And as I'm sure you've seen, some buttons are very easily pushed.

Off topic.

Also, I'm not blindly partisan.

I ask questions to better understand why Cons believe what they do. But its hard to get answers to questions because the usual response is to just attack Obama, Hillary or liberals. Kind of what you are doing now. Avoiding the question and going straight for the attack.

Trench warfare. When the fireworks start people run to the trenches. The parties did the work of building trenches and duopolizing the trench market.

And everything you post leans super right.

What is your point?

No it's not, and yes you are as you keep proving. Why don't you explain why YOU are so blindly partisan as you constantly demonstrate?

Yes, that and myriad other things...and then there's Gruberism...how many times does that enter into what Dems try to pass off on us?

Are people really this dumb?
It's called the Public Education System where critical thinking skills are replaced with ideological mind melds.

Has anyone actually tried a few common core lessons?

As the great Slick Willy once said "it's the craziest thing in the world"

Why Do Some People Hate the Environment?
The GOP builds up the military mostly to protect the elite class
Why are Trump supporters blind followers?
Why do Republicans expect cooperation now?
Why do so many racists feel empowered by Trump?
Why don't Some Republican's care about the environment?
It's all Trump's fault the U.S. is so divided
Why are Republicans ok with violating the constitution?

You just said you're not partisan and made it a point to be partisan!

WTF

His list was not off topic, you just had nothing to say about how progs view EVERYTHING through identity and label EVERYONE who dare to have an individual thought.

Look, I stand up for true liberals. I believe they are dying on the vine as extreme liberals suck the life out of their party. We all know who the extremists are in here, they make it painfully obvious and care little for how stupid they appear as they hide behind their anonymous (and usually dumbass) handles.

Not showing their identity doesn't change the fact they are idiots. If this offends anyone, on any side, then it probably applies.

Only the left. Many Republicans didn't like what Megan Kelly and for example Shepherd Smith say and do and therefore they don't buy everything that is said on Fox News so your statement only aplies to the left.

That's a fair assessment.

I think it's realistic to say that the left is blindly partisan. Ideology is blinding.

The right is partisan but not blindly so.

I say that based on observing the type of posts from the left vs. right. Left engages in more attacks with not much thoughtful content. Many on the left simply appear argumentative.

I listen to MSM and Fox News, compare the two and there's no doubt that the left is absolutely in a rabid feeding frenzy right now...and most in their audience swallow the propaganda without questioning. That's blind partisanship. I don't see that on the right to the same extent.

The country is in deep trouble and unless people start thinking for themselves they will be contributing to the deepening of the crisis. The left has launched an all-out attack on President Trump, a duly elected President. They are in shock that they lost and now are focused on destroying him with whatever it takes. While the right didn't like Obama's policies and much of what he did, they didn't set out to destroy him with such vengeance.

What I see happening now, on the left, is troubling.
