The economy "rebounded" when trump was elected huh... guess you missed the whold GWB 2007 horrific crash and how it "actually" rebounded under Obama... smh.

Maybe you should read the order before you comment anymore too.

Did you know farmers can not fix their own equipment legally? This order fixes this and many other issues too.

Did you read my entire comment?

I don't have to read his executive order. The very idea that the government can do anything to increase competition is just absurd. They don't know how. All they end up doing is playing favorites.

If you want to increase competition then you get the government completely out of the way. Dump all of those stupid regulations that Democrats think are necessary but aren't.

Yes I knew that Biden wrote an executive order so that farmer could fix their own equipment. What I didn't know is that it was part of some farcical "increase competition" order.

The fact that farmers could not fix their own equipment in the first place was because of what? The government getting in the way.

Here is the other much more serious problem that started with Obama and unfortunately Trump kept up and Biden is also practicing. That problem is creating law in the Executive branch of the government. Laws are ONLY allowed to be created by our representatives. That is why they are called representatives. They are the only ones the Constitution allows to make law.

When the president starts writing laws the we are no longer a Constitutional Republic. We've become a dictatorship. And both Republicans and Democrats seem enamored when their guy writes these edicts and decrees.

You're not reading my comments before you post something. I am not going to repeat myself. I answered the question about the farmers fixing their own equipment but you didn't read it.

So don't give me crap about no reading some lame executive order when you won't even read my comment.

Listen, I got my first job when Gerald Ford was president, have lived and worked on both coasts and several states and countries inbetween, owned bought and sold several businesses, and I have seen the economy up close and personal for decades.

The only thing trump ever said that was accurate was "the economy does better under Democrats". The stats only confirm what I know to be true from first hand experience.

We are living in a day and age of modern robber barrons, and yes the government ended that epoch. It is now doing it again and you should be thankful for that.

Castle advocates for ending the Federal Reserve so lenders and borrowers could set their own interest rates, and so Americans could use any form of currency""

Hey so whats wrong with 30% intrest rates? Hell why cant I pay for my food with Manhattan dollars? I just printed them today!

Castle believes "the ideas of America are not compatible with membership in the United Nations (U.N.)" and that the "very existence of the U.N. is an affront to liberty and human dignity."

Yea tell that to all the millions of refugees from war torn and drought stuck nations that have been helped, all the wars averted,

Basically the party of "You are on your own, your welfare be damned"

Are you referring to Darrell Castle who ran for president in the Constitution Party in 2016? If not then who is this Castle that you are referring to?

I will agree that the Federal Reserve has to go. Ron Paul came up with the best solution. Let banks print their own currency and complete with the Feds.

And what happens when there is competition? Say it with me now. Competition always benefits the consumer. So that means if any bank lent at 30% they would go out of business because they are not benefiting the consumer and all of the other banks will. The only way that banks would be forced to lend at 30% is if the government stepped in and started regulating the snot out of the banks JUST LIKE THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS DOES WITH EVERY BUSINESS.

The ideas of America are NOT compatible with the UN. We must dump the UN. The UN has its Agenda 21 and agenda 2030 where they hid their global socialism behind climate change and "sustainability". Go to the UN's website. Read about their 17 goals for agenda 2030 and then ask how they plan to accomplish those goals without drastic changes to our freedom.

And how many wars has the UN gotten us involved with. The UN is NOT a peacekeeping organization and they never have. Right now the UN president (I forgot his name) is in the back pocket of China and is doing China's bidding. But then so is our current president of the United States.

The UN has never had individual liberty as any of its goals or plans. They do not care about our inalienable rights. They never have. If anyone at any time in the UN's existence ever realized the miracle that happened when our founding fathers created the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution rather than ignoring it they would have embraced it. America became the greatest nation mankind has ever known, not because of the land or the people but because of freedom. A concept so simple that if the rest of the world tried it there would be no more wars or poverty. Such a simple concept. Create a small and vastly limited government and let the people determine their own lives. When people are moral and free there is prosperity for all. Take away one or the other or both and there is misery.

"Yes that worked out so well last time."

When was that?

"PS... do NOT ever tell ANYONE they dont understand economics"

At best Democrats are Keynsians and at worst they are Marxists. Both of those theories have been proven false. So if I tell you that you do not understand economics because you are a Democrat I feel fairly confident that you don't. Democrats scoff and make fun of the free market because Marx told them to. Marx coined the word "capitalism" and then proceeded to ridicule and lie about what it really was.

I prefer Adam Smith, Ludwig Von Mises, Frederick Hayek, Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell. Those and many others like them understood that mankind cannot control the economy. It is a force of nature and every attempt to controls it weakens it. Marx was flat out wrong by insisting that the collective (which has always meant the government) controls the means of production. And the result of the government controlling the means of production results in Venezuela, Cuba, the former Soviet Union, North Korea and China. Misery, death and loss of freedom and basic human rights.

And yet the Democrat party is full to the brim with Marxist who have bought into the lie that corporations are controlling you and the government should take care of all of your needs and wants.

Castle The "correct method" for interpreting the Constitution. Individuals who adhere to this theory limit their interpretation of the Constitution to the literal meaning of the language when it was written.""

You mean when f*g meant a pile of sticks, or when gay meant happy, or bait meant feed, or beastilings meant calfs, or clever meant trained , or or or or... ?

Or when freedom of religion did not change to separate of church from state. Or when if you twist the Constitution as much as you can you can somehow find a right to murder your unborn baby?

And more recently freedom of speech only means freedom of leftist speech and all other speech will be "cancelled".

The English language is constantly changing. The fact that those words meant something different at an earlier time has nothing to do with the Constitution. It is very easy to understand what they intended. And if you still cannot figure it out 3 of our founding fathers wrote the Federalist Papers which expounded on what they meant in the Constitution. So even if gay used to mean happy the fact that we know that it used to mean happy does not mean that it is impossible to understand the Constitution. Gay also used to mean a woman of loose morals.

Who are you to call it a "baby"? according to the bible its just a Zygote till the day of first breath... so lets use the "literal" intreptation and all for woman to decide their own health choices up until the day before the baby is born... you like "freedom" right?

Genesis 2:7, He “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and it was then that the man became a living being.”

False, Hebrews did not believe in a "Spirit," at least not as you're claiming.
They were physical, as all things ARE physical. Even their God, Yahweh (you might have heard of him) was described in the physical. No non-corporeal souls, ghosts, spirits. Physical.

Breathing breath into someone is exactly that, it's not breathing apparitions.

You claim you want "freedom" yet want to make laws based on a fictional book based in nothing.

"Yet, closing down Planned Parenthood and making contraception damn near impossible, kids have sex, aint never not going to happen"

You do know what Planned Parenthood was started for don't you? Considering that inner city blacks have the highest abortion rate (in NYC it is about 50%) then I would say Planned Parenthood is accomplishing their original purpose. Hitler would be proud of what his ally in America accomplished with her organization.

There are a whole lot of things that ain't gonna happen that should. We will never have a free market again. We will never be as free as we once were. We are never going to have politicians who actually honor their oath of office in either party. There are a few in the Republican party who still honor their oath but the Democrats only look at the Constitution as an obstacle unless they can use it to their advantage.

We aren't ever going to stop MY tax dollars from going to support Planned Parenthood. In fact there are a gazillion things that MY tax dollars support that I oppose.

“To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” - Thomas Jefferson

We aren't ever going to have another Thomas Jefferson in the White House. And now that the Dems have gotten away with the most egregious election steal ever I doubt if we ever had another Republican president. So any hopes of putting a Constitution Party or Libertarian politician in the White House or Congress is long gone.

"Anti choice"? Does the baby get a choice? Your fake president wants to send people door-to-door and make sure everyone has the vaccine. Where is the choice in what I do with my body in that? My wife and I voluntarily got the vaccine but if it was force on us I would have vehemently objected.

I don't tell those in need to get a job. I tell them to get a skill and training and then get a job so they can stop living off of other people's hard work.

I do have a right to defend life. We our military and city, county and state police dedicated to the preservation of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness. We have had homicide laws from the the beginning of civilization. But you tell me that society does not have a right to tell a woman to not murder her own baby???

I doubt, even of Roe v Wade is overturned, that abortion will ever go away. Roe v Wade should have never happened because the courts are not allowed to make law. Only congress does that.

The first thing that develops with the baby is the placenta. The purpose of the placenta is not unlike tactics employed by parasites. It keeps the mother's body from rejecting the foreign object. No other part of a man or woman's body needs a strategy to stay in the body. Therefore, logically it is quite easy to conclude that a baby is a separate life form. And while it is in the woman's body it takes nutrients away from the mother. No body parts do that. All parts of the body are there to keep the body alive. Well maybe not the appendix but that is a different story. And if women were lining up to voluntarily get their appendix removed then who cares? It is not a separate life form and it really serves no purpose in the body.

Oh wait. You wanted me to give you an answer from a book you don't believe in. Okay how about "thou shalt not kill".

"Are you giving birth? Are you going to pay for the kid? Are you going to raise the kid?

Then its not your business. Its the woman's (and husbands or boyfriends or 'baby daddies') choice .. Period."

Well then we might as well release every prisoner on death row. What concern is it of me if some guy hacks up a family of four in Minnesota? I don't live in Minnesota. As far as I now I don't have any friends for family in Minnesota. So it is none of my business if someone wants to murder a family in Minnesota. Right?

lol If you want to play the science game we could also use the term

"parasite" - an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host

And no we should not let people who kill actual living, breathing, people out. Apples and Oranges.

""parasite" - an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host

And yet that also describes a human embryo. The baby gets its food from the host. Not entirely at the expense of the host but then not all parasites get their food at the expense of the host. Many parasites instinctively know that if they kill their host they will have to find another host and that process may kill the parasite. So they will stay with the host only taking what they need to survive until that host dies of other causes.

I am not saying a baby is a parasite. But in order to not be rejected by the mother and in order to get food from the mother it has to set up a defense mechanism very similar to a parasite.

That is just science.

Not to mention that if the baby was an appendage to the mother, like an appendix, then once removed from the mother at any point the baby would die. Yet at some point the baby must leave the mother's body and live on its own. Medical science has advanced enough so that baby can be removed at a much earlier stage and survive.

I imagine that in the future medical science will have advanced enough so that the zygote can be removed and develop into a fully functioning human. The day that happens then all pro-abortion arguments will become invalid. The argument was over before it even started but people keep clinging on to an outdated Supreme Court ruling as much as they can.

People want sex without consequences so much that they would murder a baby for it.
