Duke University Removes Confederate Statue

[dr wu]

Conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and the preservation of our constitution.
Something more and more radicals want to see destroyed.
What about you Mr WU, would you love to see it rewritten to suit a bunch of radicals?

I do not want to see this country go down the drain as Venezuela has.
We are heading in that general direction.

To give you a serious reply...even though your post was a bit odd......I hope the Constitution stays in effect ( it was a good doc though it was written in a far different time...something we all need to remember), and I also hope both sides quit misinterpreting (and misusing ) it for their own agendas. The 'radicals' are on both sides btw...think Breitbart, Bannon, and white nationalism for the other side.
I think the country is fine regarding directions. We aren't going to end up like Venezuela. We have some mouthy people on both wings that need to move back towards the middle...imho.
Most of the people I know think both Clinton and Trump are sorry excuses as leaders and would like a decent third choice.

What is so add about it?
Yes the choices were not the best.
But it is groups like Antifa who most likely gets much funding from Soros to go out and start riots and get people all riled up for radical changes that ultimately will destroy the very things we still take for granted and freedoms we still enjoy. And isn't it funny how many Democrats often support such actions and especially their ideologies.
Yes the Republicans are as bad as the Democrats in many respects.
If you have been watching, reading or listening to some of news there is a serious effort to squash the freedom of speech.
If that is successful...what do you think will be next?
I seriously wonder what kind of government and society we will end up with in the next 20 years.

Can you be specific about who or what is trying to 'squash' freedom of speech?
I wonder about Soros funding radical left groups...what;s in it for him? He's a Wall St trader and stands to lose money if things change too far to the left. One wonders if this is just about playing the margins for him to make millions in trading games..? Otherwise what's his game? I don't trust all the right wing take on that. I would need to see a non biased evaluation.
And what 'actions' are you referring to..? I know lots of Dems in my area....they don't support radical leftists at all....most have no idea about such things and are too busy working to survive.
I'll be dead long before 20 years is up...none of the men in my family seem to make it past 75 and that's only 9 years for me.
ce'st la vie....

He's a bilderberg and he's a poster child for that criminal organization. It's what he represents as much as anything else.
We cannot have 300 people holding half the planetary wealth and not expect disaster. That is an absolute truth as ancient as humankind.

He's just one of many but not so many that every single one of them is now known and identified. They are guilty of the same crimes that have plagued humanity since the pyramids.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Nobody needs a billion dollars, nobody, not when people are dying for lack of basic needs, not when the people who have half the planetary wealth are sitting on secrets that would liberate all of us from lives as wage slaves, and not when what they hold is also keeping humanity from it's destiny to explore and venture out into the cosmos.

Dr Wu, you're still very young

 

[Gambeir]

Dr Wu, you're still very young

Possibly Chinese as well...not sure absolutely.

Dr Wu, you're still very young

Honey...I'm old enough to be your grandfather and I have forgotten more about the world than most people will ever know.....the point being that most who post on these forums are poorly read and tend to shoot off their mouth without knowing what they are talking about.
BTW..I'm not necessarily referring to you.

 

[dr wu]

I assure you I'm not Chinese....how anyone could think that based on my posts here and other forums indicates their lack of paying attention.
Just to educate you, which you obviously need, Dr Wu comes from a Steely Dan song from the album Katy Lied. It was mentioned on ' that forum ' before that I think you posted on. Look it up....junior.

My grandfather is 89 years old and he is full of energy. He even bought an Iphone

Well, whether you are referring to me or not, I know I read a lot and may consider myself an educated person

Most of the rich and powerful have attended Bilderberg meetings in the past... once again look it up.
Doesn't mean anything in the end. These people meet to discuss how they can get richer and more powerful and maintain their hegemony. This is common knowledge.
BTW..you sound like a communist pinko based on your hatred of money above regarding the Bilderberg members....and here I thought you were a right wing conservative..? Please feel free to list all these crimes these people are guilty of......it would make for a fun discussion.
The rich and powerful have always ruled the world (the human condition dear boy..)...the only thing btw you have gotten right so far.
To change that the whole system on earth regarding personal wealth, capitalism and trade would have to be scrapped .
Are you suggesting communism once again? Would you like to move to North Korea..? If not we all would love to hear your plan.

 

[Bluelight007]

Communism... I was raised by the communists an interesting experience
Guys, pleeeeaaase, just don't tell me that eventually all the jews rule the world. You are too intelligent for that

 

[dr wu]

.My grandparents of course are long dead....as are my parents..that should give you an idea of my age which I think is on the forum profile.
So I'm guessing you are in your late 30's...or so..? My daughter is 37.........so you sound like you could be my troublesome daughter....

 

[dr wu]

Communism... I was raised by the communists an interesting experience

And please tell us how it was 'interesting'.

 

[Bluelight007]

I was being sarcastic actually
You don't want to know how it was!

 

[Bluelight007]

I am 33. And I am an awesome daughter
I am sure your daughter is cool
My parents are lucky.Their parents are still alive

Portland mayor, has , ACLU and many universities and LGBT is pushing for a law that would limit it.
I watched George Soros on a nightline interview. I do not recall the guy doing the interview on him but he was questioned on some of his actions that has lead to economic collapse of some small countries. He said he knew about it but did not feel bad about it. It made him money so he did not care. I wish I could remember the country and how it was he manipulated the currency there that lead to their economic downfall.
The guy is a dirt bag IMHO.

Dirt bags who make money that way are all over the place on both sides...it's called rich people.
Again how exactly are they 'pushing' for freedom of speech laws? Can you be more specific? The ACLU has always supported free speech on both sides so that doesn't sound correct to me.

 

[SOUL-DRIFTER]

Here are only a few links.

Let me correct myself as it is UCLA and not ACLU

The Anti-Free-Speech Movement at UCLA

LGBT Activists Arm For Further War On Free Speech

Portland mayor asks feds to bar free-speech and anti-sharia rallies after stabbings

 

[dr wu]

^Thanks for the links...I was aware of the UCLA movement and the LGBT crowd is well known in the news media....I really wouldn't worry too much. Free speech is not going to be curtailed any time soon. These groups have been trying this route for some time and it won't get anywhere significant imo. Its a minority of thought and no one is going to change laws to suit a few radicals on the left...or for that matter any on the right who try similar things.
