    I wish Hunter S Thompson were alive to see and write about this.

    Most on the left is whereas the right wants to fight back. It's fear that leads to inaction.
    I don't know, judging by the speakers so far at this convention, I would say that it's the right that is really scared of all the boogey men out there in the world that are going to come and take away their freedom.

    This convention is ripe with fear.

    Action requires risk. Fighting radical Islam requires risk. You speak as if Rudy is trying to scare people but it is quite the opposite. It is those that prefer inaction who are afraid. It is the fear of risk. But that fear paralyzes you until the big white truck drives through the crowd.

    Nonsense. Complete and utter nonsense. Especially coming from someone who has no skin in the game. How many US troops do you know? How many people did you go to high school with who served and put their life on the line?

    I would much much prefer worry about the big white truck that is never going to hit me than put more soldiers at risk for an area that serves no benefit to this country

    0, which is precisely the point.

    I had two good friends that fought though. One marine infantry who served 8 years and is beyond fucked up.

    Tonight was thoroughly entertaining. Very solid night 1. It won't convince people on here but if the rest of the convention goes this way it will be considered a home run. The democratic convention will be a massive snooze fest comparatively.

    You think that did anything but alienate minorities and pander to the base?

    A snooze fest because they'll actually talk about policy and not the boogeyman?

    The one that got your friend beyond fucked up?

    I saw a number of minority speakers so I'm not sure what was so alienating. Second the American people don't think Islamic Radicalism is the boogeyman. If the democratic convention intends to treat as such then Hillary's campaign is going to struggle.

    This speaks for itself. I would expect an academic like yourself would want less of a reality tv show atmosphere for a presidential election.

    Listen, I don't expect much out of the DNC though I am very excited for the festivities here in Philly, but they're sure as hell not going to be screaming that they're coming to kill you

    Your President has troops fighting in Afganistan and Iraq right now. He has been in Afganistan and Iraq longer then the previous administration. The democratic nominee intends to keep it that way. Will she discuss this policy?

    In no way personal whatsoever at all.
    I would think an academic could explain in one sentence why HRC will be the next POTUS.
