There was a survey not long ago asking people the following hypothetical question: If a house were on fire and you could only save a child or a pet, not both, which would you save? Incredibly, some hesitated. Even more incredible, a few chose the pet. I find it equally incredible that we are hesitating to choose which is worse: Donald's words or Hillary's actions (including her aggressive defense of her husband's attacks on women). What is wrong with people?

CPT The answer to your question "What is wrong with people?" is simple they have lost their humanity.
We live in a 24/7 instant everything, violence saturated, narcissistic centralistic environment. Children are taught from birth they are a special flower and no one is allowed to say different. They are taught that they are the center of the world and everything must revolve around them. Take in point an RP post that asked why High Ranking people have their own parking spaces. It is an entitlement driven society. They only care about what will make them feel good, or can help themselves in some way.
"They, the intellects who seek escape from moral values, they are the damned on this earth, theirs is the guilt beyond forgiveness"

SSG Drew Cook - He won me over. It's a very apt quote, absolutely pertinent, regardless of the source.

Who are you kidding? I'd be thrilled if everyone read Ayn Rand, then we could have a solid discussion. "Atlas Shrugged" is a masterpiece.

Well, I'd play with your analogy a bit but I wouldn't insult my pet by labeling her "cuckquean" or either of my children by labeling them "Trump". I admit up front I detest the cuckquean. I also don't have a lot of respect for Trump. However ... "It's the Supreme Court, Stupid!" ... I'll vote for Trump in November. I can't imagine a SCOTUS tilting way left which is where it will go if the cuckquean wins in November. I'll also add that I will NEVER vote or otherwise support any so-called conservative that abandons Trump and turns to the cuckquean. Ryan ... the Bush family ... that Mormon guy that ran the last time and lost ... I now have a litmus test for folks claiming to be conservative candidates. That they don't like Trump doesn't bother me. That they don't like him enough to support a Democrat, much less the cuckquean, at the expense of the Supreme Court does. A lot.

Since his words include murdering civilian enmass. Advocating War crimes of multiple varieties and going to war over rude gestures. I think his words prove that he is a vile POS who can not be trusted with the ablity to destroy the world with yet another childish temper tantrum. Him quoting Putin Proganda news company's clumsy mistake at the debate is also disqualifing.

I don't know where you are getting this stuff. It makes you sound silly. And the business about going to war over rude gestures is very appropriate. Tyrants always test their potential adversaries with "gestures". Think of the beginning of WWII when Hitler sent troops into the demilitarized Rhineland. That was a gesture. Had anyone objected, done anything, countless lives would have been saved. But, as Churchill scolded the Prime Minister, "You had a choice between war and dishonor, and you chose dishonor. Then we had war"

CPT Jack Durish - Targeting the families of terrirists.AKA non-combat tents is a war crime and he has advocated doing that. Torturing peole because they deserve it is a war crim and a US crime and he has advocated that multiple times. Taking their oil I'd both theft and a violati ok n of the Geneva onventions hot mention that the scumbag being too damn ed ignorant to relive that guarding the oil wells and pipelines while we steal the oil would be deadly. Guarding explosively flammable targets in a nation that you are plundering is insanely dangerous. Not to mention that their is not a single nation on the planet that will allow US forces to support that thievery from their soil.
