You don't do things because you belong to a group you do things because of what you, as an individual, are made of.

This thread is no different than the threads bashing minorities because a person of color did something illegal.

Make fun of it if you want, but the information is well documented for those who want to open their eyes. But I'm sure you didn't even bother to watch either video. You'd rather remain ignorantly blissful, but ignorance is bliss only for a while.

Some day maybe people will start understanding it's not a "right wing" vs "left wing" thing. The right and the left are just two power hungry factions of the same elite. The name of the game for both is to centralize power and control.

27% is a minority, yes, but a significant one.

I am one of "them" and I do not hate gays nor have any problem with gay marriage. Again with the false equivalence of opposition gay marriage to hating gays.
Of course your going to find some excuse or reason that justifies how Republicans are seen when dealing with women's rights. Your going to use smoke and mirrors to deflect their entire History with the War on women, into a singular item, like a "Quota?" Nope, ain't happening. You know exactly what I am talking
about. Women's rights and equality, not that some women are like men and are capable of kicking a mans butt. .


There is no such thing as a "Significant" minority. I think your confusing that with an "Insignificant" minority.

I know, I know, you don't hate Gays, and its your "Religious" beliefs. I rate that right up there with "the voices in my head" said....

Ad hominem attacks contribute nothing to the debate. They only do what internet debates are famous for. They make the debate go in circles, with each side attacking the other, and none using logic or reason. It's pathetic that anyone has to point that out to anyone. Everyone with an ounce of common sense already knows it.

Aside from being a troll, you clearly are dense as well. Keep making the case all you want that this maggot is a tea party right wing nut job who represents every (R) on the planet. My point is do not list his name while doing so. Sure he is dead, but likely expected/hoped the media, you and others would make him infamous.

More importantly, other unhinged nuts out there do crave their 15 minutes, but know they are losers, and the only way to accomplish it is by doing some horrific act of violence.
I'd be saying the exact same thing is it was a left wing nut job, as that has nothing to do with my point.

If you don't get it now, I give up trying to get it through your thick skull.

And people both belong to a a group AND do those horrible things because of what they are the group they decided to be part of and sometimes are incited into said horrendous violence by the group rhetoric. This would apply to both dylann roof and tea party conservative john houser. (and the Chattanooga islamist nutcase)

They don't just flip out and start killing people in a vacuum.

You have to either be living in a time warp or lacking in understanding that it wasn't the political party where average Joe Bigot has always stood, yet the political aisle as where they stood. That would be the right-wing conservative aisle then, and the right-wing conservative aisle now. LOL how the line is blurred by the rhetoric of modern day bigots talking the party of Lincoln talk.

This guy is yours, and like Republicans like to claim everything Bad is the "Left" this clown is definitely "Right" and the Right doesn't like the same medicine they dish out to "Leftists." What was that old saying? What goes around comes around?

This guy was just one step more extreme to the right than a Tea Party Member.
As a conservative woman, with many gay friends, I'm telling you that you need to get out more.
