If anything I'd bring up Berkeley, you know where tolerance didn't want someone to speak so they rioted. Sure, tolerance. The same California that was just described as being completely open-minded.

"Stupid talking point"? Is that camouflage for hmm you're right but let's pretend it's not true or that the march wasn't basically for abortion only? Is it tolerant to not invite an entire population of women based on one moral belief? I'm sure there are many women who are pro-life that don't want to completely ban ban abortions. In my apparently crazy world, I would expect women would want to empower all women for the mythical equal pay, glass ceiling, whatever cause instead of of exiling some.

You mean Berkeley, where the rioting and violence had exactly ZERO to do with Berkeley students, and everything to do with anarchists that came in to cause trouble? more #alternativefacts I guess. Vast majority of protests were peaceful.

No, you're definitely not right. The march wasn't for abortion but keep spinning it that way because one group of organizers were pro choice. This was one group that apparently got word out to Fox News they were being excluded. The March was for all women, and all women's rights, regardless of belief.

It's pretty crystal clear what their intentions are.

People like Bannon/Miller, as one example. This entire argument is ridiculous, BTW.

I believe we've moved off topic to national politics and away from local trends/opinions.

Always blaming fringe groups, predictable. Weird that the student newspaper came out and had multiple op-eds defending the rioters. Lol and the use of #alternativefacts ruins your entire argument. Have fun being a part of the regressive left.

Google Ben Shapiro protests for more factual events of whiny college students trying to supppress free speech (same colleges that have known terrorists speak). And he isn't even out there like Milo is.

Locally, the Boeing workers voted against the union tonight 75% NO to 25% YES. A bunch of wasted money by both sides.

Glad it's over and glad it came out like it did. I didn't run, practically screaming and waving my arms, from Washington (<-- this is called "hyperbole") collectivism only to have it follow me here.

Let me put it this way - I don't care if you get an abortion or not. Just don't tell ME what to do. Or if you have a problem with same sex marriage, easy! Don't marry someone of the same sex! But don't tell ME who to marry. You are into Jesus? Great! But don't tell me I am wrong if I am into the worship of something else....get it?

Understand what intolerance is now?

I feel like there is a concerted campaign to confuse people, has been going on for at least a decade, that "San Francisco values" are coming for you! Lol. Those values are basically be who you want to be and support others rights to be themselves as well. I guess that's hard to explain if people are frightened. I just hate that fear being used to mobilize millions of Americans.

Hope it passes.

That sounds truly conservative. No wonder most flamed you. I am a socialist libertarian if that makes sense? I totally feel ya. In my personal belief, laws like banning large soda are silly but I find the other side is far more authoritarian. I campaigned for Sanders but voted Johnson. Maybe that's nut but I would totally do both again. It was a fun ride. Hey if you move to Sav we can be buds.
