Sure seems like a lot of them are against Trump and almost all the bussiness men I know favor him. As a corporate business I will see my tax rate drop from a maximum of 35% to 21%. The Germans are worried now as we are now below their corporate rate of 28%. There are quite a few other people will benefit also. https://www.npr.org/2017/12/15/571257526/final-version-of-gop-tax-bill-cuts-corporate-tax-rate-to-21-percent

IntellectualRN comments on Jan 11, 2018:

Atheism is a position arrived at by examining objective evidence and choosing the most logical conclusion. A lot of liberal positions are arrived at by the same process. Let's ignore the religion-based positions of the right (abortion, homosexuality, creationism) and focus on some others. Denial of ...

The number one cause of climate change is too many people and neither democrats or republicans will address that issue. At least Trump is trying to slow immigration but the liberals are fighting him tooth and nail over it. Hell in 2016 Obama’s last year we had 1.6 million immigrants which is about 600,000 more than the 10 year average.

Obama was a regulation nut whose costly regulations cost this country billions for little gain. Hell he even considered cows to be a major source of global warming! What about the 80 million buffalo who used to roam here in the US? They’re a lot worse sources of pollution than cows.

How could you be an athiest and vote republican? My mind is blown. Republican politicians are still fighting the existant of climate change. They don't care about science or while we are at it, other people.

Because from an economic standpoint the republicans make a hell of a lot more sense. Trump knows he can’t win without the support of the religious right even though he’s probably an atheist himself.

Obama was for big government and higher taxes. He wanted the government to control everything and wanted to take money away from a hard working person and give it to someone who had no desire to work. His idiotic regulations cost this country billions of dollars. It’s the democrats who want more government and some of the republicans are that way too but not Trump. With the tax cut he’s trying to cut down the size of government. He’s also done away with a lot of stupid Obama era regulations.

Liberals are often bitter enemies of religion because they both use the same tactics to recruit. Convince someone they're a helpless victim and offer impossible promises and a savior. If the GOP would abandon their absurd religious platform, they would win every election for the rest of eternity....

Trajan61 replies on Jan 11, 2018:

I’m afraid you may be wrong about the GOP religious platform as I’m afraid they couldn’t win an election without the religious right wing. I like the libertarians and Rand Paul was my favorite early in the GOP primary but the libertarians seem to be more a branch of the GOP than a party of there own. I’ll take a republican over a Democrat any day.

I’m a republican atheist and I fully support a woman’s right to an abortion. I also think medical and recreational marijuana should be legal nationwide. I also am a strong believer in science and evolution. But I think the democrats with their high taxes excessive regulations and socialist ideas are bad for the country. Unfortunately the only way the Republican Party can win is with the support of the religous right wing.

@ El-loco Yes brothels should be legal, no doubt. Hell in Pompei, Italy during the time of the Roman Empire before it was covered by the volcano there were 40 brothels. That’s in a city of about 6 or 7 thousand. Hookers and wine were both cheap. I’ve thought about that quite a bit and it seems those people may have lived better than us “plenty of sex and wine cheap”. What more could you ask for?

I replied that I had talked to both dad and papa when I was at the bar, go ahead and call my parents. I never heard another word on the matter.
