Hahahahha. Adorable. Really.
"Viktor Frankl, the psychiatrist and Nazi concentration camp survivor who wrote the classic Man's Search for Meaning, drew a similar social-psychological conclusion: deceitful, inauthentic individual existence is the precursor to social totalitarianism."

About as much chance of that as there is for Clinton going to prison.
Are you against giving terminal individuals the right to try experimental drug treatments?
MY Answer: I am all for trump signing that executive order. However it does not go far enough. I think the FDA is a bit too strict w new drugs. I prefer a European model.
Do you agree with lefties calling for righties to be kidnapped, raped, killed, etc?
MY Answer: Any calls for violence is wrong. Unnecessary. However it’s wrong on both sides. And that’s what I was pointing out. There were calls of violence against Obama, Hillary, etc. to the delight of too many right wing wackos.
Were you against when the prior administration simply let immigrant children into the country and turned them over to democrat charity organizations only to have many of those children killed or disappear through human trafficking (The WSJ reported on it a few years ago look it up)? MY Answer. I see no accurate reporting on the numbers of kids separated from their parents during Obama’s administration. WAs it done, I’m sure. However it was escalated and promoted as an actual policy of th trump administration. This administration has taken it to a new cruel level that I find heartless and mean.
I eagerly await your answer.
Your very broad generalization of hate doesn’t fit 90% of the people you direct it at. C’mon man. Enough with the generalized hate. In the end it makes you look close minded and short sighted. Statements like your title to this thread say more about you than it does about the people you are directing your anger towards. It just takes away all your credibility. Expending energy daily on hating people you don’t know isn’t healthy.
I respect your opinion and we don’t agree most of the time. However, if you are ever in KS I would welcome you in my home to have a beer or coffee if you prefer. Maybe if we chew the fat and I listen to your perspective I can learn something from you or at least understand it.
I don’t believe we are fighting for the soul of America. I believe our democracy is working the way it was intended. Intended to really stop tyranny. So that one person or point of view can’t be forced on free people. Wasn’t that the intent?
And for the record I was asked my opinion and I’m not sure how in opinion can be a lie. If I said that I thought the sky was red, there’s no way that sentence can be a lie.
I can’t believe I have to explain this. But I’m not entirely surprised
did you ask the folks whose names you used to register here for permission?
It reminds me of Tip O’Neill. He despised Reagan. Hated him and cursed him out in private of course because he was a gentleman. But no matter how much he despised Reagan, they met, they hashed out policies and they governed. I fear those days are over with the increasing of tribal politics. Democracy can’t continue with “my way is the only way and the other guys are just evil” kind of policy. It just can’t.

The hypocrisy of the proREgressive left well demonstrated with the difference in treatment between Roseann Barr and Peter Fonda.
And, while not promoted on the OPRESS, many of the proREgressives are admitting that the children are merely pawns...and nothing more.

When Do We Get To The Last Straw?
Long story short I had a very revealing look into the mind of at least some liberals. I am saddened as I have held to the belief that differing opinions would not prevent mutual respect. I am wrong.
What I learned is that if you support controlled legal immigration, you are a racist. I guess even the majority of legal immigrants who side with Trump are racists also? I cannot understand their logic, maybe because it doesn't exist?
I am now inclined to agree with those of you who see liberal educators as hating most things American. At least that is my take away from this. It really is bizarre beyond belief. It is worse that I could have imagined.
You know Jeff Foxworthy's routine of 'You might be a redneck...'? That is what I think their play book reads like, 'You might be a racist if..' and the if is anything about their idealogy you don't support. I even had them tell me communism is morally superior to capitalism.
Folks, we are in trouble. I might be retiring sooner rather than later.
It definitely sounds like you could use some new colleagues. If they resorted to calling you a racist, they lost the debate, and they don't deserve your respect, IMO.
Were these people fellow educators?
Matt
If the person on the legal side of the issue takes the bait then facts become secondary to emotion; the trick is to refuse that bait and keep coming back to legality. I've encountered similar instances with colleagues, even some friends; my general comeback is "I reject your premise; my position is based on the law alone; are you in fact arguing that laws should arbitrarily be disregarded?" If you really want to turn the screws you could even phrase a response along the lines of "Isn't arguing for selective enforcement (the position they're advocating indirectly by saying enforcement is racist) by it's very nature racist? Would that make YOU (your opponent) a racist?"
The great thing about being on the right (correct) side of an issue is facts are your friend.....just stick to the facts.....
Matt, unfortunately, they are educators. It makes me sick!
Mike, thanks, spot on!
Stop complaining snowflakes.
We're making this a two-way street now. Watch where you cross.
For too long the right has assumed progressives wouldn’t fight back. Welcome to the fight. Now stop whining, wipe your tears and pull up your britches.

I agree the restaurant was within it's rights to refuse service to Ms Sanders. It is a private business and no one has to eat there. BUT the same ones I've seen loudly applauding this action are the same people I saw loudly condemning the baker. And there is where they are idiots.
You're making this a 2 way street now? Why weren't you doing this all along? Suddenly, it's OK to deny service. That is typical liberal crap. We will be against it if you're for it until it becomes in our favor and then we will sing it's praises. Idiots. Idiots. Idiots.
By the way, when you read the accounts, including the one given by the owner, Ms. Saunders conducted herself as a lady, very politely and agreeable. The ones with her were told they could stay but they elected to support her and leave also. They even offered to pay for the meals that were being prepared before she was asked to leave.
Disappear and I don't care how...
Examples?
"Knock the crap out of them, I'll pay for the lawsuits." (at a rally) “You know, part of the problem and part of the reason it takes so long is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore, right?" (in response to protestors) Implying a "second amendment" solution for Hillary
The death of civility occurred the moment Trump announced that he was running for President.
Maxine Waters exact words: “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere."
Oh how offensive! How violent!!
Stop complaining snowflakes.

got it, thanks
When all facts, logic and reason cease to function in the brain..... rules and laws cease to exist. In their self inflicted emotional state everything from physical intimidation, mobs, beheadings..... all justified as it rattles around in their empty head..... because, um, just because! Spoiled emotional children who think things should always be as they want, get what they want..... or they will steal or break something to get it.... wearing crazy like it was a Badge of Honor....
Out of the leftist playbook...... one of Obama's mentors Bill Ayers was a domestic terrorist who bombed police stations. Not surprisingly he was worshiped by the left and later became a professor (In Chicago of course). Scarier yet he is now a "elementary education theorist" which is eerily similar to a "community organizer" trying to figure ways to brainwash elementary students....
PutZ...... you folks are some real sick puppies.... please keep up the insanity.... love to see it in full public display....
So, I presume that a website can deny service to a liar and fascist enabler.
Pat, nuke the twit immediately and permanently.

"...As John Podhoretz recently put it:
As usual, Obama made strange use of the word ‘we,’ because when he says ‘we,’ he means ‘you,’ and when he means ‘you,’ he means people who aren’t as enlightened and thoughtful as he and his ideological compatriots are.
It is also very useful to hark back to the tone obama set in his first term:
** Obama: “They Bring a Knife…We Bring a Gun”
** Obama to His Followers: “Get in Their Faces!”
** Obama on ACORN Mobs: “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”
** Obama to His Mercenary Army: “Hit Back Twice As Hard”
** Obama on the private sector: “We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.“
** Obama to voters: Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat”
** Obama to lib supporters: “It’s time to Fight for it.”
** Obama to Latino supporters: “Punish your enemies.”
He called those who disagreed with him “hostage takers.”..."
The proREgressive left has their Obama marching orders voiced by the likes of Mad Mazine and fellow Democrats.
Prediction: someone is going to get hurt/killed and the media will put all the blame on the deplorables who elected Trump in spite of efforts of the politicized and weaponized DOJ/FBI/State Department.
Restaurants Could Get In Serious Legal Trouble if They Discriminate Against Trump Admin

Angry rhetoric encouraging Lefties to seek out and harass those with whom they have ideological disagreements has gotten way out of hand.
Things are so bad that following Maxine Waters spittle-flecked demands for mob actions against members of the Trump administration (and presumably Trump voters), that Nancy Pelosi - no stranger to ugly rhetoric herself - had to step up to condemn the Democratic representative's threatening words.
For lack of a better term, we'll call Mad Maxine's law-abusing minions "Lynch Mobs," as a tip of the hat to Loretta Lynch's long stint of corrupting the DOJ along ideological lines. And really, who needs due process these days before attacking those who you don't want sharing your community, your government, your restaurants, or your drinking fountains?
Meanwhile, the mainstream media is doing its level best to clamp down on this dangerous excess of unthinking hatred...
Mike Luckovich won a Pulitzer for drawing brain dead crap like this. Even so, if you see him and his family dining in a restaurant please don't pee in his soup. Unless, of course, you can get video.
Only kidding! They're ramping the whole fake situation up by ignoring Trump's many accomplishments while calling him - and us - Nazis, and they won't be satisfied until there's actual blood running in the streets. And they don't care whose blood it is - they'll be able to spin it the way they want (against Trump and against America) no matter who assumes room temperature.
When an entire political party is so out of ideas that they resort to calls for violence, we should all be afraid. Not afraid for ourselves as conservatives, libertarians, or simple patriots (in violent confrontations, pussy hats, placards, and smart phones will prove to be of surprisingly little tactical value in the face of second amendment tools), but rather afraid for our country itself.
No enemy can defeat us from without...but there can be no winning another civil war.
And we are very near the point where law enforcement should be enthusiastically used to curtail the Constitutionally unprotected hate speech that is calling for such. The laws are, after all, already on the books:
US Code 2101 on Riots: (a) Whoever travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mail, telegraph, telephone, radio, or television, with intent—
(1) to incite a riot; or
(2) to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; or
(3) to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or
(4) to aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot;
and who either during the course of any such travel or use or thereafter performs or attempts to perform any other overt act for any purpose specified in subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (D) of this paragraph—?[1] Shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
AND LEST WE FORGET...

Radical leftists would have us believe that they stand for democracy, progress, human rights and social justice. But when they seize power, they introduce slavery, terror, famine, concentration camps and mass murder. As the Marxists used to say, this is no accident.

People JUSTIFY their lies all the time.... for the "cause"..... sometimes for the client.... something selfish for themselves..... but justifying it is just that. They are still evil lies at the heart of it. Yeah...... maybe some deserve a bit of hate in the tone..... lets them know their BS isn't being ignored..... nor forgiven.
