I think you have a few different types of Trump supporters. First, there are the ill-informed. They get all of their information from Limbaugh and Fox News. I know many of these folks (Arizona is awesome), and they will literally start arguments with “have you listened to Rush”. Second, there are the bigots. I think they get way more attention…[Read more]

I get what he’s saying though. For example, I can’t remember how many times I heard people call others racist, based on nothing else than the fact that they were voting for Trump. They might be ill-informed, or just fed up with the current state of politics. The latter was not a viable reason, in my mind, to vote for Trump, but it certainly…[Read more]

Agree and disagree. There are clearly cases where one side is in the right, at least from a constitutional perspective. There should be no kowtowing in these instances, and the group that has the constitutional stance should dig their heels in and fight.

Also, saying that the left is solely guilty of the first behavior, completely ignoring the right’s propensity to do the same, is absurd. I cannot begin to count the times a staunchly conservative poster typed those exact same words (“you obviously have your mind made up”), or simply ended the conversation with an ad hominem attack. Both sides do…[Read more]

What makes somebody a liberal in your mind? I’ve been called a bleeding heart countless times on ufn, because I argue passionately for separation of church and state. Often, this means arguing for gay marriage, and against any law that has no scientific or logical basis. If the only “legitimate” argument for a bill is based on faith it has no…[Read more]

This is where I fall, and I have a feeling Thunder’s post was at least partially referencing my comment earlier. I happen to be very passionate about separation of church and state, and equal rights for all (I’m usually arguing for gay marriage as an example). Sadly, those are now seen as “liberal” views, when the country was literally founded on…[Read more]
