So you are saying the President Obama could have been divorced three times, said that he likes to grab a female parts, he would have been treated differently?

As far as the issues, let's have a talk, why do I want to follow in the foot steps of Kansas and Mississippi? I am a progressive on many fronts and I believe in healthcare for all, education for all, a strong infrastructure, and this means investing into our state and national levels.

I believe in consumer protections. I believe those that have been blessed with much should pay more than those less fortunate.

I believe that in Eastern Kentucky if we continue to look to the past that is where we are going to stay.

I will start a weekly thread and we will hash out a new topic once a week.

We have a little glimpse as to what would have happened had Obama said those things. Bill Clinton cheated on his wife many years ago, and the left whined and cried and pushed to keep him in office. So I'm sure they would have been defending Obama to no end. My contention, had you paid attention, was that this smug liberal/socialist movement would trigger a backlash of epic proportions eventually. What you're seeing with Donald Trump is a result of that.

No, you aren't a "progressive" as you call yourself. You are a socialist. You ask why you would want to follow in the footsteps of Kansas and Mississippi, who would you like to follow then? Detroit? California?

You are using, "free healthcare for all," "education for all," etc., which of course is a statement (typical of the left) to try to elevate yourself as some caring, compassionate person and that I'm somebody that's just out to disrupt that and demonize the poor. The truth is, the difference between us lies in government control. You want government to have complete control of healthcare. You want government to have complete control of education. You think that because somebody succeeds, that they should be punished. It's like that student who gets an A on a test in their college class but the professor reduces their grade to a C so that other students who didn't do as well can get a higher grade. Likewise, the Robin Hood rules do not help the poor, it is socialist.

You are right that Eastern Kentucky, if they continue to look to the past, they will stay there. But thankfully, they no longer are doing that. We now have conservatives in office for the first time in 80+ years that are working to dig the state out of the mess that the "progressives" left it in.
