"...Cortez (is that an American name?)..."

My wife's uncle lost his hand when he threw a Japanese hand grenade back out of a fox hole during WW2. He saved the two other soldiers with him. Purple Heart and later buried with military honors.

His name was Herman Cortez.

This kind of cheap shot about someone's name has no place in any discussion.

Good point well made.


Disturbingly, a Pew poll recently found that 39% of respondents said they "probably" or "definitely" wouldn't get the COVID vaccine when available. https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2020/12/03/intent-to-get-a-covid-19-vaccine-rises-to-60-as-confidence-in-research-and-development-process-increases/

To the extent public figures get the vaccine openly and freely discuss the procedure and answer any questions, it will conceivably encourage more to get the vaccine.

The Omar person is her best friend and would disagree with you. Hypocrite, Marauder. She knows it, you know it. She did not have to take it. The old people in her district must be very saddened by her selfishness. Handy would profess that she 'doesn't care about anyone else'. I would agree with Handy. She is a Hypocrite.
No. No1 just explained the situation and you’re sticking your head up trump’s arse again, hoping for a better outcome.

But the only possible outcome is orange defecation.

You can get after me about my references to AOC, but here is a person out of nowhere who wants to fundamentally change the way this 240 year old country has been working. You might expect ole AvJoe would be a bit incensed that she is even in DC. And get this, she is all for Socialism for this country. Some people on this thread think just like her, all for collectivism and all its wonderful benefits.
I don't like her politics nor do I like her. She will visit some bad stuff on this country. Yes, some of you are behind her, I am not. Wouldn't it be boring if we agree that she is just so wonderful.

Would changing the way your country works really be such a bad thing ??
That is the biggest fear within conservatism. Fear of change.
Maybe your country could use some change.

And maybe democracy can play a role in deciding what that change will.
If democracy decides a move towards Socialism, then that's what it is unless you decide to discard democracy.
Then you lose what you proclaim to the world what your country stands for.

Change is around us constantly.
If you don't want your country to change with the times, then vote your conscience.
But don't discard the votes of those that embrace the future instead of clinging to the past.

To those of you who cling to the "Little House on the Prairie" model that you want for America, I say this.
Your numbers are dwindling. Whether you like it or not.

And of course, have a happy holiday season.
