    Govt doesn't need to be "big" to be helpful. The federal govt does a ton of sbit it doesn't need to do. I do like though how you tacitly agree bigger govt is a leftist goal.

    And yet if you are a women in America she can’t even decide what to do with her body, and it is those that so easily throw around the cliche “freedom” who deny them that right

    Nah, no one could top the fun Trump provided, and if DeSantis were to win, his Administration would parallel Trump’s, lot of blustering and not a lot of accomplishments

    We shall see...but as far as topping the fun? I do agree that Joe isn't providing any fun at all...just anguish....Nothing could be worse...Nothing's Ever been this bad...
    I'm a bit surprised you think that Gov. DeSantis hasn't accomplished anything, when that's very clearly wrong...I know...but if you voted for Joe, I understand....

    I would not base where I live on any of those.

    What I WOULD consider is whether I’m going to have to evacuate my home, have it destroyed, experience massive power outages or lack of cell phone access, etc. Every year.

    Landfall hurricanes in the US occur a couple to several times a year. In the South and Midwest, tornadoes and other extreme weather kill many people and destroy property EVERY YEAR. Usually, several times a year.

    On the news, I observe all of those with the same, redundant stories. Followed by the same, tax-payer funded bailouts.

    It’s like the movie “Groundhog Day”.

    It’s one’s preference to live where they choose. One takes the risk and should be held accountable for it themselves.

    So no taxpayer handouts for anyone? Anywhere? You probably aren't a fan of taxpayer handouts for illegals then...or other countries who experience disaster or war....Bad personal choice of residence?

    Banning books is not what you would consider freedom.

    What an asinine premise, completely irrelevant to the freedom from oppressive government overreach and mandates, that they refer to.

    The government has its place ;Florida keeps it in it.


    How idiotic.
    TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

    Insurance companies pay out more than Calif.?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
