You have very strong Conservative views that you're trying to re-frame with a brand new ID.
I see right through it.
Where would you rank Donald Trump amongst the greatest or worst US Presidents ever?

Your own fucking chart shows that by the end of Obama's term, there were fewer troops in Afghanistan than there were when he took office.
See, Gunny2009 is a Conservative who previously on this board went all-in with Conservatism. Most likely spreading propaganda like #Walkaway or predicting a #RedWave. When neither happened, gunny2009 got panicked and decided to ditch the old ID and create a brand new one to basically start over with a new persona. It's a persona carefully crafted to provide as much breadth and width as possible in order to continue conveying Conservative ideas, but doing so as an "above it all" "both sider".
It's Gunny's way of avoiding accountability for being a Conservative fool.
Notice how superficial this declaration of principles is.
It stakes out positions without explaining why.
It's obvious why that context is absent; it's all posturing bullshit.
Gunny2009 was a Conservative on this forum that was adamant about his Trumpist Conservatism. He went all-in with Trump and Conservatives, spreading propaganda like #Walkaway or #RedWave, and grew tired of posters re-posting the bad predictions and mistaken positions. So to soothe his fragile ego, he created a brand new ID where he can reframe his Conservative positions as genuine, careful considerations of the facts.
Ask him what he thinks caused the massive deficit spike, he will say "spending is the problem".
You can thank Obamacare for most of this.
Trump is setting the bar for the worst president of all time. He has no respect for the law of institutions. He just does what he wants and defies you to stop him. He has no political or international understanding of how nations, allies and enemies have worked to stop conflict. Trump is at a point where he might think he needs a war to rally the people behind him. He would have no trouble doing it. This is a terrrible disaster going on. Just hope we survive it.
One thing's for sure...Conservatives will be saying that they never supported Trump the moment he leaves the Oval Office.
Please explain how ObamaCare added 1.27 trillion dollars to the deficit the FY that just ended.
You have a very active imagination, I will give you that.
Actually I explained why I hold those views when I said this....I am a small government, more personal freedom person. A live and let live motto.
Spending is the problem dumb shit, we spend more than we bring in, a fuck ton more. But you are ok with that because you will not have to deal with the consequences, you will be dead and gone and my children and grandchildren will be paying for you to be a freeloader.

Trump is the absolute worst of all the presidents and a complete embarrassment to America. But we should never forget that America has the capacity to outdo itself as the division of the country grows even more egregious.
Imagine! A no-mind piece of shit such as Sarah Palin becoming VP, then being in line for the presidency!
If Trump was possible, there's little doubt that Americans could have made the Palin Kunht the pres! How sick! The greatest country in the world? So was the Roman empire.

If "spending is the problem"...it is because we do NOT SPEND ENOUGH...on things we need. We need to spend more...MUCH MORE...on infrastructure...and on GREATLY EXPANDING safety net programs.

Obama is number 8. Right behind Eisenhower, Truman, the Roosevelts, Jefferson, Lincoln and Washington.
Trump is rated as the worst President ever by the NYT:
44th out of 44
What a DISGRACE!

Everybody just wants to keep spending our kids and grandkids money...more more more...but do not make me pay for it...that is the motto of the day.
We should spend more...on infrastructure and on expanding the safety net programs. We also should spend more on government research into drugs; on supplying educational opportunities to young people who cannot afford it; on medical care for people who cannot afford it; for space exploration...for so many other things.
We should pay for it.
Rich people should be paying much, much more...and the upper "middle class" also.
Yeah, you are correct. Spending is the problem. We are not doing anywhere near enough of it on the right things.
We have a Constitution which lays out the government's responsibility and puts limits on the government.
None of those things are included in that document.
We have a Constitution which lays out the way we elect the people who govern us.
THEY decide what we spend money on.
Not you.
I've got a copy of it on the shelf alongside where I am sitting. I have read it several times...including a couple of times on the Internet.
You, apparently, do not understand it.
I am not surprised at that.
