Wrong. I'm very tolerant and willing to engage in polite discussions with conservatives who want to discuss the appropriate size of government, or tax rates, or the proper line between church and state, or foreign policy, etc. Have done it, will do it, etc.
This place used to have a few conservative posters who could do that Pete, some of our UK friends, etc. But it got to the point that the Fechers and Al Wolhstroms and Larrys of the world -- who just parrot right wing hate for "snowflakes" and who have no interest in a rational discussion. Those folks need to be called out for who and what they are.
And good conservatives, yourself included, are as much to blame as anyone. You've let your party become corrupted by hate for anything non-white, non-Christian or that you deem non-American. You've let news sources arise that feed on that hate and report it as "news."
I mean, LOOK at what Randy just posted. Look at it. You think a rational debate can be had with that?
....however there's NEVER even so much as a
hint of the hate you insist permeates the right in
any of your posts, is there, Jeff.
Just reread each of the last, oh I don't know, half dozen or so posts you made above. Seriously. Reread 'em. There's more venom
per line in them than there is in
entire posts made by others.
I cannot remember even one post you've made (although I'm reasonably sure there must have been at least 1 or 2 somewhere along the line) wherein you haven't used words like bigot, racist, hater, misogynist, homophobe, Mexiphobe, Islamophobe, this-a-phobe and that-a-phobe, nut job, jackass, et al, to describe whomever may be the focus of your displeasure at the moment - not to mention occasionally(?!) dropping the "F" bomb for emphasis and insisting that the right in general has gone "bat sh-- nutjob crazy"............and yet you are
OUTRAGED when someone uses the term "snowflake" to describe a LIB????? Ooooooookay...
When you can show me a video of
conservative hordes rioting, looting, committing arson, destroying public and private property, blocking freeways/surface streets and/or RR tracks, taking over government buildings, preventing LIBERALS from speaking at this-or-that venue, throwing rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails and whatever else at police (
not to mention gunning them down)...then I might be open to the idea that conservatives are just as "bat sh-- nutjob crazy" as liberals and therefore
do not somehow occupy a
bit higher moral ground.
But, UNTIL then.................
