Obama complained about Fox and talk radio all the time.

It is funny how liberals act like Trump shouldn't have the right to respond to their attacks, while at the same time they act like they are the Guardians of Free Speech.

There are liberals at colleges, on social media like Twitter, and internet forums like this are trying to get conservatives banned.

You have a strong point and somehow it's not equal to the essence of shenanigans we boast toward them.

Conservative and fair.. ....my moto! We spew just as more trash if not more then out Democrat counterparts.

We're beginning to sound like children at the parks...next I'll hear nan..nan..na..boo boo..we have the house etc etc.. both sides of the coin behave foolishly sadly, we're the adults.

Let's act our age and not our shoe sizes.

I don't buy you are a conservative.

What are you doing is a posturing known as triangulation in which you pretend you are above the fray.

See, this is the point. Trump is about 10% as divisive as Hillary or Obama, yet the media tell you, "Trump is divisive", and you repeat it, no evidence required. It's pure indoctrination. It's not news.

Eventually he will ask you to do more for him. That has already started. But some have realized his plan and refused. Eventually these type's of leaders, are found out to be frauds.

Not this one. He has people advocating against a free press and for a state run media.

It's true Obama didn't merely call for legal action against the press -- he ACTED, by doing things like secretly seizing the phone records of AP journalists and Fox reporters, spying on a NYTimes reporter to try to uncover his source, and labeling a Fox reporter a "criminal co-conspirator" for reporting on an espionage case. But somehow Trump is a danger to the media because he dares to respond to his critics in kind? Spare me drama-queen the pearl-clutching.

QUIZ TIME: Who is responsible for the above quote: Donald Trump's communications director, or Barack Obama's?

I'll always Express my views as I believe in them. Certainly not how my political affiliation wants me to believe nor as persuaded to digest.

Clearly, I've stated my affiliation as an exclamation to my point.

One isn't required to agree with his parent's ideologies to certify kinship nor establish heritage to said gene pool.

I don't agree with all from the right; neither, from the left.
