Diamond and Silk...or should I say Cheech and Chong.


Cracks me up that Faux News brings on these two silly looking morons on TV like they weren't paid $1200 by the Trump campaign.

It's embarrassing to think that a "news organization" is bringing on random paid buffoons to spew stupid talking points.
Some random troll wrote:Not to sound negative, but this team is owned by an arrogant cheapskate, managed by a moron and coached by an idiot. Recipe for disaster.

thats really harsh, bro. Borderline cruel and unusual commentary to reduce diamond and silk to buffoons. I think your comment is so over the top that it should be removed.

try this on for size.

cammac wrote:I am the 1st. to acknowledge that I am very left wing on social issues in Canada and that I haven't a problem with increasing our social network. Canada is a rich country and we have been blessed and I agree with a statement made by Hubert Humphrey.

“It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped. “

I also believe that government isn't a unending well of funds and that fiscal restraint is important that debt isn't passed on to future generations. Canada has done a credible job in this area and could do more. I am blessed and am willing to pay more in taxes since on average I pay a lower % of tax than most working class Canadians.

Frankly there isn't a reason that the current Canadian government couldn't have a balanced budget or a surplus. The only area I believe a deficit should be contemplated is on infrastructure where it could be like a mortgage amortized over 20 years.

I was asked by popper to educate him on universal healthcare and his 1st response was to condemn it with frankly some drivel. He asked for a personal experience and I told him and I told him about my cardiac incident. I haven't heard backs but other posters indicated in the USA I might be dead or that my medical insurer would decline the procedure.

The only negative was from SD20 in that I was feeding from the public trough but then again he believes it is fine to do medical procedure's for cash thus defrauding IRS and regular tax payers


I did no such thing. In fact I did the opposite. Two or three months ago, after reading your description of the Canadian system, I posted that maybe it was time for the US to consider it. Just recently I posted to you specifically that I was eager to learn from someone who has personal experience. How you translate the forgoing into “popper’s first response was to condemn it with drivel” is absurd. :banghead:

I've noticed you've been posting tweets from black/minority conservatives lately.

Is there some underlying reason or are they just random tweets?

Quotes from black conservatives, quotes from right-wing/Republican guest columnists in the Post or the Times, and similar devices are intended to give a superficial "see, even your side agrees with me" veneer to what he says.


meh. borderline shameful.

If there was an "intention" it was to avoid being called raciist. this board is kind of obsessed with race, tbh. More so than any other group Ive ever interacted with in my life. ENTIRE. LIFE.

SO the goal is to avoid the blanket racism dismissals of the actual message and to have actual dialogue.

But seriously? Y'all need some jesus in your lives. Or some yoga. Go get some chocolate AND some vanilla in your lives. Trust me. You'll like both. a lot.

Shameful by you and not borderline. I guess this trolling and button-pushing is a stimulation for you, but you're showing your true colors, so to speak, and they're not attractive. That's no dialogue on your part. Everyone here would have to be stupid to not see what you're doing. If you don't see it, again, look at yourself in the mirror, and call yourself bozo the racist clown - so I don't have to.

They've been coming on for a few years now. They made the final four a few years back. No idea where Wichita is.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.
