    Yeah, that's everywhere. In fact, often the difference between red and blue states has more to do with how urban or rural the state is rather than other factors.

    That's a good point. If they seceded then the USA may have to remove its military bases. Then again, maybe not. There are a lot of other nations around the globe with US military bases and I don't think that China is going to be building a military base of its own in Canada or Mexico right next...

    One of the values I hold as a conservative is the right to be left alone. Both as an individual and as an organized collective. I believe that there is a right of secession. "When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have...

    Yeah, it would actually be tragic because so many of the great aspects of California that have arisen from the state being a part of the USA would be lost, along with numerous good people who would be hurt in the collapse. In many ways it would be good for the rest of the USA though. The smart...

    If they seceded they would likely create a new national Constitution that would allow (or require) them to do all of the far left stuff that the USA Constitution wouldn't allow. Emboldened with their new found freedom and power, they would likely enact all sorts of crazy policies that would...

    Republicans would be fools to stop California from secession. That would solve so many problems for the American right wing. Why force a bunch of people who hate your country to be a part of it, especially when they are going to drag the rest of the country down with them. Unfortunately...

    I’d care more about what non-Americans thought about our politics if they actually cared about stuff that was their business: OMG, Trump wants a border wall! OMG, they need to outlaw guns! OMG Trump is an ist of some kind! I will dismiss foreign TDS even more quickly than domestic TDS, which...

    I figured that almost everybody (cough cough) on this forum understood how corporate taxes hurt people who aren’t rich, but I wanted to say it anyway just in case.

    Yeah, corporate taxes get passed on to consumers, it increases the price of everything very often for working and middle class people. Also, a lot of the really big well connected corporation don’t pay income tax anyway or pay a reduced amount. Lower tax rates make smaller corporations more...

    I mentioned that answering questions about the economy is complicated, though some aspects more than others. Trump lowered the corporate income tax rate, which is like cleaning sand out of the gears of our economy and surely has contributed to some of our growing prosperity. My husband and I...

    Who else dreads this year?

    I would say so, but it’s an extremely complex question. I vote more on other issues than the economy though. The Democrat platform is to essentially flood the nation with immigrants, bribe them for votes, until the USA as such is effectively eliminated. The position of most establishment...

    I most likely will be voting for Trump, because despite his many flaws, just about everybody else is horrible. I would actually consider voting for Tulsi Gabbard, but the Democrat establishment isn’t going to let her anywhere close to the presidency.

    This fact may come as a surprise to many people on the left, but Richard Spencer has just as much right to openly express his beliefs or hold a public event to further his political agenda as any other peaceful law abiding American has. Just because you don’t like him or his ideology doesn’t...

    Ugh, I am so sick of the term "Alt-right" and it has been so thoroughly abused so as to be nearly worthless. Ben Shapiro is a moderate neo-conservative who has some religious conservative qualities. He is no where near, and many would say virtually diametrically opposed, to the Alt-right. If...
