[I voted for John McCain in 2008, even though I considered him a weak entry by the Republicans. But he was a man who had fought the good fight for America, and was a military hero in the true (old) sense of the word. While not agreeing with all of his politics – especially that climate change should be a national security issue for the US – but he did hew sufficiently to the conservative views on property, security (e.g. US as world's white hat hegemon), and liberty. His parting shot at President Trump will assure that his funerary plaudits will make political history. Thank you for your service, and RIP Senator McCain. gjr]

Roosevelt said in 1907, “My own feeling in the matter is due to my very firm conviction that to put such a motto on coins, or to use it in any kindred manner, not only does no good but does positive harm, and is in effect irreverence, which comes dangerously close to sacrilege…”’

Paul, writing as one of Scottish ancestry, I’ll say I was not offended in the least by the claimed “Scottish” incident. I am offended by your incessant pushing against people who disagree with your politics, and I’m also offended by your faux libertarianism. There are no “Green” libertarians in the ways you claim.
During the 2016 primary season you made a bold claim to me, face to face… the hard part after the November election will be rehabilitating the empty shells of GOP voters after their world is crushed. How’s that worked out for you and yours? How many have moved after you’ve pointed them towards communities where ‘their kind’ seems happier?

This is the link where the Trump quote spreading hate and fear came from. the quote was :

And another quote showing Trump spreading lies:
“Now one of the things I’m most proud of is getting rid of the Johnson Amendment,” the president said. “That was a disaster for you.”
The president doesn’t have the power to repeal a law — only Congress can do that. The Supreme Court can also rule a law unconstitutional, but that has not happened in this case.

PaulE 110pm – This is a bit embarrassing. Paul, you misunderstood the Trump quote you cited – “If the GOP loses, he said, “they will overturn everything that we’ve done and they’ll do it quickly and violently, and violently. There’s violence. When you look at Antifa and you look at some of these groups — these are violent people.”” He was talking about the LEFT, the Antifa becoming violent in overturning what the GOP has accomplished after Obama.
And in your 112pm citation, there is nothing about Trump saying anything about violence. The only use of that word was by a pastor questioning Trump and referring to the violence in Democrat run cities.

How about this. Good reason to support the Dems to take over the House. Drain the swamp starting with fat yellow Carp running the show.
“If Democrats win control of the House in November they will finally have the votes to force an issue they’ve been hammering for nearly two years: Making President Donald Trump disclose his tax returns.
Since Trump took office, Democrats have forced 11 votes in the House of Representatives to require that the IRS hand over Trump’s returns. These votes all failed because only one member of the Republican majority joined the Democrats in their request. If Democrats win 217 or more seats in the November election ― which they have a 74 percent chance to do, according to the polling aggregation site FiveThirtyEight ― they will have enough votes to get these documents.
“You’re damn right” Democrats will vote to get Trump’s tax returns if they win a majority in November, said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.).”
