A few people sounding like Trump

[Drummond]

Are you saying genocide and political correctness are equivalent evils?

Are you seriously asking this ??

The one can, of course, lead to the other !!!

Take the extreme examples of Left-wing totalitarian regimes. The more ruthlessly dictatorial the leader, the greater the insistence upon thinking and speaking as the Almighty State requires of you.

STALIN, for example: as Left wing as can be imagined, you dared not speak up in an un-approved of fashion, on HIS watch !!

So tell me, if you can, that people he wielded power over, didn't die IN THEIR MILLIONS ....

Today, we have a more 'creeping' version of political correctness. Speak up against Muslims .. and PC imperatives insist that the act is 'racist' (... even though Islam isn't even a race !!). Tag Muslims with terrorism ... even though most of today's terrorism on this planet is done 'in the service of Islam' ... and this is one almighty 'no-no' to PC adherents.

Thousands of worldwide terrorist atrocities later, and the PC brigade are STILL unrelenting in their demands to not 'demonise' Muslims. Many will even insist, in defiance of Islam's entire blood-soaked history, that Islam is 'a religion of peace'.

.... So. Do you seriously not think that, today, such a 'PC' climate aids terrorist cells ?? Cells who may kill .. HOW MANY people, given the chance ?

YOU tell ME ...

Wake up, Pete, and get a grip on unsanitised reality.

In my opinion, what happens is that folks talk about such things out of anger - but likely want to rid themselves or our society of "liberalism", as if it were a disease (and very well may be!). But genocide, literally going out and killing liberals because we disagree with them? Not me, that's for sure. And I only speak for myself, but I have a suspicion that the others writing in this thread would see things. But they can speak and/or clarify for themselves.

In other words, you can live, petey!! I don't want you dead, my friend, I just want to rewire your brain a little, if possible.

[aboutime]

Delusional! He listen's and watches PMSNBC, and CNN too much.

He and the rest of the leftists could just leave the country and then we wouldn't have to worry about what Tyr means.

At this point in Time, BOTH SIDES are too highly Polarized.

The Left Hates Trump and wants to impeach him and get him out... Not even wait for the election..

The Right has become as bad as the left with the Rhetoric and the chest thumping.

Both Sides are convinced that theirs is the one TRUE WAY...

Here is a hint people.... BOTH ARE WRONG

since 2001 the left and right have taken up the same tactic. Character assassination.

NOBODY deals with issues
NOBODY Seeks consensus
NOBODY listens to the electorate that put them in office.

The Left and Right cant agree on even simple things anymore... Government is at a Standstill.

Our elected officials feel safe and protected in their positions. They have become the American version of the Houses of Commons and Lords... The very thing we fought to free ourselves from 242 years ago..

It has to stop... NOW... For the sake of this country it must end.

BOTH SIDES need to go back to the last time that both Left and Right actually worked together.

Both Sides need to pull back from the Fringes and move to the Center where they can reach consensus on the issues that matter to this country.

We need the Blue Dog Democrats and the Rockefeller Republicans to reassert their control of their respective parties.

We need the Nelson Rockefeller's, Lowell Weicker's, Zell Miller's and Joe Lieberman's back....

The Left and Right are BOTH purging themselves of their moderate elements...

In that direction lays folly....

Sounds reasonable on the face of it ... but, all this begs a rather important question ...

.. just how far should the Right go, to appease the Left ?

Americans voted to have Trump as their leader, their President. Trump has never, to my knowledge, been a natural appeaser ... YET ... the American public liked what they saw in him. Which surely suggests that a harder-line Right in American politics fits well with what The People would prefer.

Did you forget the house flipped in historic fashion? Does that mean nothing?

[Gunny]

Pretty dang odd, once again.

Chucky Schumer is extremely adamant and against a border wall. All the democrats stand against the proposed wall. And why, when they so very recently stood similarly to that of Trump?

The fact that these words were fairly recent, and these people speak confidently, and stand wholeheartedly against ILLEGAL immigration. Through the 90's and much thereafter, the democrats stood against illegal immigration and supported border security out the wazoo.

And 'ol Chucky was a lead speaker, apparently.

What I find ridiculous is the left in general going along with "Government by obstruction". The only progress being made is in areas the Dems can't get to. Yet.

[Black Diamond]

Did you forget the house flipped in historic fashion in 2010? Does that mean nothing?

Fixed. And no we didn't forget.

This will never happen. The only movement towards an agreement the left ever embraces is when the right caves and they get their way.

If you want to preach moving towards the center, then you need to talk to the democrats.

[High_Plains_Drifter]

So you complain about libs resisting when your entire presidents legacy is simply dismantling the previous admin? Real visionary there.

The kenyan's legacy NEEDED dismantling. The nation was practically in RUINS after his GARBAGE... his FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION that the nation RESOUNDINGLY REJECTED.

I mostly agree with your assessment. As a solution. As a hope? Nope. History dictates we will just continue marching left into the abyss. We can join the Greeks, Romans, et al in the pages of someone's history lessons as democracies/republics that died at their own hands. A lot of good teaching history has done when we have failed to learn from it.
