Yeah, you got me.

We 12 year olds are big Reagan fans. My little brother disagrees; he has almost worn out his AuH2O t-shirt.

By the way, my English teacher says to use "you're" when you mean "you are". I lose points on my paper if I write it the way you did.

Are you in 6th grade, too? Hope you get the hang of contractions. They can be tricky.

Yeah, you got me.

Nothing like grammar policing forums, it is won of the last vestiges of a losing argument.

I provided an error to pounce on Professor, so you can sleep tonight.

We 6th graders follow Reagan's 11th, as do our opponents.

I am not a believer in the 11th commandment; I am no longer a Republican.

As a wise man once said, I did not leave my party; my party left me.

Enjoy winning your primaries.

Suit yourself.

Plenty of us liked Romney, McCain, Bush, Dole, and Reagan.

If you want us to help elect Harris in four years, just keep it up. All you have to do is nominate the twitter man child, and we'll vote Democrat again.

It is.

What you are thinking of is called tribalism.

It is a question how you order person, country, party, and democracy.

For me, person < party < country < democracy.

For you, it seems you have the order reversed.

I just note you don’t have god or family in there. Also we aren’t a democracy but a republic and even the ancients understood that a democracy does not equal liberty since a democracy can without check turn into mob rule and the oppression of a minority

our family motto is: “God, country, family, service”. It’s inscribed in the crests hanging in the boys room.

The old pedantic democracy/republic thing again?

Most words have multiple meanings. I thought it was clear that I was using the generic definition of democracy meaning any system of self-rule, not the narrower definition meaning a direct vote on every issue.

Putting God in the list leads to bits of nastiness like the 30 years war. Count me as not a fan.

Exactly, I noticed God and family (especially a traditional one) never make the list on the left.

Well I’d sooner put the constitution over any ideas of self rule. The south in the civil war was all about self rule...didn’t make them right
