How can bile be such a popular elixir for so many Americans?
So what is your topic on what they are not speaking out about? If its immagration then people want the laws enforced as they are written. We do not want them ignored for the benefit of those breakling the law. That is part of dempcoacy ;enforcing the laws passed by our representative elected by the majority.If democrats want it changed then they control what is voted on; let them bring up the reform with amnesty;not just ignore the law on illegals.Knowing a law is being broken and refusing to enforce it is called Offical suppression.

The difference is that conservatives are not falling for it anymore, and it has the Left insane with frustration and rage.
No, it was a mockery of conservative straw-man threads without a specific argument or claim, and a test of your detection skills. Some of you passed.

If you realize why the original post is a straw-man (because it paints all conservatives as the same person, assumes that they all have the same emotion, asks questions directed into the air without any reference to a specific individual or organization), you can apply the same discernment to every opinion on the forum.

We've just proven it's well within your ability to recognize that "Why are Muslims such a hateful people?" or "Why are liberals scared of Fox news?" are complete straw-men. There are hundreds of threads that use the same device to create a controversy, and now you know how they work.

Now go forth, and put away your straw men. I expect great things from you.

Hate has been used throughout history as a unifier. American Conservatives basically is inclusive to everybody that looks like them, thinks like them, acts like them and worships like them. You don't meet all the criteria they really won't make any effort to make you inclusive in their vision for America.

Every single thing the OP said went over your head! From what I gather from you on these forums, that's not a surprise. Go back and re-read the OP's follow up post to comments on the thread.

This post is a PERFECT example of hate and intolerance. To whom Fellow forum members, conservatives, and pretty much everyone who doesn't see the world the way he does.
Very ironic,
