I thought liberals were for the majority, the 99%. Liberals continuously deride Republicans for pandering to the 1%, yet with this latest Donald Trump blitzkrieg, liberals are doing exactly that. Are you guys aware that Muslims constitute only 0.9% of the population in this country? Do you all really think you'll tip the scales by pandering to the 0.9%, many of whom probably agree with Trump?
I stand up for upstanding Muslims in our communities, cities, hospitals, in our military, and on our police force (NYPD).
Do Republicans think they are going to win by vilifying a portion of the country through fear mongering? Oh no, this small group of Americans are gonna take over this country and force us to live by Sharia Law.
Let's see... white cops are executing blacks; Conservatives are at war with women, gays, and blacks; guns are to blame, not people; global warming created ISIS; we're all going to die because of AGW; voter IDs and eVerify are racist ideas; and on and on.
Seems to me Republicans may have taken a page from the DNC playbook, being as how they vilify EVERYONE who isn't goose stepping to their drum.

What do you call it when a cop shoots someone in the back? Oh and conservatives dig their own hole with their actions towards women, blacks, and gays. Also let me know when conservatives wish to talk about proper gun safety, how many people need to die before that's an issue? Global warming has been creating some desperation, but I believe the US invading Iraq is what created ISIS. We all are going to die eventually. Voter IDs and eVerify are racist when they are targeted towards minorities.
But don't worry, you will continue to justify the actions of the GOP because you approve of what they do.
Sorry there's a difference between polls which you reference and election results (below) ...and votes are more important in case you didn't know...and a majority of Asians voted Republican in 2014...leading to Republicans to crush the Democrats.
Nevertheless, long term trends still indicate that Asian Americans still identify largely with the Democratic party. Being made to feel like perpetual foreigners with bellicose rhetoric doesn't help the GOP.
The Dems just don't pander to Muslims.. They pander to every minority group including illegals. They know they own the big cities, because of population density. Big cities like Fed money and big cities have a lot of people on subsidies. They know that math is in their favor.
Jesus Christ doesn't appear until the New Testament.
It is Jesus Christ that Christians follow, not the Jewish Old Testament.

Wrong.
He was trashing illegal aliens who murder and rape innocent Americans while our government looks the other way.
The liberals' hero -- Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt -- is the one who interned the Japanese.
And they should have been interned.
We have already found out that plenty of Latino U.S. citizens support their illegal alien brethren over our immigration laws.
Immigrants of color are not loyal to this country anymore.
They are only loyal to their race or ethnicity.

Again, you don't know what you're talking about.

Are you telling me Christians didn't once follow the Old Testament, and only decided to water down their new Bible to take out all the bad things from their original Bible?
Christians aren't Jews.
The Old Testament is the Jewish Bible.

The bigotry isn't from the right, but from the left: racial preferences and discrimination that favor non-whites over whites; gender preferences and discrimination that favor females over males.
The Left is so steeped in its racist and sexist identity politics that even the the word "bigotry" doesn't do full justice to its hateful and discriminatory agenda.

What does that have to do with conservatives?

What actions?

Criminals and terrorists don't obey gun laws.
Disarming law-abiding gun owners and taking away their ability to defend themselves and others amounts to aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists -- which the left always does.

What desperation?
Where?
Why am I not seeing any ads for beach front property on the Arctic Ocean?

It was Obama leaving Iraq without a residual force that created ISIS.

They don't target minorities if everyone has to use them.
Ah, so now they read both, so you are walking back your previous statement and admitting there is calls for putting non believers to death in the Old Testament, but modern day Christians just don't follow that book.
Basically if the Muslims were to write a New Koran that omitted the putting to death non-believers, you would be cool with them like you are the Christians?
No, I am not walking back from anything, the problem is that you are not comprehending what is being said. Christians by default follow teachings of Christ, and the New Testament, which specifically says the old law is obsolete. Christians read OT (if they want), but they do not follow the mosaic law. It is not just modern day Christians, but all Christians from the beginning, including the Jewish Christians (yes, there were such things, and still are).
