    They're the villian because they purposely work many of their workers "part time" so they don't have to provide them benefits. Then they facilitate them going to the public sector to get "assistance". They got $6.2 billion in federal subsidies in 2013. They also close down small businesses when they come to town.

    They're a great example of why "trickle down" doesn't work. They take all of these steps to save costs and they don't spread those savings out.

    He didn't start the problems we have, but he didn't do much to help either. We should probably focus on his birth certificate instead though.

    They stay in business because they offer the lowest prices around on most everything they sell, and the general public (their customers), even including government employees, benefit directly from the low prices at Walmart stores. No one is forcing people to take jobs at Wal Mart, either.
    Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.

    Ben Carson is breath of crazy fresh air. But come on, he's a little nuts with some of his beliefs. He's a brain surgeon not a lawyer, teacher, politician, etc. I don't know why people think Brain Surgeon equals smart person who is qualified to run a country.

    Besides, we live in Oklahoma. The GOP nominee is going to carry the state.

    Where has electing only career politicians gotten the country over the past 75 years?

    Re: Please Educate me!

    I'm ready to vote whoever into the role of president. Seems like it could be a good time with Trump. At least he's ran his share of businesses. Some successfully and some into the ground but whatever. Maybe it would get more people involved than just the extremely sad percentage of people who actually turn out to vote followed by the large percentage of those people not giving two squirts of **** after the fact.

    Re: Please Educate me!

    I'd take Trump. I detest political correctness and the typical politician type. He might be great, might not be, but he'd be a change.

    Maybe that's what Obama meant: After him we'd be hoping for a change?!?!

    The guy is pro business, and loves America, it seems. He knows open borders is unquestionably insane. Kudos to you.

    I thought it was that after he was gone, we'd be left with change.

    Give me a President that is honest, that will engage the DEMs in Congress in serious negotiations, looking for common ground, will uphold the Constitution to the highest degree of respect, will surround himself with accomplished experts in their fields, will reduce the size, scope, power and authority of the Federal government, will reduce the red tape and regulations that have strangled the life out of entrepreneurs, that will adopt "Zero Based" budgeting and accounting practices and will enforce ALL federal laws, and will ignore and reject one of the biggest frauds to ever besiege this nation...Climate Change. Will initiate a crusade to greatly reduce fraud, waste and abuse throughout the Fed, including the DOD. Will greatly reduce or eliminate the department of education and energy, will enforce the border, and fine any employer $10,000 caught employing an illegal alien, will withdrawal all federal dollars to sanctuary cities immediately, maintain a strong military, and will promise to only engage our enemies in a manner in which their total annihilation can be the ONLY objective in such engagement, will uphold ALL of the Amendments to the Constitution, and will require that any government assistance will be granted only if able bodied individuals give back to his or her community in some form. The days of someone being subsidized for sitting around and being lazy...are over!

    That's a good start.

    Because the world is so much better off with no England, Mexico, (Hah! I have to give you points for the CSA-That-Is-Not!), Spain, Germany, or Japan.

    Or did you mean, that objective is so asinine that we would never go to war outside our borders? If so, kudos for subtlety.

    Anyone else noted the vast number of Chinese laundries suddenly opening up in Syria ?

    "You want starchee " ??

    Those Arab robes are certainly looking crisper and whiter.

    Someone, I'm not saying who, must have some insider information.

    5-0, You laugh, but the ChiComs are everywhere and you should not underestimate them or their ability to eventually get their way. I have no idea if they are in Syria, if there is construction going on there, probably. But do not think they are just workers over there, everyone is likely a party member in some way.
    Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.

    Alpha we are dealing with the same folks that went along with their hero about Isis being the JV, or Libya will be better off without Gadhafi. They think they have access to the same sources as a Presidential candidate. So we must remind ourselves to consider the source from time to time.
