be but a politician.  That, or a used car salesman. ...

The Yasser Arafat Of Democrat Party; How Chuck SchumerMar 31, 2017
The late terrorist Yasser Arafat (1929-2004) was famous for saying one thing to American media and the opposite to Palestinian audiences. To U.S. presidents and chief diplomatic correspondents he would profess his desire for peace and for a two-state solution, while to Arabs and Muslims he would impugn Jews, hint at Israel's abolition, and incite and pay for anti-Semitic violence. His problem was that, like most liars, he was eventually found out. President George W. Bush saw through Arafat ...

Wow. The Corruption Of The Democrat Party Is Being Laid Totally Bare.Oct 12, 2016
We're finding out so much now about how the left really thinks, although long suspected. Disdain for (specific) religious faiths, exploitation of false narratives, back-room deals with news media to cover up or ignore scandals, special arrangements with debate "moderators" and "interviewers" regarding the questions to be asked (or not asked), and we're just starting on these email dumps. Meanwhile, Trump continues to draw crowds 3 and 4 times the size of Hillary's. 8,000 today ...

The Tea Party (disgusting And Full Of Vitrole And Hatred) Are Not The Republican Party HopefullyApr 17, 2011
I hope with everything I have in me that the Tea Party does not represent the Republican Party. This is what the Tea Party stands for. They are full of vitriole and hatred. This is not what the Republican party stands for. See comments by Republican Party of Orange County Chairman Scott Baugh, "It's just highly inappropriate, it's a despicable message, it drips with racism and I think she should step down from the committee," said Baugh.

We used to have many discussions over the past years about politics, always polite, always respectful. In fact, she is one of the few liberals I know who is not full of vitriol and hateful rhetoric. What she told me this past weekend shocked me. She admitted to me that I had been right all along about BO and his ineffective leadership. She said she never felt so helpless ...
