Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

• Political Forum • Reform US Government •

Are you prepared to dispute these two facts?

No need. YOU have all the answers...all "merit" based.
However, others read your response before me and responded.

But I will add...the role the United States has been placed in by the rest of the world is based on what....yes I said "placed in". We have "accepted the role" based on what...
Does the word "merit" come to mind?

mer·it

mer·it [mérrit]
n (plural mer·its)
1. value: value that deserves respect and acknowledgment a work of considerable technical and artistic merit
2. good quality: a good or praiseworthy characteristic that somebody or something has (often used in the plural) 3. ability: proven ability or accomplishment She got her promotion based on merit.
4. religion spiritual credit: spiritual worthiness achieved by doing good works

Which definition do you abide by?

The humility of knowing one's own relative ignorance is a hard pill to swallow.

Politics are a comfortable home for arrogant, ignorant, and unsubstantiated opinion.

I need to stay the HELL out of the Politics forum.. LOL
.......good riddance

I suppose if your idea of stable is routine rape murder of your women, being under never ending UN sanctions, greed and corruption with same UN that would make Al Capone blush, crumbling infrastructure, and too many other "stable" things to list than every thing there was just peachy. About as good as Obambi's district in Chicago.

Thanks for that. You have a problem with people who think differently from you? No surprise.

Or we could leave them to truly intelligent immortals like like Bush and Cheney.

You presume to know my politics on the basis of what I posted. I did not differentiate between one group or another, or say whether I agreed with the OP or not.

The right to vote is based on freedom to THINK and CHOOSE.

OPINION has a bad habit of obscuring the TRUTH, and making one's interpretation of events and facts conform to one's ideology.

BTW: You WISH you have RID of me. Don't count on it. People pontificating on politics (regardless of their affiliations) are fair game.

I don't wish anything of you.
But thank you for your opinion/pontification on this "political forum" regardless of your "political affiliations".

And thank you for your vote/choice based on "your" opinion of whats best for our nation.

Now, would you care to enlighten us on the "truth"

Oh I disagree. It's my opinion you should venture into the political forum more often. Even if you disagree with me.
You see I still believe that this is suppose to be a nation "of the people, for the people" thus we the people get to voice our opinions. Even you.
