There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
In the CNN town hall video, the way he framed his reply is just as telling as what he said.
He didn't lay blame on anybody, he didn't try to be divisive and say "the left this" or "the right that". He answered her Standard Woke Question respectfully while still disagreeing with her 100%. He didn't turn it into a pre-wrestling match insult contest, he just stated his beliefs, where he sees the problem and his goal for fixing that. He's trying to bring people together and lead them toward that goal, which is what leaders do.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
A regrettably weak response from Ramaswamy and a missed opportunity to educate the idiot professor and the voters. He missed a golden opportunity to try to right the sinking ship that is this country. Fundamentally, at its core, DEI is Marxism and is therefore completely antithetical to equal treatment under the law, to the Declaration and to the Constitution. Why not have the balls to say that Vivek? The idea of "diversity" or "diversity of opinion" as an unalloyed positive good is complete and utter nonsense. E Pluribus Unum (our founding credo) means "out of many, one". Diversity must subsist within the principled unity by which this Republic was constituted. That principled "unity" is to be found in understanding the Declaration and Constitution in the same way that the Founders understood them. DEI represents a complete refutation of that "unity" because its core premise (equality of outcome) is completely inconsistent with and contrary to that equality before the law that was enshrined in our founding documents. Why won't Vivek say this? But then again, no Republican candidate is saying it. Trump won't (or can't because he's too ignorant of our history and principles) and Vivek is not as smart, historically grounded or courageous as I hoped he would be.
As far as equal pay for women? When she can dunk a basketball from the foul line, take a nickel off the top of the backboard without a ladder and hit threes like Larry Bird, then she can get paid the same. BTW, women pro-basketball players are paid a far higher percentage of total revenues from their sport than the men are from theirs. Furthermore, the NBA (the men) massively subsidizes WNBA (women's) salaries. Women are generally paid less than men because (1) they often leave the job market for extended periods to birth and raise kids, which is natural and desirable; and (2) they can't perform the same physical work that men can.

So you deny the truth of what I wrote above? If you do, then you're part of the Marxist problem, not the solution.
You forgot to say "Shalom" at the end of your post, Sheckey.
You just can't suppress your anti-Jewish bigotry, can you? If you don't agree with what I said, tell me where I went wrong instead of venting your bitter speen of anti-Semitism upon me when it has nothing to do with the merits of what I wrote in this thread. Focus on the issue at hand Bristoe and respond on the merits. You can do it!! It's not that difficult. BTW, did you know that in your anti-Semitism you are in lock-step with BLM, Marxists world-wide, the professoriate at the elite universities, the corporate media, Islamic terrorists worldwide (including those who brought down the Twin Towers) and virtually all of the hard-Left? You are in bed with and in sympatico with them, but lets discuss that in a separate thread.
If I was being honest i'd say, I wish Trump was as well spoken and could think on his feet as well as Slamasalami.... and hope Trump is smarter than to ever debate him.
What would happen should he debate him?
AS much as I love Pres Trump , he doesnt possess the vocabulary to debate Slamasalami effectively.
I don’t see how elegant debating skills relates to strong effective leadership quality’s. Some people can be easily swayed by articulate Bull$hitting. Lawyers and salespeople make a good living at it.

So after that tongue lashing, does the rug muncher in the first video like dick now?
I don't really think she has tried it. With a little work and a change in behavior I'll bet she can get a dick or two. She might even find one she wants to marry up with. None the less, I like the girls too so I guess I can see where she is coming from.

Ive never seen the video you just linked, but I'm aware of him and some of his positions and I think I probably agree most, if not all of them. He is a strong opponent of DEI.

The difference is in personalities. Personalities are shaped by a number of things and no two are the same. That creates your "diversity of opinion". I like Vivek and IF he gets the nomination, I'm voting for him. He's not my first choice but I'm flexible enough to accept him if he get's the nomination. I will hold my nose and vote for Haley if I have to because "out of many we are one".
That is why democRATs keep on winning. (other than the cheating). If Charles Manson were the nominee you can bet every lock step democRAT will vote for him. Which I believe is why Joe Biden is so despised. He didn't win the job honestly and even those folks with flawed (leftist) personalities can see that. Apparently, most Americans still hate a crook.
No matter how hard you try, no 2 people will see everything exactly the same. Vivek may not rise to your expectations but IF he is the nominee, are you going to vote for him ? (Yes, Tarquin I'm talking to you) In my humble opinion we do not have a Mitt Romney or a John McCain or even a GW Bush in the race. We have real Americans running who want to serve and protect America and Americans. Some with a history of doing just that. I think many of us had to hold our nose when we walked into the booth and put our X's next to their names. But, we did it because it was the right thing to do if we wanted to stay "out of many, one".
The good folks of Argentina have taken a chance with an outsider (Javier Milei) and he is not setting on his a$$, he is doing things that have the socialists and the Unions all upset. It looks like he is over the target. I would be surprised if he survives his term but I hope he does.
Like we had to do in 1980 when Americans voted for Ronald Reagan. Jimmy had to go away. Joe has to go away.
So Tarquin, if Donald Trump is the nominee are you going to vote for him ?? Don't forget, "out of many, one". Your words.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
A regrettably weak response from Ramaswamy and a missed opportunity to educate the idiot professor and the voters. He missed a golden opportunity to try to right the sinking ship that is this country. Fundamentally, at its core, DEI is Marxism and is therefore completely antithetical to equal treatment under the law, to the Declaration and to the Constitution. Why not have the balls to say that Vivek? The idea of "diversity" or "diversity of opinion" as an unalloyed positive good is complete and utter nonsense. E Pluribus Unum (our founding credo) means "out of many, one". Diversity must subsist within the principled unity by which this Republic was constituted. That principled "unity" is to be found in understanding the Declaration and Constitution in the same way that the Founders understood them. DEI represents a complete refutation of that "unity" because its core premise (equality of outcome) is completely inconsistent with and contrary to that equality before the law that was enshrined in our founding documents. Why won't Vivek say this? But then again, no Republican candidate is saying it. Trump won't (or can't because he's too ignorant of our history and principles) and Vivek is not as smart, historically grounded or courageous as I hoped he would be.
As far as equal pay for women? When she can dunk a basketball from the foul line, take a nickel off the top of the backboard without a ladder and hit threes like Larry Bird, then she can get paid the same. BTW, women pro-basketball players are paid a far higher percentage of total revenues from their sport than the men are from theirs. Furthermore, the NBA (the men) massively subsidizes WNBA (women's) salaries. Women are generally paid less than men because (1) they often leave the job market for extended periods to birth and raise kids, which is natural and desirable; and (2) they can't perform the same physical work that men can.
The difference is in personalities. Personalities are shaped by a number of things and no two are the same. That creates your "diversity of opinion". I like Vivek and IF he gets the nomination, I'm voting for him. He's not my first choice but I'm flexible enough to accept him if he get's the nomination. I will hold my nose and vote for Haley if I have to because "out of many we are one".
That is why democRATs keep on winning. (other than the cheating). If Charles Manson were the nominee you can bet every lock step democRAT will vote for him. Which I believe is why Joe Biden is so despised. He didn't win the job honestly and even those folks with flawed (leftist) personalities can see that. Apparently, most Americans still hate a crook.
No matter how hard you try, no 2 people will see everything exactly the same. Vivek may not rise to your expectations but IF he is the nominee, are you going to vote for him ? (Yes, Tarquin I'm talking to you) In my humble opinion we do not have a Mitt Romney or a John McCain or even a GW Bush in the race. We have real Americans running who want to serve and protect America and Americans. Some with a history of doing just that. I think many of us had to hold our nose when we walked into the booth and put our X's next to their names. But, we did it because it was the right thing to do if we wanted to stay "out of many, one".
The good folks of Argentina have taken a chance with an outsider (Javier Milei) and he is not setting on his a$$, he is doing things that have the socialists and the Unions all upset. It looks like he is over the target. I would be surprised if he survives his term but I hope he does.
Like we had to do in 1980 when Americans voted for Ronald Reagan. Jimmy had to go away. Joe has to go away.
So Tarquin, if Donald Trump is the nominee are you going to vote for him ?? Don't forget, "out of many, one". Your words.
kwg
Tarquin doesn’t vote, he finds it beneath him and a waist of his precious time.
False, but even if it was true it would be irrelevant to anything I've said on this thread. You need some lessons in logic.
You need to STFU.
You Don’t Vote, as such you have No Bitching Rights,
You're not the arbiter of who has bitching rights. Candidates will take money (campaign contributions) over one vote (in a state where the vote doesn't even count/matter) any day because money get votes. You're such a child, such a little baby. Why don't you come over and shut me up yourself? Pussy.

Miles, a fair question. I didn't vote last time because my vote made zero difference. I sent him money last time and I've sent him money this time but, hell I just might get off my ass and vote next time just to make you guys happy!
We'll be watching. You know, kinda like the klan.

For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR. American conservative. Never trust a white liberal. Malcom X Current NRA member.
If I was being honest i'd say, I wish Trump was as well spoken and could think on his feet as well as Slamasalami.... and hope Trump is smarter than to ever debate him.
What would happen should he debate him?
AS much as I love Pres Trump , he doesnt possess the vocabulary to debate Slamasalami effectively.
I don’t see how elegant debating skills relates to strong effective leadership quality’s. Some people can be easily swayed by articulate Bull$hitting. Lawyers and salespeople make a good living at it.
Seriously? you seriously dont see how being well spoken and effective at communicating ideas and positions might be helpful to the leader of the free world?
