Does that mean you have the info because you have surveyed college classes, and I should do the same to be as informed as you?
Or are you still stepping in it?

I don't understand. One cannot assume, or simply make things up and state them as facts. That is wrong; and serves to make cloudy all t***hs.

Speaking of t***hs, our President states things that he wants to be true, and immediately believes everything he just said.
Sad, that his supporters won't admit that he lies for convenience; and are now engaged in emotional adaptability.


Of course he does.

So did Obama ... but the dumb masses of the left obediently believed each one. Have you seen your $2,500 per year health insurance premium reduction yet?

When one only sees, or howls, about dishonesty from one side they are nothing but a tool.

How many times have I exposed members here for clinging like grim death to f**e news ... after exposing it as f**e news?

Don’t have time now, leaving on a trip. I can say my nephew had to change schools because his grades were suffering because he was conservative. He changed schools to a more conservative school and is back to 4.0 GPA. My grandkids talk about the liberal views the schools expouse. I watched a video yesterday and college kids have no idea what Veterans Day is for.

The heart of our nation's problems.

You, who worry about Democrats versus Republicans — relax!
Here is our real problem. In a Purdue University classroom recently, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the United States. It was pretty simple:The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair the requirement to be a natural born citizen is.

In short, her expressed opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was taking it in and letting her rant.
Surprisingly, not many jaws hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating: “What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?"

Yep, these are the same kinds of 18-year-olds that are now v****g in our e******ns!

They breed, and they walk among us… Lord, we need more help than we thought we did!

No wonder more than half of graduating college students can't find a job and then can’t do the job once they find one, no matter how menial.

One can dispute many tenets of the Constitution, and from a practical point of view, those differences may even be true. What's magical about 35 years, why not 34? One doesn't have to be natural born to hold any other office, so why the president. For that matter what is natural born? What it comes down to is there must be regulations, and qualifications. So where does the "line" exist? And who decides what the line is? There is an answere to all those questions and a method to change the answers. IT's called THE CONSTITUTION. The founders were quite brilliant. They formed a government with laws and methods to change those laws, it's called amendment. These students that argued about the laws stated within that constitutiion, but their teachers were biased and didn't do their jobs. And as a result many college graduates don't know the first thing about that constitution. and they probably think the the 3 branches of government are oak, maple and pine.

Lets see what has Trump done?

Appointed a few judges who much to his chagrin are v****g as they please
Signed the no millionaire left behind tax plan
Seen gas go up $1 per gallon since he has been elected
Continuously lied
Maligned a war hero and disrespected a gold star family

Your list

Perhaps you are over reacting to what I said. I used the term “many” in case there were one or two that actually did touch on those topics while most do not. One cannot say with certainty that NONE cover the topic. Thus I was accurate.

Criticize Trump all you want, but he is getting things done that benefit the country and Americans support that. We would never have had Trump if the country had not suffered through 8 excessively long years of obummer and his socialist policies of sanctuary cities, open borders, mass immigration, g****r is fluid, along with many other things Americans disagreed with. He even mandated what bathroom to use and you are the sex that you “feel” you are. It doesn’t get any crazier than that.

With this college argument, I have a bit of input. After serving in the military for 20+ years and retiring I decided I wanted to open up a business of my own so I went back to college to another / different degree. I was completely amazed by the lack of basic knowledge about anything let alone how our government works. I was made to take a class called "Work, Home and Life Balance". There I sat, I retired military person, having moved a family and raised 6 kids doing so, being "taught" by a late 20's divorced female with no kids how to balance all these difficult things in life. The bologna she was spewing was pure 100% indoctrination. If any student questioned her ideas they were told they were wrong. Not, well thats one way to look at it but simply wrong and this is the way the world works. I don't think she was close to qualified to teach and really don't know what her primary focus in college was but it sure shouldn't be this class. First, to force a 40 something year old man who has raised 6 kids (all doing quite well) is ludicrous. But having to move three times and t***sfer colleges while getting my degree I can assure you it is clear the basics of how and why our government works is not being taught in high school, Not very well if it is. But they sure know all the politically correct answers to the "T". If you choose to believe it or not doesn't matter.
