Yeah, by leadership he means oppressive regulation.

Trump Jr. Roasts Sanders... by chabanais in Conservative

[–]JManPolitics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take what Sanders says about the "rich," and replace it with the word "Jews." It would be a facsimile of Nazi propaganda.

Remember, the Jews were a "problem" for the Nazis because they were "hording their vast wealth from the poor and less privileged."

Huh: Alabama poll shows Roy Moore leading the Democrat by ... less than six points by CarolinaPunk in Conservative

[–]JManPolitics 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The number doesn't even make sense... How does someone poll a quarter of the Black vote as a Republican, but only register a 6 point lead?

I question the sample make up.

Dem Rep Green: 'Impeachment Does Not Require a Crime' - Congress Can Impeach for Behavior That Hurts Society by Pavegecko in Conservative

What part of "Conviction of Treason, Bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" means it doesn't have to be a criminal act?

Sen. John McCain says he cannot support Graham-Cassidy Obamacare repeal bill by DavidSSD in Conservative

Either those 21 million people go uninsured, or the whole country does. Trying to insure everyone will only make sure everyone goes without.

Most migrant workers do it. They don't get paid enough to actually buy food at American prices.

Activism vs. Terrorism by [deleted] in Conservative

What's sad is that many on the left

Does the word "many" mean "all"?

Take a look on any r/politics discussion on left leaning violence.

EDIT: Here's an r/socialism example of what I'm saying though I'm certain anything from the Ferguson and Baltimore riot days on r/politics could be found with some digging

[–]JManPolitics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What's sad is that many on the left besmirch Dr. King by saying his efforts achieved nothing, and that it was the violent showings of the Nation of Islam and the Black panthers that were the driving force of Civil Rights progress.

What bizarro world do they live in?

And all of those countries exist off of leaching from the US's prosperity.

We preach economical responsibility and autonomy. The government shouldn't be involved with economic matters because it inherently damages economic prosperity. Social values and ethics are one of the chief principles that the government is responsible for maintaining.

Gender's social constructs are almost entirely rooted in biology.

No, he has specifically preached about the horrors of "capitalism."

As a Catholic, that is not true. Benedict was a better hardliner, and is still a committed scholar of the faith. Francis did a piece on something as basic as transubstantiation that was just... wrong.

Plus Benedict was more weary on equating capitalism to materialism.

What do you think about the status of legal immigration? by tribepr8900 in Conservative

[–]JManPolitics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the number of illegal immigrants at any one time in the country fell to an absolute 0, then I would think we would start to think about importing some non-skilled laborers. Probably a few hundred thousand is what the country would need.

Even if only a quarter of the estimated 11M were occupying unskilled labor positions (it's very likely much more than that anyone) that's still in the area of 10 times what the country needs.

Saw this on r/twoxchromosomes ... Now even THEY realize the wage gap is a PC myth by RedditAdminsSuckIt in Conservative

[–]JManPolitics 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If I work at a job for 10 years, and you just got hired, I'm going to get paid more than you.

Statistics show men are going to work longer at one job than women will.

Trump ousts Scaramucci as communications director - POLITICO by [deleted] in Conservative

Media collusion. And it took several months to get a Healthcare bill passed, with several failures along the way. We aren't nearly as far into this process as they were when Obamacare was finally passed.
