We can throw all this back and forth at each other all day long. Your opinion, my opinion.

The facts are a lot more complicated than what you said, and both sides have repeated many mistakes.

Both sides see themselves as more righteous than the other.

Neither side has ever come up with a perfect solution to anything. Both sides have managed to deliver partial solutions once in a while, slowly, and not a one of them is ever met with complete happiness by all.

Solutions are found only when we quit calling each other names and get down to the business of finding them.

But, you know, condescensions bother.

Upward condescensions convert to steam.

I always look askance when it happens to me.

Well, I'm conservative and I in no way want to "control" you. So, maybe those in DC, are not really Conservative like you have been told they are.

Where, Conservatives analyze the cause and the effects and weigh it with history, so the same thing is not tried over and over, expecting different results.


Have you seen this play out?

Seems simple, without over analyzing it.
Really? Civil rights era? Fear and emotions? Bull Connor? Wait. Let me move up a few decades. Willie Horton. Swift boats. Obama a Muslim from Kenya? The Right has been using fear and emotions to sell BS policy for YEARS. They did it in Iraq and Afghanistan . They sold an invasion of an innocent soveriegn nation off of fear and emotions. Come on ....... I'm no Trumpista. I can use critical thinking. Trump may be able to sell middle America the Brooklyn Bridge but you are not your boss.

Way to set a good example, for my points.
That was perfect timing.

Then why affirm what I said? If you are just here to troll? I could not have scripted that any better.

That had absolutely nothing to do with the 3 articles I linked. Did you even read them? It appears you did not.
