I’m liberal in many ways (socially, mostly) and conservative in others (gun rights, etc.)
Your statement was a reply to a thinkingman comment where he accused me of being mislead by a headline.

Now wait a second. If my neighbor tells me to clean my backyard and I tell him to clean his own back yard first which is a mess, and then come to me and tell me how its done, how on earth is that racist?

They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. The Democrat Party Leadership is infested with communists and socialists who delude, lure and addict our nations needy with free government cheese.

That you thought that meant you is telling.
That’s not what is happening. I’m sorry you misinterpreted the posts trying to find out if people hold Warren and Trump to the same standard.
defending him against what?

That’s precisely what is happening. It happens in virtually every thread in the political forum. TRUMPPP!!!
Do we hold him to the standard we hold Warren or what?
John, you have such a confusing way with words.

I voted for Johnson in 2012. I voted for Trump just to see what would happen. I need to cut back on all the popcorn though. Didn’t anticipate this much. lol

Exactly! They deflect to Trump to take the spotlight off Warren’s government sponsored capitalism by which she plans to loot our federal treasury and transfer its funds to her inner circle pals just like Obama did with his green energy money laundering operation … 80 percent of the $billions going to his donors.

Elizabeth Warren’s Government sponsored capitalism is about fattening the fortunes of those holding political power with tax revenue, while regulating a free market, free enterprise system into submission, and then into extinction.
Do you believe in principles and holding both sides to the same standard or not, John?
Your silence will be taken as a “yes, I believe in double standards and do not hold Democrats and Republicans to the same standard.” There’s no other conclusion that can be drawn from your refusal to answer to consistent principles and standards.

I believe in following the RULES
Don’t divert a topic by changing it midstream.

And what is the topic? “Elizabeth Warren … a champion of iron-fisted government capitalism”
…
Elizabeth Warren’s socialist plan for “free” college tuition, and cancelling student loan debt, will be paid for by taxing millions of college graduates who worked for and paid their own way through college and are now trying to finance their own economic needs.

In this case the people are in the same yard, there is no “his own back yard.”

It’s the obvious and logical conclusion. That you’re trying to deny it is odd.
I didn’t divert the topic. I’m speaking on the topic of policy described in the OP. Do you hold ALL politicians to the standard you hold Warren or not? It’s a simple yes or no question, on the topic of your thread, John.
I understand your desperation not to answer-I get it. But your refusal to answer says exactly what I said here:

Huh? There are two back yards in my example and I’m telling my neighbor to clean his own back yard first, and then come to me about my yard.
. . .
Our democrat candidates running for office have no moral compass whatsoever. They refuse to make the distinction between charitable giving and tax tyranny to support the needy.

And I understand your insistence to not talk about the topic,“Elizabeth Warren … a champion of iron-fisted government capitalism”, and wanting to ignore the RULES of the forum.
