well, I have always believed that people who are comfortable with their views should welcome discussion and debate. If they truly believe what they profess to believe people of any political persuasion should be able to defend their views. Further, they should welcome opportunities to do so.

I think some liberals are very intelligent and they certainly keep their ego in check. I can name at least 6 liberals on city-data I can certainly respect. I am not tired of them all. You need to be able to listen to different opinions in order to stay fair and balanced.

There is no reasoning with Trump-suckers. They hateful, ignorant, dangerous, and easily led astray by any raging loon who promises to hurt the people they don't like. Fight them on every level, but understand that they are basically beyond redemption at this point.
this.

Checked out the thread due to the title.
Cant believe the number of people in this country that will "step on their d..." (to quote another OP), to spite their own faces....

You yell at anyone who doesn't hate trump and call them idiot fascist and tell lies. No trump did not call Mexicans criminals and rapist, he said illegal immigrants. Americans have the right to want and defend their borders without you rioting POS coming to burn down our cities.

And as for your moral supremacy and acts as if you are heros fighting injustice like a bunch of royal pricks well guess what, Obama was bombing 7 countries and you were silent, he authorized the droning of AMERICAN CITIZENS and you were silent, he banned refugees and you didn't say a thing. All you care about is appearance and for people to pretend everything is okay.

You praise your bought and paid for politicians for crying crocodile tears and call those who call them out heartless monsters. Well FU, just because you love face Hollywood elitist who don't care a fig for you pretend to be outrage because a politician is actually doing what he said for once doesn't give you the right to demand a baseless impeachment because he burst your fake over rated bubble were you can pretend to be making a difference.
Is the special little snowflake upset? do you need a safe place where the nasty Libs can't use their logic and make you feel awkward for supporting a guy who is a racist, is hiring racists and is being led by a racist...




oh and you lied or are just poorly informed TRUMP DID call Mexicans a whole bunch of things...


When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

this too.
I stay on city data, because, you know I do think that intelligent discussion and debate leads to growth for all of us.
No one is an "liberal" or a "conservative"- its a spectrum.


Just gets dispiriting some of spouting, some truly unhappy, venom filled comments posted, its awful, sometimes I look but feel like its the scene of a train wreck (so awful you can't look away).

Thank you to all of you who contribute to honest, thoughtful debate -
and I will try to be better, personally on this score.

This is all I see from the fringe elements of both sides of the political aisle: "I demand that my voice be heard and my rights be respected, but those with whom I disagree ought to be silenced and rejected."

Millions of narrow-minded lemmings being led about by faceless conglomerates that provide both the fuel and the matches with which to ignite and burn away civil society and social discourse for sake of consolidating profits.

Pat yourselves on the back, but then hang your heads in shame.

Ah the ever tolerant Trump supporter. Can't wait to take back the government, that way you too can have healthcare that you otherwise couldn't afford. We'll drag you kicking and screaming into 2018 if we have to

And by the way...FU too.

Mexicans who come here legally aren't "sent". They come on their own with papers in hand. They aren't the issue the illegal ones are and Trump didn't say they were all racists, etc. Note your last sentence, duh.


Don't you liberals and ethnocentrics get tired up spinning the truth all the time?

I just find it deeply ironic/sad/humorous that around the conversation of respect and understanding are nothing but comments of unbridled hate and ignorance.


I try really hard to maintain a voice of reasonability, but I have to admit that my patience for stupidity wears thin at times, and that's stupidity regardless of political flavor.
