i didn't peg you for a marxist, but hey, opiate of the masses and all, kudos... and i mean that sincerely. I am not sure how you got "marxist" from what I said.. But my anti-religion stance is well documented here in the People's Republic Of Weigantia..

So Trump deserves all of the crap he gets concerning the alt-right new-Nazi bigots, in other words.

And the hatred, intolerance and bigotry returns.. :^/

Religion is a big con... Jesus represents the largest religion..

Hence, Jesus gets the rap...

Where did Jesus say those things? Paul, who didn’t show up until after Jesus’ death, was the one making lists of appropriate actions and telling everyone what was and wasn’t acceptable. Sadly, Paul’s letters make up the majority of the New Testament despite the fact that the disciples who had been present with Jesus during his teachings did not support Paul.

What did Jesus do that earned him the title of #1 con man?

How about give up all the really fun stuff and you get forever in paradise??

Pretty big con.... :D

When will Dems realize that their pathetic con can't possibly beat one the top con artists of all time, second only to Jesus?

What did Jesus do that earned him the title of #1 con man? Taught people to treat others as they want to be treated? Instructed that he who is without sin can be the first to judge others? Healed the the sick? What was the prize in his “con job”: getting whipped, beaten, and crucified for claiming to be the Son of God?

Texas is no longer a state that Republicans can take for granted; however, I don't foresee Texas flipping nationally anytime soon. Having said that, the double-digit wins by Republicans are winnowing down to single-digit wins, and Democrats are challenging Republicans in all 36 districts where they previously were allowing them to run unopposed. The long game is definitely in play, and statistically speaking, barring catastrophic events, Texas will eventually flip nationally... maybe 2028 at the earliest (obviously just my opinion). The 2018 primary turnout spike wasn't exactly evenly distributed statewide, and the biggest increases relative to prior midterms in 2014 and 2010 came in the major metropolitan and wealthy suburban areas. This bodes well for Democrats to possibly flip 2 or 3 seats in Texas. Most likely to flip are TX07, TX32, and/or TX23. Long shots but "in play" are TX02, TX21, and TX31. After the 2020 census, it's going to get infinitely more interesting with the continuing shift of population from Northeastern and Midwestern states to those Southern and Western, and I expect Texas will at least pick up another 2 seats.

One man's Heaven is another man's Hell. "Appearances may be deceiving." "One man's ceiling is another man's floor." "A fool's paradise is a wise man's hell." Never run with... scissors?" -STARGATE SG1, URGO :D So small donor campaigns can work. Who knew? I think I have heard that somewhere before.. :D It's funny how Democrats embrace small donor donations.. When it suits their agenda.. :D Don't fritter it away supporting the Big Money Democrats. You have acknowledged the solution- so do something about it. HOISTED BY ONE'S OWN PICARD :D

It's nice to have a commentary free from bile and hatred and intolerance... But soon Weigantians will rouse from their slumber and bring it all out again..

Let's enjoy some quality time until that happens..

Yes, Democrats have always coveted Texas.. And they have always been disappointed, as they will again..

And you hit it right on the head, CW...

Democrats think that identity politics always win the day.. No where was that more evidence than in the 2016 elections..

But what Democrats don't get is that the latinos they are banking on are AMERICANS first and latino and Dem/GOP after....

That is what Democrats don't get and THAT is what Democrats always try to fight against..

The idea that we're ALL Americans first and foremost and any other identity takes a back seat to that...

THAT is why President Trump was so successful in his campaign.

Because he reminded ALL Americans that there is something better than being black, better than being hispanic, better than being gay, better than being whatever..

Being an AMERICAN is better than all of that and so much more..

Democrats fight against that..

That it why Democrats will continue to lose..

Let the hatred and bile and intolerance begin..

I'll be around until the next commentary that is free of all of that...
